Chapter Ten

Taylor

“So what does Volt do?” Sara walked beside me, holding a Gucci bag that contained a new sweater inside.

“He owns his own company.”

“So, he must make bank?”

“Uh…I guess.” I never asked Volt about his finances. I knew he was wealthy because of his penthouse overlooking Central Park and the Maserati parked in his garage, not to mention his expensive suits and other knick-knacks.

“Like, how much are we talking?”

What did it matter? “I don’t know. I’ve never asked.”

“Really?” she asked in surprise. “This is important information if you’re going to marry him.”

“Well, rich or poor, it doesn’t matter to me.”

Sara had always cared about security and having nice things.

“By the way, he asked me to move in with him.”

“Seriously?” She stopped walking and stared at me.

“Yep.” I already packed most of my things in boxes and prepared for the move. I just had to figure out what to do with my old furniture. There was no place for it in his apartment.

“Wow. That’s great.”

“I know. I’m excited.”

“I can’t believe you’re going to be living with this guy but I haven’t met him.”

I know. Every time we arranged something, it fell through. “You want to meet him now? He should be home.”

“Yeah, of course.”

We walked a few blocks before we reached the building. She looked up and admired the view. “Wow. Definitely loaded.”

I rolled my eyes.

“And you’re moving in here?”

“Well, my apartment is way too small.” We took the elevator to the top floor then walked inside. “Volt, I’m here. And Sara is with me.”

Sara shut the door behind her and took a look around his luxurious place. “He’s super loaded.”

“Shh!” I didn’t want Volt to hear that.

“You made the right choice moving in here. It’s so nice.”

“Volt?” I set my purse down and came farther into the room. “Are you here?”

There was no response.

“Hmm.” I wasn’t sure where he would be. I pulled out my phone and texted him. Hey, I just got home. Where are you?

Hey, baby. I’m hanging out with Derek. Sorry, I forgot to let you know.

It’s okay. When will you be home?

We’re going to grab dinner and watch the game. I probably won’t be home until bedtime.

Okay. I tried not to be disappointed. I didn’t mind him going out with Derek. I just missed him. I’ll see you then.

You better be awake when I get there—and naked.

I smiled. Will do.

Love you.

I melted when I saw those words. Love you too. I set down my phone and turned back to Sara. “I guess he’s out for the night.”

“Oh, really?” she asked in disappointment. “I need to meet this incredible man. The suspense is killing me.”

“It’s killing me too.”

“Well, you want to get dinner since you’re free?”

“Sure. Let’s get a drink too.”

“Now you’re thinking.”

***

By the time Volt came home, I was already in bed. I tried to stay naked, but it was too cold. I ended up putting on his t-shirt and sweatpants. I read off my phone in bed until I heard the front door open and shut.
