Chapter Seven — Kat

“Wow, Kat, you look amazing!” Jace said, his face lighting up the second I opened the front door.

My cheeks warmed and I glanced down for a beat. “Thank you, you do too.”

And did he ever…he was wearing dark wash jeans, that were far from being hipster, but definitely tight enough to show off his well muscled legs. He was wearing a black leather jacket, unzipped to show off a deep red, almost burgundy tee underneath.

He was still staring at me, but brought his hand up and rubbed the back of his neck.

“Is something wrong?” I asked, suddenly startled. I looked down at my dress, making sure nothing was amiss.

“Well…I hate to ask you this but… can you change?”

My mouth opened, but nothing came out. Of all the things he could have said, that was the one thing I didn’t have a response to.

He smiled sheepishly. “Sorry, I know, what an asshole…it’s just, I brought my Harley and wanted to take you for a ride. I don’t think you’ll be comfortable in that dress.”

My hand patted the front of my dress, as though assessing whether or not he was right. “Well, we could take me car, instead? I don’t mind.”

“No, it’s gotta be the bike,” he replied, leaving no room for discussion. He was still smiling, but his tone let me know his mind was made up and he wasn’t changing it over a dress.

I nodded slowly. “All right, well give me a couple minutes. I’ll throw on some jeans.”

“Thanks.” He stepped inside and closed the front door behind him and the house was filled with his energy and the faint smell of day old cologne. I watched him for a minute, as he strode into the middle of the living room and looked around, as though absorbing each detail of me through the decor. The room felt smaller, and the silence charged with electricity as I realized how intimate the moment was. What am I thinking? I should have offered to meet him somewhere—anywhere. God, I really am an unfit mother. Who invites a strange man to their home like this? I reamed myself. Jace turned in time to catch my contorted face as I mentally battled with myself. “Are you all right?”

I forced a smile. “Yeah. I’ll be back.” I hustled away before I could get tangled in my thoughts again. God, I’m being a total spaz. I closed the door to my bedroom, paused a moment, and then flipped the lock—just in case. I stalked across the room in three long strides, and flung open the accordion doors of the closet. I’d already done this once before, carefully choosing the dress I was wearing—but in hindsight realized it was all wrong. Not only because of the Harley, but because the night with Jace wasn’t a date, it was just two people having dinner. By wearing a dress and heels—even low ones—I was sending the complete wrong message.

“Get it together, Kat,” I huffed at myself, refocusing my gaze on the options in front of me.
