"Take the day off with me you can go tomorrow."
I frown does he intend on spending another night. Rinsing out the glass my thoughts, my stomach in turmoil. He turns me to face him.
"It's time we take a bath"
"Okay" I would rather have a shower alone but its not about what I want anymore. I was about to say something lame when my cellphone rang, it was Alley.
"Hi" wondering over to the back door away from him.
"Why didn't you call, text me Emily?"
"I am sorry I have been taken over by events" unwanted events caused by an unwanted man.
"You're okay?"
"YYYes I am fine and you?" clearing my throat.
"I am okay. Did you?" she is fishing for the right words to say and for information. "See him since?" her voice shaky.
"Alley I don't want to talk about this over the phone. We could meet for lunch" Nickolai glances at me, arms folded across his chest daring me to make any plans.
I swallowed " We could meet tomorrow. How does that sound?"
"Why not today? Is there someone with you?"
"No"
"Liar. You did break your celibacy?"
I roll my eyes
"Who is he, was he gentle, is he guy from the bar?"
