“What?”
“Oh, she just sent me a text from your phone. So now, I have your number.”
“Hey, if you two are going to be dating, then you need to have each other’s phone numbers.”
“Good idea,” I told Nica.
“Right!”
“Yeah, good idea,” he agreed.
When we left the restaurant, the snow was starting to fall, and Nica sat in the back seat reading the weather forecast. “We are supposed to get eight inches by morning.”
“Then we will have plenty to make a snowman tomorrow,” Alex replied.
“Do you want to help us, Lexi?” Nica asked me.
“Um, we’ll see. I have some work to get done. I was going to work on it today, but since I was with you, I’ll have to focus on it tomorrow.”
“Okay, well, we will let you know when we go out. Maybe you can join us for an hour.”
“Sounds like a plan.”
When we arrived back at the apartment building, Nica asked Alex for his keys.
“Why?”
“Because I’m going to go back to your apartment so you can walk Lexi to hers. That’s what you are supposed to do on a date, Dad. Where are your manners?”
The two of us chuckled as he tossed her his keys, and she darted down the hall with a quick goodbye over her shoulder.
We held hands as we went up the stairs, and I suddenly wished that his daughter wasn’t staying with him so that I could invite him in. After being with him all day, and the soft touches and sporadic kisses, I was dying for more.
Neither of us spoke as we reached my door, and I unlocked it and pushed it open. He lifted a brow. “May I come in for a moment?”
I nodded, and he followed me in. The door was barely closed before he was turning me in his arms and his lips were crashing over mine. I clung to him, wanting so badly to start removing his clothes and drag him back to my room. Sadly, I knew that wasn’t going to happen.
He pulled back, resting his forehead on mine. “One of these days, I’m going to come all the way into your apartment.”
“You think so?”
“Yeah, I know so, and when I do, I’m going to kiss every inch of your gorgeous body.”
A spiral of desire twirled around my spine and headed south. “I think I’d like that.”
“Oh, baby, I know you will.” He grew contemplative for a moment. “What are you doing tomorrow night?”
I shook my head. “Nothing.”
“Okay, then after I drop Nica off, maybe we can at least move from the foyer to the couch.”
I laughed softly and stood on tiptoe. “I think that might be a good move.”
