My eyes grew. “Quiet.”
Tonya stepped into my bay, sitting on my desk. She swept her fingers through her short spiky hair. “Spill.” A wide smile flashed across her caramel-colored face.
“There isn’t much to tell. I met a man at the bar. We talked then I propositioned him.”
I moved my fingers swiftly over the keyboard entering my log in code. I tried holding a straight face.
“What!”
I glanced at her. Her mouth dropped open and her brown eyed widened.
“We agreed to text each other #OH, which stands for the Occasional Hook-Up.” I reclined in my seat, biting my bottom lip. “The sex was the best I ever had.” I gleamed.
She nudged my arm. “Girl! I ain’t mad. Besides, you’ve been so cranky you needed that dick.” She chuckled.
“Was his dick average?”
“No, huge! And he is a drop-dead gorgeous brain surgeon.”
“Wow! Looks like you found Mr. Right.”
My eyebrows rustled together. “No. We are only hooking up. I don’t have time for a man with everything going on with my dad’s shop.”
“That’s too bad.”
I entered Ethan’s name in an internet search. His handsome face popped up on the screen.
Tonya leaned in closer. “That man is a walking Greek god!”
I turned to Tonya, smiling. “That’s what I said. I told him he looks like Adonis the Greek god. How funny you and I thought the same thing.” I chuckled.
Tonya ran her hands down her red knee length dress. She peeked across the office. “Malaysia, I’ll be back at break time.”
She shook her head side to side. “I want all the dirty details.” We laughed.
“Ok.”
For the next five minutes I scoured the internet in search of Ethan’s car. An article appeared about Ethan’s father. “Shit, his family is rich.” I stated in a low voice.
His father, Stewart Daniels, was a chemist and world-renowned scientist. In the photo, his father and the CEO of Bugatti stood beside the concept car Ethan drove. Most men bragged about all of their accomplishments. Not Ethan.
My thoughts wandered. Last night Ethan had another nightmare. I sat up and massaged his shoulders, then he pulled me into his arms again. I circled the tattoo on his chest with two fingers. His lips melted against the top of my head.
“I love having you here,” he murmured in his sleep.
What was it about Ethan and I that made us work? I knew what it was, there was no pressure of either of us pestering the other about having a relationship. No labels made everything easier. I exhaled, and a wide grin took over my face.
Near the end of break, Tonya said my steamy Ethan stories belonged in a book. And that I was crazy for ruling out oral sex. She left my cubical fanning herself.
While working on branding for our precious client, I decided to work on branding for my dad’s shop, too.
“Special delivery for Malaysia Newton.”
My heartbeat increased, and my eyes almost fell out of my head. The humongous bouquet of yellow roses were beautiful. “Yes, that’s me. I cleared a space on my desk. You can place the flowers right here.”
“Sign, please.”
After signing the mini machine, I scanned the office. Everyone stood staring. I smiled, then sat down, retrieving the card.
