Her. - Wolf love story

Chapter 9

"Why did you save me that afternoon ? and what were you doing at my school that day?"

I leaned and shifted back into the green booth. Blake took another sip of his latte gently placing the mug back onto the table. His blue eyes met mine and now instead of leaning back I find my body magnetically pulling me forward toward him.

" I was coming out of my car when i noticed you crossing the street, you didn't seem to be paying any  attention and there was a truck coming at you pretty fast, so i pushed you out of the way then you hit your head on the ground you were barley responsive"

okay but that still doesn't answer as to why he was even there to begin with

"So why were you at my school?"

He shifted slightly in his seat

"I was.. taking care of an issue"

"What about the night club? you just leave me a bed side note and next thing i know im almost getting a heart attack trying to get into a cab you just pop up out of nowhere."

"I have a cousin who shares the club with me. I help him promote his business as he assists me with mine. I walked out side with a buddy of mine and noticed you getting into the cab..well your legs is what got my attention until i saw your face and i immediately recognized you."

A sly smirk appears on his face making my legs shake from under the booth. " I knew you had some questions"

"So what is it that you do?"

"I work in public relations and I own a night club about an hour and a half from here you may have heard of it, Lace & Silk" 

My eyebrow couldn't help but arch. I have definitely heard of this place. All these rich and famous people like to throw parties and host events there and even without all the famous faces, just as a club itself, it is one of the top elite clubs in the south west. A man like Blake I could see owning a sexy night club but it just still slightly caught me off guard. I was honestly hoping for a broker or lawyer. Erotic night club owner was my last guess.  

"You should come check it out sometime if you have never been there before "

"I have heard of it, you must have allot of envious men around you. You are basically working every mans dream job. Surrounded by practically naked women all night and day doing whatever you ask" emphasizing the whatever part . Blake is just smiling ear to ear im sure he must be thinking how right i am about this.

"How are you two doing with everything? would you like some boxes?"

Blake leaned forward to me

"How about dessert?"

Here I was.

Sitting across from this godly man who has saved my life, yet somehow we casually find our selves bumping into each other in one of the most biggest cities. He owns an erotic night club and im sure this waitress followed by half of this shop including baristas is praying we are not together. And here he is seductively asking me if i want dessert.

I couldn't help but wonder how a man so good looking and tempting on the outside cut down to perfection is patiently sitting under a glass lid displayed for the world to see. Waiting for someone to  walk by, and admire the beauty.

Wanting.. craving.. tempting.

Am I just another customer walking by the display? Do I be the bigger person and try to convince myself its unhealthy ? or do i take a fork and dig right in..

"No thanks i actually should be getting back"  I chose my health.

Before i would have just indulged and probably beg for seconds or even thirds of him. Even the sweetest things in the world can be the deadliest. And unfortunately for me i learned that the hard way. 

I finished the rest of my chai and gathered all my things in my messanger bag and started getting up and out the booth of temptation. I didn't even give Blake a chance to say anything as my head was going a in all different directions. As i was reaching the door the first waitress who greeted us was back at her post.

"Thank you for coming enjoy your afternoon"

"Thanks"

I pulled open the door to hear that same jingle go off as i walked out of the shop. The sun still out but you can tell the day is slowly but surly coming to an end. I pulled out my beanie and cigarettes searching for my lighter, a light was flicked and lit my cigarette and the lighter went right back into Blakes pocket.

"You smoke?"

"I occasionally like my cigars but i don't always smoke, just handy to always have a lighter" 

"Thanks again"

I turned around to start walking back down the strip to my car but before i even got a foot away tingles filled my whole arm making my footing come to an abrupt halt. I turned to see a very sad Blake searching my eyes for an answer to an unasked question.

"Was it something i said?"

"No i just have to get some things done i didn't think i would have been out this long today" i try to sound as bland and casual as possible. Blake just kept locked eye contact with me.

"Please Jordyn i was enjoying our time if it was something i said or did i--"

"honestly it's okay, i just have allot i need to get done"

As i turned back around and started my journey i noticed Blake still walking next to me. Closely side by side. I know deep down that I don't even want to him to leave. But at the same time I don't want my feelings to become so dependant for his touch.

We walked past all the different stores on the strip. Some closing up shop pretty early. Workers  holding up there closed signs and locking the massive gates up behind there glass doors. The sun cascading off the buildings as it was slowly setting was magnificent to say the very least.

I took a deep breath in smelling the air and baked goods coming from Louie's Bakery at the end of the corner. Im going to miss this city i quietly said to myself. Still feeling the heat off of Blake as we continue our walk. I saw my car getting bigger in the distance, as we got closer to it. We we were a comfortable quite as we were both looking around at the closing day of the city life.

"So you never told me what you thought about my note?"
