I'll be even more grateful."
At that moment the waiter came to take their
order. Roy insisted on champagne to toast the occasion. Ettie
reminded him that she needed to have a hospitable womb. They spent
the afternoon getting to know one another better. Ettie told him
about Lily. Roy smiled at the way she glowed when she spoke of her.
Roy told her about his family, about his nieces and nephews and a
little more about himself. Ettie opened up to him about Andrea and
her recent illness. It was easy to talk to Roy, and Roy found it easy
to talk to Ettie. Before they knew it they had spent two hours at the
restaurant.
"Look at the time. I can't believe that's it's so late. I need
to go pick Lily up from dance class."
Roy glanced at his watch.
"It's been almost three hours. I can't believe they didn't throw
us out," Roy joked.
He signaled the waiter for the check. Roy walked with her to the
valet where he also waited for his car.
"Henrietta, thank you so much, you'll never know what this means
to me," he said hugging her.
She felt good about her decision.
"Roy, if we're going to be working together I think you should
call me Ettie. I actually dislike Henrietta," she said laughing.
"Henrietta is a mouthful. I like Ettie. Trust me I know, my
first name is actually Royston."
When the valet brought Ettie's car around, she flushed with
embarrassment. She never
thought about it but Roy was in a different class from her. Her
little 2000 Toyota Corolla stuck out like a sore thumb around here.
Right behind them another valet pulled up with a sleek black Acura.
"This is me, obviously," she said pointing at the car. Roy
didn't make any comments, instead he held her door open and flashed
his brilliant smile once again.
"So I'll see you tomorrow morning to sign the paperwork," she said with a bright smile of
her own.
As she drove off she felt butterflies in her stomach. Roy Gardner was
an amazing man. He was funny, he was kind, he was smart and
interesting. And he was gorgeous. That thought stopped Ettie dead in
her tracks. She shouldn't be thinking like this. It wasn't a first
date. What was wrong with her? This was just a business transaction,
he was going to be the father of the child she was carrying. For
another woman. She chalked it up to all the hormones from the
medication, still she could not help but feel slightly envious of
Melissa Gardner as she made her way home.
When Roy got home Melissa still wasn't there and still had not
called. He thought about calling her but this was something he wanted
to tell her in person. Melissa didn't get home until about three
hours later. At this point he was emotional.
“ Where were you?” he asked as soon as
she opened the door.
“ I was with the client,” Melissa said
defiantly, not used to his tone.
“ Why didn't you call me back?” Roy
questioned.
“ My phone was in my purse. I didn’t
check it until the meeting was over and then I was already on my way
home. What is going on Roy?”
“ I needed to talk to you. I had to meet
Ettie all by myself,” Roy complained.
“ Ettie?” Melissa questioned.
“ Henrietta doesn't like to be called by her
full name. She prefers to go by Ettie. You would know that if you
were there.”
“ Well that's rude,” Melissa said
sarcastically.
“ I’m sorry. I was waiting for your
call,” Roy said. “I thought you would have at least
wanted to know what happened.”
“ I was busy at work,” Melissa said
slamming her briefcase on the table. “I'm sorry that I can't
just drop everything last minute. This is my company. I'm the one
who's responsible when things fall apart.
“ I work for my own company too,” Roy
said. “This was important Melissa.”
“ Oh please,” Melissa scoffed, rolling
her eyes. “You work for Daddy.”
She paused seeing the hurt and shocked look on Roy’s face.
“ I'm sorry. I didn't mean that,” she
corrected. “I am sorry, I just had a really long day. I know
this was important but my
