CHAPTER THIRTEEN
LILY
Ever since we got back from meeting my dad, I've felt like someone's been watching me. I keep looking around, but I don't see anybody.
I haven't told Blake about it yet. I assume he’ll get me a bodyguard if I say anything. So, that’s why I don’t.
The next day, I'm meeting Jenny for lunch. We planned on meeting at a new Indian place. When I arrive, she is already sitting at a table waiting for me.
I take a seat next to her.
"Two things I need your help with," I tell her.
"What's the first thing?"
Before I can tell her, our waitress comes over and asks what we want.
"Could you come back in a couple of minutes? I haven't looked at the menu yet." She gives me a polite smile, then leaves.
"I need a job. Do you know of any openings?"
She nods. "One or two maybe. Let me look into it. I'll let you know."
The waitress returns and takes our order before she leaves again.
"What's the second thing?"
I look around to make sure no one is listening, and then I lean closer to her. "I think someone is following me. Haven't seen anyone, but I have this feeling."
"Have you told Blake?"
"No, I'm afraid he would lock me in the apartment or call in the National Guard."
Neither option would make me happy.
"Be careful. Your gut instinct is always right."
I miss this. I enjoy hanging out with her. I don't get to spend much time with her, even though we are both in New York now. If Blake has any free time, I spend it with him. I need to get out more, but our romance is still so new that I want to spend all my free time with him. I know he feels the same way because he's always coming home early or taking long lunches to be with me.
After lunch with Jenny, I go off on my own to do a little shopping, checking out some small boutique stores. Blake texts that he'll be home early. I still have plenty of time before he comes home. I notice a cute little lingerie store, so I decide to take a quick peek. They have some beautiful pieces that Blake would love to see me in. I will have to tell Jenny about this place. I hurry back home to get ready for Blake.
I take a long soak in the bathtub and add some excellent smelling salts. I dry myself off and put on my new panties and bra. The set I decide to wear tonight is see-through white lace with little ruffles on the top of the panties and bra. It's a cutesy set that will definitely drive Blake crazy.
I text him to ask if he's close. He says that he's getting out of the car. I pose on the chair that is directly across from the elevator. I want to be the first thing he sees when he gets off it. Minutes pass, and no Blake. Maybe someone stopped him downstairs to talk.
After ten minutes, he still isn't here. I push up from the chair and stomp to the phone and dial down to the security desk.
"Yes, Mr. Dalton. How can we help you?"
"This is Ms. Allen. Is Blake in the lobby?"
"No, Ms. Allen. Mr. Dalton is not here."
"Ok, thanks." I hang up.
I call Blake. I'm getting a little grumpy because I had this whole seduction thing ready, and he gets waylaid by someone else. The phone goes straight to voicemail. That's strange. He always picks up the phone when I call.
I hurry and call Noah. While the phone is ringing, I hustle to the bedroom to put on a pair of jeans and a shirt. I'm pulling my shirt over my head when Noah answers. I drop the phone, trying to talk and get my shirt on at the same time.
