together.”
Turning off my phone that will mean I could miss a text from Ethan.
Reluctantly I say, “Okay, what did you have in mind?”
We spend the day curled up on the couch watching reality TV and old movies. Several times, I catch Liam staring at me.
“What?” I ask and throw a pillow at him.
He catches it and kisses me on the forehead.
“Giselle, you mean so much to me and lately things have been strange. I don’t want to leave when things aren’t right between us.”
Liam is gorgeous. His dark eyes are kind and always sparkle. He places his hand on my knee.
“If leaving is going to make things worse, tell me and I won’t go.”
“Things have been crazy lately. We’ve been so busy and I think stress got the best of me.”
“Are you sure? Recently you seem distant; like you’d rather be somewhere else.”
Crap.
“You were right, I need to stop comparing our relationship to my friends. ”
I give him a reassuring smile, which causes him to relax and start watching the movie again. What am I doing? This wonderful man sitting beside me really does care about me. Maybe sex isn’t important when we have everything else?
Chapter Five
The clock reads 4:35 once my eyes finally open. I quickly change out of my pajamas and into my yellow and gray running gear; this run will be shorter than usual since I’m meeting with a client at eight. Its ten minutes to 6:00 when I reenter the apartment, the TV’s on but there’s no sign of Liam. He’s leaving this morning, and I want to be out of the shower and dressed in time to see him off. I’ll miss him but right now my main focus is seeing Ethan later tonight. This couldn’t have panned out any better than it did. So why do I feel guilty already? My shower is quick and refreshing. I dry off, moisturize and wrap the towel around me while walking to the bed where my outfit awaits me. I refuse to overthink the Ethan situation, but rather, look at it as getting reacquainted with an old friend. That’s the only way I can come to peace with what may occur.
I toss the towel and grab my undergarments. I put on a pair of white skinny jeans with a black and white striped tank. In the bathroom, I style my hair and apply clear lip gloss. I slip on my jade green blazer and a stylish pair of hot pink tasseled flats before I open the door. Liam comes down the hall with luggage in hand.
“Good Morning. Do you want any help?”
“Morning. No, I got it.”
He kisses my cheek before walking past me and wheeling his suitcase to the front door. I head in the kitchen and grab the cranberry juice from the fridge. I pour myself a glass and put one out on the counter for him.
“Are you going to miss me?”
“Liam, of course I’ll miss you. It will be very lonely around here and Indulgence for that matter. It’s only two weeks though so we’ll get by. Make sure you enjoy the lovely Texas weather for the both of us.”
Franks states through the intercom, “Mr. Jackson, your transportation has arrived and is parked out front.”
He hits the call button and tells him he’ll be right down.
“Can I get a goodbye hug?”
“Yes, of course. I can’t believe they’re here already.”
I rush to him and throw my arms around his neck. I give his lips a small peck. He tells me I’m beautiful and kisses my cheek before letting me go and grabbing his bags.
“I’m going to miss you. Text to let me know you arrived safely.”
“I’ll miss you too, but we’ll talk soon.”
As he leaves; freedom and naughtiness enters. I enjoy the feeling, grab my white clutch and head out the door.
I press the unlock button on the key to my silver Mazda6, open the door and speed to the meeting. It’s a shame that Liam’s plane hasn’t taken off yet, but here I am plotting on what to wear to Ethan’s later. My thoughts of Ethan are paused for the duration of the meeting. But hours later, I am thinking about this evening again.
