CHAPTER NINE

JUBILEE

Friday can’t come soon enough! Deciding to keep things casual, I go with comfortable jeans and another of my Miss shirts. Grand had seriously gotten me the entire collection. Or so it seems. I have around twenty of the shirts. I went with Miss Bold tonight and hope it will predict how the evening goes.

With DVD in hand, I head over to Nathan’s door right at seven. I had all day to psych myself up and when the door opens and I get a look at him, butterflies explode in my stomach. I could eat that man with a spoon. He is that damn tasty. It’s obvious he’s freshly showered, his damp hair falling over his forehead, making my fingers itch with the need to comb it back. In jeans and a simple green t-shirt, he suddenly looks approachable and cuddly.

“Hi, come on in,” he says, opening the door wider and ushering me in.

As I pass him, I get a snootful of a clean and crisp, soapy fragrance. The mad urge to bury my nose in his chest and just inhale almost overcomes me. I pray I’m not drooling, and none of my thoughts about getting him dirty show on my face. Then I get my first look at his place, stopping me in my tracks. All thoughts of getting down and dirty with Nathan fly right out of my head.

Our apartments have the same layout, and that’s where the similarities begin and end. My place I kept a mixture of Grand’s things with a few of my own tossed in, so it’s a hodgepodge and looks inviting, lived-in, and well, homey. Nathan’s place? I feel the overwhelming need to remove my shoes and wipe my feet as I take in all the white carpet. My eyes go from my worn sneakers to his bare feet. Immediately, I grab a shoe and tug it off.

Nathan’s hand shoots out, grabbing my arm to steady me as I wobble. “You don’t need to do that,” he says, his mouth curling up slightly in his version of a grin.

I shake my head. “I want to get invited back and I doubt that will happen if I trash your carpets.” Handing him the DVD, I plop down on the floor to finish removing my shoes, keeping my socks on. Thankfully, they don’t have holes. That would have been my luck.

“Can I get you a drink? I haven’t gotten the popcorn or snacks out yet,” he says, holding out a hand and helping me back to my feet.

“I can help with that,” I say. Reluctant to release his warm hand, I give a tug toward the kitchen, and he lets me lead the way. I’m positive he’s humoring me, but I don’t care. This is nice, and I’m getting a glimpse into his personality via his apartment.

Entering the kitchen, I change my mind. This can’t be him. Stark and sterile comes to mind. Stainless steel everywhere, which is fine. But the walls are a blah white and the counters boring gray granite with nothing on them.
