Yes, Mr Knight novel Chapter 5

I was smiling as I looked across the dinner table at Ryan. Things were going well between us-At least in my opinion they were. He seems to be enjoying himself too. He's such a nice guy-He was actually making an effort to get to know me. That usually isn't the case with a man.

Normally they're only interested in one thing!!

"I had no idea that you were a Vegetarian,Jamie. I've always wanted to be one but I've never had the willpower to turn down a good steak."He chuckled lightly.

"Well for me it wasn't hard,I've been a vegetarian since I was 15. It all started with a bet actually."I found myself opening up to him naturally-I didn't even have to think about what to say next. The conversation just flowed.

He raised an eyebrow at me."A bet? This I have to hear-I'm sure this is going to be an interesting story."He sat arms folded on the table and waiting for me to start.

"Well It actually started with my Dad thinking that he was smart,making a bet with me that I couldn't last a week without eating meat."I picked up my wine glass."Obviously he didn't think that I would last,especially not seven years."

"I'm impressed-You sure showed him." Ryan extended his bottled beer forward and tapped it off my glass."Cheers to you for holding strong on that one!"

"I was 15 and I wanted to prove him wrong. I think he knows not to mess with me now."I sipped from my glass and set it back down.I eyed up both desserts as the waitress placed them down in front of us."Do you want to try some?"

"If you don't mind-That brownie looks too fantastic to pass up.I've always been a sucker for the plain cheesecake,it's the only thing I order."Ryan leaned forward and took some brownie off my fork and moaned in delight with how good it tasted.

"It's good right?"I asked him,and then chuckled seeing the look of satisfaction on his face. He's so cute!

Some women might find a predictable guy to be boring-But not me! I like that he's predictable-It means that I'm not in for any surprises along the way. If this goes further than one date that is.

"That chocolate sauce and whipped cream just topped it off!"Ryan moved his plate across the table towards me." Try mine."

Try the strawberry cheesecake. I placed my fork into the cheesecake just taking a little bit. It tasted good but it just wasn't my cup of tea-It isn't a chocolate brownie that's for sure.

"Jamie.."Mr Knight called my name, sending a panic through me. He was walking towards my table-Looking very surprised to see me at the same restaurant.

I stood from my chair,I don't know why but I just did."Mr Knight,Hi!"My cheeks were flushed with embarrassment. I was really hoping that I could have dinner and leave without him seeing me.

"I'm surprised to see you here-At the same restaurant that I'm having my dinner meeting in."He glanced down at the half eaten desert on out table.

"I didn't know that we were coming here."He already knows that we're on a date,yet he decided to approach our table anyway."Um-Ryan,This is my Boss,Mr Knight."

Ryan being the mannerly guy that he is,stood from his chair and shook Mr Knight's hand."It's nice to meet you,Mr Knight."

"There's no need for formalities,Call me Mason.Jamie likes to be professional and call me Mr Knight,I think she just likes the name."He smirked.

What the hell is wrong with that man? He is unbelievably arrogant!!

I only call him Mr Knight because that's what he wanted, that's what he insisted I call him.

I looked over in Ryan's direction as he started to cough-Like really cough.

His face was very red and blotchy and he was wheezing.What the hell is going on?"Ryan-Are you okay?"

"Nuts-Was there nuts in that brownie?" He asked,whilst opening the top two buttons of his plaid shirt.

Oh My God-He has a nut allergy!

I panicked,thinking the worst possible outcome."Um-I don't know.You have nut allergies?"Stupid question going by the state he was in but I asked anyway. I've never had allergies but I know the signs like most people do.

Ryan scratched his face aggressively"I need you to take me to the emergency room,Jamie. Now..Please!!"

Crap-I've been drinking!

"I've already had a full glass of wine. Um-We could get a taxi."I was trying to be responsible and not drive when I've had a drink..But at the same time I didn't want the man to keel over before he even had a chance to give me a kiss goodnight.
