When Mitch came back he moved his
chair closer to her. Without looking at her he said “you’re not seeing anyone?”
“No” she said. “You?”
He smiled and met her gaze. “No.”
After an hour, where they talked
and got to know each other they decided to move into the restaurant for dinner.
Then just after ten they walked out into the carpark.
“Where are you parked?” he said.
“Just over here” she said leading
the way to her car. After opening the door and throwing her bag inside Sharni
turned to face Mitch. “Thanks for tonight.”
“My pleasure” he said. ‘I’m
looking forward to tomorrow.”
“Same here” she said licking her
lips in an unconscious movement.
His eyes dropped down to rest on
her mouth. “I like you Sharni” he said.
“I like you” she said, her breath
evaporating as she looked up at him.
“I like kissing you.”
“Yes” she said, her heart
hammering her ribs. She wanted him to kiss her again
He smiled and lowering his head,
he did. His arms wrapped around her and for several long moments they remained
locked together. His warm body felt good in her arms.
When he eased back Mitch said “is
it too early to ask you to come home with me?”
Sharni didn’t know what to say until
she saw the glint in his eye and realised he was teasing. She looked away with
a laugh, “maybe just a little.”
He laughed and kissing her temple
he said “I’ll see you in the morning.”
Smiling she reached up and gave
him a quick kiss before turning and getting in her car. Mitch stood where he
was until she had pulled away and Sharni couldn’t stop smiling. She could still
feel his lips on hers. Driving home she knew she wasn’t going to get much sleep
that night.
I nice lead up
