Chapter 15

Laney

Laney spent a good amount of time getting ready. She wanted to make an impression on Josh, so she carefully chose her outfit for the evening—a cute little yellow sundress. It fit beautifully, accentuated her tan, and showed a little cleavage. Finishing off the ensemble was a necklace, a solitary diamond her mother had given her for her twenty-fifth birthday. It was simple but elegant.

She wasn’t sure she was ready to take her relationship with Josh to the next level. Things had been going well, but she was still reluctant to get past her first impression of him. There were definitely some red flags where his possessiveness was concerned.

Lately, she’d enjoyed his company and the discussions they had together. The conversation was like nothing she had ever experienced. Josh was intellectual and challenged her. She didn’t want to mess that up by moving too quickly into a sexual relationship. But, man, he’s just so hot!

The thought of Josh got her blood flowing. The way he kissed her made her knees weak and her body melt. She loved the feel of his touch and embrace. Maybe she was ready.

She lit candles around the apartment to provide the optimal lighting for a romantic evening. When the sun did start to go down, the candles would set the right mood and provide some very nice ambiance.

Laney grabbed her iPod and tapped on the Pandora app. She chose the Maroon 5 station. The songs would be mellow and provide the right ambiance without going over the top. It was just what she was looking for.

She took a quick look around and was pleased with the mood she’d created. One of her favorite songs, “Not Over You” by Gavin DeGraw, came on the radio and she began singing aloud.

Her singing was interrupted by a knock on her door. “As usual, he’s early.” Laney smiled as she opened the door and her jaw dropped at the sight standing before her. Her whole intention had been to knock Josh off his feet, but somehow once again he’d turned the tables.

He was wearing black slacks with a white button-up shirt that had the top two buttons unfastened, optimal for showing off his tan. Over the top he had a matching black suit jacket. Of course, he was holding a dozen red roses. What is it with this guy and flowers?

“Are you going to let me in or are we going to keep standing here while you stare at me with googly eyes?”

“Oh geez. I’m sorry. Come on in.” Flustered, Laney moved aside for him to enter.

He held out the roses for her.

“These are beautiful! Thank you.” She took a deep breath as she took them in her hands.

“They aren’t half as lovely as you are tonight. You look stunning in that dress.”

“Thank you. You don’t look half bad yourself.” Laney smiled and gave Josh a peck on the cheek.

“I figured by the look on your face that you were either very pleased or appalled. I’m glad you like what you see.
