girl.”
Alexa hangs up her phone and buzzes for Martina. “Can you come in here please?”
Martina appears in the doorway. “Hey, boss.”
“I need my calendar for today. What time is my lunch with Madeline?”
“One. You’re meeting her in the lobby and going to Raw for sushi. Brett Collins called while you were talking to Scotty the hotty. He asked you to return his call.”
Alexa raises her eyebrows. “Scotty the hotty?”
Martina blushes. “It just came out.”
“I see. I do believe you’re boy crazy, Martina. Do you have Brett’s number?”
“Here it is.” She hands her a piece of paper. “And I’m just living vicariously through you.”
“It’s not that fun to be me sometimes.”
“Maybe not. Or maybe you just forgot how to have fun.”
Alexa narrows her eyes, indicating Martina just went too far. Martina, taking the hint, hurries back to her desk. Alexa picks up the phone and dials Brett.
“Brett here,” he answers.
“Hello, Brett. It’s Alexa Drake. You called?”
“I did. Just confirming our date for tonight. Are we still on for seven?”
Oh shit. Did he just say date?
“Yes, dinner at seven.”
“Great, I’ll pick you up.”
“Where are we going?”
“You’ll see. Wear something nice.”
“Okay. See you soon.”
“Yes.”
Maybe he meant date in the sense of appointment, she thought.
Yes, that must be it. It’s not romantic.
If worse came to worse, she would just have to tell him that she was in a relationship with someone, even though she wasn’t sure that was true.
“Alexa, I have the contracts prepared and copies made for Capital Associates. Do you want me to courier the package over to them?” Martina asks, as Alexa wraps up for the day.
“Yes, please. Thank you.”
“Do you think they liked the presentation?”
“They’re signing the contracts,” Alexa replies dryly. She’s beyond distracted thinking of her evening ahead.
“Of course. Sorry for the dumb question.”
Alexa looks up and sighs. “It wasn’t dumb. I just have a lot on my mind.”
“I hope you have fun tonight, boss.”
“I don’t. I just want to have a pleasant enough business dinner.” She smiles. “I’ll see you Monday.”
“Okay.”
Alexa wraps herself in her coat and heads to the lobby. When she gets there, she’s surprised to see Scott, leaning his sexy ass body against a column.
“What are you doing here, Scott?”
“Driving you home. I sent your driver away.”
“Why? You know I have plans tonight.”
“I do. I’m just making sure you remember what you already have.”
“This jealousy of yours is ridiculous, you know that? You’re being possessive over something that isn’t yours.”
“That’s not what you said last night.” He grins, but she can sense the underlying tension in his tone. “Let’s go.”
“Fine.”
They walk to the car, Alexa’s mind racing with thoughts. He’s never acted like this before. Possessive and jealous, absolutely. But going to so much trouble to be with her–never. Not once. If he had, maybe she’d still be in New York waking up in his bed every morning.
“Doesn’t it feel good to be together again, baby girl?”
“I’m not sure.”
“What’s holding you back?”
“I don’t know.”
“Yes, you do. You can be honest with me.”
“Can I?”
“Of course. Tell me how you feel.”
“Feel? Are you dying or something?”
“Dying? No! Why the hell would you ask me that?”
“You’re acting so strange. What about our no emotion rule? No public displays of affection? Now you want to know how I feel ? Something’s up, Scotty. Knock off the bullshit and tell me what you’re up to.”
He grins and shifts gears, increasing his speed. “First, tell me that you missed me.”
“No.”
“You’re being defiant again. I guess you’re looking for another spanking.”
“No, Scotty, I’m not. I’m trying to have an adult conversation without the power trip.”
“You missed
