fond of his secretary slash surrogate mother, but he couldn't let her figure everything out for him. He looked at his watch. Four more hours until he had to pick Andy up. He felt that familiar wave of excitement seep into him. Turning back to the computer, he tried to hang in there just a few more hours.
***
Andy felt a bit off center. She had a rough day at work. The hotel was extremely busy with tourists and general business. Sara, her manager, was trying to convince her to work nights. That was an impossibility! It would mean finding someone to keep Harper all night and Andy really didn't like that idea. Besides Harper still hadn't gotten her days and nights figured out.
Rachel had called to say Harper was fidgeting and rebelling sleep. Nothing new there! It did make this date with Matt seem like a bad idea. She couldn't leave an irritated baby with a complete stranger. It wasn't fair. On top of it all, she had gotten a weird phone call at work from a woman. The mystery woman hadn't left a name. She had just said getting too friendly with Matt Johnson would lead to bad things. Honestly it had creeped Andy out. How could this woman know about Matt? Why would it lead to bad things? It really hadn't made much sense and now it only ticked her off. She should be used to strange people and strange phone calls at a hotel by now.
Still she was getting ready for this date with Matt. Harper sat in her car seat in the bathroom watching Andy put on her mascara after straightening her long hair. She was going to leave it down. Usually she put it back in a ponytail with Harper, but tonight she decided to let it frame her face. Her green eyes seemed to pop with the darker lashes and bluish green lace top she wore.
She had stood in her closet for twenty minutes trying to decide what to wear. Where were they going? Dinner? Movie? Dancing? Andy had settled on a dark wash pair of blue jeans and this bluish green lace top that fell off one shoulder. Her figure wasn't quite as trim as it had been before Harper, but she didn't feel excessively changed either. She had gained some curves by becoming a mother. Harper gurgled in her happy way. Andy smiled at her daughter.
Spritzing some of her favorite body spray on her neck and wrists, she made one final cursory check on her appearance. Satisfied, if ever a woman can be, Andy picked up the carrier and took Harper with her to the living room. Sitting down in the recliner and leaning slightly forward, she pulled her brown boots on over her pant legs. The calf-high boots were not new, but she hadn't had much of an occasion to wear them. Standing up, she twirled for Harper. The baby offered a goofy, lop-sided smile and Andy couldn't help but feel excited for the first time in quite a while.
Knock. Knock. Andy felt her heart speed up as she stooped to pull Harper out of her car seat. Balancing the baby on her hip, she went to the door and opened it. Oh sweet Lord! I want that! Her thoughts zoomed out of control before she could even rein them in. Matt stood in the doorway with a bouquet of wild flowers and a smile that meant everything naughty. Suddenly it was blazing hot in the apartment as she stepped out of his way to let him inside.
Her green eyes drank in the glorious sight of a well figured man in Wrangler jeans. Her stomach twisted. He had worn a blue plaid western button-up shirt tucked into those hip hugging jeans. Black Justin boots completed the look of a sinfully rugged man. Already everything Andy wore felt restrictive. Shaking off the inappropriate thoughts, she closed the door and smiled at Matt.
"How are my two best girls tonight?" His voice was low and husky. Sexy! Matt grinned at her as if he knew exactly what she was thinking. Hell he probably did considering how they were wrapped up in each other's arms last night. She cleared her throat, fighting off a blush.
"Harper is going to be a handful. I really don't think we should leave her with your brother. Rachel couldn't even
