Chapter 14

Trevor

He told her 2:00 p.m., but he’d been so eager to see her, he arrived at 1:30. He pressed the doorbell and hoped she wasn’t bothered by his early arrival. When she opened the door to let him in, the sight of her snatched the air straight from his lungs. He considered her beautiful before but today, she was absolutely stunning, alluring and exuding luscious femininity that made the nerves in his hands twitch.

“Hey,” she said, smiling. “You’re early.”

Trevor swallowed the knot in his throat while feeling his heart accelerate. He didn’t know if it was her smile, her relaxed demeanor, her crinkly hair hanging loosely around her shoulders or the fact that this was the first time he’d seen her without glasses that had him in complete awe, raptured by the beauty of the shy girl he was slowly becoming addicted to. He found it amazing how different she looked without the glasses hiding her face. He could clearly see her dark brown eyes and smooth, mahogany skin – all her beautiful features like her evenly arched brows and the soft curl of her thick eyelashes. Even her burgundy, gloss-tinted lips looked fuller and enticing. Elsie had transformed into a goddess, and the absolute phenomenal thing about that was, she had no idea how beautiful she was.

“You can come in,” she told him, but he didn’t move.

“Trevor?”

He blinked, then watched her lips form into a wide smile.

“Come in,” she said again, stepping out of the way so he could do so.

“Thanks,” he said, stepping inside finally. He unbuttoned his coat, took off his hat and laid it on the backrest of one of the living room chairs.

“I’m just finishing up the food,” she told him.

Dang, he couldn’t find words. He just stared powerlessly taking in everything that was her. Was this the same woman?

Elsie glanced up at him. Another smile glowed beautifully on her face. “Why are you so quiet?”

“Uh…no reason. I was…um…”

“Don’t tell me you’re the nervous one now, Mr. Myerson.”

“No. Not at all.”

“Then I’ma tell you what you would tell me. Loosen up.”

A corner of his mouth lifted into a half smile. “Right. I would say that, wouldn’t I?”

“Yep. Anyway, make yourself at home.”

“Okay,” he said, and instead of getting comfortable on the sofa and watching the pre-game show, he joined her in the kitchen, nosying around. He lifted a sheet of aluminum foil to reveal a huge pan of cooked buffalo wings. “You must be inviting more people.”

She giggled. “No. Just us.”

“We’re going to eat all of these wings?”

“Maybe not all of them but close to it. I’ve seen the way you eat. Your appetite is ferocious.”

“Observant. That’s one of your strong qualities, Ms. Introvert.”

“It is. Sometimes I think I’m too observant. Like, right now, I’m wondering why you keep staring at my hair.”

Because I want to touch it, he thought then secured his hands inside of his pockets to resist the urge. “I’ve never seen you with your hair down.”

“I know. I usually make no effort with my hair, but I decided to wash and crimple it, just because.
