her. John
had been calling her every day, finding out if she was doing okay and
how her day went. She loved talking to him and found that the more
they talked, the closer she felt to him.
    He had
wanted to see her before Friday but no matter how much she had tried
to shift around her schedule she could not make it work. Even though
the weather was cold, people seemed to be choosing the restaurant as
a place to hang out and eat.
    They had
finally settled on Friday night and she had asked her assistant to
cover for her as she would be leaving work at six.
    They
left her mother's house at nine and promised to come by again around
Saturday. Hayley dropped her off at her apartment and Rosa went
inside to try and clean up her apartment. She never got a lot of time
to clean up and even though she was going in at noon tomorrow she was
too wired to go to sleep.
    She had
been so busy over the past years that she had had no time to feel
lonely. But now since she had met John she realized she had been
missing the companionship that came with having a relationship. She
wanted that but she was also afraid of what it entailed, she did not
want what a relationship brings to get in the way of her owning her
own restaurant, she'd had that dream for too long now to let anything
get in the way but she also knew she needed someone in her life. She
was tentatively hoping it would be John.
    *****
    She had
finally settled on an old black dress she'd had in her closet for
ages and she had all but forgotten about it. It was probably out of
style but a friend had told her a long time ago that little black
dresses do not go out of style, they are revitalized, whether that
was true or not Rosa did not know. It smelled slightly of moth balls
and Rosa wrinkled her nose uncertainly. She had bathed and had put on
what little make up she allowed herself in the bathroom and had
pulled the curls and brushed her hair and piled it on top of her head
with the help of styling gel and with a glance at her bedroom clock
she realized that it was almost seven. With a sudden decision she
decided to spray some perfume over it.
    She was
ready by the time he got there and had managed to teem the dress with
a black and gold scarf she had found when she rummaged in one of her
drawers. It was amazing what the scarf had done for the dress and
Rosa took her coat from the hanger as soon as the doorbell rang.
    His eyes
widened as he saw how different she looked. Her small dainty ears had
some big round hoops, big enough to go on his wrist and the way she
did her hair highlighted her high cheekbones. She was stunning.
    “I
am going to be the envy of every man in the restaurant tonight,”
he murmured as he took her hand in his and they headed towards the
car.
    “And
I am sure I am going to have to fight off the women tonight as soon
as we get there,” she teased. He was looking quite handsome in
a blue silk shirt and a charcoal jacket suit. The shirt was opened
slightly at the neck and Rosa caught a glimpse of the hollow of his
throat.
    “They
will be fighting a losing battle because the only woman I need is
right here,” he told her softly as he made sure she was seated
in the passenger side before going to the driver’s seat. He was
doing it again. She thought, her hands trembling slightly as she
tried to secure her seat belt, making her feel things she had thought
was dormant.
    “So
how are you?” he asked her as soon as he had put the car into
drive.
    “I
am great,” she told him settling back against the soft leather
upholstery with a sigh. “It was not very busy today so I did
not have to run around like I am crazy, trying to sort things out.”
    “You
need pampering and I want to be the one to do that,” he told
her in a matter of fact voice, glancing at her briefly before
returning his eyes to the road.
    Rosa
felt her heart slowly picking up the pace but she allowed reality to
settle it down. “ I am a grown woman John and I certainly do
not need a man to
