“Okay,” Matt said. “Let me start over then. Hi, my name is Matt Bradford, and I didn’t really want to go to the bathroom” He said it like he was in one of those “talk about your feelings classes” and Savannah smiled.
“Yeah I figured” Savannah said, the laughter had reached her eyes now, it shone and all Matt could think about was how beautiful her smile was. She laughed again, a rich, throaty, uninhibited sound.
He smiled. Screw it. He thought..
When was the last time he’d had sex? Jeez, he couldn’t remember. It had been a while. While women threw themselves at him, especially because of his financial status, it would be really easy to pick up any woman he wanted. But that just wasn’t the way he was wired. But right now, as he stared at this woman, he was having thoughts. Really wild thoughts. When was the last time he met a woman who made him feel this way? It had been a long time ago… And he definitely wasn’t going to let her go.
She sighed, then nibbled a bit on her lower lip. Damn, but he’d like to see those lips wrapped around his cock. He averted his gaze. It had been a long time since he’d had this kind of reaction to a woman. Not that he was immune to the considerable charms of the ladies he usually met, but this was something unrehearsed. A surprise in a world that held very few. And that was very appealing.
“I wanted to talk to you” Matt continued, “And I am now…. So I wanted to ask, would you like to go out with me sometime?”
“With you?” Savannah repeated, almost like she didn’t hear him clearly. “Like on a date?” she asked.
“Yeah” Matt replied, he couldn’t help his smile. “Exactly… Like a date. You know.. Just the two of us. I can’t seem to be able to get you out of my head, and I don’t usually feel this way about people, so I just felt like I… Like I had to know you”
Savannah shook her head. “Ermm… I don’t know” she said. “I’m usually very busy… And I honestly don’t know if I will have the time” she said.
Matt nodded, still smiling. Then he reached into his jeans pocket and pulled out his card. “Fine. I understand, “he said. “Why don’t you just give me a call then, whenever you are… You know… Less busy.”
“Alright then” Savannah said, and once again flashed him that sexy smile of hers that messed with his insides. She reached out and took the card, which she tucked in her apron.
“Good,” Matt said. “Now that my work is done here, which way did you say the bathroom was again?”
Savannah chuckled, her eyes glittering. “That way. Just don’t get… You know… lost again” she said sarcastically. “And I really should get back to work. It was nice meeting you….” she paused, then added “Matt”
He loved the way his name rolled out her tongue and speaking of names..
“Wait” he said. His hand touched her arm gently, and she turned around. “I didn’t get your name”
“You didn’t ask,” Savannah said. “So I didn’t see any need to tell you”
He grinned. “Okay my bad. I’m sorry. I was really interested in talking to you and asking you out. But from the looks of things, I screwed up and you are probably not planning to call, am I right?” he asked.
Savannah didn’t reply, and her silence gave him his answer.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“Oh!” he said, and lowered his eyes.
“I will call,” Savannah said softly. “And it’s Savannah… My name is Savannah”.
Matt smiled then. “Savvie,” he said. Savoring it as if it were one of the delicious dishes served at the diner. Her name rolling off his tongue as though tasting it. “It’s a lovely name. And it suits you perfectly.”
Her eyes widened, an emotion he would’ve labeled panic flaring in their depths before she lowered her lashes, hiding her gaze from him. “Thank you,”
“You don’t mind me calling you Savvie, do you?” he asked. Even as the question rolled off his tongue, her head tilted back and she stared at him, her lovely eyes looked…hotter. In that moment, he’d stand under a damn balcony and serenade her if she continued looking at him like that. He curled his fingers into his palm, and the only sound that reached his ears was the quick, soft pants breaking on her pretty lips.
As ridiculous as it seemed, he swore each breath slid under his clothes, swept over his skin. He ached to have each moist puff dampen his shoulders, his chest as her fingernails twisted in his hair, dug into his muscles, clinging to him as he drove them both to the point of carnal madness.
“No, I don’t mind at all,” she replied.
They stood there for a few seconds not saying anything, just staring at each other until Savannah said finally, “I really need to get back to work”
“Oh yeah. He said.”See you later”
She nodded and left while he returned to his friends.

What a man!
Part of Savannah’s mind kept buzzing over him even as she carried through her job of serving the customers.
A big man in every sense, she decided-strength, authority, sophistication as well as having a fabulous physique emitting so much male power, her female hormones were leaping around in a frenzy of interest. Definitely a prince of a man, and she would just love to be his princess, she thought dizzily.
She’d caught a glimpse of him coming into the diner with his friends and instantly liked what she saw-very impressive. When he’d settled in the seat with his friends, it had been impossible to resist the impulse to show off to him, like becoming flirty or overly friendly. Which was really silly because he was an absolute stranger with no chance of their meeting ever again, unless he ever came to the diner again and she served him.
