2.10 p.m. Babe, are you already at home?
I feel Daniel's breath on my shoulder.“Do you know that eavesdropping or peeking is a sin?”
“Nah, I don't think so. Who is this… babe?”he says, moving his eyebrows in a way that I nudge him.
“Logan, a guy I met last night,”I say and in the meantime I reply to the message.
2.30 p.m. Babe? Did we get to nicknames already?! And to answer your question, no, I'm in London and now we're going back to Italy. Already finished work?
2.35 p.m. I just got back to the base. I’m sorry, I just picture you as being very tiny, perfect to be in my arms. But if it bothers you, I'll stop. How come the stop, what's in London?
2.36 p.m. No problem, it doesn't bother me. I love being in someone's arms, safe. Mandatory stop in London, my husband was there. I got the divorce papers signed.
2.36 p.m. Not someone's! But MINE! By the way... I didn't know... I'm sorry… can I call you when you come back home?
2.37 p.m. No, don’t worry. Yes, of course, I’m landing in two hours and going home. See you later.
Daniel waits silently and looks at me amused“already on the track, huh?!”
“Oh, stop it, I'm just having fun”and we get back on board the jet.
Two hours and I can hear his voice again. It's weird but the more I hear from him, the more I want to hear him. I have to stay grounded, though, he doesn't know everything about me, he doesn't even know what I do and I'm sure he won't like to know that I have omitted something so fundamental. I can't wait long to tell him the truth.
An hour and a half later, we land. Miraculously, I don't have to go to the office so I take the car and go home. It has to be my lucky day, no traffic and green traffic lights.
Willie is super happy to see me and jumps on me, not realizing that he is a 125 lb. giant Rottweiller. He thinks he's still the 5 lb. puppy he used to be. He is my best friend and I love him so much.
After pampering him, I go inside the house with him, put all my stuff away and go for a quick shower.
I just have time to put on a top and a pair of shorts that I hear the phone ringing. I put on the headphones and go downstairs to make myself a salad. I usually have dinner at 6 pm but I skipped lunch and I'm starving now.
Arriving in the kitchen, I answer while I pet Willie“Hey, on time as always.”
“Hello, if you want I can call you later,”Logan says.
“Absolutely not, how did your day go?”
“Hmmm, well...”
And then, silence.
“What's going on?”
“Nothing is that I imagined the phone call differently.”
I smile shaking my head “what do you mean?”
“I love the way you smile, but I would like to see you and not your puppy enjoying your pampering. Did you realize it's a video call?”
“What?”I turn around to the cell phone that I had placed on the ground and I find a smiling Logan looking at me.
“Well, hello there.”
“You have to stop always taking me off of guard, Logan. “
“It's so nice to see you blush. And then it's nice to see you. You are beautiful.”
Crap!! “In my defense, I came out of the shower a little while ago and then I wasn't expecting a video call. Wait a second, I’ll connect you to the monitor.”
