Not Safe For Work: A Steamy Fake Dating Romance

Chapter 25

We don’t havea week together to practice wine-tasting.

We don’t even have a day.

I leave for Carmel after work, a girls’ weekend to celebrate Andie’s birthday. And before I get back on Sunday, Gavin will be catching a flight to New York, where he’s meeting with clients until he returns Thursday night.

If it was anyone other than Andie I might cancel, but we’ve been talking about going to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and playing Spanish Bay for months. Andie and I golf together in Half Moon Bay all the time, but we never plan ahead enough to get tee times in Carmel. It’s finally happening.

Maybe it’s too early to be disappointed about being apart for one week, but this thing with Gavin is feeling more real by the minute.

SATURDAY

Gavin Scott:

Hey

I miss you

Is it weird to say that?

Me:

I miss you too

Sharing a bed with Andie just isn’t the same

Gavin Scott:

It better not be

Sure you can’t get home a little earlier tomorrow? I don’t have to be at the airport until seven

Me:

Doubt it. Our tee time’s not until one. We couldn’t get anything earlier

Gavin Scott:

You play golf? How the hell didn’t I know this?

Me:

I’m full of surprises ;)

Gavin Scott:

Send pics!

SUNDAY

Gavin Scott:

You are an exceptionally cute golfer. Can you wear the visor next time we… ?

Me:

Scottie!

Gavin Scott:

;)

About to take off

Me:

Call me when you land

MONDAY

Me:

How’d you sleep? Are you feeling better?

Gavin Scott:

Not really. Already missed my first meeting

Me:

That sucks, I’m sorry. Anything I can do?

Gavin Scott:

Yeah, actually

Stop apologizing!

Me:

I’m not at all sorry about your recent misfortune, but would like to share my deepest sympathies and offer anything I can to cheer you up

Gavin Scott:

More golf pics?

TUESDAY

Gavin Scott:

Closed the deal

Wish you were here to celebrate with me

Me:

Congrats!

We’ll celebrate when you get back

In Sonoma! *wine emoji* *grapes emoji*

Gavin Scott:

What are you doing now?

Me:

Just got out of the shower

Gavin Scott:

Pics or it didn’t happen

Me:

Nice try. You’ll have to use your imagination

Gavin Scott:

Getting pretty good at that actually

Me:

Yeah?

Gavin Scott:

Of course. Don’t you ever think about me when you’re alone?

Me:

Maybe

Gavin Scott:

What do you think about?

Me:

You really wanna know?

Gavin Scott:

Absolutely

Me:

The night before we went to Mexico

Gavin Scott:

Be more specific Sparkles

Me:

When you tugged at my bottom lip with your thumb. It was the hottest thing I’d ever felt. I wanted you to kiss me so bad that I picture it in my head and pretend you did

Gavin Scott:

Are you thinking about it now?

Me:

Maybe

Gavin Scott:

Are you touching yourself?

Me:

Do you want me to be?

Gavin Scott:

Fuck yes

Me:

Are you touching yourself?

Gavin Scott:

I’ve never been so hard in my life

Me:

What are you picturing?

Gavin Scott:

You

Those heels wrapped around my shoulders

Your hand between your legs

Me:

I could go get the heels if you want but I don’t feel like moving

Gavin Scott:

Don’t you dare

Me:

I’m thinking about the elevator now

What would you have done if no one interrupted us?

Gavin Scott:

Gotten on my knees and worshiped you

I would have made you come even with all that lace between us

Me:

I wish it was you making me come now

Gavin Scott:

It will be in two days

Are you close?

Me:

Yes

Gavin Scott:

Can I call? I wanna hear you

Me:

Better hurry

WEDNESDAY

Gavin Scott:

Sorry if I fell asleep on the phone last night

This time change kills me

Me:

That’s okay. I just figured you were bored. I don’t think I’ve ever talked on the phone that long in my life

Gavin Scott:

Nothing about you is boring

Especially last night

Me:

Not even all the random stories about my brothers?

Gavin Scott:

Are you kidding?

The one about them throwing you in a wine barrel…priceless

Me:

That was very traumatic! I thought I was going to drown

My brothers can be horrible sometimes

Gavin Scott:

I promise I’ll keep you safe this weekend

THURSDAY

Gavin Scott:

Are you still awake?

Me:

Are you back?

Gavin Scott:

Just leaving the airport

Me:

Come over

Gavin Scott:

It’s late, are you sure?

Me:

Gavin Scott:

ETA says 22 minutes
