It's been so long since she'd seen him. Almost 2 months, 7 weeks and 4 days to be exact since she last saw him and she planned to rock his world for the two nights he'll be around. She'd taken the day off from her sales account manager job to get a spa day. She was going to be on point tonight, Olivia turned the shower off and stepped into her bedroom with a towel round her chest and another round her head. After selecting a playlist on her phone and setting on the docking station she started getting ready. She dried herself and got his favourite scent, Marc Jacobs body lotion and applied it. He always said she smelt roses and vanilla, soft warm and inviting, his words. She smiled at that thought.
She got her robe on and started on her hair. He loved it wavy and loose, it took her a while but she got it wavy and side swept revealing her long neck. She imagined him running his hands through it, she felt herself start getting excited at that thought so she clamped her legs together and changed her thoughts, smiling.
The La Perla lingerie, her pièce de résistance, with the right amount of lace mesh to tease a man to distraction. Popped on her mother teardrop earrings, her Donna Karen white spiral draped dress with its sculpted look does not need any more jewellery. She looked in the mirror and she knew she was knocking it out of the park tonight. Smokey eye, defined eyelashes, the dress that will make him want to peel her and discover what's hidden. All that's left is her 4-inch peep toes shoes and her bag. As she picked up her phone she saw the missed calls, multiple from Abby and Alexia. She knew what they were going to say and she was not interested in listening to that tonight. Last look in the mirror- check, keys to the apartment - check, wallet – check and clutch bag – check.
"Good to go" she thought
15 minutes later she was at the exclusive hotel approaching reception for the key card. There was always one in her name at every hotel, she doesn't know why she keeps the key cards but every key card of every hotel she has been in with him was residing in a box in her wardrobe. The suite was just opulent; it always was though.
"Oh my god if Alexia could see this bed, you could fit 6 adults in it".
There was a sitting area, a separate dining area and the bedroom. Her apartment could fit into this space twice. The bathroom was the size of her living room. It was gorgeous and she was happy. She tried to find a seductive pose to be discovered in. Laughing out loud while trying different positions. In the end she settled for sitting on the sofa because of the dress.
30 mins late now…. She ignored the champagne on ice and went to the mini bar for some juice
45 mins late…. pacing in circles
1hr late …. small bottle of scotch in hand, shoes off and she starts dialling.
"Olivia I'm sorry I'm coming straight after I finish here"
"Where are you Fitz" she asks quietly
"Teddy's school play, I'm coming straight after, the jet is on standby."
"YOU ARE IN CALIFORNIA? YOU ARE IN FUCKING CALIFORNIA?"
Fitz' voice drops "I promised him"
"And you couldn't tell me all day. Fuck you Fitz!"
That's how Olivia found herself in the nearest bar to the hotel ordering 3 shots in one go.
