Chapter 25
25
D ipping the strawberries in melted chocolate, I’m full-on fantasizing about tonight. He’s going to need to pull those wings out of retirement. Those fucking wings. I bite my lip.
After dipping the last strawberry, I place it on the serving tray to rest with the others and lick the chocolate off the spoon. On a flirty whim, I send Aaron a picture of me licking the spoon. Aaron’s response is immediate.
Aaron Olson
I have nothing respectful to say.
I laugh, walking to the shower to get ready for tonight.
Wrapped in a towel, I stare at my underwear drawer. I put on a matching pink lace bra and underwear set, leaning into the Valentine’s Day theme. Aaron’s hands touching me, like how he did after our last date, play and replay in my memory. Grabbing a condom from my nightstand, I slide it into one of the cups of my bra. Smiling, I think that will be a fun surprise for later.
My surprise! I almost forgot about the whipped cream I bought. I can’t forget that.
My secret admirer really seemed to be into my legs at the bar. Going through my closet, I decide on a red, long-sleeved, v-neck sweater dress. I typically wear tights with it since it’s so short, but tonight … I’ll skip those. Looking at my shoes, it would be a bit much to wear heels, so I decide instead to wear over-the-knee, tan, suede boots.
Giving myself one final look in the mirror, I think I look very fuckable and hope it happens.
While Aaron doesn’t mind walking a half mile in the cold, I do. I put the whipped cream in my bag and carry the chocolate covered strawberries to my car.
