didn’t doze off and he caught me. No,
I definitely didn’t. He must move like a cat, and to top it all, once again
he’s heard me say ‘shit’. I sit up straight, trying to compose myself, as I
look up at him.
“Hi.” I answer with a shaky smile. Okay,
my nerves are gaining the better of me. I can feel my hands shaking, as I take
a deep breath and say, “take a seat,” gesturing to the bench beside me.
Oh boy! Does he look good? He’s wearing his
usual black jeans, with a black shirt, open at the collar and with the sleeves
rolled up.
“Thanks.” He says, sitting down next to me,
and I observe the amusement in his eyes. “Sorry, didn’t mean to make you jump.”
he grins, and my legs turn to water. Yep, its official, I’m weak. Especially
around that smile of his.
“I was just chilling out for a while.”
I say. “Giving my feet a break and catching my breath. It’s been awesome, but
it’s been a long day and I’m starting to feel it.”
Okay, now I’m waffling . For
crying out loud girl GET A GRIP!
“I know what you mean. Although for a
minute there, I thought you were avoiding me?” he states with an amused smile.
I gape at him, and I just know my mouth is
hanging open with shock. Well! He’s not backwards in coming forwards is he? I
decide to take the bull by the horns, confess, and get it over with.
“Oh alright! I confess, you got me.” I
reply. “I felt a little awkward and decided to escape. Not too well as it
turns out.” I just know I’m blushing head to toe.
“That’s okay. I don’t blame you. After
what happened following the concert, I can understand your hesitancy. I can’t
really go into it, but what happened couldn’t be helped. I’d like to apologise
if you’ll let me?”
He seems sincere. I can’t refuse his
apology, it will just make me look a bitch, and let’s face it, I don’t want to.
“Apology accepted.” I
reply with a tentative smile.
He smiles back at me,
and those dimples of his come out full force, taking my breath away.
“I thought you were in New York.” I blurt
out frowning.
He bursts out laughing at me. Oh hell! Did
I just say that out loud?
“It got cancelled.” he smiles.
Yep! Seems I did say that out loud. Another
episode of my mouth working before my brain is up and running.
“Sorry, mouth
malfunction.” I groan. “My turn to apologise.”
“Accepted. How about we start over? Hi, I’m
AJ pleased to meet you.” he says, holding out his hand for me to shake.
“Hi, I’m Jorgi.” I reply with a smile. I
take his hand and we shake. The touch of his hand sending tingles all up my
arm. Oh hell! I’m a goner. I know it. I don’t know why I’m fighting it. I
think deep down I knew that this is how I’d be affected. That’s why I’ve been
doing avoidance tactics. Well, I can’t avoid him anymore.
“So, how are you enjoying my hometown? Has
Jen been taking you out and about?”
“Well, I’ve only been here a few days, so I
haven’t seen much, but what I’ve seen so far I love.”
“We’ll have to do something about that
then. See what we can organise.” he suggests.
I don’t know how to answer that. There’s
nothing more I’d like, than to be shown LA by him. However, I don’t want to
put him out, and I certainly don’t want him to feel obligated to take me
anywhere. So I opt for the safest option.
“That’s okay. I know you must be busy, and
I really have to knuckle down and work on my writing. So, I’m not sure when
I’ll have time to go out and about.”
He stares at me in silence with those piercing
blue eyes of his for so long, that I begin to feel uncomfortable.
Did I offend him?
I think I did.
I can see a muscle twitching in his jaw,
and just as I begin to have the courage to speak, he leans back on the bench
with a confident smile and states:
“Now, I think you just tried to say no. So
