Chapter 16
Eleazar leads me away from Edward and I'll admit, I'm a little reluctant and a smidgen sad about leaving my Country Cutie. Going into this, I wasn't sure what kind of man I was looking for. I didn't care if they were from the north, south, east or west, but maybe I was wrong.
There is a lot to be said for a good ol' country boy. They just know how to treat women with respect that their mama's etched into them at an early edge. Something as simple as opening doors or leading a woman into the room, with their hand on the small of her back. Little things that can be so intimate and make you feel so warm and special. That's what southern men are like. They're also strong and manly and know how to do things with their hands and not afraid of a little dirt either.
That's what Mr. Gorgeous Green was like. He told me he grew up on a farm, but he's now in banking. He didn't want to wear his shiny shoes here tonight, because he almost feels it's a façade of sorts. While he's Mr. Suite and Tie from eight to five, he's Mr. Farmer all of the rest. He helps his ailing father take care of the family farm in the early mornings, evenings and weekends. I think I was endeared to him even further after that short little discussion.
But, I'm here for a reason and so are the other nineteen men and I have to be fair. So, I let Mr. Latino, lead me to another secluded spot around the pool to talk to me. He's sexy, but for some reason as he's telling me about himself, though not conceited like James and Mike, he's still not Edward. There is something about those soulful green eyes and his tough, yet sweet demeanor that I'm so quickly becoming addicted to and that, that thought alone, terrifies me and exhilarates me all at once.
A/N: Thanks for reading!
