“Seriously?” Letty asks, shocked.
“Yes,” I answer. “I went through my closet today just to be prepared, and there is nothing date -worthythere. I didn’t even have a short little black dress.”
To be honest, this is surprising. I remember that one memory I had of Ethan. We went on a date and Ihad a pretty tight red dress. Not that I was planning to wear it, but it wasn’t in my closet. I had nothingbut some pair of jeans and sundresses.
“Worry not, our dear friend, we will help you… In fact, I think we should go shopping,” Corrine beamedin a sing–song voice.
That sounded exciting, but I couldn’t help but wonder about Iris. I didn’t want to bring her alongbecause we all know that shopping is a long and tiring process, but I also didn’t want to leave her here.
“I don’t know,” I murmur, biting my lips.
It’s not that I didn’t trust Teresa, but I just didn’t feel comfortable leaving her with her. It would havebeen okay if Noah or Rowan were around, but they weren’t.
“It’s about Iris, isn’t it?” Letty asks while searching my eyes.
Instead of answering, I just nod my head. I really wanted to go shopping. I’ve been cooped up in thishouse for so long that it’s driving me crazy. Besides, I wanted this experience. I never had girl friendsgrowing up. No friends to go shopping with or talk about boys and such stuff. This was all new, eventhough I know we’ve probably done this before, so I wanted to experience it.
“If it troubles you so much, I can lend you one of my dresses so that we can bring Iris with us. We canalways go shopping at a later date,” Corrine suggests, and I smile.
I’ve only interacted with these two a couple of times, but so far, I like them a lot. They’re kind, lovely,and pretty great friends. No wonder I became friends with them.
“Thanks, but let me talk to Rowan first, and then we can figure something out.”
I stand up and leave them to have their drinks while I go upstairs. I’d left my phone there since I rarelyuse it. I spot it on the bedside drawer immediately when I get there. Picking it up, I dial Rowan’snumber.
He picks up on the first ring, which just warms my heart. This is something I have noticed since I wokeup. Unlike béfore, when he would rarely take my calls, these days, he answers on the first ring as if hewere waiting and eager for my call.
“Hi darling, how’s your day? And have Corrine and Letty arrived yet?” His deep voice comes
I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of hearing him call me sweet names, especially when he says it in hisdeep and sexy voice. There is just something about it that renders me weak in the knees.
“Hi,” I squeak for some unknown reason. “It’s great, honestly. Those two are, honestly, amazing. Theyeven wanted to take me out shopping for tonight’s date.”
“Glad to hear that… Is the matter concerning shopping the reason you called? You do know you don’tneed my permission to go anywhere. Provided you have a bodyguard with you, then I don’t mind.”novelbin
I never thought I would ever be in this position. I hated being followed around by a bodyguard as if Iwere someone important, but I also understand that until they catch whoever tried to kill me, then this ismy life.
“No, that’s not the reason… I don’t want to take Iris with me, but I also don’t want to leave her here withTeresa.”
He’s quiet for a while. I sit down on our bed as I wait for him to speak up. Maybe he could give me asolution to my dilemma.
“How about you give me some time to come up with something?” He asks, and I nod, forgetting that hecouldn’t see me.
