Walking back into work on Monday has the same butterflies in my stomach as last week. This week, though, they’re there for a different reason.
Levi spent the whole weekend texting me. After our date, I was half in love with him, but then spending the whole weekend texting with him and smiling over his sweet words, and now I’m pretty sure that I’m completely in love with him.
I was this close to going and looking at dogs with him, but Lila wasn’t feeling well, and I couldn’t leave her. He seemed to respect that when I told him on Saturday morning that I would be staying home all weekend, but I could tell he was disappointed.
I was a little disappointed, too.
He’s just so darn sweet and charming. I’ve never had anyone pay me as much attention as he does. It’s like he’s fascinated with me. It’s like he’s in love with me too.
That can’t be right, though. Why would a handsome billionaire, who is sweet, funny, and charming, fall for someone like me?
Why hasn’t anyone else snatched him up yet?
He told me on our date that he was busy with work and studies in college, but surely there must have been some time to date.
I head back to my desk, and I’m not surprised at all to see that Levi is already in his own office. He smiles and jumps to his feet when he sees me, hurrying out to greet me.
“Morning,” he says, pulling me into his arms and dropping a kiss on my lips before I can react. “I missed you.”
“You sent me messages all weekend,” I remind him with a laugh.
“It’s not the same as being with you.”
I set my purse down on my desk, trying to hide my smile, and that’s when I spot the gorgeous bouquet on the corner of my desk.
“What are those for?” I whisper.
I’m not even sure why I’m whispering; it just comes out that way.
“For you. They look almost as beautiful as you do, and I just knew you needed to have them.”
My heart flips over in my chest, and I bite my bottom lip. This is what I’m talking about. How am I supposed to not fall for him when he says things like that?
“You didn’t have to do that,” I tell him quietly, and he smiles.
“I wanted to.”
“Well, thank you. They’re gorgeous.”
“You’re welcome,” he says, dropping another quick kiss on my lips.
He makes it seem so natural like we’ve been a couple for years instead of only meeting a week ago.
“I have a meeting, and need to run upstairs and check in with Theo and Adrien this morning. I’ll be back to take you out to lunch, though,” he tells me.
“Okay. Do you need me to do anything specific in the meantime?”
“No, just get caught up on emails and all of that from this weekend.”
“Got it, boss,” I tell him, and he smiles, squeezing my hand as he heads out to his meeting.
I take a seat at my desk, smiling as I admire the bouquet of roses and baby’s-breath. I’ll have to bring them home. I can’t wait to show them to Lila. Maybe they’ll brighten her day like they did mine.
We spent the weekend talking about him and weighing the pros and cons of getting closer to him. Lila is all in favor of me seeing where this goes. She wants me to be happy. The problem is that I need this job in order to keep her alive, and I really, really, want to keep her alive.
“Getting settled in here?” A girl asks and I look up to see her leaning against the wall that separates Levi and me from the rest of the office.
