Chapter 51: 51- Bitter Reminder

Marissa's heart raced as his warm breath caressed her cheek. She felt a rush of emotions, unsure how to respond to his advances.

Were they really subtle advances or was she imagining it? She kept looking into his eyes and wondered how she survived without those orbs.

"So, what do you say about my suggestion?" He asked her with a knowing glint in his eyes.

"What?" She seemed startled and had completely forgotten what he was talking about.

"Lunch? Remember? That's what we were talking about…" 

Marissa's mind was racing, thinking hard. She could feel conflicting emotions and knew this was not her right to sit and eat with him.

He had been crystal clear about his priorities in life. She didn't want to complicate things in her life any further.
