On and on and on the questions spilled, a horrifying barrage of curiosity and excited faces. My jaw dropped and I stood completely still. I wasn’t completely sure if this was really happening or if it was all just a really bad dream, induced by the stress I felt after my craptastic date.
Rich chuckled beside me as the crowd parted and a well-dressed and handsome man came through.
Tearing my eyes from the stranger who was quickly approaching me, I turned to Rich and raised an eyebrow in question.
His wide grin looked like it hurt and I took that as a confession that he knew this was going to happen. “What the hell, Rich? What is going on?”
Through his fit of laughter, Rich explained, “You were all over the news this morning. That show you put on last night apparently got people interested and there was live video feed that showed the reporters waiting outside our building. I’m sorry. I’ll admit it. I knew they were down here.” He could barely get the words out because he was laughing so hard.
I turned back to the crowd and blinked at the chaos that was happening right in front of me.
The stranger I’d seen earlier pulled his hand out from behind his back and offered it to me as soon as he stepped inside the building.
“Ms. Taylor?”
“Uhhh, yes…” I stammered. “My name is Jane, but…” I didn’t know what to say and finally I blurt out, “What in the hell is going on here?”
The stranger smiled a brilliant grin and got down on one bended knee in front of me. Taking my hand, he looked up and said, “Jane. My name is Vincent Baxter. I’m a prominent attorney in the area and I saw you on the news this morning. I was so impressed with your…display…that I looked up your personal ad in the paper. I have to admit, I’m curious.”
My breath caught in my chest and I almost fainted.
“What I’m trying to say is: Jane, I would like to take you on your next date. I am your standard romance lawyer.”
The End….for now.
