Eva

Spencer is so gorgeous I almost can’t stand to look directly at him. I’m pretty sure that I haven’t stopped blushing since I stepped out of my car. First he offered me his arm, and then his hand, and I was close enough to smell his spicy cologne, and it was all too much.

I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t know why I’m going out to dinner with him.

The first time I took his hand, I swear, my fingertips tingled.

Of course I knew he was hot the first time I met him, but then he stuck his foot in his mouth. It was his gentleness after I burst into tears that really made my heart get involved.

I’m not going to make a blanket statement like “all men are scum,” but let’s just say that if I did say something like that, I’d have plenty of data to back me up. The only man who I’ve ever trusted not to hurt me is my dad.

I think Dad would like Spencer.

I suddenly realize that I’ve been zoning out with my thoughts, just staring off into space. I shake my head a little and focus on the man across the table.

“Welcome back,” he said. “What were you thinking that had you so distracted?”

I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks. I’ve been trying really hard not to do anything that causes him to think of me as silly, but here I am spacing out and blushing when he calls me on it.

“It’s nothing,” I say, grabbing my pint glass of beer and taking a swig, just to have something to do.

“You don’t have to hide from me, Eva,” he says in that same gentle voice that he used when he talked to me in his office. It’s like he’s trying not to spook me. The thing is, it really does seem to calm me every time.

I relax my shoulders and he smiles at me as if I accomplished something important. And I know, right at that moment, that I want to keep making this man proud of me for the rest of my life.

And isn’t that a pickle to be in on a first date-that-might-not-actually-be-a-date?

I know that we’re setting ourselves up for a game that might go on for weeks or months. We might be looking for two entirely different things. I don’t do one night stands, and, if that’s what he’s looking for, I’ll save myself a lot of heartache by getting over him sooner rather than later.

I can’t bear the uncertainty, and I blurt out, “What are we doing here?”

Spencer looks startled. “We’re having dinner.”

I wave my hand over the table. “No, not dinner. You and me. Where is this going?”

He takes my hand and threads his fingers through mine. “I don’t know, baby, but I know where I’d like it to go. You’re an exceptional woman, and I’d like to take the time to get to know you better. We can take things at your pace. No rush, and no pressure.
