“Um…” Averie looked at me.
“It’s up to you. I would like for you to have dinner with us.”
“Okay,” she smiled.
“Great!” I don’t know why my mother was acting so happy all of a sudden, but I went with it. “Let’s say around three tomorrow?”
She looked at both of us for confirmation.
“That will work,” I confirmed.
“Alright, I will see you both tomorrow,” Mom smiled again as she started backing up towards her front door.
“Do you have any bags or anything that needs to be carried in, Mom?”
“No, no. Go ahead and enjoy your day. I will see you tomorrow. Nice to meet you Averie.”
“Nice to meet you too, Ms. Valentine.”
I took Averie by the hand and led her back to the cart. I helped her in and then rounded the cart to get in and continue our tour of my property.
“Damn, I must have put it on you last night. I’m already meeting your Mom and getting invited to dinner.”
“Facts,” I said as I pulled from the driveway.

The weekendwith Samuel was incredible. Dinner with his mother and sister was delicious and enjoyable. Both women are entertaining and smart. His mother told me Torrey had talked about me to her after we met at my charity event. She also told me Torrey was going to try to get Samuel and me out on a date. We haven’t actually been on a date, so she could still make that happen.
He drove me home after dinner and decided to stay the night with me. Ray brought him clothes over the next morning to change into for work.
“Will I see you this week?”
“This will be my first full week back at the firm so, I am going to be swamped trying to catch up on everything that has happened while I was away. I would like to see you, so I will try.”
He put his arms around me and pulled me close. He hadn’t put on his tie or his suit jacket, but he already looked delicious in his royal blue slacks and white shirt. His cologne had me wishing we had more time to climb back in bed but we both had places we had to be.
“We both will try, okay?”
“Okay,” I smiled as he leaned down to kiss me.
We kissed until Ray called to tell him it was time for them to leave.
“Have a great day,” he said as he stepped into the hallway.
“You too.”
He leaned in and quickly kissed me again before walking down the hall to the elevator. I watched him until he stepped on then I closed the door, so I could finish getting dressed.

Walkinginto my office after being away for so long felt good. I smiled when I stepped off the elevator and saw my name on the wall. I smiled when Liddy met me with a large cup of freshly brewed coffee, no sugar and double cream. I smiled when I walked past all the other employees and addressed them by name. My smile faltered when I walked in my office and saw stacks of paper waiting for me to review. My smile was replaced with a frown when I opened my email and saw three hundred “important” messages for me to read.
It’s going to be a long week.
Liddy came in once I settled into my chair behind my desk. She pulled up a chair facing me and began running down my schedule.
I was listening but flashing back to my weekend with Samuel. I thought about each time we had sex. He was rough sometimes and gentle other times. He pinched and bit while other times he rubbed and caressed. It didn’t feel like the first time we’d ever been together. It felt like lovers reconnecting after a long break. Both of us worked hard at pleasing the other. He was successful in all his pursuits. I hope he felt the same about me.
