Something About Lorelei(29)
“What? You can charge me for that card.”
She typed the information into her computer and I handed her my credit card as I wrote an apology to Lorelei.
Lorelei,
I’m sorry for what I said. I hope you can forgive me. I don’t want things to be tense between us in the office on Monday.

“I need these delivered today and as soon as possible.”
“Very well, Mr. Sutton. I hope she accepts your apology.” She smirked.
“So do I.”
Chapter Nineteen
Lorelei
When I arrived home, the first thing on my mind was taking a hot, relaxing bath. My mom and Nick wouldn’t be bringing Hope home for a few more hours, so I had a little time to myself. Walking into the bathroom, I started the water and poured some vanilla-scented bubble bath under the stream. Twisting up my hair, I looked at myself in the mirror. Who did I see staring back at me? A stupid woman full of regret. Before climbing into the tub, my phone rang. It was Stella.
“Hello.”
“I’ve been waiting all morning with my phone glued to my hand for your call telling me all about last night.”
“I’m sorry. It’s been a crazy morning. I’m just getting into the tub. Come over. I need to talk to you.”
“Are you okay?”
“I don’t know. I slept with Jack.”
“Oh shit! I’m on my way!” Click.
I climbed into the bubbly water and sank down until it reached the top of my neck. It wasn’t too long before Stella came over, running into the bathroom, and out of breath.
“What did you do? Run here?” I asked.
“Pretty much,” she spoke breathlessly. Setting her purse down on the bathroom counter, she pulled up the stool I had in the bathroom and sat down next to the tub.
“Tell me everything. I want every last fucking juicy detail.”
I sighed. “One minute we were at the bar talking and the next we were in a private room kissing. Then we went back to his place and had some serious mind-blowing sex.”#p#分页标题#e#
“Eeek! How big was he? Was he really extra-large worthy?” She grinned.
“Yes. He is extremely blessed in the goods department. I was really nervous that it wasn’t going to fit.”
She waved her hand in front of her face. “Oh please. You popped out a kid. Speaking of which, did you tell him about Hope?”
“No. I couldn’t.”
There was a knock on the door and Stella looked at me. “Are you expecting anyone?”
“No. My mom won’t be bringing Hope home for a few more hours.”
“I’ll go see who it is, and then, when I get back, I want to hear more about this amazing night.”
She got up from the stool and left the bathroom. Grabbing the loofah from the shelf, I soaked it in the bubbly water and ran it across my arm.
“Look what you got!” She smiled as she walked into the bathroom holding a beautiful arrangement of red and white roses.
“Who are those from?”
“Hmm. I wonder.” She smiled. “Here’s the card.”
“You open it. My hands are wet.”
You’d think I had just given her a gift by her giddy reaction.
“Lorelei, I’m sorry for what I said. I hope you can forgive me. I don’t want things to be tense between us in the office on Monday. Jack. What the hell did he say? Oh my God, did you leave angry? Did you two have a fight? You just had sex. How could you have a fight?”
Taking in a deep breath, I told her to calm down.
“I told him about Brett and how I hadn’t had sex in seven years.”
“Oy. Why did you tell him about the not having sex part?” She looked at me as she crossed her eyes. She knew I hated when she did that.
“First of all, stop doing that, and second of all, I just told him. He proceeded to tell me how ridiculous that was. So I asked him if he’d ever been in love and he told me no. Which I’m not surprised because I don’t think the man is capable of love. He even admitted he was a little insensitive. I just told him that when he does fall in love with someone in his lifetime, to get back to me about how he would feel if something were to happen to that person. Then I left.”
“Damn. What an asshole. But he did send you flowers and apologized.” She scrunched her face.
“Only because he doesn’t want things to be tense at the office on Monday. He said so himself.”
“True. But he could have just sent you a text message saying that. He took the extra step and sent flowers, and you know his PA didn’t do it for him.” She smiled. “He did it himself.”
“Why are you defending him?”
“I’m not. He’s a total douchebag. You had sex. First time in seven years, may I add, and you said it was mind blowing. Take it for what it is and move on.”
