“So tonight’s the big night, huh?”

Mia jumped in her seat, surprised by her assistant’s sudden appearance in her office. “Girl, you scared the crap out of me!” she exclaimed.

Tyresa shrugged her slender shoulders. “Sorry, but you were staring off into space again. Thinking about your big date?”

Mia watched as the other woman took a seat on the edge of her desk. “Jordan just called to remind me. He said he didn’t want to get stood up again.”

“Can you blame him?”

“Ha, ha, Reese.”

“So what does Mr. Banks have planned?”

“I don’t know,” Mia said, picking up the gold frame holding the computer-generated thank you card that Kimani had made for her. “He said it’s a very special surprise.”

Reese look impressed. “Lucky you. I love surprises.”

“I don’t.”

“Don’t I know it,” she mumbled under her breath.

Mia looked at her sharply. “What was that, buddy o’ mine?”

“Look, Mia, your life does not always have to be planned down to the minute.” Reese reached over and tapped her long slender finger against her friend’s nose. “Remember, just go with the flow. Okay?”

Mia looked uncertain. “Just go with the flow, huh?”

She nodded. “Let him worry about all the plans and details. Let him spoil you the way he obviously wants to. Just enjoy yourself. Not only do you deserve a night like this one, you need it.”

“You know what?” Mia asked softly. “You’re right.”

Reese scoffed. “I usually am.”

Jordan replaced the phone. Everything was set. All his plans were under way. Tonight he would woo Mia. He smiled in satisfaction as he thought of the pleasure with which he would bless her. She deserved all of it and so much more.

“What has you smiling like a Cheshire Cat?”

He grinned even more broadly at his father, his hands folded behind his handsome head as he leaned casually back in his chair. “Mia,” he answered simply.

“It’s good to see you happy, son,” Clinton said, a very familiar grin on his handsome face as he took the seat in front of Jordan’s cluttered desk. “You are happy?”

Jordan looked into the eyes that were so like his own. He saw concern in the depths. Had his father picked up on the varying levels of emotional involvement Mia and he had invested in their “relationship”? Yes he felt that, his feelings for her ran a lot deeper than hers for him. But he was patient. He had time. She was worth the wait.

Realizing his father was waiting for an answer, Jordan said, “Yeah, I’m happy.”

Clinton nodded. “If you’re happy, then so am I.”

“Believe me, Dad, right now I’m floating on cloud nine.”

“Daddy! Dad-dy! Mia just pulled up!”

Jordan winced visibly in his private bathroom as all of his girls yelled in unison to alert him to Mia’s arrival.

Some of the tight tension of his abdominal muscles eased a bit. At least she’s home on time this time.

He would admit only to himself that he had been worried about work claiming all of her attention again tonight. “So far so good,” he mumbled as he walked over to his closet.
