Chapter 4
Ryder’s pov
I saw the sexiest woman looking at me from across the street. I hurried to go talk to her, but she ran into the library. I wanted to go over there and introduce myself anyway, so this was the perfect time.
Maybe I could talk to the beautiful woman I had just seen. I wanted to know my neighbors. I was opening a club in this neighborhood. My father gave me as well as my brother’s money to invest in what we wanted.
He wasn’t happy about me starting a club. He feels that I have more potential than that. Maybe it’s because my younger brother Jacob followed in my father’s footsteps and became a lawyer.
I walked into the stuffy little library and saw the beautiful woman from before. She was a librarian? She does not fit in here at all. I said hello and she jumped. I didn’t mean to scare her. Great first impression I was making.
I couldn’t stop staring at her. She was incredibly sexy. When I went to leave, I kissed her hand. What this the 20’s? I made a complete fool of myself. Hopefully I get a chance to start over. She was defiantly someone I would love to get to know better. She didn’t seem too interested in me though. Maybe she had someone. There was no way a woman like her was single. I was always unlucky in love.
My last relationship ended when I caught my fiancée in bed with my best friend. I just walked out and never looked back. I didn’t want the house because it would only remind me of the pain. I moved into a small home far away from her. I have forgiven them both for that, but we don’t talk anymore.
It’s not the first time I have been cheated on. I dated a younger girl after that, and she left me. She ran off with some married man that was way older than her. The guy left his wife and kids for her. I would never do that, yet I always get hurt.
Maybe I should just give up on ever finding love. Besides I’ll be too busy with my new club. I need to stay away from one very sexy librarian otherwise I might just catch some feelings. I couldn’t be with someone I doubt I could ever trust anyone again after all I have been through.
Then again, she worked in a library and was so quiet, so she was different then the women I usually dated. Maybe she was worth giving a chance. I mean she works so close to me and I am sure I will end up seeing her again and I just couldn’t be rude. So, I need to be nice to her and maybe get to know her. Go from there.
