Chapter 40

• Marilyn's POV
• My palms started getting sweaty and my head felt like it was spinning. I was excited as if I hadn't just seen Lorenzo with his woman. In fact, I knew that wasn't even the point here. The point was he had been with a woman in the last hour and he still decided to pick me. Unless he selected me on the previous day after I left work. Either way, I wasn't going to let what happened get in the way of me enjoying my trip with him. My mind wandered off to the silly little romantic moments that ladies usually have, him opening our hotel room door and gesturing for me to walk in. Perhaps he'd pour me a glass of the expensive champagne and confess his attraction to me right before smashing his lips into mine. That's how it always went in those kinds of stories and I couldn't wait to see if they were true or not.
• I tried to concentrate on my new job, packing and making sure to collect the tickets for our flight. So I flipped through the contacts that came up and called the front desk at the airport to remind them to prepare our tickets for noon. After saying goodbye to one person, another person picked up the phone and gave me the same information I got from the front desk earlier. Once I hung up, I pulled out my laptop and checked the airline website to make sure everything was online. Everything was in order.
