Boudoir Secrets

Chapter 46

Tara shifted uncomfortably in her chair, wriggling because she was feeling guilty. She met a guy while searching for Kali and organised dinner. Why had she agreed?Instead of flirting with attractive men, she should be prowling the streets looking for her sister! He was so hot! When he asked her out, she told him about her plight and he brushed aside her worries with a simple, "You have to eat at some point." Tara knew he was right but it still didn't make it right.

He had programmed his number in her mobile telephone and told her to send him a message with a simple yes or no. That if she agreed, they would meet at a certain restaurant that would be pre-booked in his name. Apparently he hated eating alone and found eating in two to be far more enjoyable...

Her stomach growled and she rubbed it as she looked about for his face. How many days had passed since she had arrived in this city? When was the last time she ate? Actually, when was the last time she shared a meal with her sister? Tears threatened to fall and she swallowed hard, gulping on water from the complimentary glass on her table. How she missed Kali.

She noticed him as soon as he entered. He had a presence that caused everyone to pause and look. Handsome. Kali would like him too. They never shared boyfriends and now was not the time to start. It was merely a hopeful thought that if she found Kali soon, maybe they could fight for him. Tara tried to smile as he approached her table but instead was so choked up with guilt she just sat there staring at him through unshed tears.

"Let's order food first and we can talk later. How about a nice wine to help you relax?"

Tara nodded, not trusting herself to speak.
