Chapter Fifteen

I am so screwed. Jessie looked frantically through her bag for the second time.

No laptop. No papers. No notes. How could she have left everything she needed at home, right before her Monday meeting with Marlene? She shouldn’t have let herself get distracted and run out the door without going through her usual checklist to make sure she had everything. Served her right for getting wrapped up in Shawn rather than using her head. She’d just have to apologize, take responsibility, not give any indication of why she was slacking on the job, and promise it would never happen again.

When her desk phone rang, she was afraid it was Marlene. She always seemed to email and then call to follow-up when Jessie didn’t respond within four seconds—usually because Jessie was still in the middle of reading the message or hadn’t even seen it yet.

But it wasn’t her boss.

“Security, Ms. Santana. A Mr. Lassiter is here with a laptop for you.”

Wait—what?

“Uh, okay,” she stammered, trying to get that thing in her chest to start working again. “I’ll come down and get it.”

“No worries, miss. I already sent him up to you.”

It took her a minute to realize what he was saying. Shawn was in her office. He was on his way to her cubicle right now.

They’d only ever hung out in Brooklyn—mostly at home, since it wasn’t like she ever stayed over at his place, given that it was her place as well. They’d gone to a few restaurants and bars on what were starting to feel a whole lot like dates. And she’d been to Thunder, but she could show up at the taproom and nobody would bat an eye.

This was different. Not that Shawn wasn’t allowed in her office. But there were certain ways that things were supposed to go. Work, home, friendship, dating—the boundaries were supposed to stay clear. Or at least they always used to be, until Shawn came into her life.

She pushed back her chair and hurried toward the elevators. She’d catch him on his way, get her laptop, thank him a million times, and send him home. If anyone saw him, it was just her roommate dropping it off. Her hot, rugged, muscular, tattooed roommate who looked completely unlike anyone who’d ever set foot in the halls of Honeywell Press.

It was hopeless. One look at him as he stepped off the elevator, and she certainly didn’t feel like she was looking at her roommate. Roommates didn’t make her heart beat like that. Roommates didn’t make her palms sweat and her mouth dry and her legs feel all shivery and weak.

For a second, he turned the other way, looking for the right office numbers. Then he turned back and saw her, and she wondered if her own face showed that same transformation, the way it felt to go from lost, uncertain, to seeing someone, and knowing they saw you in the same way. He broke into a smile, eyes crinkling. She could feel herself flush all the way down to her toes.
