CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN

Trey

Sandy Systems has been in negotiations to buy Cedar Pine Cypress Technologies based in Seattle. The head of our mergers and acquisitions group, Mickey Johns, is joining me on this trip. Actually, this is his trip and I’m joining him. I’m just the figurehead.

Our flight to Seattle is relatively low-key, and we fly in adjoining seats in first-class. The flight attendant is very attentive and basically ignoring everyone else in the cabin once she recognizes me. “Would you like a drink, Mr. Arnault?”

“Yes, a Woodford neat, please.”

When she brings my glass of bourbon, she hands me a napkin with her phone number on it, then places another napkin under my glass and winks at me.

She’s cute enough in a plastic sort of way, but I need to keep my head in the game. We should run through our proposal one more time, but I’m not truly interested. My mind keeps drifting to Sara from last night.

Mickey leans over and asks in a low voice, “Is it always that easy for you?”

I’m not sure what he’s talking about. “What?”

“Hot girls giving you phone numbers?”

Confused by his question, I finally realize what he means. “Oh, that. I don’t know. Do you want her number?”

He holds his hands up as if he’s surrendering. “No, I was curious.”

Leaning back in my seat, I put my noise-canceling headphones on and listen to nothing. The quiet helps me think.

Last night at my parents’ was hard. Watching Sara and pretending we haven’t shared intimate moments was extremely difficult. So many things about her have left me intrigued, and I’ve only scratched the surface. I’ve been with lots of girls, but not one of them made me feel the way Sara does. But I can’t be a passenger in this train wreck of a relationship. It’s time for me to take control and make Sara understand what I already know—we belong together.

I didn’t mean to make her leave before dinner last night. I just wish I knew why she’s snubbed me. I know work for her is busy, but I also know she’s making time to hang out with my sister and the girls.

I lean back in my seat and imagine the pretty blonde hovering over my thighs, her eyes locked on mine as she licks her lips.

I need to stop this feeling and move on.

I may not be able to make Sara understand yet, but I’ll work on a plan and keep myself distracted while I throw myself into my work.
