Chapter 13

The next two days went by faster than Maggie would have liked. She was nervous about Friday, how it would go, and if they would sleep together.

It didn’t help that he texted her Wednesday night, saying that he couldn’t wait to see her.

Could he be all that excited about seeing her? Could he really want to spend time with her? She just didn’t know what to think, but Makayla kept telling her to relax and just enjoy the evening. Thursday night, after a quick shower, Maggie decided to send Liam a text, just to make sure that they were still on.

Maggie

We still on for tomorrow?

Liam

Darling I wouldn’t be anywhere else!

Maggie

I dreamed about you last night…

There was no response for several minutes, and then her phone rang, making her jump.

“H-hello?”

“Darling, that was a very naughty thing to do! Here I am trying to work and finish this case, and you send me a text telling me you dreamed about me last night! What happened in your dream?”

She immediately had goosebumps as she listened to him talk. She swallowed and replied, “Well, we went to dinner, and then you brought me home…”

“And what did we do after I brought you home?”

She closed her eyes and blushed, even though she was by herself. She was so much braver by text!

“Darling, I need an answer!”

“Are you in a room full of people?”

“No, I walked out of the conference room and am currently in my office. What was your dream about?”

“You are so demanding! Do you always get what you want?”

“Darling, you have no idea! And you are cheeky, aren’t you?”

“My grandma always said my smart mouth could get me in or out of trouble. I dreamed we came back to my place and you…you and I had sex…”

“Was there anything special about what we did?”

“Liam, I never meant—”

“Maggie, answer the question! You started this, now finish it!”

“Fine! You were very adventurous with your hands…”

“And that’s it?”

She whispered something back, and he didn’t hear it.

“I didn’t catch that, so please repeat it, darling.”

She groaned. “And with your tongue!”

“Excellent! That’s all I needed to know, darling. I have to go, but I definitely will be seeing you tomorrow! Sleep well, Maggie, dream of me again!” he said with a sexy tone in his voice.

Maggie was a flushed mess at his words. She lost that game big time!

She went to the bathroom and practiced curling her hair with a cold curling iron to see if she could do it one-handed. It was possible, although a lengthy process.

The new green dress looked perfect and didn’t need any ironing, so she hopped in the shower and shaved everywhere to get ready for the next day.

Liam hung up and walked back into the conference room to meet his staff with a large smile on his face. Nick leaned over as he sat down.

“What are you so happy about?”

“I have a date tomorrow night.”

“You don’t date! You take women out for an event and then sex. What is going on? Was that the lady with the phone?” Nick asked with a raised voice.

“Bloody hell, Nick! Keep your voice down!”

Nick looked at his good friend and wondered what was up.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, let’s finish this up quickly. I would like closing arguments done by ten so we can send it to the jury and have the verdict back by five!

“Let’s hear Suzanne and Greg present their closings and we can decide who will finish up.”

The staff started working and presented to the group. Nick did a quick search and found some pictures of Maggie in the yearbooks from the school where she worked.

She was very pretty, and Nick could see the attraction, but there had to be something more for Liam to be so taken by her. He was going to have to see what happened after Friday.

The school day went by quickly. Soon she was walking to her borrowed SUV holding the massive bouquet in a box.

Her arm had finally stopped hurting all the time, and she no longer needed the sling.

She arrived home, brought up her bag and the flowers carefully with only one good arm, and flopped on the couch for a minute to let reality set in.

She was going on a date with a very hot Englishman, who had been seducing and romancing her for the last two weeks, and that had her in a tailspin. She was never like this, and it was unnerving.

She looked at the clock and took a deep breath before getting up to start working on her hair.

After thirty minutes, she was very pleased with the big waves she had created with the hot iron.

She took a wet wipe and took off the minimal makeup she wore to work and redid it for the evening.

Then she went into her room and put on the brand new black lacy thong and bra set that she had splurged on a few weeks ago while upset about Jason and Olivia.

She usually opted for cotton thongs and boy’s shorts as they were so much more practical. But that wasn’t going to cut it tonight.

She liked the way they fit on her and had to admit that she looked good. She ran her fingers over the silky material, enjoying the feel of the silk.

She took another deep breath, took the dress off the hanger, and pulled it over her head. The dress was amazing, and the quality was on a whole different level.

She looked in her full-length mirror and was shocked to see how the dress fit her perfectly. It hugged her curves and clung to her body like a second skin.

“Shit…this is…this is fucking unreal! How the hell did he know my size?” she hissed.

She looked at the clock and cursed under her breath, knowing she didn’t have time to change her mind.

She rushed into the bathroom, put on more deodorant, and sprayed her favorite perfume over her body before slipping on her favorite black heels.

She had to admit that she looked really good and just hoped and prayed that Liam thought so too.

As she was looking in the mirror, the doorbell rang.

It was now or never.
