I must say it is nic e to wake up to a gorgeous half-naked guy cooking me breakfast.”
“If Jared saw me cooking like this he would give me a lecture about kitchen accidents and appropriate clothing. I don’t pay any attention.”
She laughed. “Well, I don’t mind one bit.” She came up behind him and ran her hands over his chest and stomach.
“You doing that will cause an accident. How about you sit down so I c an serve you breakfast?” She sat and he dished out breakfast on two plates and brought it over to the table. “What time are you working today?”
“I have to be on the set at eight. It’s a night shoot.”
“At the foreshore?”
“Yes, how did you know?”
“Because I, sexy lady, will be photographing you again.”
“Good. The thought of working with anyone else doesn’t appeal to me.”
“Now eat,” he said as he poured her coffee which had been sitting in a pot on the set table. In the center stood a vase filled with flowers that she assumed he’d picked from the front garden.
“You have been busy this morning.”
“I wanted to impress you.” He shrugged as color touched his cheeks again. She could get used to the coy side.
“Well , I’m suitably impressed.”
After eating his yummy breakfast , Isabelle reluctantly decided she had better go home and get some more sleep. Going to work with bags big enough to travel the world wouldn’t exactly impress the client. He agreed, stating he should as well. Mitch walked her home and they both slept the afternoon away with pleasant dreams of their passionate night.
Chapter Ten
Conquest
Mitch’s dream-filled afternoon slumber was cut short by the shrilling of the phone. He glanced with bleary eyes at the time. The red digits on his clock radio told him it was four-thirty and he had only caught up on a few hours. Reaching for the phone, he cleared the sleep from his throat before answering.
“Yep, it’s Mitch.”
“Hey.”
“What’s up, Jared?”
“I need a favor.”
“Anything.”
“Chelsea just had her baby. A girl.”
“That’s great news. What do you need from me , though?”
“It is good news and the baby is fine but Chelsea had complications from the birth and lost a lot of blood. She’s in surgery at the moment. I don’t want to leave Charlotte alone here at the hospital and she won’t leave until she has news about Chelsea. I have to go to work and I have no-one to cover me while Sam is on vacation.”
“Say no more. One quick phone call for work and I’ll be there.”
“Thanks.”
After ringing the agency that coordinated his schedule, he jumped in the shower and headed to the hospital. His mind circled around what Charlotte and Chelsea’s husband Lucas must be going through and hoped she would be alright. His thoughts went to Isabelle for a brief moment and he wondered if he should call her but didn’t want to disturb her in case she was still resting. He would see her at their shoot tomorrow and believed she would understand why he hadn’t called or attended the shoot that evening.
Mitch found Charlotte sitting in the waiting room on one of the hard uncomfortable plastic chairs. Her slumped shoulders, lowered head, and shaking leg indicated her tension and worry. Vacant eyes studied the floor while her hands were clenched together in her lap, turning her knuckles white. Lucas paced the lino floor while his sister Carrie offered words of reassurance. Mitch went to Lucas first and passed on his support and congratulations. He nodded his acknowledgement and continued to pace.
Charlotte still hadn’t seemed to have noticed his arrival , so he went over to her, sat in the chair beside her and spoke softly so he wouldn’t startle her.
“Hey, Charlotte. How are you holding up?”
“I’m fine. Chelsea will be OK,” she said, though Mitch thought she didn’t sound very convinced.
“Where is she?”
“Still in surgery. It’s been a while now ... Too long
