“Is that so? And him being such a great person has put that dreamy lovesick look in your eyes?”
“What are you talking about? We had fun. And believe it or not, we actually left my apartment too.”
“How did you two hook up, anyway?”
Alana went into the entire story of her returning home from running with Sofie and their meeting. Sofie listened, entranced by the story. Finally, she shared with Sofie their morning together and their goodbye.
“That’s it?” Sofie exclaimed. “Just a see you later and have a great day at work?”
“I guess. I didn’t want to seem like a clingy woman. I knew what I was getting into.” Alana finished her meal and sat back. The waitress stopped by their table to check on them before leaving their check. “One night turned into a weekend.”
“ You said he never has the same woman over.”
“I did.” Alana’s stomach clenched at Sofie’s words. She was now officially a notch in his belt, along with all the other women who paraded into his life. She hadn’t even thought about what their relationship would be like now that they’d had sex.
Would she see him in the hall and wave as he walked past with another woman?
Her heart rate spiked at the thought.
She didn’t know if she could go through seeing countless women go in and out of his apartment.
“Are you all right, Alana?”
Blinking, she offered Sofie a smile, trying to play it cool. “Yeah, I am.”
Sofie didn’t look convinced.
“I’ll be fine. People have one-night stands all the time. I got a weekend.”
London knew Alana’s routine. From his short stint as a stalker, he knew what time she would arrive home. On his way home from the office, he had picked up a large pizza.
Glancing down at his watch, he saw it was time for his girl.
When did she become his girl?
The second he took her out on his private boat.
He’d never taken a woman who wasn’t related to him out on Lake Erie, particularly on his boat. Yes, his company owned a yacht for entertaining, but that was for business.
London jogged into his kitchen and took the pizza box out. Snatching his keys and phone from the counter, and headed out into the hallway, wanting to surprise Alana with dinner when she arrived home.
Stepping out into the hallway, he shut his door and waited. Within minutes, he heard the ding of the elevator stopping on their floor.
Moments later, he was rewarded with the sight of Alana walking toward her apartment.
“Welcome home.”
He grinned at her shocked expression.
“What are you doing out here?” she asked as she drew closer. Today she was sporting a pair of oversized black-rimmed glasses, her hair pulled back into a low ponytail. She was dressed in a cheetah print blouse and black skirt, with matching cheetah Chucks.
Alana was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her sense of style fit her. She was different from anyone he’d ever been with, and that was probably why he was drawn to her.
His entire day at work was wasted because he couldn’t stop thinking about her.
He’d always had a rule of one night with women, but when it came to Alana, one night wasn’t enough.
“I did promise you pizza.” He motioned to the box he was carrying. “I was hungry when I left work and figured I’d pick up a bite to eat for the both of us.”
