Read What Happened After Vegas? (Unexpected Love #2) for Free Online

very interesting. What I meant was, if you
were talking to someone else before we started talking, I would
understand. It doesn't mean I would be happy about it. I told you
things about my past that I don't ever talk about."
    "I
know you did. I didn't mean anything when I said someone else. I
would sound like a lunatic if I said you after only one week. You'd
probably run away as fast as you could. I'm just scared to let myself
feel things or open my heart," she said.
    "You
don't think it scares the shit out of me that you're the first person
I've wanted to spend time with in years. I haven't given anyone a
chance since my wife. The same thing could happen to me. I could walk
in from work one day and find that you're not the same woman I
thought you were. I've thought about that more than once already.
There's just something about you that I can't walk away from."
    "I
would never cheat on you, and I would never be fake. I'm upfront and
honest. What you see is what you get. I don't have much to offer in a
relationship. I have a tiny apartment and a job that pays enough for
exactly that. I don't pretend to be someone I'm not. I will never
give up my class and teaching for some high paying job. I even spend
some of my income on the kids. I'm not fancy. My idea of a great
night is ordering food and snuggling on the couch. All I have to
offer is me. When I love, I do it one hundred percent. That's what
scares me. You're the only man I want to take that chance with.
Please don't think you're not. I just don't see how it would work.
You own a damn law firm. So many people count on you every single day
to feed their families. You're a very important man to those people.
Nobody has to count on me. The one person that broke me down piece by
piece worked for you and fucked your sister. There is that crazy
connection. My entire apartment would probably fit in your bathroom.
One of them. Your life is established. I'm just trying to put mine
together and start over from the beginning. Not that I ever had a
house the size of yours. It was just much bigger than what I have
now. He got to keep that and everything else. Believe me, I wouldn't
want to have to deal with him to have it back. It's just I have
nothing to offer you. You probably shouldn't even waste your time on
me, Cliff. You deserve someone that's as accomplished as you are and
knows where they are in life, not someone that made a huge mistake
and is trying to figure out what she's doing with herself."
    "All
I want is honesty. That is one of the most important parts to a
relationship. How can you say that nobody counts on you? Those kids
count on you every single day. Some of them don't have love or
guidance at home. Your job is so much more important than mine. You
give those children love and understanding. You listen to them. I can
tell. When you talk about your class, you are so passionate. You
teach them so many things about life. Your ex was an asshole who
treated you shitty. I'm not him. I'm nothing like him. You're not
starting over because you ran around acting silly. You're starting
over because he was a horrible man. He never should have taken your
home from you. I can't believe I ever let someone like that work for
me. It has definitely made me think about my employees. I will be
careful and pay closer attention from now on. That's for sure. I
don't care how much money you make. What matters is that you're doing
something you love. If you had all the money in the world, would you
still teach those kids?"
    "Yes,"
she answered.
    "That's
what matters. I would never ask you to change that. It doesn't matter
if you live in a huge house or a one room apartment. Your apartment
is not that small. Did I say one thing to make you feel like I was
looking down at your home?" he asked.
    "No,"
she answered.
    "You
are a smart, accomplished, caring, sweet, and beautiful woman. I
don't consider talking to you or spending time with you a waste of
time. I actually look forward to seeing
