Chapter 14

Rachel stepped inside the wine bar, scanning the room for Andi. They were meeting at six, and then they were travelling to the Christmas party together. As she worked her way through the crowd of people waiting for drinks, Rachel stopped, her breath catching. Andi was sitting on a stool at the far end of the bar, looking amazing. No, amazing wasn’t the right word to use, but it was all Rachel could conjure up in the moment. Andi, God…she was stunning. She wore a navy, A-line cowl floor-length dress. From a distance, Rachel would say it was chiffon, but she couldn’t be certain. It sat perfectly over the swell of Andi’s breasts, her dark hair sporting a curl this evening.

If you don’t get your act together soon, this woman may go looking elsewhere.

Rachel had done a lot of thinking as this week had slowly worn on, and she was very close to asking Andi if that mention of a date was still something she was interested in. She could deny the pull Andi had almost four weeks on since they’d met; she could pretend that she wasn’t miserable as she sat home alone each night, but Rachel knew what was happening here. She knew that no matter how hard she tried, Andi was going to become someone who meant far more to her than she initially thought.

If Rachel had realised anything, it was that using Juliet was a poor excuse. Kelly had been right. They were two entirely different situations. Rachel had overstepped with Juliet but with Andi? She wasn’t sure there was anything to overstep. They didn’t have a contract between them, they hadn’t met as escort/client, and well, Andi was just delightful in every way.

“Hi.” Andi waved Rachel over, her bright smile almost blinding Rachel. “I got you a glass of red.”

“Perfect.” Rachel sat on a stool facing Andi, her gaze briefly drifting to Andi’s toned legs, courtesy of the split up the side of her dress. “Been here long?”

“No. Just a few minutes.” Andi sipped her wine, pushing Rachel’s towards her along the bar.

Before Rachel reached for it, she appraised Andi once again. One last look, and then keep your eyes to yourself. “May I say that you look truly incredible tonight?”

“Thank you. I thought I should make an effort since I was missing last Christmas.”

Rachel wasn’t sure Andi ever needed to make an effort. She was naturally beautiful, and her huge brown eyes only added to her striking features. “Really. You look…gorgeous.” Rachel was lost for words this evening. Andi was gorgeous on any given day, but the dark eye makeup, the long, curled locks, and the dress… Mind-blowing. “Will there be any single ladies there tonight?”

“I have no idea.”

Rachel caught the slight frown Andi wore. “Sorry. I just think that tonight could be your lucky night.” With me, hopefully. Whoa! Where the hell had that thought come from? Rachel may have been considering a discussion, but to wish she would be leaving with Andi after the party? She hadn’t quite imagined that.
