Chapter 10

Diana

“Mommy, when will you be back?” Eli asks as we finish breakfast.

“Sunday night, hon. Ellen will watch you until then.” I smile at him.

It’s Saturday, and the gala is tonight. Pierce will be picking me up in a few hours. I should be nervous about leaving Eli alone for so long since we haven't ever been apart overnight. But I'm too excited to be spending time with Pierce.

“Will you be with Pierce?” Eli sounds excited.

“Yes, hon,” I pause and ask what’s been burning my mind, “What do you think of Pierce?”

“I want him to be my daddy,” he blurts out and I almost drop my spoon in the cereal.

“So, you like him?” I press. I assume he does because a kid wouldn’t want someone to be their dad if they didn’t, right?

“I love him. He’s the best and he drives the bullet.” He smiles brightly.

“I love him too.” I smile, trying to bypass the Daddy statement. It’s too early for that isn’t it?

Eli and I finish and I take him to the hall where Ellen is working and some of the tenants are enjoying their Saturday afternoon.

“Eli, my boy, come help me win at checkers,” Rusty calls from where he’s playing with a friend.

“Bye, mom.” He hugs me and runs to Rusty.

“You sure you're okay with this?” I turn to Ellen.

“Of course! You have fun with your tall, dark, and handsome man,” she smiles at me.

“Thanks, Ellen. It means a lot.” I hug her.

Then I feel strong arms pull me against a solid wall of a man. “Diana.” Pierce’s low voice rumbles in my ear behind me. A big smile spreads across my face as I turn and look at him.

“Pierce,” I breathe out. He's so handsome. I stand on my tiptoes and kiss him.

“Pierce!” Eli calls and runs up behind us. He goes straight into Pierce's arms and I can't help but melt at the sight.

“Hey, bud. You’ll be good for Ellen while we're gone?” He asks him.

“Yeah, I will.” He grins at him.

“Good man.” Pierce pats his head.

“You ready?” He asks to which I hold up my small overnight bag.

“Yep.” I’m almost giddy.

“Shall we?” He holds out his arm and I take it before we wave good-bye.

He drives to his apartment where there’s a whole team to do my hair, makeup, and nails, as well as a massage therapist.

“Am I that ugly?” I joke to Pierce, who didn’t take it as such. His face gets hard and a frown forms on his face.

“Fuck Diana. That’s not what I meant,” he growls. “You're beautiful. I want to pamper you.”

“Pierce, relax. I was joking,” I say to soothe him. He seems to relax a bit.

“Not funny.” He growls then pulls me in for a kiss, though he releases me all too quickly. “Now go enjoy your time. I’ll be in my office.”

And so, I spent the next few hours getting pampered, something I've never done in my whole life. By the time I'm dressed and ready for the gala, I feel like a different person.
