think our Mitch is falling in love.”
    “Don’t get carried away. I’m definitely interested in finding out more about her.”
    “Hmm, well at least you are seeing a girl more than once. It’s a start. I’ll call you tomorrow.” And she was gone.
    Glancing at the time , Mitch realized he needed to get a move on. It was suddenly very important to him to not be late collecting his date.

    Isabelle watched for him out the window as she didn’t want him to wake Jesse. She even admitted to herself she was eager and couldn’t wait for him to arrive. A twinge of concern crept into her mind but she shook it off. Mitch wasn’t what he seemed and she decided her concerns weren’t warranted.
    An excited “O h!” escaped her lips when she spotted him heading up the path to their building. She leapt off the chair, waved to Carol and hurried out to meet him. When she walked out the door she stopped: he looked incredible, again. Tonight he wore jeans and a blue t-shirt the color of his eyes. His hair looked damp, as though he’d just showered, and images of his wet body ran through her mind. She couldn’t move.
    Mitch couldn’t help but notice her when she dashed out of her apartment building. His heart flew into his throat when she stopped and his tongue became tied once again. The tight skinny jeans with boots which had her matching him for height showed off every curve of her body. Her blue frilly shirt brought out the blue in her eyes and they were once again that mixed color. Her hair was down and fell in a black satiny curtain down her back. Shiny lips begged him to taste the raspberry on them again.
    In two swift strides he bridged the distance and was not disappointed when he buried his hands in her hair and brought her lips to his. They felt and tasted just as he remembered. Her floral scent intoxicated him as h e devoured her mouth with fervor. Seconds, minutes, passed as they stood entwined. When she pulled back to speak he found he missed the taste of her.
    “ We should go before the neighbors call the police.”
    “The police?”
    “Yes, you keep kissing me like that and we will be indecently exposed.”
    The image of this froze him to the spot until she started giggling and he couldn’t help but laugh along with her. He offered his arm and they strolled towards his house. The heat and electricity passed between them like a steady flowing river.
    They chatted about the people with whom they were both acquainted and discovered they shared similar outlooks on life. They were both in an occupation that they would prefer they weren’t doing. She asked about his collection and seemed excited about seeing his work.
    When he stopped and turned up a path leading to an apartment building , she realized they’d arrived. The modern complex looked expensive and it pleased her to think he must be frugal with his money and respected him more for it.
    They rode the elevator in silence, his hand clasping hers before entering the front door. The inside was very much as contemporary as the outside. His furniture looked informal and comfortable, which suited him. There were photographs on the walls of various landscapes from around the world and she was awestruck by their beauty and his talent. She walked over to one shot in a desert with the sunset lighting the dunes. The yellow, red and orange, tinged with pink, were spectacular.
    “This is beautiful, Mitch. It’s yours?” He nodded. “You’re really talented.”
    “Thanks,” he said softly, a blush coloring his cheeks.
    “I’m looking forward to seeing what you have chosen for your collection now. Looking at these you will have no trouble finding a gallery and selling your pieces.”
    “You’re too nice,” he mumbled.
    Modest too; she liked that. “No, I’m being honest. You are definitely wasting your talents photographing models, although, you do that well too.” She smiled to try and ease what appeared to be discomfort over her compliments.
