DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH - Chapter One

Cassi was shocked, she thought I must really be spooked if I let someone get that close without hearing them.The hand easily punched in the combination and opened the door. The man roughly shoved her in to the car. He then preceeded to get in without looking to see if she was out of the way. Cassi decided to scoot over and climb out the passenger door,but the electronic locks would not respond and she stopped trying. She watched him get in, she took note of how conservative he was dressed, charcoal grey shirt and pants, black tie and jacket. Everything looked expensive even his soft suede shoes.He glanced at her and said "where to madam". At first cassi thought his eyes were as dark brown like his thick curly hair but when he turned back to put the key in the ignition the overhead light showed their true color. They were deep blue, the deepest blue cassi had ever seen. Kassi had been thinking that she might talk him into taking her to Manhatten far away from the police. But suddenly he looked so manacing that she thought perhapes she should make a quick exit and take her chances with the police. Before she had a chance to say or do anything he drove off. Kassi said where do you think you are going . Once again he looked at her with eyes as dark as the ocean at midnight. This time there was a smile playing at his lips when he said 'I know where we should be going Police Headquaters". That's when she realized that he had an accent. Maybe he was Brithish or something. They were the only ones she could think of who said "headquarters" instead of station.Perhapes she could bluff her way out of this after all. She'd always thought the Brithish weren't half as smart as they thought they were most of the time. Cassi decided to try the frightened female act, it usually worked with men. She wimpered a little and said I was just trying to find some place to hide, not steal you car some men were following me and I was afraid. He stopped the car at a red light. Then turned sideways in his seat and leaned close and said I don't believe your story for some reason. Perhapes the facts that you are dressed in black from head to toe, and that you had pratically figured out the combination on my car may be stopping.I tell you what instead of taking you to the police I'll take you to dinner.

While Cassi had no desire to see the police she could not phanthom why he would choose to take her to dinner instead,unless .... As if reading her mind he informed her in his proper english ascent ( which seemed to leave no room for objections) that he had no interest in her physically . He was simply tired of being the only unattacted male at all the dinner parties he attended,there by making him a target for certain women Before Cassi could help herself she asked what made him think he was God's gift to women. She was immediately sorry. He leaned towards her again, so close this time she could smell his colon. It was outdoorsy and clean smelling, just how you would expect an english guy to smell . Even though it was not heavy it spoke volumes, everythingh about this guy spoke volumes his dark searching eyes, his well manicured nails, even his breath on her face. Which strangely smelled like strawberries Still leaning close he said well then, what in your opinion cause them to flock to me. With him so close Cassi wanted to say something cleaver she needed to put some well needed distance between them. She could not take this closness much longer. She said the first thing that came to mind " it must be the car, it worked for me". After she said this she smiled to herself, he would have to go else where to get his ego stroked. He made no comment he just turn back to the wheel and drove.They drove in silence fo several minutes. Then she said look,either take me to the police station or let me go but stop playing this cat and mouse game with me.Without even a glance her way he said look lady you brought this on yourself, just be happy you are getting off easy. Just then they pulled up in front of a very posh restaurant.
