Her gaze wandered from his hand to his face. She nibbled her lip and suddenly stood. “Get me out of here,” she said.
Taking her hand, he led her out of the bar. He took his cell phone out and sent a text to Wayne. They would deal with Andrew while he was spending time with Emily.
Once outside they ran toward the night. She was giggling. Her heels were hitting the pavement, and his heart pounded inside his chest.
He never brought a car or bike with him when he went out. This was their one and only getaway.
They circled several buildings and ran down an alleyway, which smelled awful.
After ten minutes of running he stopped, pressing her against the side of an Italian restaurant to catch their breaths.
“I can’t believe I just ran out on a date,” she said, resting her hands on her stomach.
The purple dress she wore molded to every curve. His cock answered to the call of her body. Her large breasts were pressed against the bodice, heaving up with her indrawn breaths. Tension coiled around them. He felt her gaze linger on him as her hands stroked his arm.
“He was an asshole. Dorothy and Wayne will figure it out.”
“I didn’t know the truth about him. I’d never have agreed to a date if I had known he was like that.” Her hand moved up his arm, caressing his muscles.
“Well, the night is still young, and we can do whatever the hell we want.”
“Then show me a good time, Guy Jensen.”
“Come on then.” He held her hand leading her away from the Italian restaurant they’d taken a quick respite next to. Guy kept walking with her close beside him. The heat from her body was doing things to his mind that was making it hard for him to focus.#p#分页标题#e#
“I have the worst taste in men,” she said, as they passed several people.
“What?” he asked, checking the street to make sure he was going the right way.
“There was Nathan, the controlling loser who cheated on me. I’m sure Dorothy has mentioned him before.”
“Nope. She’s not said a word about him.” Guy slowed his pace hoping she’d confide in him.
“I was in love with him. He was a good guy. At least, I thought he was a good guy. He asked me to quit my job, and I did. I moved in with him, and everything was going fine apart from the snide comments about my weight or anything else.” Her hand was loose within his, and he felt her tighten her grip before she continued on. “I went out one day, getting some groceries I think. He was screwing some blonde in our bed.” She laughed. “I can’t believe I wasted time on the jerk. Thankfully I hadn’t sold my apartment. I got out of there as fast as I could, and we’ve been over ever since.”
He stopped before he headed to the place he was going to take her to.
“You’re free of him. You can date whoever you want, and we’re going to have some fun. Not adult fun but just some fun. I refuse to accept your frown. You’ll be smiling and laughing, understood?” he said.
“I’m nervous now.”
Pulling her into the place for fun, he saw her frown at all the glowing machines. They were in a games place that had slot machines, games with guns, balls, and everything to make a young kid, or a big kid, happy.
“You brought me to a gambling place?” she asked, folding her arms.
“What did I tell you? No frowning.” He took the lead going to one of his favorite games as a child. Grabbing the gun, he handed it to her. She stuck out like a sore thumb in her purple cocktail dress. “Shoot at the bad guys, partner.”
Inserting the money inside the machine, he watched it start up.
“Guy, I’m not a child anymore.”
“There’s a kid inside us all the time. Have fun, Em. You’ve been living too long being so serious.” Raising the gun, he fired it. “I’m going to continue living my life. Come on, fire!”
He started shooting at the enemy. Out of the corner of his eye he saw her fighting with herself. Guy played waiting for her to make a choice. She could be happy with him. He knew it deep down inside himself. There was a part of Emily begging to be free.
“What the hell?” she said, aiming the gun at the screen. Smiling, they played together fighting off the enemy. In no time at all she was laughing.
When they won, he raised his hand, and she high-fived him. He’d never brought anyone to his favorite place before. This is where he came to gather inspiration by letting go completely of everything he thought he knew about himself and life.
Once they finished on the gun game he led her over to the air hockey. He watched her lean forward hitting the puck back to him. She was getting right into the game, and he was growing distracted by her full curves on display.
