Chapter Nine

Dinner & A Proposal

Once we arrived in Los Angeles, it was a revelation. I hadn’t been to the city in two years but the more things changed, the more they also stayed the same. The smog level was tolerable but the ride from LAX, which literally sat in Escondido Beach’s ass, was slow and barely tolerable.

Laurel squealed like a little child while Faith bragged about how much she knew about the city now she’d made it her home base.

I half-listened, all the time, Kaz had grabbed my hand and held it tightly to his side.

“Something tells me tonight is the night,” I whispered to him so no one could be privy to our conversation. It was also one of the reasons why we choose a part of the Hummer limousine no one was occupying.

Kaz stared into my eyes for a long time with those gorgeous aquamarine irises. “I think we have waited long enough, don’t you think? However, if you’re still not ready then I understand—”

“No, that isn’t it at all. I am ready and I want it to be perfect for you too. I’m twenty-three years old and there is nothing virtuous about being a virgin unless my grandfather and mother wanted to sell me into white slavery,” I remarked in an offhand fashion which had him laughing out loud.

“Can I ask why you have never just slept with the first guy you thought was half-way decent just to get rid of it?”

“My mind doesn’t work that way, Kaz. You’re not perfect but you seem fucking perfect and if I had to give up my virginity—which is what I want to do tonight, with you—I couldn’t have picked a better guy.”

“I can understand that but what do you mean when you say your mind doesn’t work the way mine does?”

“I never gave up my virginity because at first I blamed the quality of men. Then, it just became a way of life to be a cock tease. Now that I am twenty-three, I am venturing into outright strange territory to be a virgin unless I was a nun.”

There was a heavy silence that formed an awkward barrier between the two of us for the rest of the ride to Kaz’s pad. He owned an opulent mansion in the Hollywood Hills with panoramic views of the city. His home was very cold with all the steel and chrome. The marble floors were covered in strategic places with Persian rugs but other than that, the place was more of a museum than a home.

“Excuse the lack of warmth in my humble abode. I am never here and it’s easier for my maid to tidy up with clean, simple surfaces. A local architect, Lex Burgenfeld, designed it and I fell in love with the home but the furniture leaves a lot to be desired.”

I walked around and explored the large clean kitchen with its industrial sized steel refrigerator built into the wall to blend with the home. Everything was steel, glass and chrome.
