| Chapter Six |
| Luis stared at Sheridan with mystery in his eyes. He pondered on why she didn�t ask for his name yet. Maybe it�s best if he remains as a conundrum Could it be possible that she hasn�t figured our that it was him who has sent her these presents not Roberto? When will she discover it? How long can Luis keep his cover? Sheridan opened her eyes and started smiling. �You�re still here?� She smiled. �Yes, I�m still here. Do you want me to leave?� He beamed back. Sheridan held up her hand dismissed of what he�d said. �Not at all.� She finally answered. He curved his lips even more. �When will I see you again?� He persisted. �You would want to see me again? Oh, wow, I feel flattered.� She blushed. �You should . . . say you want to see me again?� He cocked a brow. �I . . . want to see you again.� She finally stated. �Good . . .� He received a phone call from his cellular. �I have to go. I�m due back to work. See you tonight . . . same time, same place.� After he dressed up, he left. Sheridan didn�t even get his name. �Damn, I was about to ask for his name. Who is this charismatic stranger?� She queried. Beth went to see how Luis is doing. Luis is working at his desk, trying to get some paper work done. Beth stood there for like five minutes and Luis finally looked up. �Hey Beth. I didn�t see you there . . . how may I help you?� He wryly replied. �Luis, we need to talk.� Beth crossed her arms. Luis immediately knew he is in trouble. �Beth . . . I . . . can explain. I was caught up with work and I needed to get it done.� Beth intervened and kissed him affectionately. Luis felt guilty for cheating on Beth. His heart inclined for Sheridan. He yearns for her so much. He can�t get enough of her. He�s constantly pursuing to get her to go with him. �Luis, are we going to do something special?� Beth pressed on. �I don�t know, Beth . . .� He seemed indecisive. �Luis, it isn�t so bad . . . after all . . . you owe me.� Beth reminded him. �I sure do.� He responded dryly, hating to not to remember that he does. �But not tonight, tomorrow. I swear . . . Beth, you will have all the attention you deserve.� He ensured her. �How long will that be, Luis? You know, if you don�t want to spend time with me anymore. Just say it!� She is obviously upset. Luis took her in his arms. �Beth, baby, you got to calm down. It�s not what it looks like, okay? I want us to spend time tomorrow. It�s just . . . my mother told me, her money is running a little tight and she tries to fit in as many hours as she can. The doctor told her, she is suffering from exhaustion.� Luis griped. �Oh, I�m sorry, Luis. I didn�t mean to sound like an insensitive bitch.� She felt bad. Luis hushed her with his finger. �Shh. . . Don�t worry about it. You aren�t at fault. Things happen.� He chuckled, trying to lighten Beth up. �You�re right . . . Luis, I�ll see you tomorrow night, then.� Beth sighed apologetically. Luis hated doing this to Beth. He desired to see Sheridan again. For some reason, he can�t seem to contain himself. He needs her to quench his desire. Luis had a high school boy�s grin on his face. Sam startled Luis by his smooth voice that usually doesn�t boom until now. �Luis, what�s got you in a daze?� Sam snickered. �Ha-ha. Very funny, Sam. I�m just thinking about good things.� He shrugged nonchalantly. �Sure . . . you are . . . you�re thinking about Beth.� Sam shook his head and sat at his desk. Luis�s smile disappeared. Why does it always have to be Beth? I�m thinking about my precious, Sheridan Crane. Boy! She�s one fantastic lover! Dirty thoughts transpired into his mind. Not that percolating is a bad thing, something inside Luis makes him crave for Miss Sheridan Crane, what could it be? Her charisma? Being sexy? Luis loves that about her. Although, his killer smile proves something else to other people which they misconceive entirely. Luis heaved a sigh and wandered from his desk to go home. He�s opted to call it a day. Because tonight, Sheridan is going to be all his. Luis whistled and start up his car. Theresa fixed dinner because Pilar instructed her to. Theresa gave Luis a big hug and he smiled somewhat. �Hey sis, what�s cooking?� He snorted. �You think you are so funny, don�t you, Luis?� She sarcastically said. He couldn�t help but to laugh. �Theresa, it�ll be okay, really? You just gotta believe. I apologize to call it a night. I have somewhere I must be and take care . . . you and Miguel both. Love ya.� He kissed her cheek and left her puzzled. �Luis, is going to see her, again.� Theresa could tell by the goofy look on his face. �Good luck, big brother, you�re going to need it more than I do.� She giggled. Luis went to his to take a shower. After his sweet indulgence of his shower. He went to his closet to take out his new suit. Sheridan will appreciate tonight because Luis has something in mind for her that could change everything. Sheridan is nervous and couldn�t stand it anymore, long after her getting dressed to look perfect for her mystery man. She did not stop to think that Roberto would call. He told her that he�ll be in the morning. Sheridan was a little relieved that he isn�t coming back until then. Nothing can spoil their event of fun. Luis arrived there in time and Sheridan noticed something that struck her kind of bizarrely. Luis gave her a dozen of roses which has a card. She�d seen them before . . . but where? Why do they have such familiarity about them that soothes her? She inhaled the seducing scent and placed them on her counter. She smiled and is ready to enjoy their secret rendezvous. Luis is in total awe, every time he gazes at her. Sheridan knows how to turn this hot blooded Latin on. Makes his blood boil with a proscribed passion that can�t be accommodated. Sheridan and Luis trade in looks with compassion and they know what they want to do. Luis and Sheridan went to the Seascape restaurant again. This time, the area is reserved. They wanted some privacy. Sheridan and Luis talked about their significant others. This is the first time they had ever mentioned it. Sheridan couldn�t take it any more after talking about their lovers. She had to know his name. �I�ve been seeing you and now laying with you all of this time and I don�t know your name.� She flustered slightly. A quirky look showed upon his face. �You are very astute, Miss Crane.� He couldn�t ignore it and pulled her closer. �Are you going to tell me your name or not?� She persisted. �All right, I give.� He snickered. �My name�s Luis.� He surrendered. �Luis . . . I love your name.� She said in a dreamy voice. �My name . . .� Luis stopped her before she went any further. �I already know who you are . . .� He intrigued her with his eyes. When his eyes lock into hers, she gets this tingling sensation and she feels that they have met, but where? She wondered how did he know her? It wasn�t possible, surely they have met a couple of times, nevertheless, she hadn�t mentioned her name. Which appeals to her as cryptic. Should she be aware of him or still keep an intimate relation with him? Luis knows that Sheridan�s curious blue eyes finds it astonishing of how he knows her but he wants her to figure it out. Luis romanced her on the dance floor. Sheridan feels secure in his arms. He�s holding her like his Spanish guitar. Sheridan never want to let this man go. He�s so right for her, yet, she�s with Roberto. Roberto is nice and all but he�s nothing like Luis. Luis leaned over to kiss her passionately. Sheridan melted with his savored kisses he has burned to give to her. Sheridan is the woman for him. Sooner or later, he must tell Beth the truth. When? How? All he know is when he�s with Sheridan, he knows what to do, everything makes sense to him, finally. Once he tells Beth the truth, he must do what he has to. He wants to get Sheridan and have her for eternity. No more anticipating. Sheridan will be his to claim. Sheridan studied his face and noticed how everything is perfect of him. From his chisled jaw line, his strong, muscular body. His hazel eyes sweeps her into ecstasy. His smile, oh yes, his smile. So exhilarating and captures any girl�s heart. Luis is suave and knows how to make it right. Sheridan and Luis chose to skip everything else to go back to her cottage. Tonight is their last night, they will ever see each other. Luis gallantly picked her up and walked into hr room. They made a way to get what they want. As he penetrates through her, she screamed for more and he did just that. Luis touched her in so many ways. He intimately made her cry for his warm caress and tenderness. Speaking in tongues with each other all night long. Spellbound on each other, so addicting and thrilling. Luis knows for sure he�s got a hold of her now and forever. |
