I suck in my lips thinking on it and decide to push it out of my mind. This is just dinner.
I walk down the hall to the living room where he’s sitting, looking way too hot to be fair. He’s wearing jeans, a long sleeve, white button up that is rolled up to his elbows, showing his beautifultattoos lining his forearms. His jeans are a light blue, hugging his thighs.
I’m in so much trouble.
He turns to look at me and I try to control my features when his mouth opens in shock, like this is the first time he has seen me.
I smile seeing him look me up and down from the tips of my sandals to the top of my head. He stands up and walks to me.
I look down at his chest, his gaze making me nervous. He places one finger under my chin, lifting my head so I’m looking at him. “I have never seen a more beautiful woman in my life. God, Emily.” His voice is raw and ragged. It’s like he can’t believe I’m real and right in front of him.
I smile wider, my face burning from his compliments. “Thank you, Isaac. You look amazing. I might have to fight off some women tonight if they try to steal you,” I joke.
He laughs and I watch his movements, feeling like I’m floating. “There is no chance in hell someone is stealing you from me.”
Oh shit.
“Yeah?” I ask. I put my hand shakily on his arms. I’m scared but this is the only time in my life where I’m thrilled to be scared.
His face softens. “Yeah, angel.” He slides my hand down his arm taking my hand in his, intertwining our fingers. “Ready for our date?”
I almost hit the floor at his admission. “Yeah.” He studies me for a moment and leads me to the front door. My whole body screaming ‘holy shit’ at the same time.
Chapter
Six
EMILY
We pull up in front of an Italian restaurant and there is a huge line in the front waiting to get in.
“Wait for me to come get you,” he tells me. I sit, watching him walk around the front of the truck looking at the parking lot like he is making sure that it’s safe.
He pulls open my door, takes my hand and fixes my dress on the way down to keep it from bunching up when I slide out.
He is just amazing with this thoughtfulness. He puts his hand on the small of my back, right over my scars. I eye him to see if it bothers him but he’s unfazed.
He has seen me at my absolute worse and is still here.
He gives his name at the front of the line and we’re led into the building. I hear a few people yell at us in anger as we’re led in.
I’m nervous that someone is angry with me. “How come we’ve been let in before the others?” I ask him.
He smiles at me, tucking me closer into his side as we’re led upstairs to a private room. “I own this place.”
My mouth opens in shock. I was not expecting that. The waitress shows us a table that is overlooking the restaurant and the other side is overlooking the city. It’s beautiful.
“We can watch the sunset.” I eye the sky that is just now turning orange and pink, sliding behind mountains in the distance.
“That was the idea.” He pulls out a seat for me. I sit down and he scoots it in behind me. He sits directly beside of me, both of us facing the window so we can watch the sunset.
“Thank you for this.” I know that he has put a lot of effort into this. He made sure we’d have a private room so that I could feel safer.
“When did you plan this?” A female waiter walks into the room sliding two menus in front of me and a basket of rolls.
I take one and dip it into the oil. “Holy hell this is good.” I take another huge bite. Isaac is watching me eat with a huge smile.
“I wanted to make sure you were comfortable when you decided to come out for the first time.”
