Unknown: Hmm … seems you need to be reminded of who your orgasms belong to. A do-over is in the works.
I sigh. I’d love for ado-over, but I’m not sure if sleeping with him would get in the way of my job. Not to mention, what it would do to my heart. I vowed to never let Kyle in my heart, and here I am, practically handing it over to him on a platter, ready for him to shatter it.
Me: What do you want, Kyle?
Kyle: This is a reminder of our dinner plans tonight.
Me: I don’t need a reminder. I’ve been dreading it since this morning.
Kyle: Aw. I’m looking forward to it, too. I’ll pick you up at 6:30.
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
Me: Pick me up? You’re coming to my house, remember?
Kyle: Change of plans, sweetheart.
Me: I’m not going to your house or anywhere in public with you.
Kyle: What about my parents’?
Me: HELL TO THE NO!
I wait for his response but nothing.
Melanie groaning drags my attention from the phone to her as she staggers into my office with her hands filled with file folders.
“Hey, here are the documents you asked for,” she says.
I stand to gather some from her hands and settle them down on my desk while she does the same with hers. “Thank you.”
Her green eyes study me in interest. “Damn, you look hot this morning. You’re sporting a specialglow. Did you finally bang Kyle?” She winks and places one hand in a circular motion before putting her finger through it.
I came in early, so she lost her chance to interrogate me this morning.
“God, why do I likeandemploy you?”
“Because I’m awesome … and my stalking skills are legit.”
She leaves when my phone rings, and I pick it up, expecting it to be Kyle, but it’s someone I’d rather not talk to more than him. I roll my eyes before accepting the call.
“Hey, I need you to babysit,” Claudia says as soon as I answer. “I’ll drop the kids off at five.”
“I have plans.”
“Seriously? I need you, Chloe. I need to work to make money to take care of my family like you’ve lectured me about.”
I scoff. “Quit lying. Your boss sent me your schedule.”
“That motherfucker,” she hisses. “Fine,I have a date.”
“So do I,” I lie. I have tohang outwith Kyle.
“With who?”
My tone turns sharp. “None of your business. Maybe you should spend time with your kids for a change.”
“Oh, here she goes again, Ms. I’m Better Than You.”
