"Brian, what are you doing here?" I look at him as I hold on to my towel making sure it doesn't slip off my body. Not that it would totally be wrong.
"You left this in the car." He holds up my half working half beat up iPhone.
"Oh my god, thank you for bringing it back. I don't know how I forgot it. I haven't thought about it at all" I laugh taking it out of his hand, letting our fingers brush. Brian's eye rake over me, making me feel like this towel is invisible.
"Does it even work? It looks horrible" He frowns as his eyes fall back on the phone in my hand.
"Just busting with more insults, huh? I can't afford a new one. All I can do it keep it together and pay my bill" I shrug and he nods, scratching the top of his head "Sorry"
"It's okay. I know my phone is crap" I shrug.
We stand there not saying anything for a few seconds but Brian continues to look at me up and down. My face turns red from his attention. I bite my bottom lip. Looking at my lips, Brian clears his throat even though I'm sure it's not because something is stuck in it. Maybe he does want to eat me up. Well, let's go big bad wolf.
I can feel some kind of tension between us. Like he wants to say or do something, but won't. I wish he would. Deciding to break the awkward silence, I part my lips. "I guess I'll see you later, Brian. I am a bit indecent. I don't need any neighbors catching a glimpse" I flex my foot awkwardly, looking around.
All of a sudden Brian leans in taking my chin between his index finger and thumb giving me a soft peck in the lips, catching me completely off guard. My brain scrambles and I part my lips "I-I guess I'll touch...I mean see you later" Didn't I just say that?
Smirking at my fluster, he releases my chin "I surely hope to touch or see you later, AmberLynn."
I stand in the door way, still slightly wet from the shower and in other ways and watch him walk away knowing I would want nothing more than to have this man in my bed right now. Shaking the lustful thoughts, I close the door.
I sit back on the couch and go through my phone checking my texts and calls. No calls. Two texts.
Mom: hi sweetie hope you had a good day at work.
Amy: thanks for earlier at work. it was so embarrassing.
I sit the phone down and turn the tv, but I don't pay attention. I only think of Brian.
He was so extremely rude today though, but at least he apologized and gave me a ride home. How do I know he won't act like a jerk again? Maybe it was just something to clear his guilty conscious. I mean he did try to give me money. He probably thought it would make up for his actions. Money can't buy everything though. He was surely kind thought after picking me up. Not even the slightest hint of rudeness or arrogance. Maybe he was having a bad day too.
I really don't think he is my type though. Who am I kidding, I'm sure I'm not his type either.
So why did he kiss me? More guilt, possibly?
Before I could read too far between the lines, my phone buzzes next to me. I look down and my eyes get big. Is he serious?!
Mr. Stevens: I took the liberty of putting my number in your phone and vice versa. I hope you don't mind.
Wow. That's all I could think.
I stare at the texts trying to figure out what to send back.
Me: well Mr. Stevens you could have just asked for my number in the car but no I don't mind.
Mr. Stevens: I am fully aware of that now, AmberLynn. I hope I didn't surprise you too much with the kiss. I couldn't help myself. Your lips looked so...Mmm
My body was screaming on the inside. I can't believe this man is into me. I'm a waitress and he is obviously very wealthy. Very straightforward too.
I didn't know what to text back.
Me: I was a little taken back by it. I wasn't expecting it. I didn't even think I was your type.
Mr. Stevens: you aren't my type but I feel something about you.
Me: ....oh. I don't know what to say.
Mr.Stevens: I want to be there to kiss you again. I wanted to rip that towel off of you.
I stared at the text for 5 minutes picturing it in my head. Mmm. I caress my thigh thinking about it.
Me: I'm not kissing you till I get to know you. we are practically still strangers. I don't know how old you are or what you do for a living.
Mr. Stevens: I'm 28 and I work in business. I own a few docks in Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi along with a few business around the Florida area.
Me: oh that's really nice. I'm 21 and I'm a waitress. not as exciting as your career. lol
Mr.Stevens: I don't care that you're a waitress.
Me: well you seem to treat waitresses pretty crappy. and you talked about my accent. which I don't appreciate.
Mr.Stevens: & I apologized for the way I acted. but I am very sorry for talking about your accent. I actually like it a lot.
I blush at the text. He likes my accent.
I look over at the clock at its 1:30am. s**t, I have to get some sleep. I have work tomorrow.
I prepare for bed still texting Brian. He seems like a very nice person and I find myself become more attracted to him but I still don't know if I can trust him.
Me: well Brian it is getting late and I have to work in the morning. I should be sleep.
Mr.Stevens: I look forward to taking to you tomorrow Amber. Please don't keep a gentleman waiting all day. I'm never too busy to text a beautiful young lady.
Me: I will make sure I text or call you. :) it was really nice meeting you Brian. you are definitely not an asshole. Goodnight
Mr.Stevens: oh I can definitely be a bit of an asshole from time to time. goodnight.
I crawl in bed and attempt to sleep, but all I do is toss and turn. I've never been one to get a full 8 hours of sleep but tonight it's worse. I can't stop thinking about Brian.
What have I gotten myself into?
