“It will be even more fun for you!” Katharina leaned forward and poked his knee. “I will show you the best places in Los Angeles. What food do you like?”
“Everything.”
She smirked. “I will give you the best food you have ever put in your mouth.”
“I’m drooling already,” he said, his face practically glowing.
This can’t be happening, Lillian thought.
“So?” he asked. “What about it?”
“You should come to Los Angeles with all of us, Lil,” Cayden yelled from the kitchen.
She stared at her feet, thinking hard. How is this happening again?
“Lillian! Come on. This will be so much fun. We’ve never taken a big trip like this together,” Andrew pushed.
“I will spoil him, I give my word,” Katharina said. “Andrew will be in the best hands.”
Lillian took a breath, and told herself everything would be okay with rescheduling her two appointments. “Fine,” she agreed at last. “Okay, fine, I’ll make it work.”
“She’s going!” Andrew called to Cayden.
“I figured she couldn’t say no to Katharina.” Cayden’s laugh made Lily’s chest warm.
Katharina smiled, still looking as peaceful and poised as ever. “Wonderful,” she said, unlocking her phone and typing something. “We leave tomorrow.”
Chapter 08
“I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT we should do tonight,” Cayden said two days later. It was morning, in L.A. They’d been there a couple days and things had been go go go since arriving. Katharina didn’t like to wait, not that Lily minded. However, Cayden’s early morning wake-ups were sometimes too early. He began nuzzling against her neck.
Lillian yawned, partially annoyed, partially jealous at how awake he was. “Someone’s ready to get started with their day,” she grumbled, snuggling up next to him. “Shhh... let’s go back to sleep.”
Too excited to cuddle, he sat up and started playing with her fingers. “Guess what I have in mind.”
“Sex?” Maybe a quickie and she could sleep for another ten minutes. She opened her eyes halfway, trying to focus on his handsome face.
“Besides that,” he winked, “but that, too, of course. But, no, guess what else I have in mind.”
“I don’t know, Cayden,” she said, trying to pull the covers up over her head. “It’s too early.”
“It’s never too early for fun.”
“You want to do something this morning?” she asked. “I have to go work on Katharina’s guest house and—”
“Not this morning,” he corrected. “Tonight.”
“I really don’t know. Coffee first, then I’ll try to guess.”
“Here’s a hint: we didn’t get to do it last time you were here in Los Angeles.”
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t think of anything he might be talking about. “I’m lost.”
“It’s near this hotel...” He looked at her intensely, like he was trying to give her the answer through telepathy. She stared at him blankly, and he gave up. “Remember that café with live music I wanted to take you to?”
“Oh, yeah. I had to fly to Rodney to be with Andrew. His accident was that day.”
“Yep. It’s walking distance from here, remember? We should go tonight. I heard from a client they have a good band playing this evening, and then a DJ coming later.”
