I opened my eyes the next morning as Jillian stirred in my arms. Kissing her back, I softly spoke, “Good morning.”
She turned and faced me, placing her hand and her head on my chest.
“Good morning. What time is it?”
“Eight o’clock. You were restless last night,” I spoke.
“I kept having bad dreams about my parents. Ugh. I don’t want to think or talk about them. What’s for breakfast?” she asked with a smile.
“What do you want?” My arm tightened around her as my hand softly stroked her arm.
“I don’t know. Let’s go see what we can whip up. Do you know how to cook?” She glanced up at me.
“Yes.” I grinned.
“Really? I’m surprised.”
“Why?” I chuckled.
“I don’t know. I just am.”
“I used to help my mom cook all the time. Come on, let’s go make some coffee and get breakfast started.”
“Can I just say one thing?”
“What?” I smiled.
“I’m happy you can cook because I can’t. I can’t even boil water.” She laughed. “If you said you couldn’t cook, we’d be screwed.”
“Then I will teach you.” I winked as I kissed her soft lips. “And after breakfast, I promise you will be screwed.”
As she lifted herself up from me, she grabbed the pillow and hit me with it.
“You’re dirty.” She grinned.
“You have no idea how dirty I can be, Miss Bell.”
After breakfast and a long lovemaking session in the shower, I dressed and ran to the office to grab some files I wanted to review before Monday. I saw Jillian’s father in the lobby when I entered the building.
“Mr. Bell? What are you doing here?”
“Please, call me Donald.” He held out his hand.
“How did you know that I’d be here today?”
“This is your company, right?”
“Yes.”
“People like us are always in the office on Saturdays. I need to talk to you for a moment.”
“Sure. Come up to my office. We can talk there.”
Taking the elevator up to the twelfth floor, we entered my office, and I told him to take a seat.
“What’s this about? I’m not really sure I should be talking to you.”
“I understand, but you’re my only connection to Jillian right now. I need you to get her to see me. I need to talk to her alone.”
