Between us

I came to New York to make a fresh start.

New city. New job. New life.

I just didn't expect to run into someone behind the bar of one of Manhattan's most expensive restaurants – someone everyone warns me about.

He is confident, provocative, and knows all too well the effect he has on me.

And I know all too well that it is better to avoid men exactly like him.

So, nothing is going to happen between us. At least, that is what I claim. He usually just laughs at that.

Because we both know that what is between us stopped being just an innocent game a long time ago.
