“What about her?” he asked.

“I take it that cleavage is part of your employee dress code.”

He chuckled. “She’s not my type.”

“What is your type?” I asked unwillingly.

He placed his hands on my hips. “I didn’t even know I had one until I met you.” His eyes stared into mine.

I gulped. “Why don’t we head over to Baby Bellini, and you can show me that really cool stroller.”

He brought his finger to my chin and lightly ran it across my jawline. His eyes were seductive, and his lips were dangerously close to mine as he leaned in closer to me. I broke our moment. I knew he was about to kiss me, and I couldn’t let it happen. I was a hormonal mess and very vulnerable.

“We better go.” I walked towards the door, and I heard him sigh.

We stepped inside Baby Bellini, and instantly, the sales lady recognized me.

“Hello there. Did your furniture get delivered on time?” she asked with a smile.

“Yes, and it’s just as beautiful in the nursery as it was in your window display.”

“We’re here to look at that stroller you have in the window,” Max spoke.

“Ah, yes. That’s our new arrival. Come with me, and I’ll show you the special features.”

Suddenly, I felt like we were buying a car.

“As you can see, the seat is reversible and a simple one-step fold. This stroller is the only one you’ll ever need. The shock and suspension is unlike any other stroller, which makes for a smooth ride. It will keep the baby very happy, and a happy baby makes for happy parents.” She grinned. “It also comes with this bassinet, which attaches right here. Easy on, easy off.”

I glanced at the price tag. It was eight hundred dollars.

“What do you think, Emma?” Max asked.

“I think it’s great but a little on the expensive side for a stroller.”

“But, honey, your baby will be so comfortable in it. It also has an extra-large basket for the diaper bag and any other bags you may have. And the sunshade is extendable to shield that precious little one from the sun.”

“Sounds good to me. We’ll take it.” Max smiled.

As soon as Max paid for the stroller, he turned and looked at me. “Are you ready for lunch?”

“Do you think you can take me home? I’m not feeling well.”

“What’s wrong?” he asked with concern.

“My stomach hurts a bit, and I just want to lie down.”

“Of course. Let’s get you home right away.”

I stepped inside the apartment,walked straight to my bedroom, and lay on the bed. Max walked in and set a bottle of water on the nightstand.

“Thanks.”

“You’re welcome. Do I need to call your doctor?” he asked as he placed his hand on my forehead.

“No. I think I just need to sleep for a while.”

“Okay. I’ll be out there if you need anything.”
