“Hello, friend.” Her face appeared on the screen as she sat at her desk.
“Guess who’s leaving for Vegas tomorrow morning?”
“I don’t know. Your parents?”
“No, silly girl. Me! Sebastian asked me to go with him, and I said yes. So I will be unavailable starting tomorrow through Sunday.”
“The man is wising up. I’m so happy for you.”
“This could really be the start of something, Sienna. I’m totally crazy about him.”
“Listen, Chloe, and don’t take this the wrong way. You know I love you, but for the love of God, don’t get yourself caught up in him. I don’t want you to get hurt. I have never seen you react like this to a guy before, and, to be honest, it’s scaring me.”
I rolled my eyes at her.
“Don’t roll your eyes at me. You know it’s true. I’m just looking out for your well-being.”
“And I appreciate that, but this is all your fault.”
“How the hell is it my fault?” She frowned.
“You’re the one who pushed me into having a one-night stand with a stranger in a foreign country. Had you never done that in the first place, I never would have thought about it and acted on it. Hence, this being all your fault.” I smiled.
“Oh my God! You’re so good.” She laughed. “I have to go, darling. Sam just walked in, and we’re going to lunch. Say hi to Chloe.” She turned the phone so I could see him.
“Hello there, gorgeous.” He smiled as he waved.
“Hey, Sam. Enjoy lunch, and I’ll talk to you later, Sienna.”
“Have fun in Vegas, and I want all the juicy details when you get back. Or feel free to FaceTime me while you’re in bed. I’d love to see him naked.” She winked.
After ending the call, I finished the work I was going to do tomorrow and headed home to pack a bag.
When the bellhopunlocked the door to the suite, I gulped as I stepped inside of the Italian marble foyer. Sebastian walked past, stopped, and looked at me as I stood there frozen.
“What’s wrong?” He chuckled.
“This is so beautiful.”
“Please step inside to the main area. If you think the foyer is beautiful, wait until you see the rest.” He held out his hand.
Placing my hand in his, he escorted me into the living room.
“Wow. Seriously?” I smiled.
“Seriously.” He winked.
“How big is this suite?”
“Approximately two thousand square feet.”
Italian marble, furnishings, and décor surrounded me. The room was impeccably decorated, and the artwork on the walls spoke for itself.
“Would you like to see the bedroom?” Sebastian asked.
“Of course. I’m sure it’s bigger than my apartment.”
He narrowed his eyes at me for a moment. “Yeah. I think it is.”
