Falling For A Stranger

1.) The first touch

"Hey! Wait!" I yell hailing a taxi. It slows down beside me and the front window roles down.

"Do you need to be there immediately? I already have someone in the back." The driver asks.

"No." I say, I had no where else to be and I open the back door, there's a handsome man. His skin is toned to perfection, considering its the middle of December. He has large blue eyes and slick black hair. Cut short, combed to the side. He wears a grey suit with a red tie hanging loosely from his neck.

"Hello.." I say nervously.

"Hello my dame." Omg his ascent... He looks up from his laptop and smiles. He is perfection I think to myself. I stare a bit too long.

He clears his throat. "I'm jack. Jack Loward." He says with a small smile.

I smile back. "I'm Clare. Clare Kessler, its very nice to meet you Jack."

"You as well Clare." He reaches out his hand. I take it willingly and get a bit closer to him. He smells of cigars and leather. He releases my hand and goes back to work. I watch him, I hope he doesn't notice.

"Where are you headed?" The driver askes. I break from my trance.

"24th and Biggs, the Marriott hotel." I say.

"That's where I'm going." Jack say casually. "Perhaps we could get a drink at the bar later?" He askes. I scream "yes!!" Internaly.

"Sure." I say casually. He smiles at me and looks back down at his laptop, hits the power button and closes the screen as we pull up to the hotel. I open my side and he climbs out behind me, running in front of me to get the door of the hotel.

I walk to the front desk. "Clare Kessler." I say to the lady at the front desk. Jack enters the elevator and holds the door from closing.

"Floor 7, Room 15." She says. "Here's the key and WiFi password, the free food and drinks begin at 7:30 and end at 9. Please enjoy. If you have any questions ill be here." She says with a smile. I grab the paper card with the key and password.

"Thank you miss." I say and turn to the elevator and walk inside it.

"What floor?" Jack asks hitting the button for the 3rd floor. The elevator begins to climb.

" 7, please." I say. He hits the button and leans again the far wall until the elevator dings and the door opens.

"What time shall I meet you at your floor?" He asks holding the door so it doesn't shut on him.

"7:30." I say.

"Alright." he replies and disappears onto his floor. I release a breath and the elevator door closes.

When the door opens on my floor I look for my room. When I get to it I unlock it. It's a small room with white walls green carpet, a full size bed, a small fridge and a TV. The bath room is very small with white counters and a black tube and shower.

I look at my phone. 6:33 it reads. I have an hour to get ready.
