ridiculous as arse or bollocks .”
I give him another light poke in the ribs as I say it, letting him know that I’m teasing him. Judging by the look on his face, he doesn’t get the joke, at all.
“Sod off! You Yanks are all off your trolleys…”
I erupt in laughter. He includes a few other choice words after that, but between his heavy accent, the foreign slang, and my own gasps for air between laughs, I can’t make out any of it. He must not be too upset, though, because before long his face spreads into a huge smile, too, and he begins laughing right along with me. A few minutes pass before we’re able to contain ourselves.
When we finally settle down, Isaac wraps his arm around me and pulls me even tighter against his body. As I’m smiling up at him, something occurs to me that I hadn’t thought of before. I give him a curious look.
“Aren’t you forgetting something?”
He frowns.
“What are you on about?”
“Weren’t there supposed to be five cards? I’ve only seen four.”
“Oh, that…” He shifts nervously.
The grin on my face widens a little more, and I give him a little push in the ribs.
“I guess not all of your big plans for the date came through, did they? I was starting to think you had everything all figured out.”
Isaac’s jaw drops open and he gives me a dejected look.
“Sod off, everything is just like I planned.”
“Oh really? So did you just forget about the fifth card?”
“Of course not. We’re still on the date, aren’t we?”
My brow knits down.
“I suppose we are…”
He looks a little more determined, giving me a sharp nod of his head.
“I didn’t miss anything, at all.” He gives me one more curious look before he reaches over and slides open the drawer to the nightstand. When he turns back to face me my heart skips a beat. In his hand there’s one more tiny, monogrammed envelope. He gives me a long look before holding it out to me. “See, I didn’t forget.”
I stare at this envelope longer than I stared at the others before I break the seal on it. For some reason, this one feels heavier—not its weight, but its significance. When I pull the card out, it takes my eyes all of an instant to scan the words printed on it.
My jaw drops open when I read those words. I stare up at him, dumfounded and speechless.
“Really?” I ask, not sure what else to say.
Chapter 15
Fridays at work seem to go unnaturally slower than any other day of the week. I’m thankful when Declan leaves early for an offsite meeting. I don’t feel quite so guilty about cutting out a little early to go to a little meeting of my own.
Tawny and I meet outside of the Trump Tower before she has to get ready for her shift. We’ve been talking about going there to do some shopping for a while, so when she said she was going to be seeing Calvin Black again, it gave us the perfect excuse to go check it out.
The Trump Tower is elegant in a way that I never imagined possible. Between all of the swanky stores and the elegant dining I’m certain I can get lost in here for days on end and not even notice. It’s so grandiose I’m certain I’m going to have to come back at least three more times just to check out everything it has to offer. While we walk around in search of the perfect outfit for her, I tell her all about everything that happened with Isaac the night before.
“Are you serious?” Tawny’s eyes look like they’re about to pop out of her head as she grabs my arm and rounds on me. “What did you say?”
I shrug my shoulder, suddenly self-conscious.
“I told him I needed to think about it.”
Her jaw manages to drop open even wider.
“The guy you’re crazy about asks you to go away with him for a weekend and you tell him that you need to think about it?”
“What’s wrong with taking a little time to think about it?”
She gives me a look like I’m the most insane person in the world.
