CHAPTER ELEVEN

Pleasure and relief flooded through Sky when Rory arrived at the Coffee Hut the following evening. He’d been pretty annoyed with her the evening before, and she wasn’t willing to bet on him turning up to escort her to his place. No excuses were offered though. Instead he waited patiently for her to finish her shift then informed her he would be making her lasagna and he’d got a bottle of wine to go with it.

They traveled by tube and she stood against him in the corner of the compartment looking into his eyes, savoring every moment.

She took great interest in looking around when they alighted at Notting Hill tube station. It was a ten minute walk from there to his house and there was plenty to look at. She’d never been to this part of London. It was different to where she lived. There were proper houses, like families lived there.

The best part was Rory held her hand as they walked along the pavement and it made her bubble inside. She had to suppress her smile.

“What is it?” he asked when he noticed.

“You’re holding my hand. I can’t help smiling.”

“You’re easily pleased.”

His Irish brogue rolled through her, making her feel happy just at the sound of his voice. “That I am,” she replied.

He laughed, but let go her hand and put his arm around her waist, pulling her tighter against him. She laughed too. It was too much fun.

“Here we are,” he announced, a few minutes later.

It was a neat terraced house with a small garden laid to lawn. A brick wall and wooden gate fronted it. The gate squeaked when Rory opened it for her, ushering her in.

“It’s nice.” She stared up at the windows. It was lovely compared to where she lived. “Where do you keep your motorcycle?”

“There’s a lane at the back of the properties, and there’s a lock up out back. Four of us share and we all have bikes. The lock up was a major draw.”

Sky watched as he unlocked the door. He used two keys on two separate locks, turning both at once. He really was security conscious. Why was that? Were those guys he was mixed up with into more than computer hacking? She kept her questions to herself. This was a date and she wanted to treasure it and not ruin it by talking about stuff he got irritated about. She’d learned her lesson on that score the night before.

Inside the house, he took her jacket, hanging it up on the end of the banisters. She peered about, trying to get a feel for his home.

“Have a look around. I’ll get started on the lasagna.”

Sky nodded, but her attention remained on him and she followed him into kitchen. He quickly got busy at the chopping board. She watched, enjoying just being able to drink him in. “As I recall your cooking efforts used to center around the sandwich toaster.”

“I’ve picked up a few extra skills since then.” He chopped an onion and threw it into a pan.
