Train Me Daddy

But the fact that Neil wrote a letter and there seems to be the bond that they both lost a long time ago slowly rebuilding their relationship. The way that I hoped when I set them up on the task.

“Good morning gentlemen,” I say as I walk through the door.

“Good morning Olivia,” Isaac smiles at me. He does look completely different from when I first met him. It’s as if he’s been working out or something. I’m distracted as I can see his biceps through his shirt and I wonder if he looks completely different underneath from what I remember. To say that I miss him is an understatement.

I remember him telling Neil that he loves me and would marry me i

n time. I remember smiling about that, but then the realization that they’d made a pact together tore me apart.

“Good morning Olivia,” Neil says indifferently. I think that he’s nervous about my appearance.

“I read your letter, Neil.”

“What letter?” Isaac asks, “I didn’t know that you knew where she lived?” His question is directed at Neil who shakes his head, “I don’t. I just left it with Autumn.”

“Ah,” Isaac says as the penny drops.

I shut the door and say, “I was thinking that if you’re not busy we could go to breakfast?” I ask Isaac and then Neil says, “He only has one appointment at eleven. He has time for that.”

I’m about to ask Neil, but I’m really hurt by what he did. I need time before I can forgive him with open arms.

“In that case I’m free,” Isaac nods his head.

“Cool, because I know this great little bakery. They have all types of croissants and cookies.”

“Sounds like my kind of place,” he says as he comes closer towards me. I want to back away, but between his moody scent and his black suit, which always melts me I find it hard. I just know that I’m not about to give in. Not in a hurry.

“Well, if you’re taking me out to breakfast then you better be paying. You see if I have this assistant who comes into the office whenever she feels like it, and she demanded that I pay her to double the going rate.”

“Maybe you should sack her.”

He presses his lips against mine, “Maybe I will. But for now, you’re taking me out for breakfast.”

Then I take his hand and lead him out of his office. As we stop at the desk, which is supposed to be mine. Neil’s sitting there, and I smile at him, “Maybe next week if you’re free then you can join us.”

He nods his head, “That’ll be fun.”

Isaac says, “But she’s still paying.”

Then I loop my arm around his, and as we enter the elevator it’s empty, and I know as much as I’m trying hard to get. It’s not going to work with Isaac. Especially when I feel as if I’m kidding myself. We’ve had our time apart, but I want a relationship that’s built on trust. He’s going to have to earn it. Whether he likes it or not.

Three months later…

Epilogue

Olivia

The touch of Isaac’s warm skin awakens me. I feel the afterglow of last night. Isaac’s damn hot in bed. I lie looking at the rays of morning sunlight shining through the curtains at a spot on the floor, thinking that I could stay in bed all day. Of course, I know that isn’t going to happen. Isaac has marketing people to meet. We have to return to Houston. I don’t want to, because I would love to spend the whole day in bed. The way that we’ve been accustomed to doing on the odd weekend.

Isaac raises his head and glances at me.

“How long have you been awake? I thought you were still sleeping.”

“Not long, but I could stay in bed all day the way I am feeling. I thought that you were sleeping too.”

“Olivia, I need to go in later. But after we can spend time together.”

“I know I just feel lazy.”
