Lahat ng Kabanata ng Taking Her Home: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Rebecca spun around in front of the mirror for the fifth time. She didn’t like anything that she had tried on and she had to leave in ten minutes if she didn't want to be late. The red floral dress with ruffles on the sleeves and bottom of the skirt was going to have to work. The neckline was a V- cut that showed just enough cleavage to be cute but didn’t show too much that Vincent would think that she was trying to look cute just for him. She tied the strings that were on the corset like belt and went in search for the black strappy sandal heels that she had stolen from Joni, they were perfect. Finding them under her bed, she slipped them on and buckled the strap around each ankle and headed for the door.The cab stopped in front of the coffee shop and Rebecca took a deep breath. Why was she nervous? “I don’t know lady, but its $12.75,” said the cab driver. Rebecca realized that she said that out loud and blushed.“Sorry,” she said handing him the money and getting out of the cab. Sh

Vincent felt himself stop breathing the moment Rebecca opened the door. She looked amazing. She looked more than amazing he just didn’t know what the word for it was. Starting at her head, his eyes slowly trailed down her body. The light pink dress that was form fitting to just before her knees, fanned out in large pleats at the bottom. If he remembered correctly his mother and sisters had called it a mermaid dress. He could understand why. Her dress was definitely making her look mythical. The sleeves were lace in the form of flowers from her forearms up to her shoulders where it looked like it may wrap around to her back. He sucked in a breath. It was going to be hard to keep his hands to himself tonight. He adjusted his jacket and looked up at her only to see that she was staring at him and looked to be in deep thought.Rebecca couldn’t believe how he had managed to actually look better than he did the day before when they had met up at the coffee shop. He was standing in front of

Rebecca woke up the next morning to an empty bed and was slightly relieved. She was pretty sure that she wasn’t going to be able to fully sneak out without some sort of awkward interaction with Vincent, but at least she didn’t have to have to endure the whole ‘about last night’ conversation in first thing in the morning. Yawning she sat up and stretched. She looked around his bedroom. It looked the same as it did that night before, maybe even better. The view was just as beautiful. She had always loved the city she grew up in. She didn’t understand when so many people left after graduation. She hadn’t even applied to college’s that weren't in Chicago. She never planned on leaving. Of course, that was before she started sleeping with men she didn’t really know. Depending on how the pending conversation went, she may have to move. Sighing she decided not to procrastinate and just get it over with. Five minutes later she was pulling her heels on and standing up. She walked to the door

The next week, Rebecca went about her days as she usually did. She went to work, hung out with Joni and Tobin, and watched tv and fell asleep on the couch. On her way to work on Tuesday, she felt like someone was watching her, but brushed it off. By Thursday she was almost positive that she was being followed. She saw the same man in the lobby of her apartment building and the lobby at the hospital. She tried her hardest to tell herself that it was just a coincidence. That happened three days in a row. Saturday rolled around Rebecca had a lunch date with Joni and Tobin. After they had all ordered she told them about the weird feelings she had been having. “What if it’s Vincent?” Joni says. Rebecca wasn’t sure if she was worried or she thought it was sweet that he may be stalking her. Joni looked between her two friends who both gave her a look. “What?” she shrugged, “you barely know him. You looked hot the night of the gala. Maybe he got hooked.” Rebecca rolled her eyes and looked

After spending an hour shopping with her mother, Rebecca returned to work. She spent several more hours seeing patients. She was speaking with a woman who was being discharged about her follow up appointment when a nurse came in the room. “Rebecca, someone is here to see you.” Rebecca nodded her head.“Okay I will be there as soon as I finish here,” she told the nurse before turning back to the women. “Miss Sanchez, I need you to get labs done before your appointment next week. Other than that, you are free to go. Just take it easy for the next couple of days,” she finished up before leaving the room.She walked to the nurse's station and looked around looking for who could possibly be there to see her. Her eyes finally landed on Vincent. Her eyes widened in shock. “What the hell is he doing here?” she whispered to herself. “Um... What are you doing here?” She asked him.“I was going to call you, but I was in the area and thought I would see if you had time to talk maybe?” He shoved h
