I would bear my own heartbeat when he dropped the question. What was he expecting, dud be always expect any girl he
pregnant”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I sand plainly and then looked away
“Are you sure. Maya? Because I could have swom.”
“I am not pregnane” I cut in sharply, tired of him trying to guilt trip me hata schnitting something I wasn’t even sure about.
“I’m not pregnant,” I repeated, but this timar sofily. He smiled and nodded. “It’s fine. Delieve you”
He picked up the boule of wine and poured himself a glass, he looked up at me and gestured with his head if I wanted
ed him to pour use one.
“I’m okay” 1 said under my breath, I was already messed up with the way my day was going and I didn’t need any other thing to make it worse
Everything he had said wasn’t true, but I wasn’t a lie either. I dal feel something for him, but I wasn’t sure what it was, maple it was because I had seen him again after that might, when we slept together
No one had ever touched me like that before, the way he slid. The way he moved his hands through my skin, the feeling of his harness were things I still hadn’t forgotten, but all of those things, all of the feelings could be wrong and another wrong was what I couldn’t afford right now.
“Maya, are you there?” He asked, cutting through my thoughts. I looked at him and frowned. “How come you’re here with me, aren’t you the bow of a huge company and what if people see you here?”
He smiled and leaned forward. “That’s why you employ people, Maya, and besides I had to see you, I wasn’t lying when I said I haven’t done this for anyone before. I’m really serious about us”
“And if I get caught by paparazzi ir be your fault, because you picked this place.” He said playfully with a small chuckle.
I looked into his eyes and I could see how genuine he was, no one ever looked at me that way. I shook my head and shut my eyes quickly, trying not to be caught in what I perceived as a trap
I leaned forward and poured myself a drink. “Just so you know, I am not desperate, but seeing you come all the way here and whatever else you did. Tll give it a thought and let’s meet again.”
He paused, his face forming a thinking expression and then he smiled, clearly pleased at the offer.
“That sounds like a great idea, I hope it’s soon and when you’re ready just let me know and I’ll pick a better place where really have the best wines here.” He said with a playful smile on his ɓer

“Great.” I said sharply and quickly stood up. “Thank you” I said, even though I wasn’t really sure what I was thanking h
him for.
As I took a step towards the door, I felt his hand grabbing mine. “Maya,” he called softly ałąd I tumed around. For a moment our eyes met and it seemed like time stopped and it was just the two of us.
1 gulped and pulled my hand away, feeling a mix of emotions. “Is there something else you want to ask me?” I asked, trying to regain my
composure.
“At least let me drive you home.” He said softly. “It’s the least I can do”
I shook my head immediately, thinking of the chaos that could cause in the neighborhood and the questions from Bella if she finds out her boss and I fucked months ago!
“No! That’s not necessary. I can find my way?
“Okay, if not your house, at least let me drive you to the city where you could get a cab.” He said, clearly not giving up
“Fine” I muttered and turned around, expecting him to follow.
We walked out of the restaurant and I could feel multiple eyes in us, I was unconfortable but there was something else. Derrick was not like anyone Thad ever met, and despite all the fears I had and the thought of how badly it could go. I was drawn to him.
He opened the car door and I slipped in, wanting to hide my face from whoever was looking

The drive was silent as I kept checking my phone, even though I wasn’t expecting any messages. I had completely forgotten about the

disappointment carlier that day, but as we passed through the state house, the memories kicked in again.
I meal my head slightly to look at hirm and for the first time I took in detail what he actually looked like, his hand gripped the steering wheel tightly and I could see his veins jepoti
He has the most detailed nose and smelt like wealth, everything about his life seemed to be perfect and that was the opposite of my own life.
“I felt it in my wolf” This words echoed again through my mind. Lclosed my eyes and tried to shake off the thought, as it brought back the images of my first rejection, something I hadn’t really gotten over from.
I didit even feel anything, at least not what I felt for Hunter. I didn’t want to be hurt again, but there was little that 1 could do about that
“Urre is good”
softly, pointing at the Tas station,
Are you sure, I could take you to.
“To line here, really.” I said sharply, cunting him off. I had done that more times than I could court today and I felt bad for it.
“Thank you for the ride.” I said softly and then got our of the car.
“Maya” He called out again, I turned and looked at him. He had a serious look on his face, as though he was both pleading and commanding me at
the same tine
“Don’t keep me waiting.”
