“So, Happy Nara, do you have time for some dinner tonight?”
This was one woman I wasn’t going to let slip through my fingers.
But I don’t think she was as happy about my invitation as I thought she might be. She slipped off her chair after throwing some money on the bar for the drinks.
“Gosh, Brodie, thank you so much. I actually have to get back to the office. You know how start-ups are. My workday doesn’t usually end until nine or ten p.m.”
She typed something into a text message. Hmmm.
“Looks like my assistant Mimi is really needing me for something.” She smiled and shrugged.
All right, if that’s the way it was going to be…
I stood, too. Even in those sexy heels, she still had to look up at me. And god, I liked how she did that.
“It was a pleasure meeting you.” She extended her hand, which seemed a little formal, but whatever.
“I’d like to see you again. I like your crooked smile.” Boom. I’d done it.
She looked nervous. Did I look like an axe murderer?
“Oh, thank you.” She fumbled in her bag and produced a business card. “That would be nice.”
I leaned in to kiss her cheek and inhaled the simple shampoo scent of her hair. Clean and beautiful, just like she was.
She gave another little laugh, and I realized her face had turned bright pink.
I’d embarrassed her. Now, if that wasn’t the cutest thing.
Her phone buzzed again, and again she furiously responded to the text.
“Mimi again?” I had to torment her a little, especially since I knew she was beating me at my own game.
“Yes! Yes, something’s going on at the office. I gotta go. See ya.” And she went running out the door.
I watched her stride purposefully past the front of the restaurant window, never looking up from her phone. Good way to trip and fall.
Which I think I already had.
