date.”
    He said it so matter of
fact and so casual that I could only blink. A date? Only a few hours since we
had almost kissed in his office? Mr. Gable was looking at me as though he was
waiting to see what I was going to say but all I did was feel like a fool. Was
he trying to punish me for not kissing him even after he had finished his phone
call?
    “Have a good night.” I
said to him.
    I turned and walked out
of his office, letting the door close behind me.
    I went over to my
computer to do one last scan of emails. I decided on a whim to set up Janine’s
old e-mail address to forward messages sent to me. I was sure people were still
emailing her since they may not have known she moved. Focusing on her email was
easier than focusing on my own feelings. I opened up her email inbox to set up
the forwarding and stopped when I saw an e-mail that had come through ten
minutes ago. It was from Mr. Gable’s ex-wife, sent to him and had Janine copied
on it. I looked back at the door and then opened the e-mail.
     
    Bradley,
    Hopefully
Janine reminded you of our meeting with our attorneys tonight about our divorce...
I expect you to be on time for this since you are refusing to speak to me
outside of them.
     
    Your wife,
    Winter
Gable
     
    I read the e-mail three
times quickly and then shut the computer down. He had lied to me. He didn’t
have a date at all and instead was meeting about his divorce. Why had he lied?
I thought about it the whole way to my car. As I slid into it and turned my car
on, I could only think one thing — he had been trying to get me jealous? It
seemed childish but it was a tried and true method with people…and as much as I
hated to admit it, it had worked.
    As I pulled out of my
parking spot and headed to my son’s school, I caught myself smiling. Mr. Gable
was into me, as much as he wanted to hide it. As much as we both wanted to hide
it. Maybe I wasn’t the only one having fantasies? I felt a thrill come over me
as I thought about how long it had been since I had been wanted by someone
other than my husband. He wanted to play hard to get and I was ready to play it
back at him too.
    Out of all the
illustrious woman he must run into on a daily basis, Mr. Gable was interested
in me.  I couldn’t help but smile.
