Enjoying the chase - Chapter 2 (Pic of Rosie)

I paid for the dinner and she smiled gratefully as we walked out. “Thanks for that. That was a nice place,” she said, nodding over her shoulder at the restaurant as we walked down the street to where I’d parked my car.

“Yeah and don’t worry I’ll let you pay next time,” I joked. I noticed she was hugging herself a little against the cold, so I slipped my leather jacket off and put it around her shoulders.

She smiled gratefully and pulled it tighter around her. “Thanks.”

I couldn’t help but smile back at her. She had a beautiful smile, her bottom lip was slightly fuller than her top one making them look so kissable that I could barely stop myself from grabbing her, shoving her against the nearest building, and crashing my mouth to hers.

“Sure. What time’s the next train? Want to get a drink now or something?” I asked hopefully.

She smirked at me. “The flirting’s not working so now you’re moving on to getting me drunk in order to sleep with me, right?”

I laughed. “Sure why not, anything that’s gonna help me get into your pants,” I answered sarcastically, as she stuck out her tongue at me making my dick shift in my jeans. Damn it, I wanted her badly.

“I need to get back,” she said apologetically. She looked a little torn, maybe she wanted to go for a drink with me, or maybe I was just wishing that because she was crushing my ego right now.

“Okay, come on then I’ll drive you to the station,” I said reluctantly.

We reached my car and I went around to my side, immediately cursing myself for not opening her door for her. $hit, I am such a dick at this! Usually the girl would be falling all over me by now, so it didn’t matter if I opened her door for her, or any other thing a gentleman was supposed to do. I had no idea how to be a gentleman at all!

When we pulled up at the station, she shrugged off my jacket and held it out to me. I looked out the windshield, it was pitch black outside, I couldn’t let her walk in on her own.

“I’ll walk you in,” I stated, pushing the jacket back towards her as I got out of the car and headed round to her side. She smiled gratefully as she got out and pulled the jacket back around her shoulders as we walked in silence to the train platform. Luckily, her train was literally about to leave, so she wouldn’t have to wait too long.

We headed over and she got on, turning back to me and passing me the jacket. “Thanks for the dinner, Nate, it was fun.” She smiled.

“Yeah it was. So, do I really not get your number?” I asked, needing to try one last time.

She laughed and shook her head. “Sorry.”

“Okay never mind, but you don’t know what you’re missing out on,” I teased, smirking at her.

“Oh I can imagine. I’m pretty sure I’m missing out on incredible sex, and heartbreak,” she replied, shrugging. “Anyway, thanks for tonight and I guess I’ll see you at Cameron’s Christening.” She turned and walked off heading deeper into the train to find a seat.

I groaned; I’d never failed at anything in my life and I wasn’t about to start now. I heard a beep, signalling that the train doors were about to close, so I shoved my hand in quickly to stop it and pushed it back open, jumping in and letting it shut behind me. I looked back at the door in shock. $hit, what the hell did I do that for? She’s just a girl for f*ck sake! There are plenty more outside and I could easily go and pick up one of them for a little fun on my way home. I sighed as the train started to pull out. Too late to get off now!

I looked down the carriage and spotted her sitting in one of the seats, her head resting back against the seat back, her eyes closed. And damn she looked hot. I smirked and walked up to her. “F*ck me if I’m wrong, but isn’t your name Claire?” I asked.

Her eyes snapped open and she looked at me, clearly shocked, as I sat down in the empty seat next to hers. “What the hell are you doing?” she asked, looking at me like I was crazy.

“Wouldn’t be much of a stalker if I didn’t find out where you lived, would I?” I shrugged, making her laugh.

I guess I was in for a sleepless night now; she lived a couple of hours away so I would be on the damn train for a four hour round trip. I was due to start work for the raid tomorrow at 5am. Stupid stupid Nate, next time think things through before jumping on a train to get a girls attention, stupid asshole. Oh well, I guess making sure she got home safe is worth it. Another bright side; I now have another two hours to convince her to sleep with me.
