Her view.

"What would you like to do today?" He smiles at me gently and I can't stop myself from smiling back at him. "I don't know." I shrug.
"You're new to London, yeah?"
"Yeah." I nod. "Anna and I are both new."
"Your friend Anna is lucky to have you. She's silly for leaving with Liam." He shakes his head.
"But it all ended up good though."
"True." His lips curl up at me. "At least we got to meet."
"You think that's a good thing?" I asks him.
"You were eyeing me up in the museum, so I'm pretty sure you think it's a good thing as well."
"I wasn't eyeing you up." I shake my head , my head flushing.
"Okay, you were just admiring my fine body."
"I was trying to see if you were one of the artists." I lie, and he laughs.
"Come, I'm going to take you to Oxford Street and then we can go to Soho and down Carnaby Street.
"Where?"
"The places with the cute shops." He grins. "So you can buy whatever you want."
"Oh, I don't need to shop." I bite my lower lip. I'm on a strict budget and I don't want to blow all my money during my first weeks in London.
"I don't know many women who don't like to shop."
"I'm sure you don't know many women with just a bit of cash either." I laugh and he gives me an odd look.

"Would you like me to take you on a shopping trip?"
"Oh God, no." I cringe and I shake my head. "I didn't tell you I was poor for sympathy or anything."
"I have money." He purses his lips together. "I can spend some on you if you want."
"No, no." I stammer, feeling embarrassed. "I don't want you to spend your money on me at all."
"Surprising." He pauses and turns around. I want to ask him what he means, but I'm too excited to spend the day with him that I ignore the warning bells going off in my head.

His view.

I don't sleep well. All I can think about is Cassidy and the way she kissed me back, so energetically and so sweet. My dreams are filled with images of her in my bed. On top of me, beside me, underneath me with her legs wrapped around my waist. I wake up hard at about 6 A.M. I'm annoyed that Cassidy got to me. I've never had dreams about women. I see the, sleep with them and then go on with my day. I don't have time for games and I'm not interested in a relationship.
I know that I should just go home. I've been staying at the hotel for the past couple of weeks while some renovations were being done on my house, but I know that I can't leave without seeing her. She got under my skin already. I jump out of bed and turn on the cold water.
"Get it together, Harry." I scrub my skin and allow the cold water to refresh me. I'm not going to let thi girl to get the better of me.

I leave the hotel and get to the corner and buy some coffees and pastries for Cassidy and Anna. I'm going to go to their room, give them some breakfast, get one last glance at Cassidy and then I'm going to leave. I just need one last glance at her. She's beautiful, but not the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. I'll be able to replace her easily. I can already think of 10 other girls who would be happy for my call.

I knock on the door, feeling good. Cassidy's no longer on my mind. And then she opens the door. She looks adorable with her messy hair and a face full of makeup. We exchange some words and I reach out to touch her face. I can't stop myself from touching her. She looks surprised and taken back by my touch. Her lower lip drops slightly and I can imagine her taking me in her mouth. I immediately feel myself growing hard. Get it together, Harry I mutter inwardly. I walk into the room and try to avoid looking at Cassidy. Something in me reacts too eagerly to her when she looks at me. Her brown eyes are so honest with their emotions that it unnerves me.
