Ryan, ring me back, I miss your voice.
I hear the toilet flush, and I roll back onto my side of the bed and wait for him to crawl in behind me. I'm not sure how I feel. Is Alicia another woman? Should I ask him about her? No, he will know I've been snooping. I don't know what to do, and my first thought is to run. What if he has a girlfriend back home? Shit.
“Hey, babe, your mind is whirring there, I can hear you thinking.” He rolls me so that I am flat on my back, and he is propped up on his side looking at me. His hand sweeps my hair off my face. Then he leans down and gently kisses me. I want to cry; it feels so perfect, but is he really mine?
“Do you have a girlfriend back in Vegas?” I ask, gingerly.
“No, Lily. I haven't been able to look at another woman since you walked out on me. You've consumed my thoughts.”
“You consumed mine, too.”
He climbs over me, and then I'm lost in Ryan for the rest of the day.
Two weeks later.
“Babe, I'm coming out to Vegas tomorrow. I can't wait to see you.” He went home the next morning, and then he flew down last weekend to see me. I have two days off, so I am flying out to Vegas to spend them with him. I'm excited, and I can't wait to see where he lives, and maybe he can show me more of Las Vegas and not just the Strip and the tourist areas.
“I can't wait to hold you. I fucking missed you, Lily.”
“Me too.”
“I'll give you my address. I can't collect you from the airport as I have a meeting. I tried to reschedule it, but they wouldn't listen. Sorry, beautiful, I wanted to be there for you.”
“It's fine. I might get time to have a wander around before you come home. You told me there's a coffee shop beneath where you live.”
“Yeah, they serve the best coffee ever.”
“How will I get into your apartment?”
“I'll leave the key with Sid. He's the doorman. He'll let you in. I told my assistant that I don't want any meetings in the two days that you are here so we can see everything and spend time together.”
“Sounds good to me.”
We talk for hours, and then I say, “I need to go to sleep, and I'll see you tomorrow, Ryan.”
“See you tomorrow, beautiful.”
We hang up, and I roll over with a smile on my face. It doesn't take me long to fall asleep.
I get up in the morning, get ready, and take a cab to the airport. When I get there, they tell me that there is an earlier flight that was delayed and asked if I wanted to jump on that one because mine is oversold, and it would help them a lot. They offered me compensation too, so I took it. At least I won't be hanging around the airport for a few hours.
The flight is perfect, with no turbulence, except a little on the way down to Vegas, but that's because of the hot air and the thermal pockets. When I get out at the airport, I grab a cab and give him Ryan's address.
I pay the driver and get out, smelling the sweet smell of ground coffee beans. I'll grab a coffee as soon as I've dumped my stuff.
When I walk inside, I see an older gentleman. “Hey, are you Sid?”
He nods his head. “Yes, I am, ma'am, how can I help you?”
“I'm here to see Ryan, and he said he was leaving you a key. He lives in P1.”
The old man smiles, and his face wrinkles. He looks like he smiles a lot. “Yes, Lily is it?”
I nod my head. “Yes, it is.”
He hands me the card key. “Take the elevator to the top floor, and then it's on your left. Have a nice day, Miss Lily.” He smiles, and I like him; he's pleasant and very welcoming.
I get in the elevator; my nerves are jumping, knowing that I am going to see where Ryan lives and that I will see him later today. I have a few hours to kill until he finishes work. I bet it's not long since he left for work. I should have asked Sid.
