No one had ever called me out on who I was dating, except my grandmother and Sophie, and Sophie honestly didn’t really care as long as I was happy. No one ever shared their opinion about that sort of stuff with me. They just let it fly because I was the boss.

But tonight, Julia called me out. She was sort of a bad-ass, in a cute, innocent way. She let her guard down after a few drinks tonight. She was carefree and fun, and possibly jealous. It made me think, she was right though, even if she didn’t know my past, she was right. I couldn’t let a past failed relationship with a con artist destroy my future my happiness. Especially when it came to something as important as love. I suddenly saw my mistake and how obvious it was, it was one of my classes on fear and failure blaring at me with definite clarity. Suddenly ridiculously evident of how stupid I had been acting with women. Punishing myself and others because of one stupid mistake and one untrustworthy person. I thought of Julia as I went back to my room. Thankful for her honesty. I really wanted to kiss her earlier, and now, if she was attracted to me, which I think she might be, that changed things. I hadn’t pursued her before because she made it crystal clear she wasn’t interested in me that way. But now, maybe I had a chance.

Julia was so different from the women I was used to. First of all, she was a package deal with two kids. I shouldn’t lie to myself—that would be a lot to take on for a bachelor like me. But I hadn’t enjoyed working with someone so much in a long time. She kept me honest, on my toes, and she challenged me. When she liked my ideas, she embraced them wholeheartedly, but when the idea was shitty, she wasn’t afraid to tell me. That took guts, especially for a new employee.

When she let her guard down just a little, she finally started to open up. She wasn’t like the other girls. I couldn’t just pull her up to my bedroom and make love to her. She would not be cool with it. In fact, she specifically told me her first day on the job that she was not okay with it. Her exact words were, “I’m not that kind of assistant.”

So now what? I came so close to kissing her so many times today—on the elevator, at her hotel room. She had to know how I felt because when we were in the elevator, there was no hiding it. My body deceived me and my sexual thoughts had been more than obvious. I had feelings for my new assistant. That part was not unusual, or a surprise to me. The unusual part was that I couldn’t act on those feelings like I normally did. This one I couldn’t have. Not that way. She wasn’t a one-night-stand kind of girl.
