�So which one of those ladies are you waiting for?� Jeni asked Ian when they arrived at the bar. Lara spared them a confused look before moving behind the bar.

�Wait let me guess that detective woman, right?� Ian nodded his head.

�You know what I think. You should stop waiting and just go for it. This detective,�

�Her name is Sara.� Ian added.

�Well Sara seems like a no nonsense kind of woman. She has this strong sense of character, will not take shit from anyone. She likes being in control and from her reaction to Lara�s little lecture she doesn�t like it when her control is taken away.� Ian looked over at Lara who only shrugged her shoulders. �You said the opposite of talking is not listening. The opposite of talking is waiting. Well I say stop wasting time by waiting. Make your move and go talk to her.� Jeni stated.

Lara listened to their conversation. �The opposite of taking is not listening its waiting. What the hell are you two talking about?� Both Jeni and Ian turned to Lara amusingly.

�While you were being a dear and mixing up my drink,� Jeni paused, �you know what I don�t even know your name yet.�

�My apologizes Lady Jeni. My name is Ian Nottingham.�

�Well Ian and I were having a conversation. Anyway to make things short I think Ian here likes Sara.�

�Are you kidding? I wouldn�t be surprised if the man wasn�t in love with her.� Lara added. Seeing the utter confusion on his face Lara said, �Like I told you Ian. Its in the eyes, all in the eyes.� Jeni nodded her head in agreement.

Ian stared incredulously between the two women. How is it that after such a short time these two could read him so well? �So are we right? Do you have feelings for Detective Sara Pezzini?� Ian tried to speak but no words were coming out. He lowered his head, averting his eyes. They had caught him completely off guard. A feat that not too many people were able to accomplish. He looked back up and two pairs of eyes stared back at him, waiting for an answer. There was no use in hiding the truth from these two. Ian whispered, �Yes I do care for Sara very much. But I cannot just go up to her and,� he was stuck trying to find the words. �Besides the current situation between us makes it difficult to merely have a conversation.�

�We don�t understand.� Both Jeni and Lara said in unison.

�Sara has this illusion of the kind of person I am. Because of this illusion, she has misconceived some of my intentions in the past. It is truly all complicated. In simple terms Sara absolutely abhors me.�

�Then why don�t you just break away from this illusion and show her the real you. No offenses Ian but stop wallowing in the shadows and embrace the light. Moreover, if this Sara is the light, embrace her. Show her who you really are.�

�What if she does not like what she sees?� Ian whispered. Lara and Jeni at each other. Already knowing what the other was thinking. The man was down right gorgerous. �What�s not to like?�

�Then it just means,� Jeni reached out to cup his cheek, �she doesn�t deserve you.�

�Or it could mean that this Sara person is one blind chick. I mean even we can see the real you and it did not take us long to figure it out. We like the real you, Ian, and I am sure if you gave Sara the chance to see what we do she will like you too. For one night let your inhibitions go.� Ian heeded both Lara and Jeni�s advice.

�Lee would you slow down. What you really have to go this badly?� Sara�s protests were ignored and Lee continued to walk on.

�Lee if you don�t slow down I�m going to trip in these heels and fall flat on my face.� Finally, Lee slowed down and reluctantly let go of Sara�s hand. �Thank you!� Lee turned to her, �Sorry Sara just wanted the chance to talk to you.�

�What you couldn�t find a more subtle way to grab my attention?� Sara checked her dress making sure nothing was �falling� out after Lee had so roughly pulled her away. �So what�s so important you had to literally drag me away?�

�Its about that Damien guy.�

�Yeah, what about him. I thought we were hitting it off pretty good.�

�I know it�s just that he�s not what he seems. Vicki and I got some interesting info about him and believe it wasn�t good.

�Who told you this?�

�Jeni and Lara.�

�The waitresses?� Sara�s eyebrows shot up. Lee nodded her head. Sara could see the concern look on Lee�s face. �Look Lee don�t worry I can take care of myself. I am a cop you know. I can handle a guy like Damien.�

�I know you can take care of yourself but I just don�t to see you hurt again.� Lee did not mention a name but Sara knew she was referring to Daniel. It was hard at first but she was moving on.

�Is that all you wanted to tell me. To warn me about this guy?� Sara questioned.

�Yeah, pretty much. Oh, there was one other thing. Lara actually told us who was responsible for taking care of our drinks.�

�You mean it wasn�t Damien.�

Lee shook her head, �Nope, it was that guy at the bar.�

�You mean the one with the fine ass?� Sara said amusingly.

�That�s the one and,� Lee looked over Sara�s shoulder, �If you turn around right now you can get a nice full view of his backside.� Without hesitation, Sara whirled around wanting to catch a glimpse. Lee was right Sara had a very nice view from where they stood. Mr. Ass was leaning against the counter and it looked like he was in full conversation with those waitresses, Jeni and Lara. Sara held her breath as he straightened up and was about to turn around. Now she was going to see if his backside looked as good as his front but Lee had better ideas.

�Okay, now I really have to go. Come on Sara.� Lee grabbed Sara�s hand, this time dragging her to the ladies room.

�No, no, no, wait! I want to...� Sara craned her neck, wanting to see the identity of the mysterious man. But the bustle of people around were in her way and she was unable to see him
