myself, Daniel had pulled up and opened my door. I got out of the car, walked up to the door and knocked confidently, regardless of the weird feelings I had going on in my gut.
What is that, anyway?
I questioned myself as the door swung open.
A very pretty, wild-looking blonde girl answered the door. I thought I slightly recognised her face from somewhere, but I didn’t actually know her.
“Good evening, is Lizzy here, please?” I asked politely.
The pretty girl in front of me frowned and was clearly trying to put on a ferocious act—which she was pretty good at—although she didn’t intimidate me in the slightest.
“Yes, she’s here. She is just getting her bag,” pretty thing snarled at me.
“And you are…” I enquired.
“Never mind who I am, but let me tell you, Lucas Castle—I know who you are. I know your brothers, and I know your game as far as innocent young women like Lizzy are concerned.” I could see she was on a roll and had a whole speech prepared, so I said nothing and let her carry on and get whatever she had to say off of her chest.
“Unfortunately, Lizzy has fallen for your charms and is quite looking forward to your dinner tonight, so I hope you have the decency to treat her with a bit of respect. She is not the type ofgirl who will jump into bed with you on a first date, so if those are your intentions, forget it. I also know where you live, Lucas, so if you are out of order at all tonight, or in the future, or Lizzy comes home with anything other than a smile plastered on her gorgeous face, raving on about what a gentleman you’ve been, then mark my words—I will be coming to find you, and God help you then!”
Pretty fishwife lady seemed to have finished. I was smirking slightly, which I knew would irritate her, and it had the desired effect because she scowled at me and turned away muttering expletives. The door was now open, and scary lady stood in front of Lizzy, probably trying to talk her out of going to dinner with me. But that’s not why I started to feel pissed off. The reason I was annoyed was because she was blocking my view of the gorgeous girl I had come to take out to dinner.
Lizzy was like an obsession to me, and right at that moment, I needed to see her completely, not just glimpses. As if reading my mind, mad, scary, pretty, fishwife lady was storming off from in front of her and into another room.
As I watched her retreat, my eyes then slid back to the beauty I’d been itching to see, and as my eyes reached her I felt them widen, because the stunning image I saw in front of me was beyond anything I had imagined over the last few days. I mean, I knew Lizzy would be looking gorgeous for our date, but the woman who stood in front of me looked like a goddess. It was like Aphrodite was standing right in front of me, a vision to behold. And I knew right there and then I would never forget this moment for as long as I lived.
Lizzy started walking to me, and I thought to myself that I had better stop staring, so I raised my eyebrows at her in appreciation. I went to say “Wow”, but no words came out, so I think I just mouthed it. I did manage to compliment her, telling her she looked amazing, although I was still trying to take her all in. Her sleek hair, tan skin, and gorgeous green dress complemented her complexion and her gorgeous figure beautifully.
I held out my hand to Lizzy, my eyes not leaving her but hoping she wouldn’t decline my gesture. Thankfully she didn’t, and as I took her hand it melted into mine, and in that moment I knew that I never wanted to let her go.
When Daniel pulled up at the restaurant, I quickly got out of the car to open Lizzy’s door. This was normally Daniel’s domain, but in the crazy state I was in over this girl, I didn’t want anyone else doing anything for her, just me. I held out my hand to help her step out of the car, and when she did I felt like the luckiest man alive.
I am quite an old-fashioned gent at heart, so
