The St Patrick Series Book #3: Twin Trouble

Chapter 6: Be Patient

Dani's POV
I have never had a boyfriend before. I have no idea how relationships work. I don't know anything about dates and sleeping over at a man's house. I would have made the assumption that we will talk all night had he not been blunt about his expectations. He wants us to make love. Considering that this is my first time with him, I have to wonder what he did with Izzy that was so promising to assure him that intimacy can happen this soon?

I wouldn't get here that fast!

But Izzy gives off a loose vibe. He would have been with her that night at the club.

"Are you all right?" He called out to me.

We had a great dinner and now he wants me to stay. He told me I can look for something to wear in his closet. All I'm staring at is absolute order. Everything is color coded. Not a single item is out of place. He is really a military man. Anna was right about him. He's neat. I ran my fingers over the glass box that displays the high end watches. This man is also wealthy. I wonder if Izzy has seen this closet. She's a thief. She will probably steal from him. Sometimes she steaks to make money but sometimes she does it for the thrill.

I moved past the watches to his clothes. I felt the cottons and crisp lines. All the clothes have his scent. I can drown in it. What should I wear?

Shirts are a common option. I got out of my clothes, wondering how much I should remove. Should I be naked under his shirt or is that too much? Izzy wouldn't even wear the shirt. I chose to keep my bra and underwear on when I picked the blue shirt. It smells just like him and it feels soft against my skin. He opened the closet door slightly, choosing not to come in.

"Daniella, are you okay?"

"Yes." I presented myself. "Is this okay?"

"It's more than okay." He smiled. "I could get used to this."

"Me wearing your shirt?"

"You living here. Think about it." He is moving like lightning. Again, Izzy would take this opportunity in a heartbeat. I don't want to rush. I want to enjoy this, the whole process of falling in love.

I placed my hand in his. He stole a kiss from my lips. I have been kissed one too many times since we met at the St Patrick Group. In each kiss, there's an expression of affection from him. It's perfect.

We sat on the glamorous living room with soft music playing in the background. He put a glass of wine in my hand and he is drinking something different. The view of the New York skyline through the ceiling to floor windows is breathtaking. It's almost unbelievable. These are the kind of views that money buys. My view is the brick of the neighbors house.

"Tell me something about yourself." He sat close to me with his arm over my shoulder.

"What is there to say?" I chuckled. My biggest fear is when the St Patrick Group will look into me. I have spent time building a strong cover and it better hold. I wouldn't want Bruce to know the real me. He will back away as fast as he did when he found out my name is Dani. If that happens, it will not break my heart but crash it.

In the cover I have made for myself, my name is Daniella Wu. I replaced my father's name with my mother's early on in life. I didn't see a point to ever use his name. Izzy uses his name. In my cover, I'm twenty one. I work at a cafe and I'm an only child. What did Izzy tell Bruce other than we are dirt poor? I really hope she didn't say something I wouldn't say.

"What do you like to do?"

"I love to read... mostly the classics."

"What are you reading now?" He leaned closer to me.
