The "Lady" is not a myth....

Turing the pages Thursday....Sneak Peek Mistaken Angel

She was consumed in the ridiculous thoughts of her friends when a warm masculine hand settled on her shoulder. So strange how familiar it was even now after three years she couldn’t do that with Nick.
“So I see Ms. Angel decided to come out and share some of her beauty with us tonight.” And boy was Mother Nature not playing fair, it seemed it was her turn for all the attention she could get from the beautiful Adonis’s walking around her resort but at least this one was familiar.
“Hey, I was gonna look for you sorry I fell asleep last night.” Hopefully to school girl ogling wasn’t showing on her face when she spoke.
“I heard, so you done with dinner feel like coming for a walk with me before the show?” So she was right about who is friend was messaging earlier.
“Ah…sure a walk would be nice.” When she stood to grab her plate Jay waved her off and motioned at the same time to one of the waiters standing by to take it for her.
“Good I saw this spot earlier today that will be great to watch the show from come on I’ll show you…you got your camera?”
“No…just relaxing tonight I took a lot of pictures earlier on this tour to the ruins…so I decided to give it a little rest.”
“Cool so I take it your enjoying the trip now.” Now…because it was clear I wasn’t enjoying it at first.
“That would be correct it’s amazing all the history and beauty here it’s well I can’t even really describe it you know.” Interesting that he’d picked up on her frustrations from before and was subtly showing her he understood.
“I completely agree with you on the beauty part.” He led her down a set of steps towards the beach just outside the main deck. Between the lights shinning from the resort and the glow of the moon above them it wasn’t dark at all which calmed her stranger danger fears.
“So what did you guys do today…another competition?” No use in acting like they had to get to know one another they’d past those awkward moments already. Well mostly.
“No we went for a hike actually then just relaxed after it was nice though…I got a call from that client so I did some work from one of the offices earlier.”
“Wow so you will break you vacation for your work…that is dedication for sure.” Speaking of work with him had Tim’s call and text heavy on her mind she wasn’t ready for move the way he thought she was. In so many ways she was just starting to stand on her own feet and not just be led around through what someone else wanted for her. California was a huge change that she hadn’t even given much thought to. Tim had just always been the one to have so much faith in her she had to at least consider what it was offering right?
“I guess or I just enjoy what I do…that could be part of it to right?”
“Absolutely….so Jay tell me which country you found your special someone in.” Time to turn her attention to the more pressing issues like a true jersey girl would, there was no way this man was single. He probably was the equivalent of some top male model somewhere with a ridiculous body and an amazing career to top that off, no way he was single so it was time she found out how truthful he was willing to be about it.
“I’m sorry…” This time even though they were mostly in the dark she made out a little dimple in his left cheek when his smile came into view. Part of her wanted to lean forward to see if they filled both sides but she resisted.
“Your special someone did you find her in an exotic location like your friend or is she just your everyday supermodel?” That was as close as she was going to come to asking was he single so he was just going to have to take the hint and answer her with what she’d already put on the table.
“Ahhh…My special someone….well as it turns out I am currently without a special someone...but I’ve got my eyes open for sure. So tell me Ms. Angel how is it your special someone was willing to let you go off on such an amazing trip without them?” He didn’t miss a step at all and was fishing just as well as she was and hell he was doing it much better. For sure he was a pro at this game and was showing his skills.
“Probably because I just called him last week and called off our wedding.” It popped out so fast she wasn’t really sure if she regretted saying it or if it was just a relief to admit it had happened. The heat rose quickly in her cheeks which made her extremely thankful for the dark lighting.
“Wow….Ahh….”
