Natalie was so embarrassed, she'd been daydreaming and had almost gotten hit by a car. She made sure to pay extra attention at every crosswalk and arrived home safe and sound. Paying such close attention to the sidewalk and the lights caused her to miss the fact that she was now being followed. The car that had almost run her over made a hasty last minute turn and was now trailing behind her.
Arriving at her apartment Natalie replayed the weird day she'd just had. The worst part being that she had forgotten to stop on the way home to pick up groceries, now she had nothing to eat for supper.
Even though it was mid February and pleasant enough for a dress in the day, it was too chilly in the evenings to not want to change out of her current outfit. After a quick shower and a change of clothes Natalie grabbed an apple she found in the bottom of her fridge and set off for the grocery store.
Cooper knew as soon as he saw the woman in the street that he had to know who she was. When he jumped back in his car he instructed his driver to follow the woman. They followed her for a few blocks before she finally stopped and entered an apartment building.
Hoping that she didn't live in this shitty looking building he pulled out his phone and texted off the address to Brian, a lackey of his.
Cooper: 224 Kingston place. Redhead.
Knowing that Brian would understand he was to find the information Cooper was looking for, Cooper put his phone down and relaxed in his seat expecting a long wait.
Fifteen minutes later Cooper received an e-mail from Brian, apparently there were two redheads in the building. Quickly dismissing the first one from her picture, he was left with the one he was after. Cooper now knew everything about her.
"Natalie Grace Carver" Cooper mouthed almost silently.
After another fifteen minutes Cooper was surprised to see Natalie leave the building. She looked more prefect than he remembered. He directed his driver to tail her again. Coopers anticipation to speak to her grew as his imagination ran wild. He couldn't wait to have her. Fortunately her short walk ended at the grocery mart a few blocks away.
He got out of his car and followed the beautiful woman into the store. She picked up a basket so he do too. She walked up and down every isle so he did too. Finally he had teased himself long enough, he had to talk to her.
"Excuse me?" Cooper said to the woman he had been following.
"Oh, sorry." She quietly apologized, sliding over, assuming she had been asked to move out of the way.
"No, actually I should be apologizing to you." Reaching out to gently turn Natalie by the shoulder, "I think I almost hit you with my car earlier." Trying his best to look a believable mix of guilty and embarrassed, Cooper savoured the feeling of his large hand on her small body.
"What? Oh my Goodness, no no. That was my fault, I'm so sorry!" Natalie rushed to apologize for earlier upon realizing that she recognized the man from the car in the street.
"I'm Cooper by the way." Finally taking his hand off of her shoulder and thrusting it in-front of her for a formal introduction, completely ignoring her apology.
"Natalie." She replied with a polite small and met his hand for a quick shake. "Funny how we ran into each other here."
"Yeah, funny. Let me take you out for supper. To say sorry."
"You really don't ha-" Cooper cut Natalie's rejection off, obviously not going to take no for an answer.
"Come on. I know the perfect place." Grabbing the half full basket from her with one hand and guiding her by the waist with the other, Cooper steered them towards the exit.
Not seeing any harm in the offer, Natalie let herself to be led out of the store and over to the mans car. Now that she was able to observe the vehicle without the fear of getting run over, Natalie saw that it was shiny, and looked brand new. Albeit, she kew nothing about cars, she could tell this one was expensive.
"I like your car ... it's very fancy"
Flashing an award winning smile, Cooper was pleased by the innocence of her compliment. Opening the car door like a gentleman, he was able to steal a great view of her ass as she slid into the seat. Closing the door behind her and walking to the opposite side of the vehicle Cooper took a moment to hide his excitement.
His breath hitched when got in the car and saw the sight of her. She looked so tiny and helpless just sitting there expectantly waiting for him. He knew in that moment he would have her.
"So tell me, Natalie, do you live around here?" They dove into small talk for the twenty-five minute drive.
That was the best twenty-five minutes of Coopers life. He started the drive by asking questions he knew the answers to, just to see if she would tell him the truth. Brian's detective work was spot on, everything was correct. Once his inquisition was over it was her turn to ask questions.
All of Coopers answers were ambiguous and half truths, but he never once lied to her. He felt a sense of thrill speaking with someone who had no idea who Cooper Grant was. He didn't meet many in his circle. He liked the idea of seeing how far to could go with the truth before he had to lie.
