I powered on my phone as Nate and Rosé chuckled and left my office, promising to see me tonight. As expected, I had over a dozen missed calls and even more text messages. Mostly from board members, Danny in particular. But one name mattered more than the rest. A missed call from Jennie and one text from her afterwards.
Jennie: Guess you're busy. It's no big deal. But we were wondering when and where we're going.
"Shit." I muttered, already dialling as I threw my things into my briefcase and headed for the door. I waved goodbye to Trudy just as Jennie's voice rang out from the other end of the line.
"Estranged spouse, indeed..." she mused and I couldn't help but smile at the sound of her voice as I hopped on the elevator. "I was beginning to think you'd had enough of me and made a run for the border."
"I'm so sorry. I turned my phone off to focus on work and lost track of time. But I'm on my way now. I'll just need to change and then we can head out."
"No sweat. We're all ready to go and making daiquiris, so no rush."
I chuckled.
"You know, you're supposed to drink at the club, not necessarily before, right?" I asked.
"Hmm... you don't know Chahee." she replied. I smiled as I headed into the limo via the door that Kevin was holding open for me.
"I'll see you soon."
"See you soon."
I hung up and settled in for the ride home.
Upon arrival, I emerged from the limo still checking my emails. I walked through the foyer and down the hall in time to see Jimin carrying a bowl of pretzels outside, yelling something about "if you skinny bitches don't eat, this alcohol will go straight to your head and I'm not holding either of your hair back again". I shook my head and chuckled as I headed for my room. I undressed as quickly as I could before throwing on a pair of black jeans and a form hugging beige tee shirt. I debated on the jacket for a minute but tossed it to the side, deciding it was too formal. I was sliding my feet into the least formal shoes I owned when Jennie strolling in and I stopped breathing.
She was wearing a pale pink dress with a deep neckline cut straight to the navel so that her cleavage was on display in a way that I'd never seen before. At the waist, it became tight, clinging to her skin all the way to mid-thigh. She wore golden stilettos that matched her dangling gold earrings and long golden necklace that drew attention to her breasts, as if it was needed. Her makeup was natural but smoky in a way that made her eyes pop. Her lips were a pale pink that matched her dress and her hair was piled on top of her head with little tendrils cascading down the sides of her face. I couldn't stop staring at her.
"See something you like?" She asked with a grin from the doorway.
"Oh, yes." I told her, nodding as I stood from the bench and approached her. I made an obvious motion in the direction of her breasts as I stared down at them. "Two things, actually." I reached for her, wrapping one arm around her waist and letting a finger trail up her exposed skin, gently cupping a breast when I reached them.
"You were right to remind me of these." I whispered in her ear, feeling her hair against my lips as I did. "I haven't paid them nearly enough attention."
"But you're an ass person." she said. I pulled back and looked down at her, brows furrowed in confusion.
"What?" I asked.
"Chahee says that every dude is either an ass person or a boobs person. It's what they prefer, what they like the most. You're an ass person."
"I'm a Jennie person." I corrected her, poking her nose with a finger and smiling. "But you do have a fantastic ass."
"If the two of you are done, I believe it's time to leave?" Chahee called down the hall, the sound of her heels clicking against the tile of the foyer as she and Jimin strode toward the door. I smiled down at Jennie and leaned in once more, whispering the promise against her ear that I hoped she would be thinking about all night long.
"Words cannot express how beautiful I think you look. So, I'll show you tonight."
