HIS LEADING LADY
“Here’s for your cab. You’re one hot chick.” Darvin and
Tiffany stood up together. “I’ll see you on the field, Davis. Better watch your
back…bro.” Sweetwater laughed as he and Tiffany left the restaurant.
Penny twirled the twenty dollar bill in her hand. Her
gaze dropped to her hands then up to her water glass. She folded, unfolded and
refolded the bill.Oh my God. She’s
afraid of me.
“Hey, look. Do whatever makes you comfortable,” Mark
said, resting his hand on hers lightly for only a moment.She jumped, fear evident in her eyes.
“I’m not going to hurt you, try to take advantage of
you…anything. I’m a regular guy. I’ve got a sister. I like women, respect ‘em.”Penny continued to twist the twenty in her hands. “I’d
better go.” “If that’s what you want. But I’m going to have another
cup of coffee and I was considering dessert.”Penny turned frightened eyes on him as she began to
stand up.She looks like a
deer caught in the headlights. Make her feel safe, you idiot!
“No, no, real dessert. I hear they have great hot fudge
here. How about splitting a hot fudge sundae with me? Three scoops – all your
choice. Or you can catch a taxi if that makes you feel safer.”
Penny sat down and blew out a breath. “I love hot fudge.
How did you know?”“Everybody loves hot fudge, especially me.” He smiled at
her and signaled to the waitress who came over right away. She rattled off six
flavors of ice cream.
“You choose,” Mark said, gesturing to her with his hand.“I like ‘em all.”“Hmm, let’s see. Mint chip for sure, vanilla and how
about coffee?” She turned to look at Mark.

A sexy athlete and a hot fudge sundae? What woman wouldn`t stay?!
Great stuff as always, Jean.
Here I am trying to keep to healthy food choices and you go an put up a photo like that!
Your offering was pretty tasty, too.
Great scene and love how he got her to relax
Good for him! Sheesh, his teammate is an arrogant bastard...but I'm glad she didn't run!!
I think there's some sparks in their future, if he can keep her from bolting. Which it looks like he had just the right trick. Great scene!
What did I miss? Why is she afraid of him?
But I love the scene ... Hot fudge .... yummy :-)
yum!! Sounds like a delightful idea. Hot guy, cold ice cream.
