“Why? Why would you even put that into the universe? If I’m going to be a mother, I’d like for it to be with someone I’m in a serious relationship with, not some guy I decided to bang one random night.”
Because Tate would be the daddy.
An image of him carrying a sweet little nugget tries to enter my mind, but I punch it back like my worst enemy. Definitelynotgoing there.
“That’s fair.” She grins devilishly. “But I can’t help but love the fact that you just said those words.Not some guy I decided to bang one random night.My baby girl is back.”
I roll my eyes. “Your baby girl isn’t back. First, I’m not your baby girl. And second, I’ve never been this person, so I can’t be back.”
“Semantics.”
“Can we get back to my day, please?” I ask, the wine beginning to warm my cheeks.
She takes a drink, telling me with her eyes to continue.
“So I went to work this morning, and we had a meeting,” I say. “We were supposed to learn what was going to happen now that my boss left.”
“Okay. Where are we going with this?”
“Well,” I say, setting my glass down. I can’t be trusted to hold it at this point in the story. “Guess who’s filling in for Charlie?”
“No clue.”
“Tate.”
She slow blinks.
“Tate, Jamie.The hottie from this weekend.”
Her jaw drops to the floor. “No.”
“Yes.”
“How?”
I cross one leg over the other and get settled in. “Apparently, Tate’s last name is Brewer. As in,he’s part owner of the franchise.”
Jamie gasps. “You banged a billionaire?”
I burst out laughing. “I guess so. I hadn’t thought of it like that.”
“You’re the new Anastasia Steele.”
My stomach clenches at the visual that pops up in my head. Being tied up has never appealed to me before, but now …
I shiver.
“How is this working out?” Jamie asks. “Was he cool with it?”
“I had the best night of my life with Kelly.” He winks. “And I’d do just about anything to see her again.”
I laugh, blowing out a heavy breath. “Oh, he’s cool with it.”
She narrows her eyes suspiciously.
“This man is something else,” I say. “He wasn’t supposed to take this position. He only did it after he realized I worked there.”
“Why do the gods love you so much?”
