I’m sure my mom will be proud that she trained me well. I pull my coat closer to my body as I try to get another cab, praying that the rain holds off until I get home before it starts raining.
Soon, another cab stops, and just as I’m about to get in, a guy comes out of nowhere and jumps in before I do.
“Hey, that’s my cab!” I scream at the douche, who doesn’t seem to care as he tells the cab driver to drive.
“Asshole!” I scream at the moving cab.
“I don’t think he heard that.”
I spin around to see Ethan stepping out of the hotel through the revolving doors, wearing a gray coat and a black scarf wrapped around his neck. His hair looks a little ruffled, like he had been pulling his fingers through them. A habit of his I’ve come to notice that he has.
It should be illegal for someone to look this incredibly handsome. I clench my hands by my side because I want to pull my fingers through his hair and arrange them.
“Having a hard time getting a cab, huh?” he asks, with a lazy smile on his face.
When I found out that it was Lysa who recommended me for the promotion, and not him favoring me because we had sex, I felt terrible. When I went to apologize to him in his office two days ago, he acted better than I had expected him to.
I didn’t know what I was expecting, but I wasn’t expecting him to be so chill, either. Now, our relationship has been more cordial, with him only talking to me about work.
“Yeah, I seem to have a knack for being unable to stop cabs these days,” I say with a sigh.
“Rush hour, and the impending rain too.” He has his eyes on the sky as he speaks, his hands tucked in the side pockets of his coat.
“Yeah, it’s the reason I want to get home before the rain starts.” I keep trying to hail a cab, but they all zoom past me.
“Come on, I will take you home,” he says as his driver brings his car around.
“No, thanks. I’m sure I will get a cab in no time.”
He looks a little surprised. “You would rather take a cab instead of agreeing for me to drive you home?” He points to his black Bentley. “Now, I’m offended.” I know he’s anything but angry with the cute smile he flashes me.
“No offense, your car is great and all, but the problem has nothing to do with the car.”
“So, what is the problem, then?”
I groan, rolling my eyes as I look away from him. “Ethan, you and I both know what happened the last time you offered to give me a ride.”
His smile widens as he nods in understanding. “Uh…now I see. But if I remember correctly, we both wanted what happened that night.” He takes a few steps closer so we are standing side by side, and he brings his lips closer to my ear.
“Jessy, darling, are you scared that you won’t be able to keep your hands to yourself on the ride to your apartment?”
His breath fans against my skin, sending shivers through my whole body. I have to take a few deep, steady breaths before I could get any coherent word out.
“That wasn’t what I said.” I take a few steps away from him before any of the other workers see us. I don’t want them getting ideas.
“But it seems like that’s what you’re implying.”
“Why are you insistent on taking me home, anyway?”
“Because it will be cruel of me not to. I hate to see my employees in need and not help out.”
“So, you give all your employees a ride home when it’s about to rain?”
He doesn’t answer my question; he just walks over to his Bentley and holds the back door open for me. “Get in, Jessy. I would hate to see you wet, at least not out here with everyone watching. Except you are into such things, of course,” he says, winking at me.
My mouth hangs open when I realize what he’s talking about. Not wanting to stay out here and argue with him, seeing that he was not going to give up and it might start raining any moment, I decided to get in.
“See? That wasn’t so hard,” he says, closing the door.
