Each hour today, he has sent me an update on the time left until he picks me up. The 'baby girl' has me really fucking ready for whatever happens tonight. He's been flirting all week, riling me up and making me absolutely antsy for the clock to run out. The wine I’ve been sipping while getting ready has settled my nerves and racing thoughts.
Time to get some.
Me: I'm ready!
Jude: Good girl.
Fuuuuuck.
"Mommy, when will Pixie be here?" Cozied up on my bed, Layla's eyes stay glued to the TV on the dresser.
"Jude and Gabs will be here soon, sweetie."
I run some oil through my copper locks one more time and take a final twirl in the mirror, feeling pretty pleased with the final look.
I decided to go with my mini black dress, straight hair down to my waist, dark eyes, and just a smidge of red lipstick. The black dress comes about mid-thigh, and the spaghetti straps dip into my cleavage just a bit. My long hair covers me up enough that I feel comfortable wearing this.
"Oh wow, Mommy!" Bug's eyes are wide as she takes me in, short pumps and all. I suppose she's never seen me like this. "You look pretty!" she gushes, coming over to tug on my hair a little and dance around me.
"Thank you, sweetie." I smile, running a hand over her head.
She frowns. "Where are you going?" I think she finally realized what me going out and Gabby coming to babysit means. This is unfamiliar territory for both of us.
Sitting on the edge of my bed, I tug her towards me. "Mommy is going to hang out with Jude, remember him?" She nods, a wide grin pulling at her lips. Yeah, Jude won her over. "I will be gone for a little bit. That's why Gabby will be here. To keep you safe and tuck you in."
"Oh, okay! What are you and Jude going to do?"
"I think we are going to dance!"
"Fun! I want to dance..." she trails off, a pout tinging her words.
"Maybe—" I'm cut off by a knock on my door at the same time my phone goes off.
Boop.
Jude: Change of plans... I couldn't wait. Open up! ;)
I snort. "Pixie's here. Let's go let them in!" I trail after my jammie-clad girl as she bolts to the front door. This time she waits for me to be close before she opens it wide.
And holy mother of hell.
Gabby swoops in fast and twirls Bug into the living room while I drink in the sight that is Jude. Veiny forearms displaying an array of leather bracelets. His black dress shirt is rolled up and tucked into black pants that seem to dance the line between dressy and casual. His blonde beach waves lay haphazardly over his ears and forehead, as usual, making me want to run my nails through the strands. A chain dangles around his neck, topping off his delicious vibes.
"Jesus."
"Damn."
I giggle, having voiced our shock at the same time. Locking eyes, I sway forward a tad at the heat I see raging in his brown irises.
"You look absolutely stunning, baby girl," he growls. It's enough to make me contemplate packing an extra set of panties.
"Thank you, Jude," I force the acceptance out. I'm working on accepting compliments, and that one was easy to brush off when I'm still stuck somewhere between his dirty smirk and bulging pecs.
He lifts flowers into my line of sight, and I give him a light smile, attempting to conceal my frown.Why does he have flowers? Isn't this just a hookup?
"I got these for the little Nugget." His smile is huge as he peers around my shoulder, looking for Layla.
Oh shit.He got Layla flowers?
