Chapter Thirteen

“Hey, Uncle Ben. Tell me you heard something about the land,” Nate said regarding land that he and his uncle had bid on. They had recently joined forces and started a property development company. This property would be their first purchase under the new venture. When his uncle started talking, Nate could barely hear him. “Hold on a sec.”

Music and conversations from the main dining room drifted in Nate’s direction, and he glanced around for a quieter spot. He headed around the corner and stopped near the restrooms.

“Okay, what did you say?”

“They didn’t accept our offer, nor did they counter, but it might be a blessing in disguise. I heard from a reliable source that the property on Fairway Lane is going on the market in a couple of weeks.”

“Wait. The one that overlooks California Golf Course?”

“That would be the one. It’ll only be five acres, but I’m thinking if we tweak our initial plans, it could work. I’ll see if I can get an appointment with the owner for next week sometime.”

“Sounds good. Just text me the…” Nate’s voice trailed off when the women’s bathroom door swung open. Angel stopped short, her surprised expression probably mirrored his. What were the chances of him running into her? A slow smile tilted her lips upward. “Sorry, Uncle Ben, I have to go, but text me the day and time and I’ll make myself available,” he said before ending the call.

“Hey, Nate. I was going to call you. Are we still on for tomorrow night?” Angel asked, catching him off guard when she quickly touched her lips to his.

“What the hell, Angel!” Nate snapped, stepping away as he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. The last thing he needed was to walk into the room to Liberty with another woman’s lipstick on his mouth.

“What?” The innocent expression on her face had him wondering if something was mentally wrong with the woman. She closed the gap between them. “I can’t kiss my man when I see him?”

“I’m not your man. Never have been. Never will be. What’s your problem? I’ve made it clear—I’m not interested.” At the moment, there was only one woman he was interested in, and she was sitting in a room, a few feet away, waiting on him.

“So, you’re telling me that you’re passing on all of this?” Her hands flowed down her body bringing attention to the way the short yellow sundress hugged her curvaceous body.

Nate could admit that she was a stunning woman, but he had never been the type of man to go for looks alone. He took the whole package into consideration.

He and Angel had met two months ago through mutual friends. At first, Nate thought she was nice and he was interested in getting to know her. After a few dates, that changed. She was possessive and clingy. When she began talking about marriage, he knew he had to cut all ties.

“Angel, clearly there’s a communication breakdown between us. We had a nice time, but there is no us.
