Me And Mrs Jones by Marie Rochelle Read Free Book Online

Dana enough space to get off the desk. While her friend was going to get her purse, she let her mind travel back to her conversation with Travis. He did hint to her that he might be interested in going out on a date with her.
    There was no denying it at all. Renee was totally attracted to Travis. She also got the impression that Travis wasn’t against the thought of dating an older woman, but could she actually say yes if he called her up for a date?

 
    Chapter Seven
     
     
    Standing out near the lake with the sun shining down on the water giving it a natural sparkle, Travis tried to keep his mind on the painting he was working on but he couldn’t keep his thoughts off Renee.
    How could she not be controlling his thoughts? She was the most beautiful woman that he had ever laid eyes on...and he did mean woman. His past relationships involved girls his age or a little bit younger. However, in the short period of time he had spoken to Renee, he had found her mature and so much more interesting than any of them.
    Everything about Renee screamed to the artist in him to find a way to paint her. Her essence would just flow off the canvas if he was talented enough to capture the pure beauty of her soul.
    Travis had a hard time remembering when he’d been this interested in getting a woman to pose for him. A few of his girlfriends in the past had done it for him and after the relationship was over, he had given them the drawing or painting because they asked for it.
    But, if he was lucky enough to paint Renee, he would keep her in his collection. He wouldn’t be able to part with it.
    Now, all he had to do was figure out a way to get Renee to agree to his idea. She came across like she was a little apprehensive of him. He didn’t know what caused it, but he had to find a way to fix the problem.
    Nothing he wanted to do would be able to happen if Renee couldn’t handle being around him for a long period of time. He did get a sense of satisfaction knowing Renee was drawn to him. The interest in her eyes didn’t go over his head because he felt the same thing during their short conversation.
    Back at the café, Travis had to fight his overwhelming need to be closer to Renee. He had wanted to touch her so bad but quickly decided that moment wasn’t the right time to make his move on her. Scaring her off wasn’t his plan at all and an unwanted touch might have sent her racing for the nearest exit sign.
    No...Renee needed to learn more about him first. Just from their short time together he got the feeling she was the type of woman who wanted a man to move slowly and not jump in without a plan.
    Placing his paint brush down on the table next to him, Travis reached into his overall pockets and pulled out the business card Renee had given to him. Renee’s invitation to bring some of his artwork to her gallery was the perfect opening that he needed. While they were discussing his talent, he would also use it as a way to find out more about her.
    Usually he was very confident about his ability to get a date with the opposite sex, but for some reason he was nervous about just asking Renee out of a date. Was it the age thing? Would she consider him too immature to go out on a date with?
    The incident with his ex-girlfriend had put a little doubt in his ability to figure out the opposite sex. He couldn’t believe he was almost thirty years old and he was nervous about asking Renee out on a date.
    What in the hell was wrong with him?
    Question after question raced through Travis’ head as he placed the card back into his pocket and he picked his paint brush back up. Looking back out at the water, he raised his brush to the canvas and worked on trying to capture the beauty of the waterfall and how the sun skipped off the water.
    Painting was the only thing that cleared his mind enough helping him to see his problems from both sides. He never liked going into anything from painting, drawing or even a commitment without seeing all of the
