The Road to Price by Justine Elvira Page A

is obvious who is better in the kitchen.
    Competitiveness
aside, I found out what an amazing person Sebastian is and I have completely
fallen for him.
    That is just
another reason why I was practically bouncing in my seat waiting for him to
come meet me in the kitchen. He was finishing up a business call in his office
and then we would be on our way. I didn’t know much about Sea-doo’s but when
Sebastian showed me a picture of one and then told me we would ride together, I
was giddy with joy. I loved anything that gave me an excuse to touch him.
    I would start with
my hands on his chest, and then I would slowly move them to the waste of his
trunk before teasing his-
    Just when my
thoughts were getting away from me Sebastian strode into the kitchen. Holy
crap, he looked good. He was wearing a white short-sleeve polo; khaki shorts,
White gym shoes, and a pair of sunglasses were resting on his head. He could
convince me to do anything looking the way he looked.
    His eyes roamed up
and down my body taking me in. When a smile appeared on his face I was inwardly
happy. A part of me was pleased he liked the way I looked.
    “How was your
phone call?”
    “Boring as usual.
I’m glad I dealt with it because now we won’t have any interruptions when we’re
out on the water.” He reached his hand out to me to help me from the stool,
“You ready to go?”
    I held his hand
and stood up with a smile, “absolutely, I can’t wait!”
    “I love to see you
smile. Your enthusiasm brightens my mood after the phone call I just had.” He
released my hand but I wasn’t ready to lose contact with him just yet.
    I raised my arm
and place my hand on his shoulder while looking directly into his eyes. “Let’s
go old man. I want to get out on the water before you make us come back for an
early bird dinner.” I squeezed his shoulder before letting go and walking
towards the Front doors that led to the driveway.
    Sebastian quickly
caught up and slapped my ass. “Are you ever going to stop calling me old man?
I’m starting to regret telling you my age. Plus, most people consider
thirty-one to be young.”
    I laughed, “I’m
just giving you a hard time old man. You still have a little time before your
eligible for the senior citizens discount.”
    He was pouting
now, actually pouting!
    “Well if you’re
going to be mean I guess I won’t let you use my discount,” Sebastian declared
with a slight smile reappearing to his face.
    “Sebastian, you
have nothing to worry about.  Your age is growing on me,” I said smiling
back at him.
    We walked over to
his Jeep that was already on the driveway waiting for us. He opened the
passenger door and waited for me to get it. Then he jogged over to the driver’s
side to get in the car. Once he was seated I started in on him again.
    “A jeep? What are
you trying to look like your part of the normal folk?”
    He rolled his eyes
and stuck the key in the ignition. “Mia could you stop busting my balls for a
few seconds. I happen to love my jeep. When I drive to the beach, this is what
I drive.”
    The car started,
he put the car in drive, and we were off to the beach. Sebastian had the stereo
on low during the drive and we were both pretty quiet listening to the sounds
of his Mumford & Sons cd playing on the stereo. It was a comfortable
silence. I just enjoyed being in Sebastian’s presence.
    He slowly moved
his right hand from the steering wheel in search for my hand. He intertwined
our fingers and placed them on my lap. His eyes never left the road but I could
see a smile on his face. He was content.
    I, well I was
freaking out inside. His hand in mine felt so amazing, like home, but this was
out of character for him. We have never held hands. While my insides were doing
flips, the outside of me looked happy. Actually, I was happy. This was the
happiest I have been in a long time and I know that has everything to do with
the God like man next to me.
    I haven’t wanted
to get my hopes up that
