The Prettiest Woman

“But you shouldn’t have to.”

“I’m not about to have this conversation with you before I go.”

“Whatever, you just remember what I said. Rock his world.”

“Bye Jessica.” I kissed her on the cheek, grabbed my suitcase and headed for the door.

The driver was at the front gate when I got there and he immediately took my bags.

“Good afternoon ma’am.” he said with a smile. He was really cute. I had to remind myself not to flirt because it wouldn’t have been appropriate.

“Hello and good afternoon to you, as well.”

He held the door open for me and I looked in and saw that Vincent was in the car, “What a pleasant surprise.”

“I skipped my last meeting. I wanted us to go to the airport together, I hope you don’t mind.”

“Well I planned on stretching out back here. So you’ve kind of ruined that for me.” I joked.

“You can still stretch out. That’s what my lap is for. You tired?”

“I’m used to it. I’m just happy to be here with you.”

“Come here.” he said with his arm outstretched to me.

I sat really close to him and rested my head on his shoulder. He kissed me on the top of my head and laced his fingers through mine. I’d missed him far too much for a person that I had only gone out on one date with. I needed a reality check, but I was content to live in my dream world for as long as I could. Vincent was my sweet escape and I wasn’t going to ruin our weekend by bringing up money. That’s what a part of me was thinking but I would be lying if I said that Jessica’s words weren’t ringing through my head. However, I wanted to enjoy the weekend and worry about the rest later. Whatever the case, it was going to be a learning experience for me.

“I’d like to introduce you to Roxanne.” Vincent said to someone in the banquet hall of the swanky hotel.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Roxanne.” the gentleman said with a little glimmer in his eye. I could tell he thought I was attractive. The feeling wasn’t mutual but that didn’t matter, anyway. I was with Vincent and I wasn’t interested in meeting anyone else.

“Doug has gone in with me on a couple of my big deals.” Vincent disclosed.

I felt gorgeous in the floor-length royal blue gown I was wearing. It hugged my curves, but it still was extremely classy. My hair was swept up with tendrils free falling around my neck and face. Jessica taught me how to do the style. It was quick, easy and really sexy.

“This is my wife Sandra.” Doug said. I looked at the beautiful woman that was standing next to him and smiled at her. She returned the pleasant smile and the two men began to talk.

“I’m actually headed to the ladies' room.” Sandra said, “Would you like to come with?”

“Sure, I don’t mind.” I replied. I looked at Vincent and he gave an approving nod. Once again, I thought of what Jessica said. I guess she was partially corre

ct.

“So how long have the two of you been together?” Sandra asked. Normally I would have been a little upset at people prying in my business. But nothing seemed vindictive or mean about what she asked. She wasn’t throwing salt; she was simply making conversation.

“Not that long, our relationship is still pretty new.”

“Wow and he brought you here? Nice, I haven’t seen him out with anyone since his ex-wife. You must be pretty special. You’ve got a good one, honest.” she smiled.

“I’m sure you have the same.”

“He’s alright.” she winked.

“So where are you from?”

“Me and Doug live in Houston.”
