are supposed to be going out to dinner tonight.”
    Gabrielle and Tia gasped “What?”
    “When were you going to tell us, Maya?” hissed Gabrielle.
    “I am not sure if I am going to go. He was supposed to call me with details and he hasn’t plus... I. I’m not sure.” I raised my arms in exasperation as the whole idea was driving me insane.
    All three of them looked at me.
    “Not sure? Maya, he had you so flustered at the opening Friday night you ran out of there,” Gabrielle reminded me.
    “And let’s not even talk about today after the meeting,” chimed Samantha. “You were nearly a puddle when I came in to tell you about the contracts.”
    “Guys like Nicholas only want one thing,” I said.
    “Maya, he’s been hot for you since college. I think he wants a little more than your cookie, missy.” Gabrielle was never short with comments. Actually, none of them were.
    “I don’t know, girls. I feel confused on the inside while my sweatbox is keeping the heat on every time he’s around. I don’t want a fling—even if he is fucking gorgeous.”
    “Maya, if you don’t go you will never know what he wants,” said Tia. “No one is saying fuck him on the first night.  Unless you want to,” quipped Gabrielle. Samantha looked at Gabrielle and rolled her eyes.
    “Tia’s right. You won’t know unless you try.” My Samantha, always knowing exactly what to say. At that moment, my phone rang.
    “Hello?”
    “Hi, Amaya. How’s your lunch with your friends going?” I was puzzled by the voice that was stalker sounding.
    “Who is this?”
    “It’s Nicholas. Don’t tell me you forgot about our dinner already.”
    “How’d you know who I was with?” I asked concernedly. 
    “I followed you,” he said, laughing.
    “You what?” I yelled.
    “No. No, I am kidding. I was at the hotel for another business meeting when I saw you ladies walk in. I swear that is all.” He laughed again. I smiled and couldn’t help let out a little chuckle. It was apparent he had broken through.
    “Oh, so she is capable of laughing,” he said.
    “So where are we going for dinner?” I asked.
    “I was thinking Happy Wine over in Coconut Grove. Is that okay?” I hesitated in my response, but the girls were looking at me wide-eyed.
    “That will be fine. What time shall I meet you there?”
    “Meet? I was planning on picking you up.”
    “I have to go back to the office to pick up my car and then go to my place to get dressed so it would be better if I met you there,” I said.
    “Okay, that’s fine. Let’s say around seven thirty?”
    “Seven thirty is fine.”
    “See you then,” he said softly, seductively, making my heart skip. 
    “Bye,” I said, matching his tone. As soon as I hung up, the girls screamed. Everyone turned and stared at us as we laughed at our actions. We finished our afternoon together and Samantha took me back to the office to get my car.
    “Are you going to be okay?” she asked as we arrived. 
    “Um, yeah. I think I can finish the contracts by tomorrow. If I ne—”
    “No. I was asking about dinner with Nicholas,” she interrupted.
    “Oh, that. Sure it is just a meal, with a guy, that’s totally hot,” I said as I took a deep breath.
    “I have never seen you so worked up over something.”
    “If you haven’t noticed, I don’t have a social life outside of you girls. This is an awkward point with me. I feel like a flipping teenager all over again!” Samantha laughed as I threw my head in my hands. I leaned my head back, turned, and smiled.
    “I guess I better get going.”
    “You know we want the deets tomorrow. No excuses!”
    “Okay, I’ll let you guys know how disastrous this evening was.” I laughed as we embraced. “Hugs and kisses?”
    “Hugs and kisses,” she replied. I got in my car and left.

    My place is only fifteen minutes away from the office and the restaurant is twenty minutes away from there. It was now six thirty in the evening. That
