Chapter 13: A Whisper of Desire
Mia's heart was still fluttering from the dinner date with Alexander. She couldn't believe how much she had enjoyed his company, how much she had felt a connection with him.
As she drifted off to sleep, she couldn't shake the feeling that Alexander had left her with. It was as if his presence still lingered in the air, his eyes still locked on hers.
Just as she was starting to fall asleep, her phone buzzed softly on her nightstand. It was a text from Alexander.
"I couldn't stop thinking about you tonight," he wrote. "Would you like to see me again tomorrow?"
Mia's heart skipped a beat as she read the message. She couldn't believe that Alexander was thinking about her, that he wanted to see her again so soon.
She hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should say yes. But then she thought about how much she had enjoyed his company, how much she had felt a connection with him.
"Yes, I'd love to," she wrote back, her fingers trembling slightly as she typed out the words.
Alexander responded immediately. "I'll pick you up at 7 pm tomorrow," he wrote. "And Mia?"
"Yes?" she replied, her heart pounding in her chest.
"I couldn't stop thinking about your smile tonight," he wrote. "I think I might be falling for you."
Mia's heart skipped a beat as she read the message. She couldn't believe that Alexander was feeling the same way she was.
As she drifted off to sleep, Mia couldn't help but wonder what the future held for her and Alexander. Would they be able to make their relationship work, or would it ultimately end in heartbreak?
Only time would tell, but for now, Mia was just going to enjoy the ride.
