"I take it that is my cue to leave you alone but not before I ask you something." Jordan sighed heavily and said, "What Mr. Nichols?" His smile faded. "My name is Andy." He informed her politely before continuing. "There is a great little market place just down the beach a ways. I thought that maybe I could meet you here say around ten o'clock in the morning and stroll down the beach to a wonderful little restaurant for some brunch. We could spend the rest of the day shopping and seeing some of the other sights that the island has to offer." She smiled. "Boy you just don't give up, do you?" He returned her smile. "No! I see something that I like or want and I attain it." Looking at the floor for a moment before answering she sighed again. "Well I'm sorry Mr. Nichols, but this time you will have to live with attaining only rejection." she had called him Mr. Nichols again and enunciated it for emphasis. He knew that he was getting under her skin by her refusal to call him Andy and a chuckle lit up his even features causing a small exasperated look from her." What is so funny?" She demanded getting even more irritated with him. He simply turned around and said "Good-night Jordan. See you tomorrow." She rolled her eyes. "I doubt it." She stated to his retreating back; closing the door safely behind him and latching it securely. A small smile touched her lips.
