“Hey, Sexy,” Nancy stated seductively. I shot her an evil glare. She would not even want to go there.
We sat in that restaurant for a good three hours, eating, laughing and drinking. That get-to-know you period. Nancy and Calibri started vying for Mike’s attention but it was obvious that he was down to fuck one of them, or both. It didn’t matter to him as long as he got some pussy. Definitely not my type of man, but Nancy and Calibri thought he was hot.
“Would you like to take a walk on the beach?” Aleck asked me out of the blue.
“Absolutely.” I quickly got up to follow him.
“Be good, or be good at it!” Nancy yelled out after us.
As we walked toward the shoreline, Aleck took my hand and nothing had ever felt so natural.
“Your friend is a trip,” I said.
“Don’t hold it against me.” He laughed. “Mike can be a character, all right.”
“Is he married?”
Aleck stopped dead in his tracks and let go of my hand. “What makes you ask that?”
“Women’s intuition. It does exist, you know.”
Aleck did not respond.
“It’s cool,” I said. “Nancy and Calibri really don’t care; especially Nancy. They’re only here to hang out and have fun. We’re all grown.”
He stared at me. “Aren’t you going to ask me?”
“Ask you what?”
“If I’m married.”
I shrugged. “Like I said, we’re all grown.”
I could tell that he was dying to ask me if I was married. There it was, on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed it.
“Why’d you let go of my hand?” I asked. “I was enjoying that.”
He took my hand back into his. “So, Los Angeles. Is it really as hot there as everyone claims?”
“You’ve never been to L.A.?”
“No, not yet. I’ve always planned to visit but haven’t made it there yet.” He smiled at me. “Maybe I’ll have a reason to come now.”
I cleared my throat uncomfortably. “Los Angeles has tricky weather. During the day, it can be hotter than hell and by nighttime, you might need a parka. It’s beautiful, though.”
“And obviously full of beautiful women to boot.”
“Ooooh, Aleck, you have mad game.”
We both laughed. “No, not me,” he replied. “I simply recognize beauty when I see it; both inside and out.”
In my entire life, I had been many things. Bold was never one of them. Yet, something overcame me at that very moment and it changed me.
“Aleck…”
“Yes?”
“There’s something very sincere about you; something I want to experience…if only for one night.”
