When I awoke this morning, I really just wanted to head over to the pastry shop, and demand a reason for her lack of appearance at the opening but in the end I ruled that out for fear of scaring her away. Of course I want to have complete control over the beauty but I can't come off as to assertive just yet. So, I did my usual morning routine, then got dressed in casual clothing and left the hotel.
When I came into the town yesterday, I saw a quaint little diner named 'Auntie May's Diner', and there is where I was headed to have my breakfast. As I walked inside, a woman who could be in her later 60's approached me with a big smile on her face.
"Good morning sugar, my name is Miss May, and how can I be of assistance to you this fine morning? ".
She asked me as she ushered me to a seat near the window.
"Good morning, breakfast and a coffee thank you".
I answered in my usual clipped tone as I took my seat remembering to smile with the older woman so that she knows that I'm not being rude. My tone can come off as harsh especially with my British accent.
"I'll get right on it".
She said and then walked towards the kitchen. Pulling my phone out of my pocket, I start going through my emails and responded to the more urgent ones while I wait for my food to arrive. Miss May comes back to bring me my coffee which I thank her for and then I'm back to answering even more emails. Lifting my coffee cup to my lips, I take a sip and I sigh in contentment at its perfect taste. I hear the door's bell jingle but I pay it no mind until I hear that sweet sexy voice and I look up and there she is, my nostrils flare as I take in her attire. The only thing that was running through my head when I saw her was that she is showing off too much skin in those shorts. I won't tolerate that and very soon she will get to know my likes and dislikes.
I watched her every move like a predator watching it's prey and I just can't get over how beautiful she is. Her skin is flawless and looks so smooth. My fingers twitch involuntarily with the need to touch her. I watch as she takes off her backpack and sits next to her adorable daughter while May fuses over the baby. I wasn't really paying attention to what she and May were talking about but what makes my heartbeat speed up was when she started to laugh. The sound of her laughter went straight to my core and I had bite my lip to keep myself from moaning aloud. Again, I can't seem to grasp why this woman has such a strong effect on me. She had yet to see me but then she turns and we made eye contact and I felt something stir inside of me.
I ignore the strange feeling and stare at her deeply, then I slowly got up and bring my coffee with me to her table.
"Might I?".
I asked but I didn't wait for her answer since I knew it would've been negative.
"What do you think you're doing?".
She asked me while I sipped my coffee and continued to stare at her. Placing the cup on the table, I leaned forward and folded my arms on the table with a slight smirk on my face.
"Since you didn't attend the opening, I've decided to have my breakfast with so that you can give me your excuse for not attending."
I told her and slowly let the smirk fall to seriousness. I watched as her eyes widened slightly and she started to nibble on her bottom lip. Leaning back in my seat, I tried my very best not to focus on that nervous action of hers because it was tempting me.
"I..I forgot about i-it, I'm so sorry but it was very last minute and plus I don't know you".
She explained after clearing her throat and sitting up straighter. I really do intimidate her and that is going to be my trump card. Her excuse was valid enough but in my head it pissed me off that she forgot about me so quickly but of course I maintained an indifferent expression.
"Ok I can take that, I am a complete stranger but now that I'm here why don't you get to know me. "
I stated to her and believe me it wasn't a request and she realized that also. I saw her nostrils flare a bit and I waited patiently to hear what excuse she was about to make next.
