Chapter Eleven

I managed to escape early Monday afternoon, and Tuesday he ended up stuck in a meeting so I was able to sneak off home without being caught, but I know my time avoiding him is coming to an end…and that’s not just because every message and email I receive from him tells me so.

Stepping out of the office on Wednesday afternoon ready for a trip to the post office with a load of letters, I sigh in frustration when I discover the rain is harder than I was expecting. Pulling my umbrella from my bag, I’m just about to step out into the torrential downpour when a car pulls into the driveway.

Even from this distance, I see his eyes light up and a smug smile twitch at his lips. I attempt to walk past him with my head held high, but his window is down by the time I get to him.

“Get in,” he demands.

“I’m good, thanks.”

“Erica.” His deep, gravelly voice hits me right between the legs. “You’re getting wet.”

“It’s fine. I quite like it.” His eyes glisten in delight, and I chastise myself for egging him on.

“I can put an end to that. Get in.”

“I’m sure you’ve got plenty of work to do.” I take another step, but his arm flies out and grabs mine.

“Nothing that's more important than you.”

I look back at him. Our eyes meet and my resolve to stay away from him weakens.

“Fine, just drop me at the post office. It’s right next to the tube station for me to get home.”

“Just get in.”

Following orders this time, I quickly make my way around to the passenger door and slide in once I’ve closed my umbrella.

“See, it wasn’t that hard, was it?”

The second I shut the door, the tension between us makes it hard to breathe. The last time I was alone with him, I was bent over the arm of his sofa.

“So…” I say, tapping my hand against my thigh, not really knowing if I should be making small talk or what.

“Why’d you run?”

My head snaps over to his, my eyes wide with shock that he’s diving straight into the issue.

“I…uh…got what I came for?” I don’t mean it to come out as a question, but the squeak in my voice makes it sound that way.

“You really expect me to believe you made the effort to come to my flat just for that?”

“Of course. That’s what a booty call is, right?”

“If you say so.”

Silence descends, but it’s only a few moments later when he’s pulling into a parking spot right out the front of the post office.

“Thank you for the ride.”

“You’re more than welcome. I’m free for rides any day of the week.” I try my best to ignore the innuendo, but it’s easier said than done.

“I’ll…uh…see you tomorrow. Thanks.” Jumping from the car, I slam the door and run before he has the chance to say anything or stop me.

My heart pounds and my chest heaves like I’ve just run here as I stand in the queue, but that’s the effect his mere presence has on me.
