Part Two

Falling

Autumn 2013

Chapter Thirteen

Drake didn’t approach me about what happened at the time of my conversation with Caitlyn and to be honest, a part of me actually rejoiced.

The next few weeks were pure bliss between the two of us and I while the tension between Colin and I was almost more than I could bear to handle.

It turned out he had started an affair with another woman and for those few weeks, I was oblivious to who this mystery woman might be. I was in that hormonal bliss that happened right before a relationship was consummated.

I was back to normal after my miscarriage and Drake was nothing but a gentleman. We often met at Rouge and had dinner there on his nights off or when he was working, we would spend his lunch break together. He would sip on a San Pellegrino or a Perrier while I nursed a glass of wine or one of the many imported champagnes the restaurant featured.

While I didn’t realize Colin’s choice of women was too close for comfort, I was still reeling from my first meeting with Drake’s ex that had taken place approximately a month after I returned to work. I had just ended my shift at Ground Beans and as usual, I drove over to Rouge and had my vehicle valet parked before I walked in and took a seat at the bar.

Drake joined me several minutes later and kissed my cheek before he wrapped his arms around me. “You look gorgeous as always. Busy day at work?”

I smiled as the bartender, Brice, poured me a new pink Dom Perignon champagne they’d just received and I took it with flourish before I slid over a fifty dollar bill.

“Always but it’s refreshing and easy work. How about you? What have you been up to?”

He gave me a shy smile while those gorgeous aquamarine eyes of his twinkled dangerously. “Actually, I have been a good boy and on my best behavior. The lady boss has arrived and she will frown on the two of us being seen together.”

Drake barely had the words out of his mouth before an incredibly tacky and obviously newly rich woman stalked over in a tacky leather, gold and turquoise Versace suit. The skirt barely skimmed her ass and her gold Tribute sandals clashed with all the gold jewelry she wore from a choker to gold bangles and gold rings which decorated several fingers on each hand.

Her hair was dyed white blonde and it was obvious she had a head full of extensions because her hair reached mid-back in thick, luxurious waves while there were several well-hidden, much shorter pieces of hair blended perfectly. She had a perfectly golden tan and it only emphasized her ice blue eyes, sharp Slavic cheekbones and collagen enhanced, scarlet-stained lips.

“Mr. O’Connell, shouldn’t you be working?” she inquired with an heir of authority while talon-length, French manicured nails clicked on the marble counter of the bar.

“Actually, I am on my lunch break, Ms. Shevchenko,” he responded in a business-like tone and continued to sip from his Perrier.
