Welcome to this weeks edition of Tuesday Tales. Last week Jill and Robbie were conversing on the plane where Robbie offered Jill a job. After waiting for their luggage, they waited outside the terminal for a taxi.
MAKE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE OTHER FABULOUS AUTHORS OF TUESDAY TALES
Robbie and Jill shared a taxi. On the way to Jill’s hotel, Robbie asked if she would like
to get a bit to eat since the food on the plane was disgusting. Without
hesitation, Jill said yes, only with the agreement that he’d give her a chance
to check in and freshen up.
Jill got herself settled into her room, before fixing her
hair and touching up her makeup.
On the way down on the elevator, she tried to think of things she could
talk to him about. Was this a date? If it were, she didn’t have a clue on how
to act, what to say. She pinched her leg. Why was she thinking like that? This
was going to be a business meeting.
The restaurant was located on the opposite end of the front
lobby. She walked down the corridor following the scent of garlic into the
restaurant. Robbie sat by the bar. When she caught his gaze, he slid off the
chair and met her at the door.
“I’m glad you came.”
“Why wouldn’t I? When I make commitment, I never go back on
it.”
“Neither do I.” Robbie slid his hand under her elbow and led
her into the restaurant. Once they were seated, Robbie ordered a bottle of
champagne. “Since we are going to
be working together, I thought we would celebrate, get to know each other
better.”
Jill couldn’t take her eyes off the olive skinned stranger.
She had to be sure he meant what he said about the job. “I’d like that. I’d like to hear more
about the job.” More about you.
The waitress came over and placed a basket of bread on the
table and a platter of ziti with basil sauce.
“There’s nothing like discussing business over a plate of
macaroni.” Robbie grinned.
Such a lovely snippet!
