Camila sighed. He always seemed to have a reason, good or bad, for his verbal harassment of the waitstaff. “I just think you could be kinder about it,” she murmured.
After tonight, Camila was going to rethink this whole thing with Adrien. He was a nice guy with some flaws, she’d met plenty of them, but she didn’t fancy herself the kind of woman that could get a man to change if he didn’t even realize what he was doing wrong. And though she pointed out things to him, it didn’t stop him from repeating the behavior on the next date.
Once they finished eating, Adrien paid—without leaving a tip, she noted—and they left the restaurant, as usual. He got her coat for her and placed it on her shoulders as they walked out into the cold evening. She shivered, pulling the edges of her coat around her as she moved to the curb, waiting for a taxi to appear so she could flag it down and head home. There was a heavy silence between them, but she didn’t make a move to fill it.
“How do you feel about something different this weekend?”
Camila turned and looked up at Adrien. She hadn't expected him to ask this early. Usually, he waited until she got home, sent her a good night text, and then either asked if they could meet up again, or called her during the day time. She was slightly cautious this time.
“What do you mean by different?” she asked carefully, noting the expression on his face.
If she didn’t know any better, she would say he looked nervous. He probably knew she was contemplating breaking things off with him. Still, his question piqued her curiosity and she considered giving him just one more chance. He was so close to being such a great guy. His attention was flattering and he made her feel beautiful and exciting, not to mention that being with him had gotten her out of the house more in the last two weeks than she’d done it almost the last four months, ever since the ugly break up with Jordan.
“I have a yacht, a private one that belongs to me,” Adrien said, “and I was thinking we could sail out for the weekend? There’s a bed and it’s equipped with food, so if you’d like, we could head out on Saturday and return on Sunday? Or come back on the same day, either way is fine.”
Holy crap, a yacht?! Camila had never been on a yacht but she’d always wanted to. It sounded so glamorous. And of course Adrien had one, she didn’t know why she was even surprised. Especially since he’d often spoke of taking her somewhere they could be alone. And being out on a yacht would definitely give them time alone, wouldn’t it? But did she really want to be alone with Adrien for an extended period of time?
She felt herself wavering a little bit. Maybe being alone with him would give her a chance to help him work on his rude behaviors. She’d only known him two weeks. She couldn’t expect him to change overnight. Plus, when things were good with Adrien, they were great. She had a lot of fun with him. He was charismatic. He made her laugh. And she had to admit, a romantic weekend on a luxury yacht with a lovely view of the water did sound pretty amazing.
“I would like that,” she said hesitantly, but in a way she was looking forward to seeing how he would be when they were on their own without anyone to distract them.
The best part about it just being the two of them, it would help her make up her mind about him once and for all. And whether they were out the whole weekend or not, she knew it would also give her a chance to find out the answer to some of her more erotic thoughts. Adrien was a good-looking man, and she couldn’t help thinking she would finally get to know what Adrien was like in bed. It was enough to add a bit to her excitement for the trip. It probably wasn’t the best thing to be so focused on, but it really had been too long since she’d been with anyone.
“Great,” Adrien said, his nervous expression replaced with a grin. “I’ll let you know tomorrow morning where we’ll meet.”
She was already thinking of what she’d need to bring that she didn’t even notice that Adrien had pulled over a cab for her. As she got inside to head home, she continued to contemplate her relationship with him. Adrien was a complicated man, and having access to all that money did him no favors. He’d been allowed to get away with his poor behavior for too long because of it. She wasn’t sure if she would be able to continue with him if he kept it up, but she knew no man was perfect and neither was she. She had things to work on too. Maybe they could work on them together? This trip would tell her one way or another and she started to really look forward to it.
