I've been waiting

Chapter 6

Sabrina POV

My mind has gone blank and my throat is drier than the Sahara Desert. Mr Hottie's eyes never leave mine.

"Hi. I feel like I have seen your face before. Please tell me I have?" he asks me.

Opening and closing my mouth several times and nothing comes out. I feel like a fish outta water struggling to breathe. Luckily for me, Jayla notices my discomfort and speaks up for me.

"Sabrina here works at Jones' Grocery. Maybe you have seen her there before?"

I cannot take my eyes off of Michael's face, and I can see the whole time that Jayla was speaking he knew exactly where he had seen me before. His face was one that I could not forget. EVER. His stormy blue/green eyes, his round face, his strong jaw, and his perfectly white teeth when he smiles. Not to mention his dark brown bordering on black hair. He would be at least a good 6ft in height with a stocky build. Just picturing this perfect specimen in front of me makes me feel low in my belly, and I can't help but subconsciously rub my thighs together.

"Oh, yes, that is right. Can I buy you a drink, Sabrina"

Woah this man is seriously killing me with just his voice. I am so lost in his eyes and the way his Adam's apple keeps bobbing in his throat, that I clearly do not answer him. It takes Jayla to pinch my arm to bring me back to earth.

"Sabrina, the nice man has asked you what you were drinking. If you cannot answer him, I will, and I might even take him home for the night. I don't think Shane would have a problem sharing me with him either" Jayla says to me with a wink towards Michael.

"Oh, I am drinking jack and coke" I say shyly. Michael holds his hand out towards me and I slowly place mine in his. He helps me off the stool and places his hand on the small of my back, leading me to the bar.

"I looked for you on Monday once I had finished my meeting with your boss"

"Why would you do something like that for?"

Michael rubs the back of his neck before speaking to me again.

"Shit I don't normally get nervous but, damn, shit"

I giggle at Michael. Seeing him, all flustered makes me feel better about my shyness.

"I was hoping that you would like to go on a date with me?"

I cough and splutter on my own saliva. Thank god I didn't take a sip of my drink

"Why, why would you want to take me on a date?"

"Because I have not been able to get you out of my head since Monday. I also sorta knew you were gonna be here tonight, so I had to come down. Please say yes?"

My mind has gone blank. This man has asked me on a date. I have never been on a date before. Oh my god, what if he expects something at the end of the night. I have never done that. Would I be a disappointment?

Michael is still looking at me waiting for my answer. He can probably tell that I am having a mental breakdown.

"Look Sabrina, if you don't want to, it is ok. I am a big boy, I can handle rejection"

"Oh no, It's not that I don't want to. I am more surprised that someone like you wants to take someone like me on a date. That's all"

"What do you mean someone like me? Sabrina, you are fucking gorgeous. I have had very naughty dreams about you for the past week. You have seriously taken my breath away. I wish I knew you years ago"

The look on his face is making it hard for me to concentrate on anything else. Pure unadulterated lust is shining from his eyes. I have never had anyone look at me like that. I am so used to having only hate and anger shown to me.

Before I can second guess myself, I blurt out "I'd love to go out with you"

My cheeks heat up as the blush creeps and settles in. Michael reaches a hand out to rub my cheek with his thumb.

"You are so cute when you blush. I actually think I am in love with it"

Just those words alone make me blush even harder. 'Is that even possible? To blush harder?'

I must look like a crazy person. Having internal conversations with myself. The whole time he never takes his eyes off me. He smiles that gorgeous smile that is taking over my brain.

"So how about tomorrow night. I'll pick you up at 7?" He says with a shy smile and a wink.

"Ahh yeah, that'll work. You know, I am so super busy and all" I start laughing after saying that. Michael laughs with me. He hands me his phone and tells me to punch in my number. I give him my number and make sure to add a love heart to my name. He sends me a quick message with his number.

He takes my hand and walks me back to the table with the girls. He leans down and places a soft and sweet kiss on my cheek.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Sabrina. Enjoy the rest of your night ladies" He says to the table with a wink and a small wave. He walks away but not before turning back towards me and blowing me a kiss. My face heats up hotter than it ever has before.
