A Prince's Heart

Slow Dance

...RAVEN...

Does he work out? I could feel the muscle in his back as I had my arm loosely draped around his neck. Man, this is a nice ass suite too. Does that tag say Armani? Maybe I should be an architect so I can make bank like him. Why does he smell so damn edible? I can taste the way he smells, if that makes any sense. I took a deep breath so it wouldn't seem like I was flat out sniffing him.

His grip around my waist tightened, slightly sending a surge of butterflies through my stomach and causing me to smile into his shoulder.

"this is nice" he said in a low voice that was almost a whisper. I wasn't sure if he was talking to me or himself so I just nodded in agreement.

We danced to a few more songs before sitting back down. I know I'm probably wearing a stupid grin.

"So, you have my number, but I don't have yours." He said smoothly.

I completely forgot. He probably thinks I'm the most inconsiderate person ever.

"I can put it in your cell for you" I volunteered as he passed it over to me.

"thanks" he said while smiling. "so how about dessert?"

I want him for dessert!

"No thank you; I'm stuffed" I said lightly patting my stomach, causing a chuckle to leave his lips. I wonder what happened to Julissa's mom because if she dumped him, she's just dumb as hell.

Chris glanced at the time on his phone before frowning. "I didn't realize it was going on 11." He said signaling the waiter over and ordering a slice of triple chocolate cake and a slice of key lime pie and asking for the bill.

I smiled. "A midnight snack to go?"

"Actually, the key lime pie is for Asia as a thank you; It's her favorite. And the cake is for my angel...if she's been good."

Awwwww, he thinks of other people.

"A the desserts get here, we need to go because I have to relieve Asia. I don't want any problems with Dru." He said shaking his head.

"Who's Dru?" I asked curiously.

"My other best friend and Asia's husband." He explained.

Later the food came, he paid and we left for his office. When we got there he opened my door and assisted me out.

"Thank you for a lovely evening." He said bending over and kissing my hand.

"No thank you! I had a lot of fun" I bit my lip nervously as I awaited his next move. In my romance novels and on other dates I've been on, this is when he would kiss me goodnight. Believe me, I was all too excited.

BUT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN...bummer.

He walked to the driver's side of my Jag and opened the door for me to get in. I felt dumb, but maybe this is how a first date is supposed to be. Maybe he's a true gentleman.

I got situated in my car and he waited for me to drive off before I guess doing the same.
