Meet Drew and Becca in..
Something More (Snippet #1...UNEDITED)
by Jenna Tyler
Just as we are about
to pay our checks and head back to our apartment complex, the door to the bar
opens. In walks, no other than, 'Mr. Tall Water'. I flush immediately. My stomach tightens and I get a little shaky
inside.
Alyssa looks at me
with concern. "Are you okay?" A moment passes and I reply, "Uh.
Yea." She looks puzzled. I try to
offer up some words to ease her, but I am speechless.
I look down at the
table nervously, but not before catching him glance at me as he walks through
to take a seat at the bar. Suddenly I feel a heat run through my body.
"This is so
strange," whispering so low that Alyssa can't make out what I've said.
Phew. I look up at her and then my eyes dart over to the stranger again and see
that he is full on staring at me. My eyes flash back to Alyssa. "Are you
sure you are okay?" she asks.
"Yea. It's just
that guy over there," nodding in his direction. "I've seen him almost
every day when I've gone out since the day I met you at the bookstore. Now he's
staring at me and I feel..." I trail off.
I feel like taking his fine ass right here in the middle of the
bar and making him scream my name, is what I feel. Good
gravy this guy has the most erotic effect on me and he's never even spoken a
word to me.
Alyssa calls me back
to reality, snapping her fingers. "Bec!
Hello? Are you back on this planet now?
Would you like to finish your sentence?" She chuckles. I huff out a breath, coming out of my reverie.
Still flushed I say,
"Uh yea. Where was I?" We
chuckle again together.
"You were saying
that delicious looking man over there, that is still staring at you, makes you
feel...?"
"Oh right. Well
you can see what he does to my thought process. And now he's actually looking
at me with a wickedness that makes my body feel like it's on fire."
Her mouth falls open
as if she can't believe I just shared that information with her. Honestly, I can't believe I did either. We just met after all.
Maybe she knows who he
is. I ask, "Have you ever seen him
before?"
"Yes, I see him
around here and there. He's all over the newspapers and tv. He's some kind of
high and mighty business mogul. I don't know exactly what he does though."
"Do you mind if
we stay for just one more drink?" Alyssa replies excitedly, "Of
course not! I want to see what this is all about." We giggle. She calls the waitress over and we order
another round of drinks. Alyssa gets a
buttery nipple this time too.
My drink disappears
quite a bit faster with my nerves all wound up in a tight little ball.
Alyssa has been keeping me informed of 'Mr. Tall Water's' actions. He is still at the bar watching me and only having drinks.

"Man, my dreams
should be spectacular tonight. This is the longest I've been in his presence. I
might have to take care of...some things
before I go to sleep tonight," I murmur. Alyssa's eyebrows shoot up.
"Oops. I have to
learn to filter my thoughts before I blurt them out to new people." She looks at me with an 'Oh please' smirk.
"Us single ladies
gotta do what we gotta do. No shame in it. At least he's smokin' hot and will
do....uh...your dreams justice." We
both laugh loudly and notice everyone look in our direction. Oops again.
We pay our bills and I
excuse myself to go to the restroom, even though our apartment complex is just
around the corner. I didn't want to feel
rushed to get there just to go to the bathroom.
As I walk past him to
get to the restroom, I take a quick glance at him. Damn, he's so gorgeous. One
corner of my mouth lifts into a half smile.
Once I make sure I
look decent and don't have toilet paper sticking out of my pants or stuck to a
shoe, I sling open the door to head back out into the bar.
I walk out, and slam
right into a hard body. "Oomf,"
I hear.
"Oh my God, I'm
so sorry!" I exclaim.
The hit made me
stammer back a little and then the restroom door swings back, hitting me in the
ass. This launches me forward again.
A little unstable, I
catch myself. This time before smacking
into the hard body again. I am all up in his personal space though.
A hand shoots out to
grab my arm to help steady me. The fire that bloomed over my body from the
light touch was overwhelming.
"Jesus, I'm such
a klutz. I'm so sorry...again," I apologize, as I look up to see who I've
embarrassed myself in front of. Twice in a matter of seconds.
Oh. My. God. I am staring up into a set of mesmerizing,
deep blue eyes. Like the color of the
deep Caribbean waters as seen from an airplane.
My knees start to feel
a little shaky. "I...I should've
paid more attention to where I was going," I try to say without sounding like an idiot.
Then the most calming,
sexiest voice enters my ears.
"Please don't
worry about me. It was my fault. Although
the door hitting you from behind, I would have to say, was all you," he
jokes.
A sexy chuckle comes
out of this beautiful man. I give a
breathy little laugh, still hypnotized by his eyes. My insides are shivering
and my core is at attention. This feeling is un-fucking-believable.
"So embarrassing," I whisper. He grins, embarrassing me further. "It wasn't too bad. Could've been worse." Thinking about that a moment, I could've fallen and busted my ass. "Yes, I guess you are right."

He sticks out his
hand, "Drew Chambers, by the way." Automatically taking his hand, I
reply, "Becca Michaels."
Great snippet! Can't wait for the whole thing. ;)
