I'm going back out…will be back tonight with four more for you're reading pleasure.

Chapter 57

Bella's POV

Your lips on my skin feels nice.

Your hand on my lower back as you escort me to our table is sweet.

But the conversation we have over appetizers blows my mind.

You speak passionately about your job and the fulfillment it brought when the team won the Eastern Conference Championship...last year.

You speak of the hours you spend talking numbers with owners or the many meetings you attend, making sure our city has the best of the best.

It's like night and day.

This side of you is enticing and thrilling.

I see it in your eyes that you acknowledge my need for a man, like the one currently rubbing his foot over mine.

But I can also see this isn't you.

You give this side dominance over your need to relax and be you. I see now that this is just what you do to make others happy.

Suddenly this side isn't as appealing as the one that's slyly trying to look down the top of my dress.

You don't need to pretend to make me happy sweet man.

The crazy obnoxious you is more than enough.
