    I could hardly believe how beautiful it is out here.  You could see every star in the sky since there are no other lights and I could hear the sounds of the beautiful ocean nearby.  I make my way towards the house.  I knew the guy was successful but I never would have thought he would have a house like this.  I get closer to the house and just have to stop and stare. 
    Right as I am about to get my phone and call Jaci back to pick me up I see a shadow up ahead, it’s him.  My breath stops as he gets closer to me.  Then I see him.  He is even more gorgeous than his picture.  He has such beautiful features, dark as night hair, beautiful green eyes that I could lose myself in, six feet of total perfection standing in front of me in jeans and a black sweater.
    “Ava dear. Breathe.”  I let out a long breath that I hadn’t realized I was still holding but yet I still can’t talk.  I am just frozen which wouldn’t be a surprise standing out here but I am not even cold, just a complete statue.  This man in front of me can’t be interested in me, there is just no way.  He could have any beautiful, tall, blonde chick he wanted.  That is the only type of woman that would look right standing next to him.
    “Ava. Are you Okay?”  I just stare at him but I did manage a
    “I..uh..I..Yes.”  He giggles as he walks up to me and wraps his arms around me for a hug.
    “I have been waiting for this moment for a year.  I am so happy you decided to come over.  I hope you do not feel uncomfortable at my home.”  No, I just feel uncomfortable with how beautiful he is. 
    “Thank you for having me.” 
    “Ah, she talks!” He lets out a laugh again and I can feel myself manage a smile. 
    “Well, come on in Ava my dear. You must be freezing.”  He takes my hand as we begin to walk into the house. 
    Once we walk through the door my heart stops.  The inside is just as lovely as the outside, with a stone fireplace and a fire going, wood floors, cathedral ceilings, there was also a big white couch in the middle of the room that could easily fit ten people, and was that a balcony overlooking the living room? 
    “I would offer you a drink but I’m guessing you have already drank quite a bit to agree to come over here huh?”  John winks at me and I can barely stand it.
    “Actually a lot of it wore off in the car on the way here.”  He hands me a glass of white wine and all I can think is thank goodness it’s not red, now if only I can stop shaking I could drink it.  I follow John over to the couch and sit down.  I have absolutely no idea what to say at this point.  I mean what do you say in these situations?  Take your clothes off and jump me please before you change your mind? He looks at me as if he can read my mind.
    “Ava, just so you know I did not ask to meet you to have sex with you.”  I can tell on his face he is dead serious.
    “Oh?”  That’s all I could manage. 
    “No. Although I would love to, don’t get me wrong but that is not why I wanted to meet you.  I have had strong feelings for you for quite some time and I didn’t know if they were real or just part of a fantasy.  I thought maybe if I met you I would be able to know for sure.  If not then we could part ways and continue being friends.” 
    “And if so?” I wasn’t breathing.
    “Then we’ll go from there.  But I can already tell you it feels real to me.  Breathe Ava.”  I try to let the air trapped in my lungs out but it doesn’t want to go anywhere.  I can’t seem to think at all.  “Why?”
    “What do you mean why?” 
    “Why would a man like you have feelings for me?  I am boring and just normal.  Look at you.  So yes, why?”  He looks at himself then he looks at me or staring is probably a better word for it and his face gets completely serious as he traces my face with his finger. 
    “Because you are unlike any woman I have ever met before.” 
    “John, you barely know
