I spend the next three hours planning for the afternoon and evening. I’ve purchased tickets to a few of the best shows in town throughout the week. When I’m done, I feel good, but now I have to see if Kaitlyn will give me a chance.
By noon, I haven’t heard a word from her. With any other woman, I’d say fuck it and write her off. But this time, I can’t. I am inexplicably drawn to Kaitlyn. I don’t know what it is about her that keeps me entranced, that makes me want to make her happy. That makes me want to fix the hurt and betrayal I saw in her eyes when she turned away from me last night.
I pick up the hotel phone and redial her room. This time, it rings twice and then she picks up.
“Hello?” Her voice is soft and hesitant.
Relief washes over me. “Kaitlyn, it’s Elliott. I’m sorry, I should have never kept who I was from you. I’d like to make it up to you if you’ll let me.”
I swallow and clear my throat, “I know I misled you about who I am and for that, I apologize. I had hoped last night would be…different. I had hoped to get to know you first before I told you.” I must be honest with her. “To be honest, I just wanted to enjoy a night out with a beautiful woman.”
She’s still there. I can hear her breathing.
“Listen, I thought I could make it up to you. Take you out this afternoon to see a few of the sights. Please?”
“On one condition.”
“Name it.”
“You let me pay for this afternoon.”
That I can do. The shows, and I hope the rest of my plans, will be on me, but I can let her buy me ice cream at Ellis Island. “I’ll meet you in the lobby in an hour?”
“I can be ready in thirty minutes.”
My smile is wide. It’s going to be okay. I hope. “Thirty. Dress to walk, but pack a sexy dress for tonight.”
“What’s happening tonight?” Her suspicion is well founded, but I refuse to say a word. I can’t fathom the thought of scaring her off.
“Tonight is on me. Just pack for the night and include a sexy dress and shoes. Trust me.”
“Um, okay. So we’re not coming back here?”
“Not until very late.” Not until tomorrow, if I have my way.
“Okay.”
We hang up, and I rush through changing my clothes and calling my driver and my pilot to confirm the arrangements.
Kaitlyn is standing in the lobby when I arrive, dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, but with a small tote bag hanging from her shoulder. She looks stunning. My heart thumps in my chest, and my cock stands up, taking notice.
“Ready for an adventure?” I ask her as I approach.
She nods, a bashful smile playing on her lips.
Whatever has been going through her mind since last night, she’s giving me a chance.I’ll take it.
I lead her out of the hotel and towards the car, ready to enjoy the day ahead and make it up to her.
“Where are we going?” She asks.
I love holding her hand, so I take one in mine and try to look reassuring. “I thought we would visit some of the places I love best in this city. We can start with the Statue of Liberty and then head over to Ellis Island.”
She squeezes my fingers and follows me to the car waiting under the hotel entrance’s canopy.
As we drive past some of the most iconic landmarks of New York City, I point out stories and interesting facts about each. She seems amazed by all of it, and I love experiencing it through her fresh eyes.
Once we reach Liberty Island, we step onto a boat that will take us closer to The Statue of Liberty. Kaitlyn is mesmerized by its size and detailing. I can’t help but laugh in astonishment, watching her awe-struck face as she looks up at the towering monument before us. After exploring the area, we return to shore and then take a ferry over to Ellis Island, making sure to also stop at the gift shop, where she picks out a few souvenirs for her friends back home.
