I hear him whistle“Oh gosh, you are… You are… so beautiful. I will surely dream of you tonight. This image will haunt me.”
I burst out laughing and get into bed with Willie following. “Happy to have given you an image of me, or rather another image of me half naked.”
“I'm not complaining.”
“Of course not. Let's go to sleep Logan, tomorrow we’ll start again.”
“The words that every man would like to hear.”
“Logan!!! I said sleep.”
“Yes, sure, sure.”We start to laugh together.
This call was perfect. We laughed a lot together and talked a lot, too.
“Kate, were you serious before?”
“About what?”
“About my return. Will you be there?”
I answer straight away, without thinking.“Sure.”
He smiles but then he turn serious again“I'm falling in love with you, baby, this thing worries me, it’s happening too quickly. It seems like I’ve known you forever.”
“You're just tired, Logan, we are comfortable talking. Let's see how it goes, don't rush.”
“Okay, good night, babe. A kiss.”
“Good night, Logan and dream of me,”I wink at him and send him a kiss before closing the conversation.
I let myself slip under the covers and fall asleep immediately.
CHAPTER 5
Am in the midst of the most beautiful erotic dream I have ever had in my life when the cell phone rings.
I answer with my eyes closed“I hope it's a matter of life or death, I have to be in the office only at 11 am.”
“Good morning to you too, sweetie, I didn't want to wake up, sorry.”
I open my eyes suddenly and sit up in a second“Logan... good morning. You should be sorry since you interrupted a very beautiful dream. “
“I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours,”he says.
“Huh, no thanks, too soon.”I turn to look at the time.“Logan it’s 7 am, what's going on?”
“I wanted to hear from you before the meeting this morning, I think I'll have to remember we are on different time zones.”
“It's not a problem, you're too sweet. It's just that usually early calls put me on alert. I'll have to get used to it, I guess.”
“Why on alert?”
Before I realize it, the words flow out of my mouth.“Because the lightning missions are always around the corner and at the most absurd hours. And I haven't had coffee yet.”
“Kate??”
“Hmmm?”I answer while I brush my teeth.
