Chapter 11

Lisa

She could not understand why she was so nervous in front of him or why he made her heart beat so fast.

Lisa almost broke the champagne bottle as she struggled to force it out of the wedge it had been arranged into.

She only stopped struggling with it when she noticed that Richard was watching her with a weird smile on his face.

"Do you need help with that?", he asked softly and Lisa hurriedly shook her head in the negative but Richard was already up and moving towards her, his eyes on the price.

He put his hands around her, as though he wanted to pull her close for a completely different reason and Lisa immediately stilled, thinking of how she would hit him if he did touch her.

But the touch never came, it was just an opened bottle of champagne being pushed into her hands, Lisa was strangely disappointed.
