Sleeping Face

Yeah, he would expect 'that', wouldn't he?

Marcella didn't say anything. Her experiences with men in the past were not all good. Talking about it is different from doing it. She needs to take that extra step of courage; a leap of faith, to be precise. She needs to prepare herself.

She could only hope Tony would give her a good first experience. He talks big. But is he different from other men?

Tony could see the confusion return to her face. He thought that she was feeling different about him after the hot kiss they shared in the bathroom. But maybe he pushed too far.

"I'll leave now. By the way, I've noted my contact numbers in the diary beside the telephone. You don't have to travel here and there. If you need something, call me. I'll make arrangements. Remember, you are not alone in this," he said.

Marcella walked him to the door. "I have the keys. Sleep well," he kissed her cheek.

Marcella nodded with a smile. She locked the door as soon as he left.
