She looks pleased. “Very nice. What time are you meeting him?”
“Seven.”
She nods with a satisfied smile. “I hope you have a lovely evening.” Then she stands. “If you don’t mind, I’ll go get out of this suit and into something more comfortable.” She walks over to me and brushes my cheek with her fingers. “I’ll miss you at supper tonight, but I’m glad you’re going out. It’ll be fun, I’m sure. I can’t wait to hear all about it when you get home.”
At five-thirty, I go up to my room to get dressed and spend twenty minutes debating what to wear. Something chic, but not too dressy. I don’t want to call attention to myself, but I don’t want to be underdressed either. In the end, I decide on a black ribbed knit dress with long sleeves and a turtleneck collar. The dress reaches mid-thigh; beneath it I wear a pair of black leggings and short black boots. It’s classy, but not over the top. And you can’t go wrong with a little black dress, even if it has long sleeves and a high collar.
The long sleeves are necessary to hide the still-healing scratches and the old scars on my arms. I definitely wouldn’t want to have to explain any of those to my date.
To complete the outfit, I put on some large gold hoop earrings and a gold chain necklace with a heart-shaped locket. I decide to leave my hair down. I think it makes me look more sophisticated.
All dressed, I stand in front of the large gilded mirror in my closet and smile.Not bad.
You look like a prostitute.
I laugh.I do not.
It’s actually not that bad.
Oh, my god, you said something nice? I’m shocked.
Don’t let it go to your head. You’re still just a trophy fuck.
I’m not having sex with Reese. We’re just having dinner.
That’s what you think. He wants to get you drunk, take you home with him, and screw your brains out.
I laugh again. “That’s definitely not happening. Apparently, you haven’t met my bodyguard.”
Idiot.
But before I hear anything more, I’m distracted by the knock on my bedroom door.
“Time to go,” I say as I head for the door and open it.
Jason’s standing in the hallway dressed in his new black suit and tie.Wow.He looks…
Hot.
Gorgeous.
Intimidating.
Handsome.
And you still look like a prostitute.
“Shut up.”
Jason grins at me. “I take it that wasn’t directed at me.”
“No, sorry.” I motion for him to come in. “Just give me a sec. I need to brush my teeth.”
While I’m in my bathroom doing just that, Jason walks up behind me with his phone in his hand. I’m sure he’s checking my glucose monitor. “Watch what you eat tonight,” he says as he looks at the reading. “You’re already running a bit high. Make good choices.”
I laugh. “Yes,dad.”
He shakes his head. “I’m definitely not your father.”
