“Your man just walked in, Zia.”
I flinch before lifting my gaze to look at my best friend, Josie. We’re
coloring in the playroom at the Dungeon. We do this most weekends when
she’s in town. It’s relaxing and helps calm my nerves.
Josie grins. “Are you going to look?”
I roll my eyes. I know exactly who she’s talking about. Gabriel Perona.
He’s not my man, and he’s certainly not my Daddy.
Josie giggles. “I don’t know why you don’t give him a chance. He
obviously likes you, and he’s a nice man. Chase knows him pretty well.
They talk all the time. Did you know he’s a branch manager for a bank?”
“No.” I keep coloring, trying not to color out of the lines even though
my hand is shaking. I didn’t know that about Gabriel. I’ve never asked.
“I’ve seen you looking at him,” Josie presses. “I know you think he’s
sexy.”
I shrug. Gabriel is the sexiest man ever. He’s tall and handsome and
kind and perfect. I’m well aware of these facts, but I can’t date him. There’s
no way.
“Oh, there’s Chase. He’s talking to Gabriel… And now they are coming
this way. Warning,” Josie whispers.
I draw in a breath and hold it. I have mixed feelings when Gabriel
approaches me. On the one hand, I live for the times he talks to me. On the
other hand, I should stay away from him because he’s exactly the kind of
person I would want to be my Daddy—if only that were a possibility.
I wouldn’t have needed Josie to tell me he was approaching. I can sense
him the moment he’s in my space. I don’t have to look to the side, either. I
can see his dark jeans and loafers in my peripheral vision. His button-down
shirt tonight is black.
He pulls out a chair next to me and sits. “Hey, pretty girl.”
I’m not rude, so I never ignore him when he speaks to me directly. It’s
not in my nature. I lift my gaze to his, trying not to swoon. Why does he
have to look like he just stepped off a magazine cover? “Hi.”
His thick brown hair is just long enough to show that it’s wavy. His
brown eyes are penetrating and kind. I want to lean into him or crawl into
his lap, but I don’t. I would never do that. Doesn’t mean I don’t think about
it.
Gabriel is my fantasy man. I picture all kinds of scenarios with Gabriel
when I’m alone at night. No one needs to know that.
“That’s a pretty picture. Mind if I color with you?”
“No.” Yes. And no. I want him to color with me. I want him to sit next to
me and let his thigh brush against mine. I want to listen to his voice while I
pretend to care about coloring. I like the way his darker complexion looks
against my pale skin. With my blond hair and blue eyes, I’ll never have any
color.
