I open my eyes, and Jordan is fully dressed in a dark blue suit, white shirt, and red tie with blue and gray shapes that remind me of sperm.
“Do you want me to come with you?”
“As much as I would love that, you would be a distraction.”
I feel hurt and frown, then bury my head in my pillow. Jordan, sensing his choice of words, was ill-chosen, tries to correct himself.
“Emma, I don’t mean to say you would be a distraction in a bad way. What I mean is that I wouldn’t be able to concentrate with you so close. I’d want to pay all my attention to you. If I have any chance of spending part of the day and tonight with you, I need to go to the meeting alone.”
“What should I do today?”
“Anything you like. I can have the limo at your disposal after I’m dropped off. There are plenty of things to do and see in Vancouver or Portland. You could go for a walk by the river. I can give you some money for shopping.”
I look at him in horror, “Jordan, we’re bordering on the high priced whore again.”
“Emma, I told you never to say that again. Ever.”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t need you to give me money. I don’t want to be kept.”
“I understand, but I want to treat you. You’re my guest.”
“And you’ve done enough already. The clothes, suitcases, this trip. It’s all too much.”
“I didn’t realize it bothered you.”
“I appreciate it, but you need to stop.”
“Fine. The limo is at your disposal. You can go anywhere you like. I’m hoping to have this deal sewn up by afternoon. I’ll text or call you when I’m on my way. I’d like to take you to dinner tonight. Is that acceptable?”
“It is though I’d like to stay here.”
“We’ll discuss it when I come home. I have to leave. The sooner I get to it, the sooner I can get back to you. Enjoy your day.”
He presses a hard kiss to my lips, and then he’s gone leaving the lingering scent of his cologne. It’s only 6:30 AM, and I decide to go back to sleep. I have the most wonderful dream about Jordan, and I wake feeling horny and naughty. I wish he were here to satisfy me. I could satisfy myself, but I prefer to wait for him. I want to be filled with need by the time he comes home.
It’s later than I wished to sleep. I jump out of bed with the knowledge that I forgot to let Nathaniel know where I was going. He might not even have a clue that I’m gone, and I know he’s angry at me, but I need to let him know. I find the undershirt I wore the night before on the floor and slip it on. I need to locate my purse. It’s sitting on the counter in the kitchen, and I fish out my cell.
I have several messages, and two missed calls from Nate. I feel like shit. I know we haven’t been getting along, but the tone of the texts and the voicemail is anxious.
Nate, I’m out of town for the weekend with Jordan. It was last minute.
I don’t expect an answer because Nathaniel worked the night before. It’s 9:40 AM here, so it’s 12:40 PM in New York. He’s probably been sleeping for several hours. His routine on Saturday mornings is to get in around five, and either fucks the woman he brought home or eat and then sleep. He will probably be in bed for another hour or two before I get an answer.
However, I get one back immediately.
Where the fuck are you? I was worried sick when I came home, and your bed was empty. Why didn’t you tell me?
We aren’t exactly on speaking terms. I thought you wouldn’t care.
Emma, I care more than you know. I’m sorry about our argument. I was ready to call the police. I called Megan, Lexi, and Angie, they said they hadn’t heard from you.
Fuck. My sisters must be freaking out. I don’t do things like this even though they always call me a flake.
What did they say? Were they upset?
They were ready to call the police, too. Don’t ever do this shit again. You better call them because they were going to call your parents.
I will. I’m sorry. I don’t want you to be angry with me anymore.
