“Shoot!” All her required paperwork sat snug in a folder in
the carry-on. Abruptly Eila dropped her carry-on. She mindlessly bent down to
unzip the bag’s front pocket. A push from behind nearly sent her flying to the
floor. Someone caught Eila at the waist and brought her back to her feet. Her
face just missed kissing the mosaic floor.
The grip was firm and steadfast. Eila felt the stranger’s
fingers through the layers of her clothes.
“Hey!” Peeved, Eila pushed herself up, struggling against
the stranger’s lean length. Thoroughly vexed, she swiveled glowering over her
shoulder.
Eila found herself staring into a pair of rapier blue eyes –
the blue so deep, so intense and so mesmerizing that for an instant she was
speechless. The angry sheen in the stranger’s eyes brought Eila back to
reality. Hurriedly, Eila moved away.
“This is a place to stop?” His arrogant tone stung.
“I don’t see a sign
that says otherwise.” The Caucasian man in his late twenties, was tall, well
over six feet. Eila hated that in her sensible traveling pumps she had to look
up at him.
“Common sense!” he barked.
“I had stopped for a reason. And. You, pushed, me.” Eila’s
eyes boldly viewed the horrible man with his sharp straight nose, high
cheekbones and a mouth pulled in grim lines. What an utter waste of good looks!
A red ball on that beak, a multi colored wig on that uncouth head and a red and
white polka dot jumpsuit would do wonders for his personality. Eila tried to
avoid the completely unexpected grin at that sudden thought.
At Eila’s impudent smile, his eyebrows came together as his
chin lowered challengingly. He gave a disparaging glance to her heart-shaped
face, with its dark almond shaped eyes and long thick eyelashes, cheeks plump
around the middle and high at the end and mouth that was small but perfectly
bow-shaped with a fleshy lower lip.
