“Mine call me Andy.”

“That’s not nearly as impressive as Anderson,” I said.

“Then by all means call me Anderson.”

“I don’t think there’s going to be any point.”

“I disagree. Tell me Rena, are you in an exclusive relationship?”

The question thrilled me because I knew he shared my interest. “Why do you ask?”

“Why do you think I’m asking?”

I’d never dated a white man before but the thought of going out with him excited me. “No. I’m not in an exclusive relationship,” I finally admitted.

“Good. Now wouldn’t you like to ask me to stay for dinner?”

Seated next to him food was the last thing on my mind. “No. I wouldn’t.”

“Ok. Would you like to come out to dinner with me?”

I parted my lips.

He pressed a finger against my mouth. “Let me guess. No. You wouldn’t? Right?”

I leaned away from his finger without kissing it. “Right.”

He laughed and stood up. “Point taken. I’ll see myself out.” He smiled and walked towards the door.

Are you insane? Why are you letting him walk away?
“Wait a minute.”

He turned to smile at me. “Changed your mind already?”

“No.”

“Then?”

“Are you married?”

He shook his head and held up his bare left hand.

But he surely had a woman or women in his life.

“Anything else?” he asked, his gaze lingering on my breasts.

Yes. Would you like to fuck me?
With my cheeks burning at my thoughts, I shook my head.

After a last glance at my breasts, he walked out of the living room.

My breasts are large and natural and I’ve always been a push over for a man who enjoyed looking at them. I got up and followed him into the foyer. “Is there a special woman in your life?”

There was a noticeable pause before he leaned against the door, staring at me. “I’m not married or engaged.”

“But there is someone special?”

He sighed. “Depends what you mean by special.”

“Do you two live together?”

“No.”

“But you have an exclusive relationship?”

“I don’t think she’s seeing anyone else but that’s her choice. She’s as free to date anyone she wants to without any explanation to me as I am to see you. I don’t owe her any particular exclusivity and she doesn’t owe me any.”

I shook my head. Men.

“She knows I reserve the right to date anyone I want.”

Charming. “And you do—knowing how she feels about you?”

“I’m not now nor have I ever pretended to be in love with her and—”

“Does she love you?”

“I doubt it. Look, I’m single and free to see who I like. And I’d like to see you.”

 And I sure as well wanted to see him. There was no reason why I shouldn’t as long as I didn’t lose sight of the fact that I wouldn’t be the only woman he was seeing. The thought didn’t sit well with me until I decided to look on a possible relationship with him as a meaningless fling.

He pushed himself away from the door to come stand in front of me. He brushed a hand against the back of my cheek.

I clenched my teeth in an effort to conceal the jolt I felt at his light touch.

“This is much ado about nothing. My relationship with her has always been causal.”

“So you’re in the market for another meaningless relationship with me?”

He allowed his hand to drop to his side. “What I’m not in the market for is having my ass dragged over the fire for something that’s none of your concern. I don’t have any emotional or moral obligations that make my seeing you an issue. I’ve made it clear I’d like to see you. If you’re not interested, that’s your privilege. Good night.” He opened the door and left.

I sighed.
You handled that well–not! A man like him doesn’t have to beg for dates. He won’t ask you out again. I hope you’re happy.
