again. He does it again and this time I taste grapes, then pineapples, and then he kisses me in between feeding me.
    He finally takes the blindfold off so we can look at each other and talk. The rest of the picnic, we flirt, tease each other, and eat the rest of the fruits. We talk about our childhoods, teenage years, and college. I love that he trying to get to know me more.
    His cell rang and for once, he doesn’t answer it. Looking at the time, I realize I have to get back to work. We pack up the little picnic and fold the blanket. We walk back to the car hand in hand. This has been an exceptionally good lunch.
    He drives me back to work, telling me that he will see me tonight and kisses me sweetly.
    I walk to work after Evan drops me off. I finally make it to the door of the building I work at. It is a tall, glass building, with three stairs up. The Silver Law Co is written across the building. I go through the shiny silver doors, showing my ID as I walk along the front desk. Straight ahead are two elevators and it takes me right up to the second floor in front of the front desk.
    I greet Nora, she is the daytime front desk person until I get there to cover the second shift. She looks up at me. “The phones are crazy today. I hope you can keep up. The lawyers are busy and the assistants are grouchy,” she warns me as she is almost running to the elevators. I never have a chance to say goodbye. I think she maybe hates her job.
    After what was a crazy day at work, I make it home preparing myself for Evan to come over. He had text me right before I got off work to tell me he was coming over at eight.
    I freshen up and pour some wine when I hear the doorbell. I go to the door to let him. He kisses my cheek and walks into the kitchen to retrieve his glass of wine. He hands me mine and I smile, taking a long swig of it. I still feel like my mind is dancing around in another world tonight.
    That is when I hear a cell ringing and I snap out of my zone. I am mad he can see it in my face. I back up and cross my hands over my chest.
    “You are not going to answer your phone?”
    “What?” I ask, realizing what he said.
    “Natalia, that’s your phone ringing!”
    Oh no, it is ringing and I start laughing because it is mine and not his for a change. I was so lost in my own world I didn't even hear it ring. I went to answer it, but he held me tightly.
    “Don't answer it. Tonight, I am not leaving you. I want you, all of you again, your hands your body and most of all your mouth.”
    My hands went to the back of his hair, my fingers wrapped in it and gently tugging. Then he wraps his arms around me, molding our bodies together like it was made to naturally form that way. I feel at ease right now and comfortable. I love this feeling he gives me.
    “Do you want me to stay the night?” he asks me, looking straight into my eyes.
    “Yes, I do?” He smiles
    I unwrap my arms from his body and fold my arms across my chest.
    He grabs my arms and pulls me close to him. “There’s no secret here, my love.”
    I want to believe him and I hope he is being honest. I am scared for heartbreak, but I will see where this will take me. He backs up a little and looks at the ceiling like he wants to say something.
    “Evan, any kind of relationships is built on honesty. If someone starts lying at the beginning of any kind of friendship then there won't be any trust. If there’s no trust, then there’s nothing,” I said knowingly.
    “So are you saying you have been thinking of us building something here, Miss Natalia?”
    “I actually have. But with lies I don't start anywhere. Don’t get ahead of yourself, sir.”

Evan’s POV
    Chapter 17
     
    I decide to skip the gym to enjoy the perfect warm weather and sun and I went for a run after work. Running clears my mind and helps me think clearly. Tonight, I am meeting Natalia and her friends for some drinks. I called her earlier for the plan. She insisted that she go with them so I accepted.
