you’re worried about the age difference, but it isn’t a problem for me at all. I only want you to give us a chance to see where things will go.”
“Yes, this is only our second date; however, I want more and more. I haven’t dated much in the past couple of years, but I want to date you”.
“How about it?” Travis asked, studying her closely. “Do you think you can give me a chance? We can take things as slow or fast as you want it.”
The question hammered at her.
She couldn’t help but wonder if she had enough confidence as Travis when it came to developing this into something deeper. Just the short period of time she had been around Travis, Renee had begun to recognize her own needs. The harder she tried to ignore the truth the more it persisted. She was in total agreement with Travis about giving this a chance between them.
It was an awakening experience that left her reeling, but she was willingly to go through with it to the end. Renee knew there was something special about Travis from the very beginning and it was going to be her time to enjoy what he might bring into her life.
“Travis, I think I can give us a chance,” she finally answered with a huge smile.
“Thank you, sweetheart. I promise to prove to you that age is only a number.” Leaning across the table, Travis gave her a kiss. “How about you take the rest of the day off from work and come by to the camp with me?”
God, she would love to do it, but she still had phone calls to make about the showing. The calls couldn’t be put off any longer. “I wish I could. I really do, but I need to get in touch with some people. Can I get a rain check?”
A quick look of disappointment passed over Travis’ face before he was able to conceal it.
“Okay, I understand. We can meet up later tonight. Let me go and see what is taking so long with our check.” Travis quickly got up from the table making his way back towards the front of the restaurant before Renee could stop him.
Renee spun around in her seat watching as Travis walked past a man sitting at a round table away from them. She noticed how he looked at Travis and then back at her with a frown on his face.
Just great , she thought. Renee wasn’t in the mood for anyone else’s opinions today. She turned her head away from the man hoping he would stop staring in her direction. She didn’t have time to worry about him. Renee had a bigger problem on her hands.
How did she make Travis understand that she did want to spend time with him outside the gallery?
Why did she tell Travis she’d rather make phone calls than spend the day with him? Could she have been any more of an idiot if she tried? Work could wait. The show wasn’t for another couple of weeks. She still had plenty of time to get things in order for what she needed to get done, and what she couldn’t do Cruz would be more than happy to help her with.
So, when Travis came back she would tell him that she changed her mind about spending the day with him.
“Hello, beautiful,” an unfamiliar male voice said interrupting her thoughts.
Looking to her left, Renee sighed under her breath as she locked eyes with a tall, light-skinned black man who had taken an interest in her and Travis. What made him think he could come over her and bother her? What was he up to?
Renee sensed the guy wasn’t going to leave until she talked to him. Anyways, Travis wasn’t that far away, he would be back soon. She wasn’t going to let this guy make her more nervous than she already was.
“Do I know you?” she asked, looking up at the stranger.
The guy shook his head then grinned at her. “No, you don’t, but I’m hoping you might want to. I’m Allan Scott. I’ve been watching you for a while with that young guy. I was hoping he would leave soon so I could come over here and introduce myself.”
Was this guy serious ? Did he really see her on a date with Travis, but still decided to approach her after Travis walked away from
