Chapter  17

“Once again we would like to wish Miss Lizzie & Sir Ernest a happy 40th anniversary! Thank you again for picking Elspeth’s Café for you monuments celebration!”

    On our way out from a wonderful breakfast I cant help but over hear the announcement from the table just in-front of us, I admire the couple from where I stand.

“Beautiful isn’t it?” 

    I turn to see an unexpected face, Tory is standing there were Deimos just was. 

    “Yes., It must be wonderful to have someone like that.., Just imagine it spending every moment of your like with the one you love!” Tory smiles at my word’s while watching the older couple with me.

“That is a wonderful thought for sure…., Not that I’ve found someone to do that type of thing with yet.”

    Troy says with a chuckle, I can’t help but keep my eyes on the older couple to the point the I don’t even look when I hear Deimos return from the restroom.

“Are you two enjoying creeping out the poor couple that is just trying to enjoy their cake?”

    Deimoes word’s jolt both me and Tory to our senses.

“Sorry Boss..,”

    Troy is the first to speak, I however waver for a moment before fully taking my eyes away from them. I want to remember how there feces look…, The emotion behind there eyes! 

“Lana…,”

    The voice on my right was almost a whisper.

“It’s time to go.”

    He is too close! So close in fact that I can feel his hot breathe on the back of my neck.

    Tilting my head lightly I come face to face with Deimos, Our faces are only inches apart.

“Are you ready to leave or is there something else you would like me to get you?”

    In this moment I can feel my heard flutter a little. 

    “No…, I’m ready…. To go.” My word’s are slow to leave my mouth., But the moment has already passed. Deimos has already pulled his face away, He he has left an outstretched hand to me.. I pause for a moment before taking it.., As I do I get this tingling sensation on the back of my neck. Did I get a chill? How though its not cold here.., I feel a nervousness in my chest.

“After you”

    Tory hold’s the door open for us, I shake off the feeling and we leave. 

    After dropping me off at my car we said a quick goodbye as Tory received a call on our way back that they had to rush to talk car of, I stood there for a moment watching them drive off.

    A little part of me did not want to see him leave….

    But there are things I need to take care of at home, There is much work that need to be finished! Gathering myself I get into my care and head home.

    Arriving at the parking garage I rush out of the car and up to my apartment, I throw off my shoes and change into my comfy apartment cloths.

    I put on some water for tea, Then head straight to my desk to start working. After some time of work on a few of the action panels I come to the next few, These one I have been some what dreading! 

    I have to draw the man lead seducing the female lead who is an undercover cop, I start by sketching out some different random sketches.

    Somehow I remember the feeling from earlier today, His breath on the back of my neck. The nerves flutter I felt, When I looked back down at what I was drawing was exactly what I was picturing in my mind that exact moment. “This is perfect!” If anything the fire of my imagination had been stoked with the flame of some new emotion….., I want assign meaning to it yet.

    I need to be sure before I give myself a heart attack! I continue working as my mind is racing. But I’m not only thinking about my work…, But.., Him. 

    I shake my head I need o focus if I’m going to hit my dead line! I suddenly hear my phone vibrate. It then when I realize I never took my phone out of my bad, Walking over to my front door where I leave my bag on a hook I rummage though it in such of my phone.

    The first message one the screen is from Deimos! 

    Deimos: I had a wonderful time with you this       

   morning. So did Troy, He wanted me to add that… I 

  hope you had a good time too. I would like to do it 

  again soon, Have a good night. 

    That was sweet of him, It’s funny that Tory wanted to be included too. 

    Lana: I did have a wonderful time! And Those were     

   the best pancakes I have ever had! Thank you again 

   for taking me there… And it would be wonderful to do   

  it again! Have a good night as well!! ;)

    I feel hot…, I should probably make some dinner… I get up and head to the kitchen, Rolling up my sleeves I ready myself to to start cooking.
