The Interrupted Lunch- Part 1
An interruption turns into something more
I sat down on a bench under a tree for shade because the sun was too hot. I was about to pull out my salad with a side of grilled chicken when someone sat down beside me.
“Hi, is it okay if I sit here?” A captivating man with piercing green eyes looked me.
My heart skipped a beat. Where was my brain?
When I found it again, I said, “Ummm, yeah, sure.”
Who was he? My body tingled from his nearness. He wore a blue knit top that showed off his muscular arms beautifully. He paired the top with light-washed denim jeans. He couldn’t be an employee here. Jeans weren’t allowed unless it was Casual Friday, and it was only Thursday.
It was Thursday, right? I glanced at my phone to double check. Gosh, what the hell was wrong with me?
“My name is Corey Hawkins, and I’ve seen you a few times here.” He didn’t have any lunch with him.
“You have?” I couldn’t eat because my stomach was twisting in strange ways. “Do you work here?”
“No, my uncle owns the company. I usually come once every six months or so. But I’ve made an effort to come more often, Sarah.” He emphasized the last sentence and looked at me like he could see the black lingerie I wore underneath my dress.
He knows my name. Of course he did, his uncle owned the place.
This gorgeous guy just interrupted my lunch and sent heat to my loins. I didn’t know what to say to him. I didn’t have to.
“Are you busy tonight?”
Holy shit.
A slow smile grew on my lips and warmth bloomed on my cheeks. “No.”
“Then let’s have dinner.” He took out his phone. “Let’s exchange numbers so I know where to pick you up.”
“Sounds like a plan.”
The rest of the day flew by as I anticipated my date with a gorgeous man. It had been six months since my last relationship ended and I was ready for something new.
