She placed her hands on her head. “This is literally fucking crazy, Drew.”
“I know.” I laughed.
“So, you knew I was here in New York?”
“No. Everything is handled through my realtor. Rick just called and told me that a nice young woman rented it. I had no clue it was you.”
I placed my hands on her hips and spoke, “Weird, right?”
“I have no words right now. This is totally crazy.” She smiled.
All I wanted to do was feel the softness of her lips again. As I stared into her blue eyes, she stared back at me. Should I risk it? Maybe she didn’t want me to kiss her? But I’d never know until I tried, and I wasn’t about to let this opportunity escape me. Brushing a strand of hair from her face, I tucked it behind her ear and leaned in, brushing my lips against hers. She returned my kiss and placed her hands on my chest. Our tongues softly tangled as our lips gently touched. Nothing hot and heavy yet. I needed to respect her boundaries.
“I couldn’t stop thinking about you since I left Hawaii,” I quietly said between kisses.
“I couldn’t either.”
I broke our kiss. “You couldn’t stop thinking about you either?” I smirked.
Her hand lightly smacked my chest.
“No. I thought about you all the time.”
“Then why didn’t you call?”
She sighed and turned her back to me. “I did.”
A smile crossed my lips. “The other night? That was you?”
“Yeah. Sorry about that. I just—” She paused.
“Just what, Jillian?”
“I just wanted to hear a familiar voice.”
Wrapping my arms around her from behind, I kissed the side of her neck.
“I’m happy you did. But I do have a question.”
“What?” She turned around in my arms.
“You could have easily known that I was from New York just by the area code.”
“Oh. To be honest, I didn’t even pay attention.”
“Do you want me to leave?” I asked as I ran my thumb across her lips.
“It’s probably for the best. Right now isn’t a good time.”
“You’re right. I’m happy you’re here.” I smiled as I kissed her forehead. “Give me a call, okay? And don’t have your number on private.”
“I will, and I won’t.”

Drew gave me one more kiss before I walked him to the door.
