When he arrived at our booth, I smiled up at him, trying not to let my gaze linger on his chest. "Hey! Would you mind if I join you?". His voice is deep, rich, and smooth like velvet. "Umm, you can't sit here. My friend will be here anytime soon" I replied.

He chuckled and said, "I think your friend will be busy for quite some time now."

I quickly looked in the direction he gestured with his index finger only to find Jenny lip-locked with her so-called old friend. She will pay for this, I concluded.

"Alright then, you may seat"

"Thank you" he said with a goofy smile on his face.

But what intrigued me was his jawline. It was chiseled and sharp, yet gentle at the same time. His cheeks were soft and warm and I felt a blush creeping onto my face. The way his lips parted slightly as he spoke to us must have done something to me. I am sure I must look completely crazy right now. He must think I am crazy as well.
As he sat down next to me, I felt an electric current run through my body which made goosebumps appear on my arms. My heart fluttered in my chest but I knew it was just because we were close. His fragrance was warm and welcoming and it invoked butterflies in my belly.

"Is there any particular reason you're sitting here?" I asked, ignoring his influence on me.

"I thought it would be more fitting for the two of us to have dinner together. Don't say no please" he pleaded.

He ordered some delicious steak and salad by the side. I have never eaten such tender steak before. It was delicious and well spiced. Cleaning my mouth with a napkin, I caught him looking at me weirdly. Then he said with a shy smile. "I swear you are the most adorable person ever".

I chuckled, "Why did you say that?"

"Umm, let's say I love watching you eat and I hope you will give me the chance to cook for you someday?"

"You are a chef?!"

" Yes, but not professional, as I have a business company I am running".

"That's impressive! Well, I love a man who can cook" I said abruptly.

'Why did I say that, oh my God' I thought. He then looked at me and said,

"My name is Derek Davenport, I am sorry, I should have introduced myself before the dinner"

"My name is Rebecca Black. It's nice to meet you Derek" I said.

He blushed. "Nice to meet you too Rebecca".

I could feel myself smiling at his cuteness. His eyes twinkled, reflecting the lights above us. I couldn't help noticing how gorgeous his eyes looked under the dim light. He seemed to catch me staring and said, "You are beautiful Rebecca"
"Haha thanks" I replied, feeling shy. I'm sure my cheeks are redder than a tomato right now. Why do I feel this way? What happened to me? Am I going insane? And why does it feel so right? As much as I want to deny it, my heart is beating faster, louder and with every passing moment, I feel myself getting closer to him. But I know it shouldn't be.

Derek grinned at me and took out his phone, handing it to me. Please let me have your contact. I would love to see you again. I gave him mine and we exchanged numbers. Then, Derek finished eating, he leaned over and whispered. "You know, I was thinking that maybe you might come back to my place tonight? I can prepare delicious dessert, just for you"

The air suddenly disappeared from the room. Was he asking me out on a date?! Did he see my attraction toward him? Suddenly I could see myself standing naked in front of Derek's bedroom door, but something inside me wanted to go back to his place, to spend some quality time with him. To hear his voice, to smell him, to feel his touch...

"What do you say?" he asked

"No string attached?" I asked

"If that's what you want?"

Then I looked over to where Jenny was with her date and she blew me a kiss. Then I smiled, looked at this gorgeous man sitting across from me, and said, "Let's go then". So we left immediately. I managed to send his bike's plate number to Jenny for security reasons as the wine I took began to make me a bit tipsy. Getting to his place, I realized he was like five to six blocks away from my penthouse. He also lives in a penthouse which means he is rich, but why the bike? I thought.

As he let me into his apartment, I was greeted with beautiful and artistic portraits on the wall. As I took a few steps further, I realized from the setting of his apartment, that he is a neat freak, he is into painting and vintage designs.

"Your place is beautiful" I commended him

He chuckled and closed the distance between us when said, "I love to be organized".

"Can I touch you?" he asked.

I was shocked by his question. I thought, 'it is too good to be true, but it's just for tonight and he is gone. I nodded in agreement, then he cupped my face with both his large palms and planted a kiss on my head. It felt nice. It's been such a long time since someone kissed me in such a sweet way. Not even my parents did that. He pulled away slowly, looking deep into my eyes. He ran his fingers through my hair making me shiver from the sudden contact and he said,"Let me make this night memorable for you"
