Chapter 8

My heart skipped a few beats, my whole body growing warm because he was here. Just his mere presence made me feel all these intense feelings that couldn’t compare to anything I’d felt with other men. I’d hoped he wouldn’t look around and see me, but I had no such luck because he didn’t even move from the door, searching around the restaurant for something... Until his eyes landed on me.

Damn. He moved toward our table, and the lack of surprise on his face told me he expected to see me here. He was looking for me.

“Good evening, Marissa,” he greeted me in his deep voice when he stopped next to our table. I’d missed his sensual voice.

He glanced at Jack with raised eyebrows, as if he couldn’t believe I was actually with someone like him. Then he scanned Jack’s suit, and I could discern the same reaction I’d had earlier. He didn’t like Jack’s taste in clothes either.

I didn’t bother with pleasantries. “What are you doing here?”

“I see that you don’t want to make things easy for me.”

“Why should I? You’re the one who disappeared off the face of the earth.”

Jack glanced at us, completely baffled with the sudden turn of events. “Guys? Do you know each other?”

I was close to rolling my eyes, wondering how more oblivious this guy could get.

“Obviously,” Daniel replied to him flatly, looking at him like he was a moron. “Look, we need to talk,” he told me. “I’m really sorry. I was a fool for not calling you sooner.”

“You think? Maybe I don’t want to talk with you now. And how did you know I was here?”

“I searched for you in the clinic, but you weren’t there. Luckily, I stumbled on your friend, Claire, in the hallways, and I asked her to tell me where I could find you.”

Ugh. Claire, that traitor. I couldn’t believe she’d actually told him my whereabouts, especially since she’d encouraged me to go on a date with Jack and give this dating thing a shot. I wouldn’t be surprised if Daniel’s looks helped her loosen her tongue. I needed to have a serious talk with her about this later.

“You didn’t have any right to ask her. You’re invading my privacy, and you clearly showed how you feel about what we had. Actually, we didn’t have anything, so you can turn around and leave.”

“I’m not going anywhere because we need to talk. I need you to listen to me. I have to explain some things to you.”

“I don’t need to listen to your explanations or anything. As I said, we’re nothing. So save your excuses for yourself.”

“Please, come with me, Marissa, and just let me explain, okay? If you still choose not to see me after that, I’ll respect that and leave you for good. You have my word.”

Jack didn’t say a word, growing more confused with each sentence exchanged between Daniel and I. I felt slightly ashamed that he had to witness this, angry that Daniel had to choose this moment to do this.
