Something did not seem right. I went back to the table and finished eating. Mr. Wilson asked if I was ready to go home. I stated that I was ready. He was a gentleman and got my coat. He whispered something in my ear that I could not hear. I asked him again what he said, and he said never mind. I guess it wasn't important. He got the door for me to his mustang, and I hopped in. He asked for my address, but I let him know I was going to Steph’s house. It was a quick ride since Steph lives two long blocks from the club. He got out of the car and walked me to the door. He tried to kiss me, but I went inside. I heard him say sorry under his breath.
