The Prettiest Woman - Page 22

“Feisty. I like it.”

“Good, there is plenty more where that comes from but I’m not mean.”

“I didn’t think that you were.”

I blushed slightly. I couldn’t believe that I was out with him. My life had taken an interesting turn and I was looking forward to the rest of my night. I also loved his confidence; it was sexy.

We arrived downtown and pulled up to the John Hancock building. I’d never been to this kind of restaurant, but I’d heard of it. I was super excited because the Signature Room was famous. He helped me out of the car and the attendant took his car away.

“Have you ever been here before?” He asked.

“I hate to admit it, but I haven’t.”

“I was hoping that was the case. I really wanted to impress you.” he said sheepishly.

“Are you faking like you’re shy?” I asked as we got onto the elevator.

“I’m not faking. I’m always nervous around a beautiful woman that I like.”

“Is that so?”

“It is.”

I wasn’t going to believe him until I looked at his face. His face was slightly flushed and his smile twitched a bit. He was nervous! It was so cute that I couldn’t resist the urge to kiss him on his dimpled cheek. “There’s no need to be nervous. We’re going to have a good time.”

“That’s the p

lan. But you know, I hate uneven numbers. If you’re going to kiss me on one side then you’ve got to kiss the other. You wouldn’t want my left cheek getting jealous would you?”

“No, I suppose we couldn’t have that.”

He turned his face and I kissed him lightly on the other side. His face turned towards me and I was scared that he was going to kiss me on the lips but at the same time, I wanted him to. The chemistry between us was electric; he took a look at my lips, shook his head slightly and pulled away.

Was something wrong? I was being silly. One minute I didn’t want him to kiss me, then the next I was disappointed that he didn’t.

“I can see that you’re going to be trouble already. You’re dangerous.”

I smiled as we stepped off the elevator. Jessica was right; he did want to rip my clothes off.

We walked to the hostess and she smiled at the both of us, “Hello, table for two?”

“Yes we have reservations.” Vincent said.

“Great! What’s your last name?”

“Caruso.”

“Okay.” she replied as she checked the system, “Follow me please.”

We followed her to the far end of the restaurant and my breath was taken away. We had a corner table. Under any other circumstances that would have sucked because I hated being in the corner. But this view allowed us to see the city from two different angles. It was amazing and I couldn’t get enough of seeing my city at night from so high.

“Coming here was worth it.” he said.

“Why is that?”

“Just to see that look of wonder on your face, it’s gorgeous. I would want to show you new things all the time if I get to see that look.”

“So you like showing women new things?”
