awake.” Ivan hugged his brother. “Thanks for the
advice. I‘ll see you tomorrow.” Ivan got into his car still confused about what
he was going to do.
---------
“Hello?”
Brianna said in a hushed, groggy tone. It took her a few seconds to realize
where she was. “Shit.” Brianna said softly realizing where she was.
“What’s
wrong Bri?” Stephanie said.
“Nothing.
Is everything ok? It’s really late.” Brianna whispered.
“Why
are you whispering, where are you? Did I interrupt something? Bri, I am so
sorry, call me tomorrow.” Stephanie’s rapid fire questions had Brianna’s head spinning.
“No… .no , it’s fine, I have a few minutes. Uh, what’s wrong?”
Brianna asked trying to contain a yawn. Stephanie described her evening with
Ivan and as usual Bri talked her off the preverbal ledge and made her feel
better. Adam walked back into the room.
“Steph,
I have to go. We will talk tomorrow.” She said while eyeing Adam’s body as he
disrobed and got back in the bed.
“Ok,
have fun and do everything I wish I could do.” Stephanie jokingly said.
“Will
do.” Brianna said while disconnecting the call without another word, never
taking her eyes off of Adam as he moved between her legs.
Stephanie
hung up the cell phone feeling better about her situation and wondered whom Bri
was with. She always felt more grounded once she talked to her girl.
‘I know what I have to do.’ She smiled,
as she got ready for bed.
CHAPTER EIGHT
THURSDAY, JULY 7 th
Stephanie
was dressed and waiting for Ivan, since her car was still at work. She decided
to have a conversation about how they intended to handle their attraction to
each other. If he was not interested in a relationship, then their relationship
would strictly be a professional one: no dinners, no more rides home and definitely no more kissing. God, she loved the way he kissed. She started feeling warm just thinking about him. The doorbell rang, ‘here we go’ she thought. She opened the door and to her surprise Danny, Ivan’s driver, was
standing there.
“Good morning, madam, you ready to go?” He said in a chipper
voice.
“Where’s, Ivan?” Stephanie asked.
“He
asked me to pick you up. He had to be in the office before 7:00 a.m. Are you ready?”
‘So, you’re trying to avoid me Mr. Quinn?
Well, that’s fine with me.’
Stephanie
was so busy at work that she looked at the clock and realized it was 4:00 p.m.
There was no sign of Ivan. She finished up her assignments and headed home.
FRIDAY,
JULY 8 th
Stephanie
arrived at work and her desk was piled with assignments that needed to be done
immediately, she delved in to her work. She did notice that Ivan was in his
office but she was so busy she did not even think about Ivan and the
conversation she needed to have with him. The day flew by and before she looked
around again the day was done and according to Betty, Ivan had apparently left
for the day. ‘Well, I guess we won’t have
that conversation today, but we will resolve this thing between us Ivan.’ She said to herself as she left the office to meet her friends for dinner.
Stephanie
arrived at the restaurant early and decided to get a table and have a drink
while she was waiting. She was deep in thought when she heard a deep voice,
“Hello stranger.” Lawrence said bringing her out of her thoughts.
“Hey
Lawrence, long time no see. How’s life treating you or better yet, how’s Tara
treating you?”
“I’m
glad you asked. Do you mind if I sit?” He said.
She
motioned her hands for him to have a sit. “So, what are you doing here?” Stephanie asked.
“I
just finished up with some clients. So, why are you eating alone?”
“I’m
actually early, waiting for my girls.”
“Speaking
of your
advice. I‘ll see you tomorrow.” Ivan got into his car still confused about what
he was going to do.
