blues bar. They were listening to rhythm and
blues music, some of her favorite. “Let’s go inside!” Regina exclaimed as she
pulled his arm to go inside.
    The place was dark
except for a few lights here and there and a bunch of people were talking over
at the bar as they walked more into the depth of the club. The music was
blaring from speakers towering on either side of the stage where a band was
playing while the crowd in front of them were either shouting or dancing.
    “I haven’t heard a live
blues band in ages. Do you like the blues?” Regina asked while she tried to
find them a seat somewhere.
    “I don’t listen to much
blues, more into a little bit of everything else.”
    She smiled back at him before
spotting a table in a dark corner of the room. Squeezing through some people,
they made their way over to the table and sat down. “I love the blues. My dad
used to play it all the time when he worked at his shop, he was a carpenter. He
always had his little radio playing some blues music and sometimes we would
dance around. It was so much fun.” They continued sitting there while the band
played on and once they had finished their song, the club erupted with
applause.
    “Thank you everybody
for coming out tonight. Right now we want to bring out our soulful siren on the
microphone to slow it down for us this evening and get everybody in the mood,
so welcome to the stage, Ms. Lona Hill,” said the man who had finished his set.
Again the crowd started to shout and applaud while an older looking lady in a
sequined red dress came over and gave the man a hug and peck on the cheek, then
smiled at the crowd as she grabbed the microphone.
    “Thank you ladies and
gentleman, I want to thank you for having me here tonight at the Hole in the
Wall. Now, I want everybody to get on the dance floor with your special someone
and let me take you on a romantic trip that will set your spirits free.” And
with that she started to sing as some of the patrons grabbed someone and
started to sway.
    Collin got up and took
her hand to her surprise and led her toward the floor. He quickly pulled her in
his arms and at that moment, Regina knew that she was in love with this man.
There was no denying it whatsoever, she thought while his hand rested on the
curve of her back. His fingers entwined with hers and she found herself gulping
when she looked up into those green eyes of his that stared down at her,
searching her face. Regina wondered what he might have been thinking as he
looked at her. Honestly she didn’t want to know, all that mattered to her was
the fact that she was out with an amazingly handsome man.
    He nuzzled against her
ever so softly. God, he felt so good holding her, so strong yet warm and
inviting as Regina inhaled his cologne. Never in a million years did she think
she would have feelings like this for a man, especially a man like Collin
Noonan. He was basically every woman’s dream, attractive, successful and yet
here she was being held by such a man. Regina didn’t want to know why she was
so lucky, she was just going to close her eyes and enjoy the moment as the
songstress sang her song. They swayed softly together on that old wooden floor
until closing time.
    When they got outside, the
midnight air was chilly and the shawl Regina had along her shoulders wasn’t much
help. “Here, take my jacket,” Collin told her as he took it off and wrapped it
around her shoulders.
    “Thank you,” Regina
replied softly as he continued to hold his jacket around her shoulders as they
walked back to the restaurant parking lot before the valet left. They got into
his car and drove home.
    After they pulled into
the parking lot of her apartment complex, Collin got out of the car, opened her
door and helped her out. As she rummaged through her purse fumbling for her
keys, she still wore his jacket, and honestly, she didn’t want to take it off. Before
she unlocked her door, Regina turned to see him standing right in front of
