Free Man of Mystery by L.B. Wilde Page A

starts to blush, damn she really is going to have to remember this song and find out who the artist is, knowing this tune but so completely dislodged when she is around Nathan.  He comes back to the table and takes her hand, “May I have this dance?”
    Blushing and smiling because this is obviously not a place you normally dance as she complies. He takes her hand, they make their way gracefully under his guidance around the tables and dance to the slow music gosh she is really going to have this music in her head forever , people start to look at them as they make a dance floor in the general area and the waiters watch them with a smile.  Nathans keeps looking into her eyes as she looks into his melting away no longer caring about the scene they are making by dancing in front of people who are just here for the food.  All eyes are on them but not caring, this is their moment in time.
    The song ends, he takes her hand in his and places a soft kiss on the back of her hand as he takes a bow in front of her.  The restaurant occupants as well as the staff applaud making her suddenly aware about the scene but Nathan makes a gracious hand shake over his head like he was a person from dancing with the stars and leads her into a bow of appreciation for the applause. She would never have done anything like this public display ever and it was exhilarating.  Her eyes are scanning the crowd who are sitting eating and enjoying their meal but appreciating the romance that they just witnessed.  Most of them are so thrilled to see this simple sign of affection while she can see the glimpse of jealousy in several women’s eyes wishing they had someone who would be so affectionate and bold.
    We return to our seat slightly breathless. The waiter has returned and smiles brightly at us.  “You two have really made this a night to remember.  We have never seen too more people in love who would show it so much in public.  Thank you for sharing your special night with us.  Even the chief came out to watch you two and he wants to let you know dinner is on the house. Thank You for joining us this evening!” Oh my, she has never done anything like this before but it was really fun.  Nathan tells the waiter it’s not necessary to put our dinner on the house but he states the chief insists.  So, as Nathan puts it you never argue with the chief he still leaves a hefty amount of a tip to make sure all the staff gets something even down to the bus boys.
    We get up to leave and as we pass by a few couples, they smile and acknowledge us with grateful smiles and polite words.  This is kind of weird for her, she has never experienced this ever, this man is so different and she really likes this . We get outside and he pulls me in for a sweet embrace, “So when do I get to have this much fun again my I ask?” He asks her as he plants a small kiss on her lips.
    “Well, we can talk more tomorrow, this has been a wonderful day and I’ll let you know my schedule.  My free time is your free time!” she replies playfully.
    We only have a short trip to her apartment and most of the time we just keep smiling at each other and relive our day that we wish would never end.  We pull up to the apartment he leans over; his kiss is so passionate and wanting as much as hers.  We break away breathless and she gazes into his eyes. “I’ll call or text you tomorrow, I have to get some kind of sleep or I’ll never function, my dreams will be with you.” telling him sweetly.
    “And mine with you, thank you for a being you and giving me something to believe in.” He says softly.
    He watches her walk into the apartment and she is puzzled over his last words but her head is still in a cloud. Her mystery man is Nathan and he just gave her the most precious day in her entire life.  What could possibly be wrong with that?  Her dreams tonight will only be of him and our day together.  Feeling she will relive it for the rest of her life and nothing in this
