need a ride or anything?” he asked, looking back up at me.
    “Sure, I still don’t have a car. My assistant gave me a lift to your office earlier.” I answered, giving him way too much information.
    “Where are you staying?” he asked a bit rushed.
    “The Double Tree Inn.” I answered.
    “I know where it is. Come on, I’ll drop you off.” Landon replied heading out, and I followed. I’d given him my number, to keep in contact before he dropped me off.

    I waited outsid e of the cozy restaurant for my date. After handling the business from the unexpected phone call I had earlier, I had called Tessa. Even though I was emotionally and physically drained, I didn’t want her to think I wasn’t serious about this whole “dating” thing. I wasn’t going to lie, I was a bit nervous. This could’ve possibly been “the one”. The thought sounded funny, so I laughed out loud. I’m sure I must’ve looked a bit crazy because a few people turned their heads to stare at me.
    I was dressed in a gray button up, and a black loose tie. But I had on a dressy pair of slacks and expensive shoes. This was my almost casual look, I guess you could say. Looking at my watch, I saw that I was a bit early. The table had already been ready inside; all I had to do was wait for my date.
    “Landon?” I heard a voice ask behind me. The voice had a hint of a southern accent, and I dreaded turning around.
    Biting the bullet, I did. I half expected to see an unkempt farm girl, but to my surprise, she was pretty. Just as Tessa had said, her hair was strawberry blonde, and she was no more than 5’8. I wasn’t one to go for blondes, but what was I going to do? I had to roll with the punches. But, if I did have a pick, I’d go with someone with dark locks, like Tessa’s. Her hair was perfect. It was something I would’ve loved to get lost in.
    “Hi.” I smiled, handing her the red rose I had brought.
    “Pretty.” She smiled back, and I saw she had a pretty smile, but it was nothing like Tessa’s. “My name’s Colby Lynn, but you can call me Colby.”
    Oh yeah, sh e was definitely from the south, and I didn’t have much experience with her type. This was going to be an interesting night.
    “Nice to meet you, Colby.” I replied, giving her a quick hug.
    I opened the door for her, and the hostess immediately seated us. Needless to say, all eyes were on us until we got to the private table. I was thankful that Tessa had set it up that way. With my status, being on a date with everyone watching would’ve been nerve wrecking.
    “I assume you already know who I am, and what I do. So, how old are you, and what do you do for a living?” I asked her, breaking the ice.
    “I’m twenty two, and I’m still in school. I actually graduate in a few months.” She smiled.
    “What do you study?” I asked curiously.
    “Nursing, I want to maybe be a doctor one day.” She explained.
    “Maybe?” I asked, raising a brow.
    “Well I’m pretty squeamish around blood, so I’m not too sure.” She chuckled, and I nodded with a smile.
    “What do you do for fun, Landon?” Colby asked.
    “Fun? Me?” I chuckled at the thought. “I work for fun.”
    “Oh come on.” She replied, twirling her hair around her finger. “Everyone has a hobby.”
    “I don’t have time for a hobby.” I answered, truthfully.
    “Nothing?” she asked, w ith her accent ever so present.
    Shaking my head, I peeked through the menu as the waitress returned. She was a blonde, and her name tag read ‘Brooke’.
    “Can I get you two, something to drink?” she asked.
    “I’ll have a red wine.” Colby insisted, and my eyes slid up to her. I wasn’t expecting to hear that, but it showed me she had expensive taste.
    “I’ll take a Mountain Dew.” I smiled brightly at the waitress.
    “Red wine, and Mountain Dew coming right up.” She smiled, giving me a wink. I tried to act like I didn’t see her as I turned my attention
