Kate sat in a club booth, legs and arms folded over one another, unimpressed with any of the men attempting to catch her attention. So far the majority had failed to remember her name by the time they had returned with her drink. Kate glanced around, her black mane of hair swishing back and forth, violet eyes scanning for more boys with potential.
From across the room she saw a tall black man standing in a corner, also looking unimpressed with any of the ladies. Kate's eyebrows rose. She got up from her booth and mingled with the crowd, finally reaching the man on the other side.
"Want to dance?" Kate said, her brilliant, even white teeth showing in a genuine smile.
The man looked down upon her with brooding dark eyes, but smiled nonetheless. "Sure." Kate smiled and grabbed the man's hand. It was calloused and rough.
"I didn't expect to see you here tonight," Kate said as she and the man began to fast dance.
"Kate," the man said, pulling her close and giving her a kiss. "Why haven't you answered any calls?"
"I've just needed time Eli. I needed time away from everything—and I'm sorry you were included."
"Are you feeling any better?" he asked, sincerity in his voice.
"Just kiss me," Kate replied, pressing herself against Eli's hard planes. He wrapped strong arms around her.
