two-twenty-one. Don’t tell her I told you.”
    “You are a sweetheart, Nikki. Here, have another drink on me
and I’ll make sure Jett gets a chance to meet you.”
    “You’re great. Are you sure you don’t want some hot sex?”
    “Positive. I’m too old for you.” Ian kissed the top of her
head and walked away. Samantha Stevens, Stevens. “I know that Stevens
name from somewhere, but where?” Sighing hopelessly, Ian went to his room in a
funk.

Chapter Three
     
     
    Nervously, Sam kept checking her reflection in the mirror to
make sure she presented the ‘right’ image as if she knew what image she wanted.
She wore a navy blue suit, a white silk blouse with a v-neckline. The jacket
hung long over her short skirt. Sam wore a long silver necklace with matching
earrings and a silver watch. Her hair draped down round her face and lightly brushed
with curls. Her makeup had been done tastefully with just a touch of mascara
and a nude color lipstick. Sam knew that Jett wasn’t tall, so she wore only two
inch heels. Jordan wasn’t that tall, either, and being around women taller than
him always bothered him. Okay, time for D-Day. Sam walked to the elevator and
took it down to the Lobby where she had been instructed to meet the limo driver
just inside the reception area. She scanned the crowd and didn’t see anyone who
resembled a limo driver, so she took a seat. As she watched the crowd, she saw
the Greek God walk into the area. Her heart skipped a beat and she prayed that
he wouldn’t notice her. Maybe if she didn’t pay attention and looked the other
way, he wouldn't notice her. Sam positioned herself so that her back faced him
and she stared at the potted plants in the corner. When she looked up at the
paintings on the wall, Sam could still keep an eye on him through the glass
reflection. Ian had dressed casually in long shorts, a Hawaiian theme shirt and
wore flip-flops. He carried a large circular tube under his arm which Samantha presumed
were blue prints. He scowled and he glanced at his watch. His eyes went to the
door and he headed right towards where Sam sat. Sam bent down to flick an
imaginary speck of dirt from her shoe, her hair falling down hiding her face.
Didn’t work. Ian smiled as he sauntered up to greet Sam.
    “You didn’t show up last night,” pointed out Ian.
    “I had other plans, sorry.” Sam smiled to be pleasant, but
her heart wouldn’t stop pounding in her chest. She had never been this nervous
with a man.
    “Too bad, you missed a good time. Or so I think.” Ian smiled
when Sam rolled her eyes. “I didn’t mean that how it sounds. I’ll start over. Name’s
Ian. Ian Andrews.” He held out his hand.
    “Samantha Stevens,” murmured Sam as she shook his hand. His
hand felt strong and firm. Sam blushed as she thought of his hands over her
body. Now where did that come from? She shook herself mentally trying to get a
grip. His hazel eyes had her totally captivated.
    “Samantha Stevens.” Ian shook his head, not letting go of
her hand. “You know, that name sounds awfully familiar. And you look familiar.”
He stared at her intently.
    “Well, according to my family, there’s only one of me. Maybe
I have a cosmic twin somewhere in the universe.” Sam reluctantly let go of his
hand.
    “I can tell you’re not from around here,” commented Ian
trying to place her accent. “New York?”
    “No, Chicago.” Sam felt uncomfortable as Ian stared a hole
into her. “You’re from around here?”
    “Born and raised in San Diego, but I live in Maui now.” Ian
had taken a seat next to Sam.
    “I’ve never been to Hawaii. Maybe one of these days,”
commented Sam.
    “It’s a great place to live. Surfing there is out of this
world, and you can easily try one of the other islands. Do you surf?”
    “I’m from the Midwest. There’s no ocean; only Lake Michigan,”
laughed Sam. “I’ve never even swam in an ocean.”
    Sam's remark threw Ian a curve because he had never
