“You cold?”
“No, I was just…” I croaked.
“Just what?” he lifted his brow, his eyes dipping down to my chest.
They flicked back to my eyes then back to the road.
The air shifted, if we didn’t get out of this car soon I wasn’t sure I would be able to stop my hands from reaching over to touch him.
My stomach rolled when we pulled up at the country club. What if they knew that I didn’t belong here? Could they tell just by looking at you?
I’d never been anywhere like this.
“Kay?” I turned in my seat “Come on sweetheart” he extended his hand to me through the open door.
I lifted my shaky hand and let him pull me out of the car.
“You good?” he asked. I couldn’t formulate an answer so I nodded instead as I tried to function in these stupid pumps.
We climbed up the steps and through large wooden doors. I’d never seen anything like it, marble floors so shiny I could see my reflection in them when I looked down. Open fire places wi
th leather chairs and couches place around them filled the room, along with men in suits and women half their age dressed in gowns.
Ty led us to the shiny white desk off to the right, behind it stood a man dressed in a suit only this one had the country club logo on the front.
“Mr. Mackenzie.” He nodded and tapped away at his keyboard.
“Troy,” he nodded back.
“Table for two?”
“Yeah.”
“You know where it is?” Troy stepped back as if to lead us wherever it was we were going.
“I got it” Ty waved him away and led me to the stairs.
“They know you here?” I whispered.
“Yeah.” Ty whispered back and led me to the stairs.
“But I thought…”
“You thought what?” he turned and grinned.
My breath stuttered, one grin and my head was spinning. How could he affect me so much? I held on tighter to his hand afraid that if I let go I would fall.
The restaurant was just as grand as the rest of the place, chandeliers hung from the ceiling. The light dancing and glinting off each of the crystals. A wall of windows looked out onto the golf course it looked beautiful with lights dotted along the green and the main road.
“Your table is ready Mr. Mackenzie” the man said from behind his podium.
We followed him to a table at the back of the room.
“Do you see that?” I said when we were sat down and leaned closer to Ty.
“What?”
“All those lights?” he turned and looked out of the window.
