CHAPTER 14: Charlie

The way Chase kept looking at me was promising.

Rule #1 of Seduction: Make him notice you.

It was safe to say I'd accomplished that. Chase had hardly taken his eyes off me since picking me up this morning. Granted my hair had needed a little extra love today, so I'd been late. But my tardiness didn't seem to matter to him.

There was also the little fact that I'd delivered on my promise.

One of my goals had been to fix Chase.

After the first two games back, I'd suspected his performance on the field was tied to his mental state. Now, I had proof. When you took away the stress, pressure and doubt, Chase did awesome. His arm was healed. The beautiful thing was he'd proven that to himself without even realizing it. There was no reason he shouldn't or couldn't play exactly like he used to.

Chase was currently driving me to lunch as a thank you—his suggestion, not mine—which boded well for my other goal.

The kiss.

Rule #2 of Seduction: Hold his interest and let him come to you.

This sometimes required patience. Neither rule one nor two had been easy with Chase. He seemed to look right through every woman who approached him.

Good thing I was a hard person to ignore.

When he pulled into the parking lot of Village Pizza, I was pleasantly surprised. I had to give him props. It was a thoughtful choice since he knew I loved it.

"How'd you guess?" I said. "I've been craving this all week."

"So, you don't think it's too early for pizza?" he asked.

"Please. Anytime is a good time for pizza."

Chase shot me a grin. "Good…now, don't move and stay exactly where you are."

"What? Why?"

But Chase had already jumped out, rounded the front of the car, and come around to my side to get the door. He stood there, holding it open.

I blinked. "Was that really necessary?"

"I feel like it was."

"Well, thanks."

With a shrug, I got out and walked toward the building. Chase somehow got in front of me again to get the door.

As I walked past him, I said, "Alright, I get it. You're a gentleman. You don't have to impress me, you know."

He smiled. "Thought I already did that with my pitching."

"Confidence is a good look on you, O'Brien."

"Thanks," he said. "And isn't impressing you the whole point? I thought we were practicing."

I gave him a nod. "We are. I wanted to introduce something new if you're up for it."

"Sure, I am."

"Awesome. A little foreplay never hurt anyone," I said and saw his eyes widen.

"Foreplay?" he repeated.

"Yeah, it's like next-level flirting."

Looking to the hostess stand, I felt my face break into a big grin.

"Hey Delia," I said as the people in front of us were seated, and we moved to the front of the line. "How's life?"

"Busy," she said on a laugh. "But I can't complain. Good to see you, Charlie."

"You, too," I said. "Can we get a table for two, please? Preferably a booth if you have it."

"Sure, girl. Anything for you.
