“Please call me Luke,” I told her, seeing the glowing look in her eyes I could tell that she liked me just as much as I liked her.
“Well Luke, you can call me Linda.” She stated as I stepped out onto the porch.
I had thought about kissing her but I didn’t want to scare her off on our first date. I didn’t think that she would turn me down but I didn’t want to take that chance either.
“I was wondering if you would like to go to the each with me tomorrow,” I asked her, almost forgetting to see if she was busy the next day.
“I would love to. What time do you want me to be ready?” Linda didn’t look surprised that I had asked her and I was thankful that the heat of the day was finally cooling off.
“I would like to come over and get you tomorrow around ten if that’s not too early for you.” I laughed, watching her shake her head.
“I get up earlier than ten but that’s fine with me. I want to thank you for a wonderful evening and again for the flowers. They are my favorite.” Linda’s voice was so sweet that it made my heart race, I wanted to lean in and at least kiss her on the cheek but I thought even that was too much if I kissed her I wasn’t going to want to stop.
“You’
re welcome, thank you for inviting me. I will see you tomorrow morning.” I winked at her, turning away from her I walked down the lit walkway and as I turned into my own yard I looked over and saw that her door was still open and she was watching me. The smile on my face grew wider.
She could’ve just shut the door and turned the porch light off, I wouldn’t have blamed her if she did. It was late. But seeing that she was going to watch me go into my own house, it was a sign that she wasn’t just out for a good time. She wanted to get to know me better, she was interested in me and not what I could do for her.
Tonight had worked out in my favor and as I opened my door to walk into the house was when I saw that she had shut her door and turned the porch light off. I knew she was just as happy as I was. She wasn’t the type of woman that could control her facial expressions, I could read her like a book. It was clear that tonight was the beginning of happiness for us both and I couldn’t wait to see her tomorrow. To spend all day with her, enjoying each other’s time.
Chapter 7
I leaned against the door after I closed it, a smile on my face and excitement running through me. I couldn’t wait until tomorrow when I could see him again. I planned on getting up early in the morning and I could see that he wanted to kiss me, I would’ve let him kiss me if he leaned into me but I could see that he didn’t want to push it on the first date.
“Glenda!” I called out, knowing that the maids had their own quarters in the guest house that was connected to the mansion but I was hoping she hadn’t reached the outdoors yet.
“I’m still here, come have a cup of tea with me.” Glenda invited me into the kitchen.
She already had the tea kettle on the stove and she was standing there watching it, I knew at any second the whistle would blow to tell her the water was plenty hot enough.
“Tonight turned out better than what I thought it was going to. I had a wonderful time, but there is one thing that worries me.” I bit down on my lip, I wasn’t sure if I should tell her, it was private but I had to tell someone and it couldn’t be Luke.
“What’s the matter, you look a little afraid. I thought tonight went extremely well, minus the cook bringing the food out late but it was still hot so before you go and yell at him in the morning he did keep the food hot.” Glenda pointed a finger at me, knowing me too well.
“That’s not what the problem is. Luke wanted to kiss me tonight, I could feel it in my bones. I could see the desire in his eyes.” I told her, hearing the low whistle of the tea kettle and before it got louder Glenda took the teapot off the burner and shut the stove off, pouring two tea cups and letting the tea bags set in the water before she brought them to the table.
“What’s the matter with that? Isn’t that what you’ve been wanting since you’ve been stalking him ever since you moved in?” She laughed, sliding my hot tea over to me as she took a seat beside me.
“Yes, that’s what I’ve wanted but kissing leads to other things…” I let my voice trail off, hoping that she was going to be able to read between the lines.
I knew that Glenda was smart and when she thought about it and her eyes grew wide she looked at me and I knew that she knew what was going on. I nodded my head and blushed as I looked down at my cup of tea.
“You’re still a virgin,” Glenda stated, knowing the answer but also wanting to confirm what she was saying was true.
“Yes, I don’t know how to tell him that. I didn’t really think it was going to be much of an issue.” I whispered, shaking my head.
“You didn’t see it as an issue because you expected him to be a jerk, you expected him to be a man that was stuck on himself and wanted to overpower everything about tonight but he was right when he told me earlier that he was a simple man and you have to believe that. I know I do. Even him picking the flowers was a big thing.” Glenda had nothing bad to say about the man, and frankly neither did I.
“My problem is how do I approach him with this?” I asked, looking for her advice, her guidance. I had to have some answer.
“Tell him the truth, if things get too close for you, you’re going to have to tell him.” Glenda shrugged her shoulders.
“Do you know how hard that’s going to be?” I asked her, it wasn’t the advice that I was looking for but it was the advice she gave me.
“Well, I can’t deliver every message for you. Like today, you were afraid to ask him over for dinner and look at how well that turned out.” Glenda showed me the positive of my worries. I had been worrying for nothing.
“You’re the one who asked him to dinner for me.” I reminded her, she was acting as if I had done it all myself.
