“I’ll meet you at your place at six?”
“Sounds like a plan.” We both stand.
“It’s so good to see you, Remi.” She pats my cheek. “You’re just as handsome and stupid as always.” She grins.
“Need I remind you that you dated my brother?” I take a playful jab at her.
“Fair.” She laughs. “I’ll see you later.”
“Yeah, I’ll see you then.” I follow her to the door, not leaving my doorway until I’ve watched her step onto the elevator.
Plopping down behind my desk, I pull up the text thread between me and Kaia. Typing and erasing no less than twenty messages before finally settling on the truth... of sorts.
Me:Can we reschedule for tomorrow? I had a friend unexpectedly come to town who wants to meet for drinks.
I wait for her response... It never comes. I consider texting her again but decide against it. She’s probably with a patient and will text me when she can.
Checking the time, I realize that if I want any hope of getting out of here in time to meet Olivia, I better get my ass in gear. So that’s what I do. And no, I don’t obsess over the unanswered text more and more as time passes. Because that would make me pathetic, right?
Right?
Chapter Eleven
Kaia
––––––––
“Do you need anythingbefore I leave?” I stop by Aspen’s office on my way out the door, honestly surprised she’s still here this late.
I got held up with a patient and am just now finishing up for the day, even though I agreed to meet Remi in less than an hour. If I book it, I can still make it in time, but I’ll have to drive straight there, and since my phone is dead—thank you cheap-ass charger—I’ll have to keep my fingers and toes crossed that I can remember the way. Though I do have a charger in my car, so hopefully it will charge enough on the drive over that if I get turned around, I can use my phone to find it.
Just the thought of seeing him again so soon after what happened yesterday has my stomach swimming with an array of nerves and excitement. I still can’t believe I let him get me into bed so easily. Then again, who could really blame me—look at the man. He’s been practically begging me with those seductive eyes of his since the moment I met him.
Aspen looks up, a smile touching her lips.
“No, I’m good. Just had a couple of things to finish up since I won’t be back in the office until Thursday. Why areyouhere so late?”
