process. 
     
    Twenty
minutes later, I pulled up along the curb under the Space Needle and set my
feet back on the ground. "This is where we get off," I said over
my shoulder. 
     
    Audrey
dismounted gracefully as I turned off the ignition. Then I removed my helmet
and lifted my head towards one of the young valets on duty. 
     
    "You
know how to drive this thing?" I asked. 
     
    "I
do," he said, eyeing the bike. 
     
    "Great,"
I said, handing him the keys. Then I reached in my pocket for some folded notes
and slipped them to him. "And find a safe place for our helmets so we
don't have to carry them around, yeah?"
     
    He
nodded eagerly, almost too eagerly to the point that I was worried he was going
to go all Ferris Bueller with my rental, but I was too distracted by Audrey
flipping her head over and shaking her fingers through her hair to care.
     
    When
she realized I was watching her, she put her hand on her cocked hip and
smiled. 
     
    I
pursed my lips and looked at her spontaneous bed head, craving her with ever
bone in my body as I reached for her helmet. 
     
    She
handed it to me and I grabbed the strap, handing both helmets to the valet and
thanking him. 
     
    "The
Space Needle, huh?" she said. 
     
    "I've
never been," I said. 
     
    "Me
neither."
     
    "What?!"
     
    She
shrugged. "I know, but you know how it is when you live somewhere. You
always think you'll have time and then you just keep putting it off."
     
    "Looks
like I'm not the only one who's full of surprises."
     
    She
slid her hand in my hooked arm as I led her inside. 
     
    "I've
heard good things about the restaurant," I said. 
     
    "Apparently
it spins, too."
     
    "Hopefully
not enough to spill our drinks." 
     
    "Why?
Are you trying to get me drunk?" she asked, pressing the elevator button. 
     
    I
shrugged. "I’m willing to try anything that might make you find me more
witty and charming."
     
    She
smiled and batted her eyelashes, twisting the shell on her necklace in her
fingers.
     
    I
tried to put the fact that I wouldn't be able to put my hands on her for
several hours out of my mind, reminding myself that there was plenty of time
for that. 
     
    After
all, I didn't come this far just to sleep with her.
     
     
     

Chapter
9: Audrey
     
     
     
    As
I rode to the top of the Space Needle with Jack, I was having an out of body
experience. I don't know if it was the way he looked in his crisp white button
up shirt or the fact that I knew what was underneath it, but my heart was like
a butterfly in my chest and it was hard to keep from smiling at him like an
idiot.
     
    Especially
since he kept smiling at me, too, making my insides clench with enthusiasm over
and over. 
     
    The
last guy I sort of went out with was Emmett, and he never took me to dinner. We
only ever went to lunch at cafe's, usually with coworkers. We did stop for
Chinese to go cartons on the way home from an office party once, but I was
pretty sure I treated. 
     
    And
the guy before him took me to dinner a few times, but never anywhere fancier
than standard American family style restaurants, the kind of places where they
spoiled you by letting you fill up on stale chips. 
     
    And
now I was going to one of the fanciest restaurants in town with the most
amazing guy ever. 
     
    Meanwhile,
Jack was acting super casual, like he hadn't just crossed an ocean to feed and
fuck me. 
     
    I
couldn't decide if I was the luckiest girl in the world or if I should start
preparing myself for the hurt I was going to feel when this fairy tale was all
over. 
     
    "Two
for Quinn," Jack said to the maitre'd when we stepped off the
elevator. 
     
    "Right
this way Mr. and Mrs. Quinn," the man in black said with a smile as he
turned on his heels. 
     
    I
tried not to let my flinch show on the outside since it was an honest mistake,
but Audrey Quinn did have a nice ring to it. 
     
    Maybe
Jack and I didn't seem so ridiculous together after all. I mean, we obviously
passed as a
