Isa: What’s Bastian making for dinner? Or should I pick something up?
She’s been trying to find ways to drive herself over here, but there’s not a chance I’m allowing that. I prefer Bastian drive her. I didn’t send his ass to a specialized defensive driving school for nothing. And besides, Isa’s car is a death trap. I’ve already researched a car I want to buy her, one that has had zero fatalities.
Me: I’ll have Bastian pick up food and you and Felipe.
Isa: What time?
Me: When do you finish work?
Isa: Library closes at eight tonight.
Me: 8:01
Isa: (eye-rolling emoji)
Me: If you keep irritating me, I’ll come over there now and work from your desk.
Isa: Good luck finding space.
Me: Oh, beautiful, I will find space. Don’t tempt me.
Isa: You’re impossible.
Me: That’s why you like me.
Isa: Nope, that’s definitely not why.
Me: See you tonight.
Isa: Yeppers.
I smile. God, this woman is amazing. I sit doing my work while periodically remembering how Isa’s body felt beneath me last night. After a day of mental distractions, I send Bastian a message to go pick up Isa and dinner.
Bastian: You are so bossy!
Me: I’m literally your boss.
Bastian: Whatever.
Me: Whatever doesn’t sound like something a person who wants a pay raise says.
Bastian: WHATEVER
Me: You’re a dick.
Bastian: “You’re a dick” doesn’t sound like something a boss would say.
Me: Go. Get. Isa.
Bastian: Fine!
I finish reviewing the contract on the property I’m considering buying in Storyview Falls and hit send on my email to my attorney to proceed with the purchase. When Isa told me about her dream property, my neurons began to fire. Just maybe, I might have a solution.
I tap my pen against my desk and look at the clock. It’s been twenty minutes since Bastian left. They should be back by now.
I pull out my phone and text Isa.
Me: You running late?
