presents.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt you. I’ll come back later.”
“No, it’s all right. I wasn’t doing anything important,” she said, touching his arm to stop him from leaving. “Is there something you wanted?” She didn’t mean to say it like that, she hoped he wouldn’t pick up on the way she said it. But when she looked back at him again, she knew he had definitely noticed.
She swallowed. “I mean, you’re here on my door step for some reason. Is everything all right?” She frowned.
“I just wanted to see if you wanted to go to the movies on Monday night. You can pick the show, of course.”
Did he just ask me out on a date?
Obviously she was taking too long to answer him.
“If you got plans, it’s all good, just thought I’d ask.” He started to turn around again and that was starting to get annoying. Why couldn’t he just say something and wait to see what she said before he turned away?
“I don’t know anything about you.” Skylar answered.
“We wouldn’t be alone. There will be several people there and it’s their busiest night. How does seven o’clock sound? We can have some dinner before we go, where it’s crowded, or just go to the movie.”
She looked around, unsure about the situation. “How about just the movie. Is that fine?”
“That’s fine with me, Skylar.” Nate told her with a slight grin on his face.
She loved how her name sounded when he said it. It rolled off his tongue perfectly . Not going in that direction . “So about the movie, you would let me pick any movie and you would sit there and watch the entire movie, especially if it’s a chick flick?” She raised her brow and waited for his answer.
“I’ll watch whatever you pick and promise not to fall asleep through it.” He didn’t care what she picked out; he just wanted to be with her.
She could be cruel and pick some chick flick, but she would fall sleep through it herself. “I’m not that cruel, Nate. I’m more into action and comedy, as long as there are any good ones out there playing. I’m sure you’re fine with action or comedy movies, right?”
“Yes, I’m fine with them.”
“Well, since we have sorted out what kind of movie we’ll be watching, I’ll see you on Monday at seven, don’t be late. I don’t like waiting around,” Skylar answered him.
He nodded and smiled at her before deciding to leave before he said or did anything stupid.
Watching Nate leave, she closed the door and moved back into her room, putting on her pyjamas and jumping into bed. She had a long day with Chantal. They were never short days with that girl. Rolling over and hugging the pillow, it didn’t take her long to fall into a deep sleep.
Chapter 4
By the time Monday came, Skylar was excited. She was going to the movies tonight with Nate. After the last two days she had, that was the only thing that put a smile on her face. The pipe had burst in the kitchen and she had to wait a day for the guy to come out and fix it, so she had no water for that whole time. Then there was the installation of the new air conditioner; they had to cancel, as they overbooked themselves. But that was all sorted now. She had to get ready for work. She worked for Heaven’s Touch Adult Shop as a sales representative for one of her friends, Stacy. Her job was to buy products from the manufacture and sell them to her friend. Helping her receive more customers and more buyers for the company that she purchased them from. Also set up stands to promote certain products to draw customers in, and promote how the products work.
She met Stacy ten years ago when she went into an adult store as a dare by her friends and had to buy a vibrator. That’s how she got into this
