Out of Nowhere by LaShawn Vasser Read Free Book Online Page B

little worried.  Jason was getting ready to call Bridget one last time when he saw her approaching their table. Bridget looked like a million dollars.  One thing no one would ever be able to say is that Bridget wasn’t beautiful.  She looked like she stepped off of the pages of a Vogue magazine.  Her hair was long, thick, and jet black.  It complimented her deep green eyes and pouty red lips.  Bridget was very tall and modelesque.  The backless off-the-shoulder dress she wore complimented her figure superbly.  The dress matched her green eyes and really made her porcelain skin look like it was glowing.  Her long legs looked even longer in the heels that she wore.  She was beautiful and she knew it.  From the looks of the men’s eyes following her in the restaurant they knew it too.  Jason and Bridget had been dating for over three years.  Everyone expected them to get married.  He even expected them to get married right up until the moment he met Vicky on the elevator yesterday.  Incredible that it was only yesterday that he had met her.  The instant connection they had made it seem like he’d known her for so much longer.  Jason knew that when he’d met Vicky life for everyone was going to drastically change.  As beautiful as Bridget was tonight, Jason wasn’t even the least bit stirred.  He must be losing his mind because he and Bridget always had great sex.  But, as great as it was it didn’t come close to what he felt when he’d made love with Vicky.  Damn it.  He had to stop thinking about her and focus on this situation with Bridget.  They weren’t going to get married.  That was the bottom line.  Bridget would be angry at first but she would get over it.  His parents would be very disappointed and her parents are going to be livid.  He stood up as Bridget made it to their table and she offered her lips to him.  He kissed her on the cheek. 
    “Bridget, you look lovely as usual” for just an instant her smile faltered.  She quickly recovered and took her seat. “You look great too. Jason before anything else is said tonight, I want to apologize.  I never should have left you the way that I did.  I was just so frustrated with how things were going between us.  I didn’t know what else to do.  I felt I needed to somehow get your attention”. Bridget tossed her beautiful hair to one side, reached out to hold Jason’s hands and looked at him longingly.  Jason felt slightly guilty as Bridget continued on “What is going on with us? Lately, you’ve seemed so withdrawn, distracted even” the waiter came over to take their order.  This gave Jason a moment to gather his thoughts as they placed their order.  He waited until the waiter left to say what needed to be said “Bridget, there is no need for you to apologize.  This time has given both of us a chance to really think about our relationship.  In the beginning after you left I was angry.  But then those few days gave me a chance to really think and put things into perspective.  I realized you deserve so much more than what I can give you”. This conversation wasn’t going at all as Bridget had envisioned it.  “What are you talking about Jason?” Bridget was starting to get nervous “After talking with your father, I now understand the stress you’ve been under at work.  You could have talked to me about it. I would have understood. We’re cut from the same cloth.  I’ve had to watch my father run a business as well.  I understand that sort of stress.  I could have even helped you. Jason, damn it we are a really good team” She talked to his father? When? His dad hadn’t mentioned that when they’d talked this afternoon.  It took everything within Jason to remain calm “Bridget, all those things are true.  For the past three years we have made a good team.  But, did you notice that not once did you mention that we love each other? Getting married is not a merger.  We should not get married because
