I idly wonder what would happen if things went somewhere with Ashton.
Would that be a crazy notion?
I’m not one to deny my attraction towards a guy, but I guess I am reserved when it comes to relationships. I need to work on that if I want something meaningful with a man. A part of me would love to have someone to come home to every night. It’s just whether I can let myself go there.
I decide to text Ashton when I pull up to the property I’m appraising, as I’m a few minutes early. I’m excited at theprospect of seeing him again, especially if he is serious about coming out here.
Hey Ash. Nice umm chatting with you last night ;) Hope you have a great day! I know I’m still smiling.
I can’t help myself. I enjoy flirting with him, and our sexy time over the phone.
I haven't felt this comfortable with anyone in a long time, even the guys I've dated. And that’s saying something since I’ve only known Ashton for a short time.
I slide my cell into my bag and make my way to the appointment. Feeling a little bit of nervous excitement in my stomach for his reply.
I never get like this, but I like it. Probably more than I should.
As I return to the office with the signed listing agreement, my phone alerts me to a text while I gather my belongings from the passenger seat.
My stomach does another flip when I see it’s from Ashton.
Hi, Sexy lady. Trust me, I’m still smiling too. Will message you when I’m in Miami. Shouldn’t be long now ;)
I stare at the message as I walk into the building. Is he serious?
I can’t tell. But it makes me feel good all the same. I really want to see him.
I can’t reply to him because I run straight into my boss, Tessa Lane, affectionately known as Tess.
She’s a no-nonsense Texan woman with not only big hair but a bigger-than-Texas personality. She has been extremely generous to me, so I have no complaints about her.
I’ve gotten used to her ball-busting approach over the years.
“Mads, how did it go with the Overton’s place?” she asks in her Texan drawl.
She’s talking about the new clients I just landed.
I wave the folder in the air. “They just signed.”
She gives me a knowing smile as she pushes up her thick-rimmed black glasses, which take up most of her face. She’s an attractive redhead and wears her long hair high in a beehive-style chignon, which must take her hours to style.
“Well done.” She smiles. One thing I like about Tess is that she gives credit where it’s due. “They like your style, obviously.”
I have earned a name for myself over the years in Miami. Tess taught me everything from the ground up. A few years ago, I was merely an intern.
“Learned from the best.” I shrug as I walk towards my office, with her following me.
The Overton's live on Historical Miami Avenue, and the house is known for its beauty. It’s a five-bed, five-bathroom home with a gorgeous open-plan design, chef’s kitchen, and an expansive covered terrace overlooking the pool and spa. The private rooftop terrace with an outdoor kitchen shows off the lush tropical gardens and the panoramic views. All for just under five million dollars.
I’ve broken into the million-dollar listings over the last couple of years. Tess mentored me while I built my portfolio. Getting this listing is the highlight of my career, and I can't mess this up.
In addition, they are looking to purchase another property.
They’re interested in a place up for auction on Friday. I'll know this afternoon if we're going for it. They will be in the Cayman Islands on holiday, so I will have to do all the bidding for them.
The property is in the exclusive Bal Harbor area, boasting views of the Atlantic Ocean and about a second away from the beach.
As we walk to my office, I tell Tess the great news about the possibility of them buying another property before I’ve sold their current one.
