Jane had worked for me for the last four years. She was a godsend. Not only did I love her, but my parents and friends did as well. She did everything for me and quickly became part of my family.

“Good morning, Lia,” I spoke as I walked past my secretary’s desk.

“Welcome back, Drew. How was Hawaii?”

“It was nice. Thank you. If Jess calls, don’t put her through. We’re over,” I spoke as she followed me into my office.

“Oh. Okay. I left some papers on your desk that you need to sign. You also have a meeting in thirty minutes to look over the new software proposal.”

I sighed. “I know.”

“Anything else?” she asked.

“No. That’s all.”

Sitting at my desk, I leaned back in my chair and picked up the papers that needed to be signed. After looking them over, I threw them back down. The only thing on my mind was Jillian and our night together. God, she was by far the best woman I’d ever had sex with. Everything she did aroused me. Her soft moans, her gentle touch, her smell, and the way her body moved with mine. How long was this going to last? Me thinking about her non-stop? Fuck. I should have asked for her number or at least asked where she was headed next. I was worried, something I generally didn’t do with women. As I was deep in thought, my friend and VP, Lance, walked in.

“Hey, buddy. Welcome back.” He smiled.

“Thanks.”

“So, did you get things resolved with Jess?” he asked as he sat across from my desk.

“Actually, I did. I broke up with her and sent her home.”

He chuckled. “In Hawaii?”

“Yep.”

“Classic and so deserved. It was about time, man. She was toxic.”

“But now that I got rid of that problem, I have another.”

“What’s that?” He leaned back in his chair.

“I met someone and can’t stop thinking about her.”

“In Hawaii?”

“Actually, she sat next to me on the plane to Hawaii, and we stayed at the same hotel. Jess invited her to dinner one night to try and prove to me that she had changed.”

“And I can see that worked out really well.” He laughed. “So now you have me curious. Who is this mystery girl?”

“Her name is Jillian Bell, and she’s the most beautiful, fun, kind-hearted, selfless, amazing woman I have ever met.”

“Hmm. I’ve never heard you describe a woman like that before.” He rubbed his chin. “Did you fuck her?”

“Yes, but that’s not important. What’s important is that I don’t think I’ll ever see her again.”

“Why? Where does she live?”

“She lived in Seattle, but she won’t go back there. I don’t know where she went after she left Hawaii.”

“Okay, Drew. Seriously, I’m so confused right now, man.”

“She left her fiancé at the altar on her wedding day and hopped on a plane to Hawaii to start a journey of self-discovery.”

“Wow. She left her fiancé at the altar?” He raised his brows at me. “Right off the bat, the two of you have something in common.”
