“Morning,” I say as I start to set the food out on the little table.
“Hmph,” she groans, dragging the pillow over her eyes, and I grin.
She’s so cute.
“Are you hungry? I just got back from the diner down the street. I got a bit of everything.”
“Ugh,” she grumbles as she rolls into a sitting position and scrubs her hands down her face.
Her black hair is mussed and she pats it down, trying to tame the long locks.
“What time is it?” She asks, her voice raspy from sleep.
“Just after nine-thirty.”
“Shit,” she hisses, throwing the blankets off as she climbs out of bed. “I need to go.”
“Have something to eat first. I wanted to talk to you about something.”
“I don’t have time.”
“Just a few minutes,” I counter, and she shakes her head.
She grabs her shoes and tugs them on. I grab some of the takeout containers and stuff them back into the bag.
“Let me talk while I drive you back to your car,” I say, and she relents.
“Fine. Let’s go.”
She’s out the door, and I’m right on her heels.
“I have an offer for you,” I start.
“Yeah, I know, and I’ve already rejected your offer a few times,” she snaps as we jog down the stairs.
“A different kind of offer.”
She pauses, a blush flaming to life on her cheeks, and then she turns on me, glaring up at me.
“I’m not sleeping with you for money!” She yells, and I hold my hands up.
“That wasn’t my offer,” I rush to assure her. “I wouldn’t, I… I wouldn’t pay for sex.”
She turns back around and stomps over to my car. I unlock it and open the door for her. She doesn’t say anything as she slides into the car. I pass her the takeout bag and she sets it between her feet.
It’s obvious that she doesn’t trust me. I don’t blame her, but I desperately need to change that.
I climb behind the wheel and start the car.
“So, my offer,” I start.
She rolls her eyes, then turns to watch me warily.
“Go out with me—three times—” I rush to say before she can yell at me. “Go out with me three times, get to know me, give me a chance, and I’ll give you a million dollars.”
Her mouth drops open, and I smile. I certainly have her attention now.
“A million dollars for three dates?” She states, and I nod.
