baby."
"I love you too," I said and hung up.
Another promise.
Another meaningless I love you.
I turned my volume up to hear Jessie Ware’s; Say You Love Me playing. Another love song, another melody that reminded me of the forgotten love we once had. I wanted to believe things were going to be different. There was a small part of my heart that still held out. A small part of me which clings to the possibility we will rekindle the passion we once shared.

My skin was so soft and it seemed to be glowing tonight. I was so excited about this evening and the surprises he had in store. I had already received my first two surprises of the night. I woke up from my nap to find two boxes sitting on the chaise. I looked at myself in the mirror and the Zac Posen dress he bought me fit perfectly. I always loved the way red looked against my skin. The small train flowed beautifully from the fitted dress.
My eyes and smile reflected love.
I felt beautiful.
He made me feel beautiful.
I looked at the clock and saw that it was 6:30 p.m. Our evening was scheduled to begin at 7 o’clock. I slid on my gold Casadei pumps that were also a surprise from my man.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
I walked over to my room phone. We had reserved separate rooms since Rhonda had come on this trip. We wanted to make sure there were no traces of unprofessionalism on our part. Rhonda was cool and all but clearly she participated in office gossip. I wanted to parts in adding to the circulation.
“Hello”
“Hello beautiful. Are you ready for our evening?”
I was smiling from ear to ear. Lord, the man even sounded sexy on the phone.
“Well yes I am handsome.”
“Ok well I will be down in the lobby waiting for you.”
“Oh you’re not coming up to get me?”
“No I don’t want to be tempted to undress you. I want us to get through our evening before I do that.”
There it was oozing through the phone. The undeniable panty-dropping charm.
“I see. Well I will be down shortly then.”
“See you soon beautiful.”
I snickered.
I hung up the phone and walked back to check myself in the mirror one last time. I was proud of the fact I managed to maintain my size 8 frame. The high neckline and the drop back gave this dress the perfect seductive, yet classy look. I grabbed my clutch and headed downstairs. I was excited about tonight. I was ready for the unforgettable memory he promised.
The elevator door opened and there he stood. He looked at me and smiled. He had a way of looking at me. A way that would always make me feel incredibly sexy. I looked at him and felt weak in the knees. The man could wear the hell out of a suit. He could definitely give James Bond a run for his money. I grinned and walked towards him. I saw he had a long black box in his hand.
Another surprise.
“You look breathtaking Mariah.”
“You clean up pretty good yourself Mr. McDaniels.”
I placed a small kiss on his lips.
“What is this?” I asked.
“A gift for you,” he said holding out the box.
He opened the box and I saw two tickets. I laughed at the irony of what he had done. I wasn’t expecting tickets. I reached for the tickets and removed them from the box.
They read, A Night with Anthony Hamilton.
I was stoked. I loved Anthony Hamilton! So far my surprises were getting better and better. I wasn’t sure what he had left. Although, I couldn’t imagine him topping a surprise Anthony Hamilton concert.
“Are you ready Ms. Nicholson?”
“Why yes Mr. McDaniels.”
I loved how we played coy with our formalities. The professional tone we played with was fun. Not to mention, it turned us on in a major way. He held his arm out for me and I slipped mine through. We headed for the car he had waiting for
