"Hello beautiful" his husky voice greeted at the other end of the phone, causing a deep blush to spread all over her cheeks.
That was the kind of effect he had on her.
"Hello to you too, hunk" she replied after regaining her composure, earning a deep chuckle from him.
"Let me guess... Henry isn't with you"
"Nah. He's busy, so he sent a chauffeur"
"That's new. I'm sure he's worried sick right now"
"A little" she said with a smile.
"Can't blame him though. You're his everything"
"And you? What am I to you?"
"You mean the world to me"
She knew that already, but still wanted to hear him say it, as it gave her the assurance and confidence she needed.
"How was your flight?" He asked, changing the subject.
"It was fine, although I was lonely" she explained with a pout
"I miss you so much. I can't wait to be with you" she continued
"I was with you for a whole week just.. was it three weeks ago? When you lied about being sick" he reminded her, chuckling at the end of his sentence as he recalled the events that took place three weeks ago.
"Not fair. I was actually stressed from preparing for my exams, so I needed my stress reliever, if that's even a word. You can't blame me"
"That's why I had to rush out of a board meeting without an explanation, hire a plane in less than an hour and fly down to Chicago, just to be with you"
It was now her turn to chuckle, as she couldn't help but recall how worried he looked when he arrived at their meeting point. It was a house he bought for her for her twenty first birthday.
"Aww, but you promised I could see you anytime I want. You're only one call away, remember?"
"Yeah, actually I do, and I love you for taking advantage of it in the slightest way possible"
"I love you more" she cooed
"What time are you coming over?" He then asked
"Someone's excited to see me" she joked
"You can't blame me. You have that much effect on me"
She couldn't help but let out a squeal from his confession. Moments like this when he admits his feelings were priceless to her.
"Dad is going to make up for not picking me up by taking me out to dinner. So, I'll be at your place by nine"
"I'll be expecting you"
"We just arrived and... Oh my God! Dad is waiting for me with a brand new Ferrari. I knew he was up to something"
"Typical of him"
"I'm sorry I have to hang up. I can't wait to be in your arms. I love you"
"I love you more. Have fun"
