“The girls think he’s kept his apartment for booty-calls.”
“For sure.”
I frown. “You think?”
“Eliza, have you seen how gorgeous that man is?”
“Yes. I saw him naked just the other day.”
“Oh my God… and?”
I exhale heavily, that’s private between him and I, the term packing heat runs naked through my mind. “No comment.”
She laughs. “That means its too good to elaborate on.”
I chuckle. “I’m going.”
“Come on, more info.” She teases.
“Goodbye.”
“Have fun on your date.”
“We both know I won’t.”
“Maybe you need a hot one night stand. Fuck Nathan out of your system, so to speak.”
I giggle. “Maybe. Bye.” I hang up before she can try and talk me into having sex with Samuel. That is not happening.
It’s Monday night, and the buzzer sounds at my door. I close my eyes. Here goes nothing.
I’m going to try and let Samuel down gently. I’m just not feeling it.
“Coming down,” I say into the intercom.
“Okay.”
I take the elevator, and with my heart beating hard in my chest, I walk out of my building. Samuel is waiting near the doors, and he smiles when he sees me.
“You look beautiful.”
“Thanks.” Oh crap, please don’t be nice.
He takes my hand. “Let’s go.”
Nathan
I sit at my desk and stare at my computer. I don’t know if I’ve ever felt like this before. I’m so wound up about everything, my head feels like it’s about to explode.
A voice comes through the intercom. “Dr. Mercer, have you finished dictating for me?”
“No, Maria. I haven’t.”
“If you want me to finish the reports today, sir, I really need to get on it. I’m running out of time and feeling pressured.”
“I am well aware, Maria,” I bark. “Stop micromanaging me.” I push the button with force. Fuck…they piss me off out there.
Knock, knock, sounds at the door. I roll my eyes. “Yes!” I call.
