But I’m still hanging onto a shred of disbelief.
This can be a business meeting.
But short of the––sometimes––bloody endings, what do mobsters do if not business meetings?
They move toward the entrance with intent, exchanging words and offering tense smiles.
I don’t know what this is, but I better leave.
I don’t do that, though.
I move stealthily behind a few cars and then creep closer, getting a better view of him at the same time.
He rocks that coat and smooth gloves.
He looks like a killer. And he could surely kill my heart if I had gotten any closer to this man.
But what are the chances to see him here?
How strange this story is.
A few days ago, I knew nothing about this man.
I fell into his lap, literally, and we went from snapping words with sexual undertones at each other to some sort of nerdy friendship and then to him being forever present in my life and borderline-stalking me.
He is as mysterious as he is attractive, and I’m about to do the stupidest thing that I could do.
Instead of moving away, going to the meeting place, and then home, I slide closer to the cars.
The drivers fall into their seats, and one by one, the cars pull away. I can only assume they’ll wait for their passengers someplace close.
My eyes sit on Ewan’s shoulders while he walks through the doors.
Once they’re all inside, I step even closer.
The place is crammed with people, and I wish I could slip inside the lobby and pretend I’m one of the guests of the hotel or restaurant.
I’m pretty sure that’s where they’re headed.
It’s too bad that I’m not dressed for the occasion.
If I were, I could’ve pulled that stunt.
Still this is silly.
I can only imagine the mountain of embarrassment that would ram through me if I happened to run into him and had no explanation for my presence there.
This is the second time this has happened.
Fate drawing us together. Bringing us to a certain place. And I’m not even talking about how we met.
So what could I tell him if he noticed me inside the hotel?
’Oh, hi. I lied to you and then spotted you and followed you inside the hotel because I couldn’t keep my curiosity under control?’
And, um…
‘I also want to know your business since my friend, Samantha, told me…’
