SMART PHONE TROUBLE

Mr. Kincaid opened a door and went inside. Will lingered as though he waited for her.

When Lucy reached him, he spoke softly. “Did I mention how incredibly beautiful you look in that dress?” His eyes started on her face. Like a caress he slowly ran his eyes over her cheeks and hair before making their way down past her neck and the rounded collar of her dress that exposed a bit too much for Lucy’s tastes. When his eyes reached her feet they slowly began traveling back up. Heat radiated off her and her lips parted. Will continued speaking. “You’re not what I usually go for…”

That stopped her fuzzy feelings short and she clenched her hands around the phone, trying to crush it while her body shook with anger. Will came forward causing Lucy to back up until she reached the wall.

“What’s wrong, Lucy?” He leaned down, resting an arm against the wall above her head. His body held her captive. She felt as if fireworks were going off in her heart. It raced wildly and, in that moment, she wasn’t sure she would ever be able to catch her breath again. Will was so close she could smell a hint of lemon on his breath from the water he drank earlier.

She thought he might kiss her. Her first kiss. Did she want such an obvious rake to have the pleasure of her first kiss? As if to emphasize just how much of a rake he was, the phone Lucy held made the funny noise. Will had a text.

From one of his girlfriends. One of how many? She wanted to be the only woman her true love thought of. If Will had more than one girlfriend already, it seemed unlikely he might choose to only be with her.

Lucy huffed out a breath as she pushed past him. No, Will was definitely not the one. He was just the buffoon who would take her to her true love. That was all. She heard him chuckle and that made her blood boil. How dare he? No one laughed at her and got away with it.

“Have you played pool before, Lucy?” Mr. Kincaid asked as he took a cue from its holder on the wall.

“No, but we have a billiard room at our estate in Sothersby. My father and brother enjoy the game.” Her father thought billiard’s to be a man’s game and didn’t allow her to play, even though she wanted to.

“Would you like to try?” Mr. Kincaid offered her the cue in his hand.

Lucy watched the game many times and she did want to play, but first she wanted to discover the secrets of Will’s smart phone. “Not now. I’m going to try and win your bet.”

“Ha,” Will said, coming around the table and picking out a cue.

Mr. Kincaid shot Will an irritated glance. “If you change your mind, let me know.”

“I will, thank you.” Lucy, ever conscious of her manners, carefully sat on one of eight oversized leather chairs that lined the room.
