Chapter 37
The next afternoon, Keyana walked back into her office, looking through the phone messages Lumien had given her since she was gone. She'd been out all morning going to various homes and shops with her clients. It was just about time for her next appointment. She set her lunch down on the table and started to return the phone calls.
"Yes this is Keyana Johnson returning your call. Right well I did put that down like you wanted and you should be receiving the invoice shortly. Yes, that's right. Ok then have a nice day." She put the phone down. She walked over and got the catalogues and samples out of various drawers, leaving occasionally to get other things she needed to take to Nick's house the next night. She'd be lying if she said she wasn't looking forward to seeing him. It was to the point that if she didn't see him everyday, she felt...empty.
"Girl you need help!" Keyana sighed out loud.
"Keyana, Mr. Clark is on line one for you." Lumien called, poking her head into her office.
"He is? Wow, ok thanks." Biting her lip she picked up the phone. "Mr. Clark, what can I do for you sir?"
"Ahh Miss. Johnson, I'm just calling you to tell you that you're doing a wonderful job. I just received a call from Mr. Morgenstern, and he's very impressed so far with your work, very impressed. I'm curious to see what you're gonna do with Mr. Carter's account. From the things I've approved so far, it looks to be rather interesting."
"Why thank you sir. I'm doing my best to make each of my clients happy."
"I can tell. I see great things in your future young lady. Keep up the good work." He hung up without so much as a good-bye.
Keyana smiled happily, things were going better than planned. Getting up she finished gathering her stuff and sat back down to eat her lunch.

That night, she sat on her bed thinking of him. She slid off the bed, making her way into the bathroom where she'd put the roses the day before. They did look good in her bathroom. She walked in and gently caressed a soft petal, leaning down to inhale the aroma. Standing back up, she walked over and turned the water on in the tub, picking up the bottle on the counter, added a generous amount. Looking into the mirror, she reached up and pulled the clasp out of her hair, letting it flow down her back. Turning her stereo on, she walked over to the tub. Untying her robe, she let it fall to the floor as she stepped forward into the water. Sinking down into the fragrant water she closed her eyes and dreamed of him.
