"Well if you think about it, you are indeed sexy," he said. "But anyone can be sexy after trying. In my eyes, if someone can pull off that appeal without even trying, then they're beautiful."
I stared at him in wonder.
"Who are you and where did you come from?" I asked.
"Ben, a lonely doctor from Richmond," he replied. "What about you?"
"Olivia, a nurse that has no permanent job," I said.
"Oh, you're a traveling nurse?" he asked.
"Well, yeah," I shrugged.
"Fly in, to Richmond sometime," he suggested. "I'll be sure to take good care of you."
"I don't doubt that" I said with a smile.
He was brilliant. We hadn't said much to each other about ourselves… then again what we discussed can’t be regarded as… much. I was drawn by his relaxing aura. I could tell he was hiding something…well, a lot of things, but it didn't seem like the red flags I'd actually worry about. I wanted more of him. His hand on my face had made me feel so safe and wanted.
“If it's just for tonight, then I don't mind,” I said to myself.
"Looks like they're done," he said as he got to his feet along with everyone else, "Thank you for your company."
I got up and held his arm, stopping him in his tracks.
He turned to look at me, "Are you in a hurry to go?"
It was the last day of the conference, and it was already around seven pm-ish.
"Back to my hotel," he said.
"Can I get you that drink?" I asked.
"I don't mind," he said with a gentle smile, "But my mother wants me home by nine."
"I promise."

I took him to one of the best pubs in London… in my own view.
"Do you drink often?" he asked.
"No, I'm usually here for the snooker," I replied.
"Snooker?"
"Pool or billiards," I explained as I pointed at the empty table with the balls.
"Oh, I see, are you very good?" he asked as he took off his coat.
I knew he had muscle bulk, but I didn't think it would be the kind that would look sexier with only a dress shirt. He pulled down his tie and removed the first button.
"I'm quite the beginner," I replied.
"Liar," he smirked. "Let's make a deal. I win, I pay for the drinks. You win, I'll do whatever you want."
Whatever I want?
