Chapter Twelve

Natalie did a last touch-up on her makeup and made a face at herself in the mirror. Not too bad. The party was Gatsby-themed and she’d gotten hold of an absolutely gorgeous black beaded and fringed dress. She’d tucked her hair into a black, straight-bobbed wig, and for once she’d managed to pull off a nice smoky-eye look. Usually, when she attempted it, she ended up looking like someone had beaten her with a bag of nickels. But she looked pretty damn good, if she did say so herself.

The dress had come with a rhinestone headdress sporting a gorgeous peacock feather and she added a long gold necklace that swayed tantalizingly between her breasts. She was ready to get her party on.

It had been a long couple of weeks since she and Eric had vowed to take things slow and focus on work. The daily urge to rip his clothes off and get their freak on was getting exhausting. She still thought it was a good idea, though. They already knew they had sexual chemistry. Probably too much. But Nat wanted to make sure they actually liked each other, not just liked sleeping together. She was not going to have a repeat of her last disastrous relationship.

So tonight, Nat was looking forward to cutting loose and just having a good time without having to worry about dealing with Eric and her inexplicable feelings for him. Her friend’s birthday party was a great excuse to get all dolled up and have some fun.

“You ready yet?” Gina asked. She, of course, looked like a total knockout in a mini red fringed dress.

Nat stood and spun around. “What do you think?”

Gina whistled. “I think every man there will be drooling all over you within half a second of seeing you.”

“Just what I was going for,” Nat said, laughing.

“Well, it might not be a bad idea if you met someone tonight. It’d get your mind off you-know-who.”

“Who?” Nat asked, playing totally dumb. So much for not bringing him up tonight.

“Seriously?” Gina rolled her eyes. “Your Gelato man.”

“My mind is not on him.”

“Whatever. Your mind is always on him. I’ve never seen you so hooked on a guy before and under normal circumstances, I’d be thrilled for you. I mean the guy is gorgeous and rich, two of my favorite things. But with your special little situation…”

Nat frowned. “What do you mean, rich? He’s just a junior financial consultant at a tiny firm. And if all goes according to his plan, he’ll be a self-employed owner of a bakery that isn’t even open yet.”

“Didn’t you Google him?”

Nat shook her head and Gina rolled her eyes again. “Good God girl, that’s the first thing I do when I meet a new guy. Your boy is the son of Jerry and Miranda Schneider. They own like half the city.”

Nat frowned. She’d known he was fairly successful. He’d have to be to live in the place he did, but she hadn’t known he was that well off.
