Out of Time

Madison My best friend and neighbor, Piper, is trying to arrange a blind date for me. I agree because she doesn’t take no as an answer. But why won’t she tell me his name? Anyway, it is just for tonight and I want to have some fun? Liam I managed to stay away from her for years because I’m no good for her. Will I have the strength to keep my hands off her one more time? ******** When Madison left her secure and stable job in the financial industry for an uncertain position within a startup, she regretted nothing. Well almost nothing. She regretted that she will not be seeing her CEO Liam Carver anymore. Liam is a big player both in business and in private affairs. He is a billionaire, always on the move for the next new venture. She knew she was not his type but catching a glimpse of him while he passed through her section on the way to his next meeting, was more than enough to make her day. Three years later Madison has a new life and new friends and life couldn’t be better. But she never forgot the gorgeous looking ex CEO. Liam can’t believe his luck when he discovers that the mysterious neighbor is Madison. She worked for him a few years ago, but that is not the reason why he remembered her. Madison was the most beautiful woman he ever saw and the only one he will not let himself touch. Torn between his inner demon and the desire to see her again, the pull towards her makes him accept Piper’s matchmaking offer to hook him up on this blind date. Well not so blind for him because he exactly knows what he is getting into… Or doesn’t he?

Chapter 34

Evening has settled over the rolling hills, slight residue of light still lingering around the peeks. I take one of the places set for dinner at the huge table facing the big windows. The view is hypnotizing. Liam joins me at the table absently looking at his tablet. I smile at him because he reminds me of me. This is the exact way I'm spending most of my evenings at home. I look back outside.

“Was that an indication that I'm neglecting you?” he asks.

I look back giggling, “if you're talking about me looking at you, God, no.” I touch his hand and he holds it. “I’m overwhelmed by the beauty of this place.”

The chef brings us our food and Liam turns off his tablet. “Too often, I don't even notice it. But you're right.”
