Chapter 3

Archer

I wanted to do something special and original. I got her to agree to see me Saturday and spent all day Friday planning.

I picked her up as agreed upon a little around 1 pm lunch and took her to the zoo in New York City. We made the trip via the train and I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to sit close to her and talk. I hadn’t been to a zoo since I was young and I was willing to bet the same about her. I was going to treat her like a queen today and win her heart. But deep down I know that if I really had any chance of being with Macy, I was going to have to own up to that day. I needed to show her I was better than that…that I was nothing like Liza.

We spent a few hours browsing the animals, stopping for ice cream, and getting to know each other. She was brilliant. Her laughter was infectious and watching her was mesmerizing. She was beautiful, funny, smart, kind…the whole package…and I couldn’t believe we were actually here together.

After a good bit of walking we built up quite the appetite and I had a perfect dinner waiting for us back in Saratoga. We took the train back and went to one of my favorite spots downtown with a rooftop section that I had closed down just for us. It was a swanky place but since we were there privately our casual attire was fine.

Besides, I wasn’t sure I wanted her to change out of those jeans. The way they hugged the curves of her ass was even better than that black skirt the other day. I was having the hardest time controlling my mind from drifting off to the vision of her naked, but I kept shaking it off so I could focus on getting her to trust me…like me…maybe more.

The hostess directs us off the private elevator that leads to the roof and takes us to our table.

Just as I requested the entire span of our view was decorated with roses, petals, and decorative lights to set the mood. I was going to have to tell her tonight and I needed everything to be perfect.

I pull the first chair out that I come to at our table and nod for her to sit.

"Well thank you, kind sir," she giggles and it sets my heart flying.

“You’re very welcome my lady.”

I take the chair across from her and admire the look that the candles and lights have cast on her pretty face. Her eyes are lit up like the fourth of July and her red lips have my cock twitching. Today has been a blast but now it's just us. I can't tell if my heart is flying from the excitement of being with her or the fear of losing her after I tell her who I am.

I just pray all goes well.

“I hope you like lamb,” I smile.

“I’ve never tried it actually.”

"Well, you're in for a treat then."

“Speaking of treats,” she clasps her hands in front of her on the table, “I had a great time today.”

“I did too,” I flash a grin back at her and try not to clench my jaw as her cleavage calls out to me from her shirt.

The waiter appears asking for our drink preferences and comes back a few moments later with a nice sweet red wine.

Part of me doesn’t want to risk ruining dinner but my feelings are exploding for this woman and I’m ready to face the music and know if I have any chance at all.

It’s time to tell her who I am.

She picks up her wine glass and I do as well.

“To us,” she toasts and we clink our glasses lightly together.

I lick my lips after a small sip of the potent liquid and gulp down the knot building in my throat.

“I have to tell you something,” I whisper.

“I’m sorry what?”

I repeat myself and lay my hand across the table on hers.

“Macy, I have to confess something-“

She flips her hand over and grasps mine, “I do too.”
