CHAPTER TEN

I managed to find my way home that night. I hadn't had a drop of alcohol, but I still felt drunk. I couldn't think and I couldn't see straight. My stomach twisted and I felt nauseated. I was sure I was about to puke at any moment. I didn't know what it meant. Maybe I was coming down with something. I just knew I was not falling for him. Definitely not.

I opened the door of my apartment and saw Melissa splayed out on the couch, wine in one hand with her laptop balanced on one knee. I set her ankle breaking shoes on the table.

“Well?" She tossed the computer onto the empty seat next to her and jumped up.

“Well, what?” I feigned innocence, as if I didn't know what she really was asking. I set her computer on the floor and flopped down where it had been.

“Oh my God, don't do this to me. What happened?” She sat down next to me.

I shrugged. “It wasn't a big deal. We went to Lotus and it sucked, so we got fro-yo for dinner instead.”

“And...?” Her eyes were as wide as saucers and she looked like she was about to explode, waiting for me to clue her in.

“And what? There isn't anything else to tell.”

She slapped my shoulder. “Did you kiss him? Did you do anything else?”

“Not really. There was a little kissing, nothing major.”

She threw her head back into the cushion. “You are killing me.”

I smiled and stood up to walk into the kitchen. “What did you do tonight?”

She grinned. “Actually, I do have some news. I went to dinner with my dad tonight.”

“Really? How did that go?” I got a glass of water and took a sip.

"I'm going to Japan, too! You won't believe what happened."

"Oh?" I walked back into the living room and sat down on the chair facing the couch. Between maneuvering in the heels for most of the night and prancing barefoot through the streets of San Francisco, I didn't think I could stand on my feet for another second.

"I can't believe you didn't answer your phone tonight. I must have called you a hundred times." She pulled the laptop from the floor back onto her knee. She downed the wine she had left in her glass and set it down on the side table next to her. "Dad asked me to dinner."

"So you said." I didn't see this conversation ending well. Whenever Mel played the daddy card, things never ended well for me. Her father was a named partner at the company we both worked for, so his nepotism shouldn't have been a huge surprise to me when it happened. And yet, it always was.

"Anyway, I told him how disappointed I was that they chose you for this big Tomojii account. I told them I thought it was wrong that I've been working there for almost two years and no one has even asked me to go on a trip. So guess what?"

I felt my cheeks redden and my nostrils flared despite themselves.
