Chapter 14

Jessica stared at her reflection in the full length mirror in her bedroom wondering if it was too much. She’d changed three times since waking up this morning, trying to find the perfect attire that made her look pretty but not sexy or desperate.

At first she’d chosen a low cut black dress that complemented her curvy hips and long legs, but found it too dressy for a lunch date. It was more an evening gown than a casual dress.

Then she went the other extreme by wearing yoga pants, a black T-shirt, and running shoes. She looked like she was heading out for her tri-weekly run instead of touring the city.

On her third attempt she put on black linen capris with a sleeveless red blouse that tied in the back and high heel black pumps.

She and Vincent would be doing a lot of walking and sightseeing. High heel pumps were hardly the way to go.

She kicked them off, walked over to her closet searching for a comfortable pair of flat ballerina shoes when the doorbell rang.

Thinking it was Jason, she stormed to the front door. He had left a message on her phone that he wanted to pass by to talk today.

Swinging the door open, she said in a firm tone, “I texted you not to come over. I have things to do today!”

A surprized and disappointed looking Vincent stood at the door. “I’m sorry. I didn’t get your text message.”

She cupped her cheeks in embarrassment. She gulped her breath. “I am so sorry. I thought you were someone else. You’re early.”

He glanced at his watch. “Yeah, I know I said I’d be here at noon, but my meeting ended early.” He motioned toward the hallway. “I can come back in half an hour if you’d like.”

She gently grabbed his forearm before he could pivot his body toward the left side of the hallway. “No, that’s okay. I just need to put on my shoes and I’m ready.” She waved behind her. “Want to come in to wait?”

He shook his head, he furrowed his thick eyebrows. “No, that’s okay. I’ll wait out here.” He seemed preoccupied. Jessica wondered what was bothering him. Did he regret inviting her out? It wasn’t a date, really, so he didn’t have to worry she would get the wrong idea by it.

“I’ll just be a minute,” she said not knowing what else to say. She walked away to her bedroom, her mind churning with reasons why she should cancel the tour.

When she got back, Vincent didn’t seem to hear her approach. He was looking keenly at his cell phone screen. She said, “Okay, I’m ready to go.”

He didn’t hear her. She coughed audibly. He tore his gaze away from his phone and smiled at her. “Sorry, I didn’t realize you were there.”

She gave him an inquisitive look. “Is this a bad time? Would you like to reschedule your tour for tomorrow?”

Frowning, he shook his head. “No, my flight back is at seven this evening.”

“If you’ve got more important things to do before you leave, that’s fine Vincent.
