Someone To Love. Karen White-Owens
“What do you want to say?” she asked, redirecting his thoughts back to their previous discussion.
“I know that we haven’t known each other very long. And that you’re used to a very different kind of life.” He swallowed loudly, picking up her hand and linking their fingers. “You’re new to town and there is a lot that you have to see and do before you get completely settled in, but I want to be part of your life. I want us to see each other and for you to know that I’ll be available when you need me.
“I don’t know how to say this. I’m embarrassed. These feelings are new to me.” J.D. held her gaze with his own. “I like you. Hopefully we’ve got time to get to know each other better. But I want to let you know how I feel.”
Shae blew out a nervous breath of air. “J.D., I was worried that you wanted to end our relationship. To put some space and time between us. I like you, too, and I want to get to know you better.”
Separating after a series of good-night kisses that had her weak in the knees and her head swimming, Shae said good night and closed the door after J.D. left. She danced through the suite on her way to her bedroom. Nothing could bring her down after the evening she enjoyed with J.D. She couldn’t wait for their next date. Being with him just seemed so right. They had made plans to go car shopping tomorrow evening after work.
Shae sat on the bed and removed her diamond earrings, while she reached for the ringing telephone. “Hello.”
“How’s my princess?”
“Pop!”
“The one and only. Hi, sweetie.”
“Hi, Pop. It’s almost been a week, I was wondering when you would get around to me,” she muttered.
“Princess, you know you’re my number one girl. I’m sorry things got out of hand for a bit.”
“Mmm. That’s nothing new.” She shook her head, putting her misgivings away. It was good to hear from her father and she craved news about her family. “So how are you? Or rather how is the business?”
“Everything is good. How was your first day of work?”
“How did you know today was my first day?”
“Just because I haven’t talked with you doesn’t mean I don’t know what’s going on,” he reminded.
“So it seems.” She twisted the telephone cord around her fingers.
“So how did it go?”
“Good. I think I’m going to be happy here. There’s a lot of work ahead, but that’s not a bad thing. I like to work.” She chuckled. “I think I received that trait honestly.”
