“Okay,” she said, out of excuses to give.
“Will you go out with me?”
“My mom will kill me if I said no, so yes, I will.”
She seemed to realize we were standing so closely that our bodies could almost touch; I dipped my face slowly towards hers and she took a small step back. I couldn’t put my finger on what it was about her that had me mesmerized. I’d dated plenty of models, some younger and more beautiful, but she seemed different from the rest. I made a mental note to have Jane pull any information she could find about her and her mother.
She turned to go inside, and I caught her arm, pulling her against me.You are not leaving me until I say so.
“You haven’t told me your name,” I rasped. She stared into my green eyes as I brought my head down to hers, blocking out the light.
“My name is Angelique Delavigne. Enjoy the rest of your evening.” She stepped quickly to the side, trying to gather her scattered thoughts as she walked into the hall to find her mother’s table.
I watched her retreating figure, smiling to myself. It was time to chase.
