“I like you, Ainsley. I want to date you. I want to spend time with you. I wanted to sleep with you last night, but I also didn’t want to scare you. I wouldn’t have hinted for more. I just wanted to be with you.” I reached out, cupping her jaw and forcing her head back. “Eyes, pet.”
When they landed on me, her lips parted.
“I wanted to lay beside you. You’ve opened up feelings in me that I can’t explain but I know that I’ve definitely never felt them before.” Lowering my mouth to hers, I breathed her in. My dick jumped, pushing against the fly of my jeans.
My phone rang somewhere in the distance, ruining our little moment.
Breaking the kiss, I crouched until we were at eye level. “Iamsorry. Can you forgive me?”
She chewed her lip, her eyes searching my face. She reached out, brushing her thumb along my mouth and closing the distance between us. When she pressed her lips to mine, that was the only indication of ayesthat I needed.
“Friday,” I murmured against her mouth. “I’m taking you out for dinner. I’ll pick you up and drop you off. All the lame shit they do in the movies.”
A breathless laugh left her.
I grinned, grabbed her hands, and brought them up to my mouth. “Okay?”
She nodded.
“Good.” Pulling away from her, I went to get another coffee when I felt a tap on my shoulder. Looking down at her as she stepped up beside me, she lifted her hands.
I accept your apology,she signed slowly for me.I’m not used to this either, so I’m sorry too.
Don’t be,I responded.
She smiled, nudging me in the shoulder with hers.
We made another coffee and spent the rest of the morning playing one of her video games before she had to get ready to go to the center. I found myself wondering what her actual voice sounded like. Was it high-pitched or husky? Was it soft? Either way, I prayed that one day I would be blessed enough to hear it but until then, I would never take my time with her for granted.

Later that night, Iheaded into Rouge to meet up with my brother and a few of the other guys. I would prefer if we went somewhere else, but I had to give it to the owners; the drinks were cheap, and the women were decent looking. If that was what you were looking for anyway. I just wanted to spend time with Ainsley.
I sent her a quick text, letting her know I was thinking of her.
Me: I hope your day went well.
The dancing dots appeared almost immediately.
Pet: It did, thank you. How was yours?
Me: It was good too but uneventful. Now I’m at the club with a few of the guys and I’d rather be with you.
Pet: You’re at a strip club but you got jealous over the fact that my assistant is a guy?
I stared at her text, not unexpecting her to actually call me out on my shit. I think that right there, made whatever these feelings I had for her, grow. Immensely.
Me: I’m a dick and I’m sorry for how I reacted.
Pet: You just there for drinks?
Me: What are you asking me, pet?
The dots danced, stopped, danced again.
Pet: I’m having a moment of jealousy myself.
Me: You have nothing to worry about. Just here for drinks with my brothers. But thank you. I’m glad I’m not the only one.
