CHAPTER FIVE
Once they were seated at the dim and rather cozy café, Heidi realized that she didn't know what to say. It was strange. She had had so many conversations with him in her mind over the past few weeks, but now when she sat in front of him, she didn't have any words in her at all.
For a few minutes, they could busy themselves with ordering hot drinks. When the waitress brought back her hot chocolate and his tea, however, a silence stretched out between them.
Heidi took a deep breath, ready to take the bull by the horns, but Jaque surprised her by speaking up first.
"I want to say that I'm sorry," he said. "Not just for what happened at the club tonight, but for what happened … between us months ago."
She looked up, startled at that. "Please don't take that back."
Jaque looked so shocked at her words that she hurried to explain herself.
"I … I don't regret what we did," she forced herself to say. "At all. It was … well, it was an amazing experience, and one that I am so glad that I got to share with someone who was as careful and kind as you were."
Jaque's smile was ghostly, but charming in a way that tore at her. There was a strange instinct in her to want that smile for herself, and she shook it away because it was sheer madness.
"I hear a but coming on," he murmured, sipping his tea.
"Why did you leave the next morning?" she asked bluntly. "That's what I want to know. Were you afraid that I would make a scene? Were you worried that I would … I don't know, try to blackmail you? You didn't sign your name on that note, and you didn't use mine either …"
Jaque covered his face with one hand for a moment before looking up again to meet her eyes. "I am going to try to be honest with you here, more honest than I was even with myself about that morning," he said.
"The truth is that when I woke up that morning, I was in a situation that I didn't understand at all, one that I had never been in, in my entire life."
At her slightly skeptical look, Jaque laughed ruefully. "Well, given what I learned that night, I am going to assume that your sympathy for 'I've never done it before' is going to be fairly low, and that is fine.
"No, what happened to me was that I was in a place where I had just made love to a beautiful woman, one who had given me more pleasure than I think I had ever had in my life."
"But wouldn't that make you want to stay?" Heidi blurted out. She winced, hearing how young and unworldly she sounded. However, it truly didn't make any sense to her. If two people were together and had a good time, why wouldn't they want that good time to continue?
"I did," he said earnestly, reaching across the table to take her hand.
