03. Late Night Phone Call

"What are you wearing," he asks her.

He has just finished his shower and is now lying upon the satin sheets of his hotel room, wishing she were with him.

"I'm not sure you can handle what I'm wearing," she admitted.

She was plucking one of the roses from the bouquet he sent her but she was still wearing a towel. She imagined that he was lying in his four-poster hotel room with very little on. She has to concede that the thought drives her crazy. Turns her on to be more precise.

"A woman of mystery, "he concluded. "Are you trying to give me heart failure?"

"Robert Scorpio, are you actually trying to flirt with me over the phone?"

"No trying about it Luv…I told you I would woo you…I meant that."

"So you did," she agreed. "Is that why you called so late at night? Were you hoping to convince me to have a night cap with you?"

"Would I stand a chance?"

"Mr. Scorpio…what kind of woman do you think I am, "she asks, in mock indignation.

"One of a kind, "he states.

"I'll tell you what," she compromises. "Why don't you meet me at my hotel at 6 am? We can grab some coffee and watch the sunrise. Get to know each other a little better."

"I'll be there," he agrees. "Good night Annie."

I am pretty sure I am falling in love with you.

"Robbie?"

"Change your mind already," he jokes.

"Actually I just wanted to say thank you for the flowers. Nice try though."

"You can't blame a guy for trying. Sweet Dreams Luv."

"Good Night Robbie."

I think I am falling in love with you.

She hangs up the phone and stretches out on the bed. It was time to brush her hair and get ready for sleep. Just after she finishes putting on her nightgown and climbs under the covers, her phone chimes.

"Make it 5:30. I will bring breakfast. "

She turns out the light with a smile and quickly texts. "You pamper me Robbie. I like it."

She is about to put her phone back on the nightstand when another text comes through.

"You deserve to be pampered Annie."

I will see you in my dreams tonight.

"Good Night Robbie. Sweet Dreams."

I will be seeing you in mine tonight.

"Goodnight Annie."

They sighed as they finally ended the conversation and settled back against their respective pillows. That night as they slept, their dreams drifted to each other and long nights making love by the fireplace. Cold Showers would definitely be required come morning light.
