Chapter 28
Kalum
I walk into my office and sit at my desk and pick up the phone. “Please send Janine in,” I tell Melissa over the receiver.
“Yes, sir. Right away.”
Five minutes later, Janine waltzes in with her knee-length pencil skirt, looking like Mary Poppins.
She takes a seat in the chair in front of my desk as I type away on my schedule. She has her notepad in hand with a pen, ready to take notes of what I need.
“I need flowers sent to Aura, and please inform security and everyone in this building that she has full access to the building and my office at any time.” I can see Janine smirk as she makes notes. “Did you catch her size when you took her shopping the first time?”
“Yes, I did,” she quips.
“Good, I need the latest collection of everything she would like sent to the house in the Hamptons, and I need another wardrobe for the penthouse in the city.”
“What would you like the card to say?”
I stop typing, and I look at her while she is tapping her pen on her notepad. Shit. I didn’t think about that part. I have never sent a woman flowers before. I’ve only ever taken them out to eat, fucked them at their place and left. I lean back in my chair and loosen my tie, lost in thought.
“Write this down.” I make a motion with my finger toward her notepad. “What is the worst part of your day? That is what I want you to write on that card when you have them deliver the flowers.”
Janine grimaces. “Really? That is what you want to tell her? A normal man that is crazy about a woman would write, I’m thinking of you or miss you. You tasted great last night.”
I chuckle. “I’m going with what I told you. I want to know what the worst part of her day is to make it my mission to make it better. I don’t want her to have a bad part of her day.” I lean my forearms on the table. “I want to make her day better.”
Janine’s eyebrows shoot up. “I never thought about it like that. You really care about her.”
“Janine, Aura is the love of my life. My first and only love. Everything in her life matters the most to me and so does her son Lane Jr.”
“Her pop-up shop is almost ready. We just need the merchandise, so I can announce the location with marketing.”
Chapter 29
Aura
There is a knock on the door and one of Cason’s security guys enters the house with a beautiful bouquet of bloodred roses. Then another guy brings in two more in white and pink. Flutters swarm in my stomach.
“Oh, my goodness,” Camila exclaims.
“They’re beautiful,” I whisper.
Camila grabs one, and I grab another one to place on the dining table and one of the islands in the center of the kitchen.
“He really wants to make an impression, doesn’t he?” Camila says.
“Wow, Momma. Those are really nice,” Lane says in awe, looking at all the different roses, running over to each one and smelling them over the table.
I sigh and grab the single card in the red roses bouquet. “Yes, they are, sweetie.”
I open the small envelope and it reads:
“What is the worst part of your day?”
This is so Kalum to ask this type of question. I fish out my cell phone from the back pocket of my jeans and tell him.
Me: The worst part of my day is not waking up in your arms. The second is when Lane asks me with sadness if you have left already. That is the worst part of my day. When you are not with us. The best part is when you are. Thank you for the flowers.
