So much of the real estate business involved selling myself, particularly when trying to land a client, and that meant I had to project a particular image based upon who the client was.
The morning of our presentation to Jacob and Nessie Black, I was also a little distracted by the fact that Edward had come to our meeting with a bottle of wine. He read my hastily written text message and assumed I was looking for a repeat performance. And apparently, he had been interested.
It was a confidence booster, that was for sure. The girls I had seen Edward with over the years we'd known each other were different in many ways, but they were all beautiful, smart, and confident as hell. The girl he had dated in college, Tanya, had been funny and sweet on top of that. She had never been anything but nice to me on the infrequent occasions we saw each other. My fond memories of Tanya, however, were tainted by the stories I overheard Edward telling on several occasions. Apparently, she was a tiger in the bedroom.
I was feeling a little saucy that morning, so I threw on a red dress with a tight, fitted blazer, and let my hair fall down over my shoulders. It was professional but alluring. My impression of Nessie had been that she liked a woman who had a handle on her sexuality, and if I could dole out a little payback to Edward for years of making me blush on purpose, well, that would be a bonus.
I winked at myself in the mirror as I put on my lipstick.
"Eat your heart out, Cullen."
A/N: Just a quick reminder, as of this chapter, one full day has passed since everything went down between them. So for those of you shaking your heads at the lack of communication...keep that in mind. :) We love your reviews, thank you so much for reading!
