“Yes. I should be there around eleven.”

“Okay. I can’t wait to hear all about your date. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.” She smirked.

The cab driver pulled up to the curb of the Trump Hotel, and I saw Jackson standing outside waiting for me. Upon opening the door, he walked over and held out his hand.

“You look beautiful.” He smiled as he took hold of my hand and helped me from the cab.

“Thank you. You look quite handsome yourself.”

When we approached the hostess's desk, a brunette greeted us and immediately walked us over to our table.

“Have you ever eaten here?” Jackson asked.

“I’ve been here a couple of times.”

“With your other men, I presume.” He smirked.

“Yes. And one of them forgot his wallet at home, and I ended up paying the bill.”

“I can assure you that you won’t be paying the bill tonight.” He winked.

As we looked over our menus, the tall skinny waitress came over to take our drink order.

“We’ll have a bottle of champagne,” Jackson spoke.

“Very good. I'll take your dinner order as soon as I bring that over.”

“What are you going to have?” he asked as he looked up from his menu.

“I think the beef tenderloin.”

His brow arched as he smiled. “Ah, a girl who likes meat.”

I couldn’t help but laugh. “The women you date don’t eat meat?”

“They mostly eat lettuce.”

“Well, I like my meat.”

“That’s something I like to hear.” The corners of his mouth turned into a sly grin, and I could feel my face redden.

The waitress brought over our champagne, poured some into each glass, and then took our order.

“So,” I picked up my glass and sipped champagne, “tell me about Jackson Caine. I want all the dirt.” I smiled.

“Well, I’m thirty years old. You know I have a sister. Did I mention that she’s my twin?”

“Really? Wait a minute. If your sister is your twin, it was also your birthday.”

“You are correct.” He smiled.

I raised my glass to him. “Happy belated birthday.”

“Thank you, Emily.” He brought his glass to mine.

“May I ask what you do for work?”

“I’m the CEO of Caine Property Development & Management, which I took over for my father after his retirement.”
