CHAPTER THREE-Gentleman
Andrea rolls over in bed. Her arm touches someone's hand. She looks over in a dreamlike state. She almost expected to see Glenn laying beside her.
Instead it was the handsome man from the bar. She had stayed all night at his house, wearing his shirt. That much she could figure out.
Her heart is torn. On one hand, she had enjoyed this man's company. But still she missed Glenn.
He pulls her closer, slowly opening his eyes.
"What happened last night?" She asked, suddenly wondering if she had sex with this mysterious stranger.
"You drunk to much. Threw up all over your clothes. So I took you to my house, cleaned you up, and put you to bed. You kissed me a few times, but I was a gentleman. We didn't have sex," he assured her.
"Good, I am mean not that you aren't a total babe. I am still getting my shit together from this breakup," she said quietly.
"Take all the time you need to get your shit together. I hate to see you so sad. I know it's hard to have someone just walk out of your life, but if you spend some more time with me, I can help take your mind of him," he whispered finally.
Andrea studied his soft facial features, light brown hair, and big blue eyes. He was so very attractive. She could not deny that.
"That's kind of you. I might take you up on that offer, if I don't end up leaving Georgia," She said moving closer to him in the bed.
"Thinking of leaving? Want to be closer to your family?"
"I lost my family. My parents, my sister. And I thought maybe Glenn would be my family now," she said looking towards the ground.
"I am sorry. I lost my wife and daughter too. In a car accident," he replied gently.
"I understand. I feel like maybe if I move, I can make a new start. Everywhere I go, I see Glenn. Two years is along time to be with someone," she admitted.
He nodded in agreement. "Well, he does not deserve you. I think it's time for you to have some fun. How about I take you to the movies tomorrow night? No drinks, just us getting to know each other. What do you say?"
It took her a few minutes to answer. "Okay," she smiled.
One year he had been watching and waiting for his chance to make a move. He had seen her often at the pizza place next door to his bar, and was immediately taken. He come back often to watch her. Even got to know her boyfriend, just to get information about her. So okay was not exactly the answer he had been waiting for, but he would take it. Was better than no.
