Chapter Eight

Melanie went to open the door of Green’s silver Escalade and froze when he put his large hand on her bare upper thigh. He squeezed gently, drawing her attention to him and making moisture pool in the juncture of her thighs. “Umm, thanks for the ride home.”

“Melanie, let me take you somewhere else, somewhere nice to spend the rest of your birthday.” He glanced at the sport’s bar that her family owned and shook his head. “I can hear the music blaring out here. I know your apartment is above it. You aren’t getting any sleep with that going on.”

She couldn’t help but laugh. “Ah, this is the part where I offer to take you up and fuck you. I get it. My reputation precedes me.”

He tightened his grip on her thigh. “That’s not what I said.”

“But it’s what you meant.” The second she said it, she regretted it. “I’m sorry. You’re right. I’m tired and a bit grumpy. It’s been a long day.” She glanced at him, not wanting to tell him everything that had truly transpired. “A really long day. It doesn’t help that I woke up wanting it to be tomorrow either.”

“Why, wouldn’t you want it to be today, Melanie?” he asked, though something in his voice made her wonder if he already knew.

“It’s hard to explain, mostly because I’m not even sure why I do. I just know I wish this day could just fall off the calendar.” She rolled her eyes playfully even though she wanted to give into the urge to cry.

Green caressed her inner thigh. “Until I met you, this day in particular, was a dark one that I loathed, too. I’d spend it locked away from the rest of the world, drowning in my sorrows. You’ve made the day a hell of a lot brighter, Melanie.”

Confused, Melanie put her hand over his. “Umm, no offense, Green, but the mention of me and brighter days aren’t synonymous to most, so excuse me if I inquire as to why they are for you?”

A soft chuckle came from him. “You’re doing it again.”

“What?”

“Letting the fact you’re obviously a very intelligent young woman show through.”

Embarrassed, Melanie felt her cheeks reddening. She generally kept that part of herself private. No one would believe her anyway if she confessed to just how intelligent she truly was. They seemed to like putting her into a pre-done mold, where they assumed she was a walking, but empty-headed blonde. “Great, I can stand naked in front of an auditorium full of people and not break my stride. You comment on my having a brain and I want to crawl under the nearest rock.”

“Let me take you somewhere special, Melanie. When I suggested we leave the restaurant it was with the intention of giving you a special night to remember.” He tugged on her thigh gently. “And I don’t mean that in the way you think I do. So, don’t get upset with me.”

“You know what? I’d like that very much.” She laced her fingers through his and laughed.
