Courtneys POV

" So tell me about this nothing that you couldn't say, "

I was surprised that he still wanted to know.

Moving my eyes away from his stare I look down at my lap tightening my grip on the clutch purse I held.

" I don't know if I can " I reply feeling uncertain "Sometimes it feels like it was real and maybe it wasn't...I can barely remember " I add turning towards the car window.

" Take us to Willowdown "

My eyes open up hearing Duncan order his driver to where he wants us to go.

" What are you doing? " I asked turning my attention to him as the car started moving " I figure if you're going to tell me something then I'd prefer us to be somewhere quiet, relaxed, and enjoy good wine 🍇 with a charcuterie board " explained Duncan smiling at me " wouldn't you agree? " he adds.

I was speechless. I thought he was just giving me a ride home but this is almost starting to turn into a date.

No way...there's no way this is a date?!

" So do you have a curfew I should know about? "

Coming out of my thoughts I listen to what he says...

" Just so that I don't bring you home too late "

Unable to resist I slowly smile before starting to lightly laugh followed by him.

Who would have thought Duncan had a sense of humour?

It didn't take long for us to arrive, when we entered the very fine and fancy bistro the owner and staff immediately set us up at a private table making sure we weren't disturbed.

I'm guessing he's a very important customer and gets the best service when he comes in, or most likely anywhere.

Duncan ordered a bottle of wine 🍷 for us along with the house special charcuterie he had mentioned earlier.

Once the wine arrived we got served and were told it wouldn't take long for the board.

I stared at the glass for a moment before finally picking it up, I couldn't help but admire how neat it looked.

" It's a nice colour isn't it "

Snapping out of my thoughts I look at Duncan who's smiling while holding his glass.

Clearing my throat I reply "Yes it's a really nice and very chic restaurant" looking around quickly.

To help ease my nerves I sip a bit of the wine.

" Wow...this is good " I breathed taking another sip.

" I'm glad you like it you looked nervous at the club and in the car," said Duncan keeping his gaze on me.

Pulling my glass away I stared back at him knowing well where this was going.

I'm not like this normally but then again I wasn't expecting to find out that the most eligible bachelor likes me, I feel thrown off a bit about all of it.

Sighing heavily I guess I should try talking to him.

" It must be obvious that I'm nervous; I wasn't expecting to see you or know that you like me " I explain recalling his confession " Mr.Stone I'm nothing...I'm just someone trying to get through life and make something of myself " I add sounding truthful.
