guy.
Jacob grinned from the driver seat at his phone. He could practically see the blush on her face now. Maybe he would see it in person? It was nearing 11:00 AM and he could take a few moments for lunch shortly. He grabbed two coffees, sandwiches and two bags of chips. He thanked the clerk and headed back to the car.
Millie was fanning herself. Her heart was racing. Red lipstick, pearls and nothing else. Oh my word. She was imagining it and trying to stay composed as people walked along the street looking in the office window occasionally. She could feel heat building in her and was imaging his body with red lipstick placed in a few key places. She fanned herself again hotly.
Danielle was there watching Millie out of the corner of her eye, practically laughing. She didn't even need to read that email to guess what got her all flustered. It was obvious by the way Millie was fanning herself and breathing. Curiosity was killing her but she assumed it was very private and would not be shared willingly.
The phone in the office rang loudly and Millie jumped, which drew a giggle out of Danielle. “Shall I get that for you?” Danielle teased.
Millie gave a relieved smile. “Yes, please do,” Millie, breathed. “Just don't ask,” she said to Danielle’s raised brow and smile.
Danielle snatched up the phone quickly before the voicemail could pick up. “Clark realtors, this is Danielle. May I help you?” Danielle turned back to the computer to focus on the call. She decided to tease Millie a bit and set her on edge, pretending that it was Officer Hunter on the phone.
At Danielle’s sharp accusing glance, Millie waved her hand at her neck in a sideways fashion. “I am not here!” she gasped, desperate for a moment to collect herself. Assuming that call was for her, she had no idea how she was going to reply to that email, much less talk on the phone just yet.
Millie took several deep breaths and heard Danielle answer several questions, realizing it wasn't Jacob on the phone she let out a sigh of relief and dismay. He certainly got her riled up quickly and knew exactly what to say to her. Millie stood and stretched for a moment, gathered up her papers and grabbed her camera to get ready to head to their newest listing and get some photos to put online. She had her back to the office door and she heard the bell chime and Danielle’s snicker of delight at the same time.
Millie felt her spine go ramrod straight in anticipation. Jacob! Millie took a deep breath and turned, smiling coolly.
Danielle grabbed the paperwork and camera from Millie “I’ll get these, you take your time and handle him,” she said with a wink. She was not going to let her friend pass on having lunch with a man in uniform!
Jacob stood in the doorway, watching the exchange with a grin. He had flowers in one hand, a carrier holding two coffees in the other. The bag of food was perched precariously on the holder between his chest and the cups.
“Morning, gorgeous, would you have time to share lunch with me?” he said happily. He made his way to Millie’s desk and put the vase on the corner. He stopped at the florist who teased him about making girls cry a lot when he picked out pink roses in a crystal vase this time. He winked paid for the purchase, awaiting Millie’s reaction to him just showing up at her office.
“Jacob, I was just getting ready to head out for a bit to go look around for you,” she said calmly and clasped her hands to keep them from shaking. My goodness he could really fluster her. She was still mentally picturing him, however, she was taking him out of that
