Layers – Chapter 1 Page 6
It suddenly occurred to Greg that he was in an extremely precarious situation. Here he was, eating breakfast with the most erotic woman he had ever seen, and she tells him that he had disclosed in detail his complete life story to her the night prior.
Furthermore, she says his life is in real danger, and that she is prepared to help. She admits to being on speaking terms with the kingpin of what he understood to be the Russian Mafia. And finally, it became quite obvious to him that in Paula was not to be found a woman of even the minutest amount of naivete. On the contrary, he was dealing with an extremely sophisticated and experienced knock-out beauty. He now began looking at her through a completely new pair of lenses.
Paula immediately sensed this change in Greg’s perception. He had made himself very vulnerable, and she was going to have to tread lightly. She knew that from here on end, if there was to be any future for their relationship, barely in it’s infancy, she would have to change her mindset in his company. And although she knew it would probably be the toughest assignment she had ever taken upon herself, she could and would do it. She considered herself a woman with an iron will, who, when she put her mind to any endeavor, had the capacity to prevail.
The waitress brought their main courses, and they ate it’s entirety amidst complete silence, lost in their own thoughts and calculations.
Greg knew that Paula was dangerous. But he also sensed that her feelings towards him were somehow genuine. But why? He was not lacking in self confidence, being a very handsome, charming and successful man. It was just too easy, he thought. Was she being truthful with him concerning the danger she said he was now in, or was there some ulterior motive at work here. Could he trust himself in believing she truly felt something for him, or was it just wishful thinking. This was a woman who could most certainly have any man she desired. He knew he wanted her in the worst way, and would have to be careful to the extreme in his dealings with her until he felt secure that her motives were for his well being.
They finished their meal, and Paula told Greg that she thought it best if she made some calls from a public phone booth. They walked, no longer hand in hand, a few city blocks until they located one.
