best to ignore his messages and calls; I even managed to not run into him for the entire day. Stevie said he asked about me during lunch, but I said I didn’t want to hear any messages from him, unless he had any questions about my work, so in other words, if it wasn’t urgent she should keep it to herself; I didn’t have time for his petty games.
“Your hiding-in-your-work -cave tactic won’t work forever,” Jill said, entering my office when I was just about to leave.
“I’m not hiding from anyone,” I snapped back.
She gave me an all-knowing look and shook her head, saying, “You two are like two children fighting over a piece of candy or each other’s toys.”
“Leave y our dirty comparisons for later,” I said and glared at her.
She laughed quietly behind me. “I didn’t mean anything dirty, but if your mind automatically puts Dominick and a piece of candy or a toy in a dirty fantasy, you should seriously think about taking the pressure off of your tensed lower-body muscles.”
I rolled my eyes. “I am not even thinking about Dominick. Okay?”
“If you say so,” she said with a small grin that told me she knew I was lying.
“Why are we even talking about me?” I asked, turning to face her. “I called you last night and your sister said that you were on a date. Who’s the lucky guy? Do I know him?”
She hesitated with a reply, it was so unlike the girl who never knew how to stop the flood of words flying out of her lips.
“ No,” she said, flipping through one of the magazines on my desk. “You don’t know him.”
I raised my eyebrows, surprised at her reddening face. “What is this cheeks-blushing thing about? You don’t usually get embarrassed talking about your conquests.”
She smiled mischievously and said , “You won’t believe it.”
“That only makes me even more curious.”
“ His name is Mark. We met at the club the night you and my boss... Never mind,” she shook her head. “So he asked me out. And I liked our date. A lot.”
“Wait, it was the day before yesterday and I am just now hearing about it without you telling me, but your sister? And last night you were with him again?”
“Yep.”
“Wow… Two nights in a row with the same guy! Are you going to set a new personal record?” I grinned wickedly.
“Shut up.” She laughed. “I like him .” She lowered her eyes to the floor to hide her expression.
“This is exactly what you say about every new guy you date.”
“Not every new guy. I didn’t say it about my new boss.”
I waved it off. “He doesn’t count , you didn’t go on a date with him.”
“I think that Mark might be different from anyone I have ever dated. He’s kind and sweet and such a great kisser. And his hands can do real magic to my-”
I cut her off, “Okay, I got the point. You liked sleeping with him. But let me remind you that this is not the first time it has happened.”
“Yes, but it is still different.”
“Okay, I’ll accept that for the time being. Now, why don’t we call it a day?”
“Are you going to accept Dominick’s invitation?”
“No.” I was being short, but I didn’t think it needed an explanation.
“Are you sure about that? He looked very excited when he asked me to give you his address.” The pig had some nerve to involve my best friend into his sick mind games.
“I ’ll bet he did.”
“And?” S he asked, watching me expectedly.
“ And as I have already said, I’m not going anywhere but home.”
It was the end of my conversation with Jillia n, and at that very moment, I was sure as hell I wouldn’t change my mind.
Now, standing in front of the mirror in my bathroom, I was wondering how far this game with the devil would go? In the end, there was only one way to find out…
Following Dominick’s instructions , I didn’t bother putting on too many clothes. I was even a little curious about what his reaction to my outfit would be. Even though I hadn’t had any serious
