is nurse Zoey going to take me showing up alone again? Oh well, it was nice while it lasted. I need to get to the office and get a few things done for Amelia first. I’m glad I just have to walk next door for treatment.
    “Good morning , Amelia, here is your espresso. Remember I need to leave at lunch time today?” I remind her.
    “Yes , of course. Do you think your mystery man will show up again today?” she asks excitedly.
    “I honestly don’t know. Part of me hopes he does and part of me dreads him seeing me like this. Do you know what I mean?”
    “Well , I guess I do, but listen if you need someone to take you home, give me a call, you know I’m here for you.”
    “Thanks, Amelia , I do, and that really means a lot to me.”
    “I put a few notes on your desk . There are a few files I need you to pull before you go, if you can. My brother is taking the day off and he asked me to look into a few things for him. Between you and me, I’m relieved he’s taking some time off. He works too hard.”
    “Sure , it’s not a problem. I’ll get right on it for you and thanks again, Amelia, for your offer. Have a good weekend.”
    “You to o, Willow, and I did mean what I said. If you need me, call.”
    After spending the morning pulling everything together for Amelia, I clean off my desk for the weekend. I grab my purse, stuff my e-reader in my bag, say a quick goodbye to Amelia, and make my way next door. I check in with the receptionist. I cross my fingers that he is here. I take a look around the waiting room, and nothing, he’s not there. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. What was I thinking? Of course he’s not here. And he’s not going to show up either. I don’t know why I even got my hopes up in the first place. With me and my luck, things just don’t happen like that to me.
    “Willow , are you ready?” Zoey calls from the door. She actually looks happy. She must have given up bugging me, and she’s going to let me finish my last two treatments in peace. Maybe my luck is turning around.
    “O K, Willow, you are in room two. Go ahead and have a seat. I’ll be just a few minutes, and then we’ll get you all hooked up.”
    “Sure thing , not a problem.” Stepping around her, I start to pull my e-reader out of my bag and walk into the room. Out of the corner of my eye I see someone sitting in a chair. Without even looking up I say, “Oh sorry, I must have been told the wrong room.”
    “Willow , you’re in the right room.” I stand there frozen with my hand on my e-reader still in my bag. I slowly look up at the person that I know that voice belongs to. Asher is sitting, looking as cool as can be, dressed in a black t-shirt and faded jeans. I gasp because I’ve only seen him twice and both times he was in a three piece suit. I didn’t think he could look more handsome, but I was wrong. Seeing him dressed so casually with those amazing blue eyes contrasting off his black shirt, makes him look irresistible.
    I lick my lips, I just can’t help it. I can just see myself licking every inch of him. His eyes are on my mouth. I know he just saw me licking my lips and from the look on his face, it looks like he’s thinking the same thing. Stepping back into reality, I put my e-reader back down in my bag and check my silk scarf around my neck, nervously making sure its covering what I know he’s already seen. I am wearing a pink v-neck blouse with a scarf around my neck so no one notices my port. With a black skirt that sits just above my knees and black stilettos.
    “ What are you doing here?” I ask, trying to keep calm. He’s really here. He really did come.
    “I was invited last time by Nurse Zoey.”
    “You didn’t have to come. I’m sure I would have been fine on my own,” I say, trying to play it cool.
    “Well , not that you asked, but Zoey did, so here I am. I’m ready to talk your ear off about everything and nothing.”
    Zoey comes in ready to hook me up , and then I’ll be stuck sitting in
