I wrap my arms around her in an embrace. This may not be how I envisioned my day playing out, but I could use a distraction and I can’t think of a better one than this.
“Let’s eat and then you can change,” she suggests. “I’ve never gone dress shopping with a fashion designer before.”
I bark out a laugh. “A fashion line comprised of my knitted and crotched creations is the dream, but I’m not even close to that yet.”
“Mark my words, Els Rehn.” She beams with a smile. “That dream will become reality.”
The Upper East Sideon a Saturday afternoon is a busy place.
We’ve been to two boutiques already and even though I suggested we catch the subway and head to Tribeca to a shop that I know will have something Pen will love, she’s insisted on sticking to this neighborhood.
Since we’re spending her money to get her a dress to impress the guy she wants to sleep with, I need to keep my opinions to myself.
A woman knows what works on her body, and Penny has a vision.
“I think I need a dose of caffeine before we continue my treasure hunt,” she says. “There’s a coffee shop close to the hospital. They make a decent cup. I had a few when Daxton was being treated.”
I know the shop she’s talking about. The coffee isn’t decent, though. It’s more lackluster because it’s always bitter and every time I’ve had a cup it’s been lukewarm.
“They also have these melt in your mouth croissants.” She lets out a breathy sigh. “Fair warning, Els. They are to die for.”
I think she meant to say that they should come with a warning because they are so dry they’re a choking hazard, which could lead to death.
“I’m still full from lunch.” I pat my stomach beneath the blue sweater I’m wearing.
I paired it with jeans and low-heeled black boots that Penny found in my closet. She spun me around twice after I was dressed before she granted her approval.
She tugs lightly on the end of my ponytail. “That’s fine by me. I can eat an entire one in ten-seconds flat.”
Lucky for her I know the Heimlich maneuver.
“Maybe we’ll stumble on a hot doctor there.” She wiggles her eyebrows. “I read online that there’s a gorgeous single trauma surgeon who works at the same hospital as Dr. Morgan. His nickname is Dr. Sexy.”
I laugh off the suggestion that I’d be interested.
“Let’s grab those coffees now.” She links her arm around mine. “Then I know we’ll find the dress of my dreams.”
CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
Eloise
I just foundthe man of my dreams, or my sex dreams. Technically, those dreams are now reality since Dr. Morgan fucked me into complete bliss last night.
“Check out the tattoos on that guy.” Penny fans her face with her hand. “He has to be a doctor. He’s wearing blue scrubs like they do at Lenox Hill.”
“That’s Dr. Morgan,” I tell her.
“What?” Her head snaps to the left so she can look right at me.
We’re standing side-by-side in the line at the coffee shop waiting to place our order.
Dr. Morgan looks like he’s picking up his, and someone else’s since he’s holding two cups of coffee.
“It is him.” Penny rubs her hand over her forehead. “His hotness level just skyrocketed.”
She won’t get any arguments from me.
“I mean in general terms.” She back pedals at warp speed. “I am still all in with Daxton. The sex is going to be great. It will be, right?”
