Alex
* * *
Ididn’t think I’d ever had a woman flee from me before. This one had left me twice in one day.
By presenting myself on her territory I’d avoided the possibility of her running off again.
At least I hoped so.
As I looked at the angel in this tacky, grubby, God awful apartment I didn’t think I would blame her from running out of the place.
I expected somewhere in the city, or a little house in Spring Lands.
Not this, and not this part of town.
“Alex.” She said my name like she couldn’t believe I was here.
I supposed I would be shocked too if I were her, and if I was being honest with myself I had to admit that this whole looking for her was completely out of my character.
“Hey, angel, you going to let me in? Or, no?”
She stepped aside making way for me to walk into the tiny apartment.
Room.
This was no apartment, not at all. It was a room that reminded me of a prison cell but without the bars or metal wall.
“Baby, what are you doing in this place?” I couldn’t help it. I knew that came across as rude, and I was trying not to be rude or judgmental, but damn. “Is this really where you live?”
I looked back to her and found that she still had that perplexed expression on her face.
“What are you doing here?” she asked. Her voice sounded shaky.
“Looking for my PA, looking for my angel. Who would have thought they were one and the same being?” I chuckled but she didn’t seem to find it funny.
It was then that I hoped I hadn’t imposed by coming here. I got her address from Kayla’s files. The angel had filled out her new starter form before coming into the office this morning. I made good use of the info, even though I knew I shouldn’t have.
“I didn’t know who you were,” she replied.
“I didn’t know who you were either. Looks like the universe keeps throwing us together. Trust me you shouldn’t have left me this morning. We would have had a really, really good day together. We didn’t finish exploring your limits.”
I couldn’t help it. That was just me being me. Plus I liked to see her blush. That rose color that filled her cheeks actually encouraged me to continue with the teasing and flirting but I held back.
This was how I’d summed her up.
Relationship girl. Not a party girl who went out on a nightly basis looking for fun. Those were easy women that usually threw themselves at me.
This woman was not that. She was a challenge and like all challenges I’d ever been faced with I was reeled in like fish attracted to bait.
I liked challenges. It was that taste of adventure that lurked within me that made me want to conquer unchartered territory .
When I saw her in the club I thought she stood out amongst the sea of partygoers. She was the one who stood out to me.
The good girl.
I knew the difference.
