CHAPTER 12 ~ Rebecca

Friday night had arrived and Rebecca had just finished curling the last strand of hair. Looking in the mirror, she beamed with joy as she thought about the night ahead of her. She hadn’t heard much from Michael other than the text earlier that day confirming the evening plans.

Hearing the doorbell ring, she shut the light off in the bathroom and slipped on her heels on in the bedroom before heading out to answer the door. A furious knock came from the door. “Jeez! I’m coming!” She said annoyed as she went to open the door.

Pushing past her, Jonathan stepped in quickly and turned to her. “I need to talk to you.”

“You’re sopping wet. And what are you doing here?” Rebecca asked, peeking out her door down the hallways in both directions to make sure Michael hadn’t arrived yet. Shutting the door, she turned to see Jonathan sitting on the couch with his head between his knees sobbing.

“It’s over…”

“What’s over?” Rebecca asked, coming over to the couch and joining his side.

Looking up at her, his eyes were swollen and red. “Stacy and I, we’re done.”

Rebecca shook her head. “I’m sorry it didn’t work out, but-”

A knock came from the door, alerting them both. “Who’s that?” Jonathan asked, standing up.

Rebecca’s eyes widened as she motioned for him to look at her cocktail dress. In a loud whisper she said, “Can’t you tell I’m going on a date, Jonathan?!”

“Rebecca?” Michael’s muffled voice said on the other side of her apartment door.

“Just a moment!” Rebecca replied, as she shoed Jonathan out of the living room and back into the guest room.

Before shutting the guest room door, she said in a loud whisper to Jonathan, “Don’t do anything! Just sit here until we leave and then excuse yourself out, please!” He nodded as he took a seat on the bed.

Rushing back out into the living room, she relaxed her shoulders, took a deep breath and opened the door.

“Hello,” Rebecca said with a smile. When their eyes met, she felt her heart flutter with joy and a sense of happiness rushed over her. He set her at ease and made her forget the world, and even completely forget the fact that her boss was sitting in her guest room.

Michael stood in awe.

“What?” She asked, worried.

“You look… breathtaking,” Michael replied with a deep smile. “God’s creation at its finest!”

Blushing, she grabbed his arm. “I’m ready to go if you are.”

Suddenly the door of the guest room opened and Jonathan came waltzing out. Rebecca turned around, mortified that Jonathan had appeared in nothing but a pair of her black sweatpants he must have found in the guest bedroom closet.

“I gotta go,” Michael said sharply as he turned and quickly headed for the elevators.

Chasing him down the hall, Rebecca said, “It’s not what it looks like, I promise!”

Michael stopped as he shook his head and turned back to her. “It’s exactly what it looks like, Rebecca! You had some dude in your house half naked!
