Chapter 10

He had his housekeeper clean the already spotless apartment from top to bottom. He was behaving like a schoolboy with his first crush or even worse than that. He had spent the last three days vacillating between frustration and acute desire! He had deliberately not called her because he was afraid that he was going to make a further fool of himself by appearing too eager. He was forty-two years old in January and he had never been so nervous or anticipating a person so much in his life! He had told the concierge to send her right up as soon as she came in and he was now nursing a drink at the kitchen counter and waiting for her to come up. He had taken a longer shower than necessary and put on a new cologne that had cost an arm and a leg, an original Romano’s cologne that had come out a few weeks ago. It was ridiculous the lengths he was going through to impress her and his hands were shaking from it.

His phone rang just then and for a moment he thought she was calling to cancel. If she did, he had no idea how he was going to take it! But it was his sister.

“Hey, what’s up?”

“Would you like to come over for dinner?”

“I have plans. You okay?”

“I thought we could talk.”

“We could talk for a little bit. What’s going on?”

“I promised Simone that everything was okay with her father and me, but I lied to her.”

“Have you two talked?”

“We argue, and he is not listening to me. He comes in late and when I ask him about it, he claims it is work. I am not sure how much longer I can do this, Henry.”

“You have a daughter to think about!” he bit back a sigh. He seriously did not need this now. Not when he was so riled up by the fact that Diana was coming over! “I don’t want to get involved because if I do, it is going to make things worse. Find a way to make him listen to you Janet. You owe it to yourself and Simone to try and start some sort of communication going.”

“I will do that. You have not been here for dinner in weeks.”

“I have been busy, you know that.”

“Too busy for your sister?”

“I will try and make it next Friday.”

“Take care, Janet.” The minute he hung up he heard the door being opened and taking a fortifying breath he hopped off the stool and went to greet her. The first sight of her inside his doorway sent the desire skittering through his entire body! She was wearing a dress, a simple cotton dress with elastic around the neck, leaving her shoulders and arms bare. Her thick hair was loose around her face and she had no makeup on. She looked like a teenager! And he felt like a dirty old man!

“Hey!” she greeted him with a smile.

“Hey.” He took her light jacket from her along with her pocketbook.
