Her Lost Lover

Falling

“Oh lord where are my shoes?” she cried out as she was searching the black bin bags littered in her room.

Just then a pair of shoes were dangled around the corner and her best friend's voice called in “you mean these ones Lana?”

“Damn it Hayley I've been looking for these for 30 mins now”

“Lana you best hurry up you’re going to be late”

It was the first time Lana was going to a work function and she wanted to look her best and make sure she wasn’t going to be late.

Suddenly there was a horn beeping outside.

That was her taxi she went running out nearly tripping on the stairs and dove into the taxi, trying to put her shoes on.

She made it just in time. The party was just about to start. She was rushing t her table when her heel caught on something, and she was falling till she hit something warm and solid. She looked up and blushed. This was so embarrassing. But the eyes that were looking down at her were mesmerising.

This strong figure had saved her she could see his hand rising to her face, was he about to caress her check, oh lord above she had forgotten a clip and he had taken it out.  She lingered a little too long in his arms as he pulled the clip out and chuckled.

“I believe you may have forgotten to take this out” his smile was disarming; her heart was beating so fast he was beautiful.

She managed a meek “thank you” her cheeks were so red. She stood up gave him a slight smile and walked away. She could feel his eyes on her as she walked away, this made her add a little more of a hip sway than normal.

The rest of the party went with out a hitch, well until she was trying to get away from the worlds most handsy man with the conversational skill of a plank of wood. She was trying her best to leave when her knight in shining armour came over.

“Hey Bob, can I steal this wonderful lady for a moment?” flashing her the smile that made her knees go weak. He then placed her hand on her arm to guide her elsewhere before Bob could say anything.

“you looked like you needed saving there, I haven’t properly introduced myself im Nathan.”

She stood there taking in the sight of his tall thick body wrapped in a well fitted Tuxedo. She could see now he was a little older than her, only by the slight greying at the temples and the laughter lines around his eyes that made them seem a little more kind.

She was aware that it took her a little longer to answer him and she could see on his face his amusement of being looked over by her.

“Thank you again, I’m Lana, do you make it a habit saving women Nathan?” she tried to make it light-hearted, but she knew she was biting her lip while still looking him over.

“Only the beautiful ones Lana” he said with a wink.

The wink oh lord the wink! He was charming but maybe he was a little too charming. He was making her heartbeat so fast she couldn’t think about anything else.

“Well, aren’t I a lucky one” she kept her tone playful as she let her hand run down his arm.

He shifted slightly; did she do something wrong? It was almost as if he was catching his breathe. Surprisingly, the gap between them was closing. s**t s**t…. She was struggling to keep her cool and now this handsome man was coming closer to her and oh his hand was around her waist pulling her closer. Could she hear him growl?
