Chapter Twenty-Eight

Antonia’s was so beautiful that Keira had a hard time believing Jim even knew of a place like this. It used to be a large loft but the owner of the property turned it into an intimate restaurant. The entire place consisted of about ten tables that were spread throughout the building along with two booths that were tucked over in the far left corner. Jazz music played in the background just loud enough for you to hear it, but not so distracting that it would drown out your conversation.

The waiter came and took their order within ten minutes of being seated. Honestly, Keira was positive it might have been quicker than she first thought. Everything from the dimmed lights, white and black tablecloths, to the framed photos on the wall screamed romantic. Antonia’s was the kind of a place a man took a woman he wanted to romance and make feel like she was the only woman in his life.

Jim surprised her having this place in his arsenal of seduction. He already had her with his charm and wit. One thing was for sure, any place Jim wanted to take her was never boring. Something always took her breath away about each. He was definitely delivering novelty to her life that had been missing for a very long time.

“This place is stunning,” Keira said, staring at everything around her. “I could look at the beauty of it forever.”

“You’re right. The view is quite captivating.” Jim said looking at her and not his surroundings.

“You aren’t looking around you, but at me.”

“I know what my eyes were on and I meant every word.”

An unexpected thrill hit her body at the flirty compliment Jim gave her. He was full of admissions tonight, but she wasn’t going to let them go to her head. She and Jim were still on shaky ground when it came to each other. Yes, the sex between them was off the charts, but bed shaking, screaming at the top of your lungs intercourse wasn’t a reason to start a relationship. He might have another agenda going on that she wasn’t even aware of.

“Keira, I want to apologize for the way I acted back at the other restaurant. I really had no clue Kathy would be there. If I had the slightest warning I would have brought you here first and avoided her altogether.”

“She’s a very spiteful and unhappy woman,” Jim said. “She doesn’t care who she drags down into the pit of gloom that she permanently resides in. I used to think I did something to make her that way, but now I see it’s all her. She thrives on being a vicious person.”

The sincerity in Jim’s voice caught Keira off guard. She wasn’t expecting him to bring Kathy up again. She had placed that nutcase in the back of her head, because if she ever saw her again she wouldn’t be responsible for her actions. Jim was an ever-changing mystery and against her better judgment she was beginning to really like this new side of him.
