Chapter Fourteen

The next morning, Eva woke to the sound of music playing in the nearest bathroom. Filipe was no longer lying next to her. By the time she got up and dressed, the music had stopped. A door in the hallway opened. She saw Filipe walk out. He was wrapped in a towel. Memories from the morning after their first night together came flooding back.

“Do you have a business meeting?” Eva asked. “Is a chauffeur about to knock at the door?”

Filipe turned to her and smiled. It didn’t meet his eyes like it had the night before. But it was genuine, all the same. He was still with her, at least partially.

“No,” he said. “But I do have to leave in an hour or so. You’re welcome to stick around.”

“No, it’s okay,” Eva said. “I think I’d better get home.”

“I have a fresh set of clothes for you on the dining room table,” he said.

“You didn’t have to do that,” she replied, though she was secretly delighted. She’d been dreading another walk of shame.

“Like I said, I want you to be comfortable.”

“Thanks, Filipe,” Eva said sincerely. “That means a lot.”

“Can I make you breakfast?”

“That’s all right,” she replied. “I’m not very hungry.”

“Are you okay?”

“I am,” she said. She wasn’t lying, either. This was exactly the kind of hookup that she could handle. One that ended cordially.

Except this one could also end with a baby.

She headed toward the dining room and picked up the clothes, once again surprised how similar his and her tastes were. She dressed in the nearest bathroom. When she finished, she found Filipe in the kitchen.

“I made you a sandwich to go,” he said.

“Thank you,” Eva said, taking the bag he’d left on the counter. “You really didn’t have to do all this.”

“I want to do nice things for you, Eva,” he said. “I have a car ready for you downstairs, whenever you’re ready.”

“I don’t even have to hail a cab? Good deal.”

“Oh, that reminds me,” Filipe said. “I don’t want you hailing cabs or taking the subway anymore. They’re dirty and dangerous. From now on, Joseph is at your disposal. I’ve already given him your cell phone number. He’ll give you his card when he drops you off.”

“Is this an offer, or a requirement?”

“Which answer is more likely to get you to use it?”

“An offer.”

“Then it’s an offer,” he said. “Besides, why take the subway or a cab when you can hang out with Joseph?”

Eva smiled.

“I guess I can’t argue with that.”

“I’ll see you soon.”

“Bye, Filipe. Thank you.”

Eva took the elevator downstairs. Joseph was already waiting for her.

The drive home seemed shorter than before. Maybe that was because Eva felt like she was walking on water. She bid Joseph goodbye, slipped his card into her wallet, and practically ran up the stairs. Once inside her apartment, she placed her sandwich on the counter and flopped onto her queen-sized bed.

“This is the life,” she said to herself.

At what cost?

There was a knock at the door. Eva groaned.

“Come on, Filipe,” she grumbled.
