yet.”
“Yet? Are you saying that you are becoming a hockey fan?” I felt my face get red.
“You know,” he said in a low voice as he leaned in closer, “you are beautiful when you blush.” I felt his thumb glide over my cheek ever so gently. Yep, I am going to have to take a cold shower .
“Since this night isn’t going on like I planned it. Why don’t you pick what to do next? We could go to the bar and chat or go to my room and watch a movie. Your pick?”
Alone with Lucas in his room was going to throw me into a panic attack, but we would not be able to talk in a bar. I saw that the restaurant was not going to be open much longer. Don’t panic. What would Fun-Sara do?
Going to his room didn’t mean sex. Lucas didn’t seem to be putting off those vibes to me. I did want to spend more time with him. Fun-Sara has been alone with a guy before.
“But if you are tired, I under-,”
I cut him off by standing, “A movie sounds great.” I smiled. Yes, I can do this.
“Great.” He stood up and we headed out of the restaurant. He remembered that I didn’t take elevators and went straight for the stairs.
“Sorry about being on the twelfth floor,” he stated as we began climbing the stairs.
“No, I am sorry that I don’t take elevators.”
“No biggie. So, you never told me how you got my number?” Lucas asked.
“Oh, my legal assistant was able to obtain it. She is remarkable when it comes to research,” That was an understatement. Charity was the best. That girl could find any person, code, or statue in the land without a problem. When I asked her about finding Lucas’ number, she accepted the challenge. I was a little surprised that she was able to find it and she never really told me how.
“She must be really good to get my number. I thought I had it completely protected.” I giggled.
“Legal assistants have their talents.”
Our conversation felt so easy. I was happy when we were walking up the stairs and he was holding my hand.
“What time do you all leave in the morning?” I asked trying to keep the conversation going.
“Not until nine AM. You?”
“We leave at eleven AM.”
There was silence as we reached his room but it was not uncomfortable. Lucas opened the door and I went in to find that he was in a suite.
“Do you stay in rooms like this al l the time?” I looked wide-eyed.
“Absolutely not,” he laughed. “The whole team stays on the same floor, but they ran out of rooms. So, I got the suite, lucky me, eh?”
I sat on the couch and he walked over to grab the remote. He sat right next to me and we quickly agreed on a movie. Well, I just agreed because I knew that I was not going to be paying attention to anything on that TV. Lucas was so close to me that I could smell his cologne and it was making me weak in the knees. Thank the stars I am sitting down. Come on, Fun-Sara you can do this. Think about how happy you were when Charity gave you his number.
“I hear that hockey players don’t have all their teeth. Are yours real?” I blurted out. Yeah, those crazy stamps are back!
Lucas laughed. “Surprising ly, yes I do have all my teeth. I am one of the few though, that is for sure.”
“ Broken a lot bones?”
“A few , nothing that kept me out too terribly long, though. What about you? Do you have all your teeth and are your bones intact?” I felt myself stiffen. Should I say anything? I know he can see my scars, but he has not said anything. I am a sucky liar .
“My teeth are real. I’ve had a few broken bones.” I just didn’t go into details and hoped that he wouldn’t either.
“Really, I didn’t take you as the adventurous type.”
“Um, I had an accident. That is where the broken bones came from.”
I can hear Rachel yelling at me in my head right now for calling it an “accident”.
“Oh, I am so sorry.” He rubbed the top of my hand again. I just nodded. I could feel tears coming. Stop! I am Fun-Sara right now .
