LOOKING at the time on my phone, I drop it back into my pants pocket. Well, she’s late. Charlie talked me into coming to this fundraiser and now she’s late. Not that I mind being here, it really is for a good cause, but I can do without the whole black tie and jacket.

Tugging at my collar, I look around the room again. Still no sight of Charlie. We have fifteen minutes until the check dedications start and I don’t have the check because she said she would bring it with her. Grabbing my phone again, I decide to give her a call. Honestly, I’m surprised her husband was going to let her come to this thing with me. We are good friends, but he’s pretty possessive of her.

“Sorry I’m late.”

I look up from my phone, gasp and drop it to the floor. Oh my God. “Carrie?”

“Yes, sorry, I know you were expecting Charlie, but she wasn’t feeling well. She had me bring the check to you,” she says as she’s bending down to pick up my phone from the ground. When she stands back up, I can’t take my eyes off her exposed cleavage.

“You, uh, you look beautiful,” I stutter.

She blushes a pretty shade of red and it spreads across her chest. I can’t believe this is Carrie. She has worked for us the past year. She’s funny and dedicated to her job. She’s extremely efficient and honestly I don’t know what we would do without her sometimes. But now I can add absolutely beautiful to her list of attributes. How in the world has she been hiding these curves under those boxy jackets? Why has she?

I finally raise my eyes to her face. “What happened?”

Smiling back at me, she says, “Oh, uh, I think she has been nauseous…”

“No, not what happened with Charlie. What happened with you?” I ask her as I grab her hand and walk her over to the side of the room, somewhere more private.

She nervously wraps her fingers around the clutch in her hands. Her bright blue eyes are wide staring back at me and my first instinct is to kiss the pink lipstick off her lips. “Charlie helped me go shopping.”

I brush the hair off her face. “Well, you look beautiful.”

“Thank you.” Reaching into her clutch, she pulls out the check. “They are getting started. Here’s the check.”

“Huh, what?” Did I miss the announcement?

“Go on up there.” She waves toward the stage.

I lace her fingers with mine. “Oh, you are going with me.” And then I mutter to myself, I’m not letting you out of my sight.
