My mouth opens, closes, and opens again. Nothing comes out except a shaky exhale. The scene before me is so odd, and out of place, it’s comical. Noticing my lack of thought process, Cherie waves me over to an empty chair in front of her, which I gladly take. “Thanks for coming in today, Kelly. You look very nice today.” She says thoughtfully. “Umm, thanks Cherie. You also,” I sputter, trying my hardest to keep my eyes trained on her and not the devilishly handsome man sitting to my left. It’s useless. His gaze scorches right through me. He could be clear across the room and I would still feel the warmth those clear jade eyes of his instills within me. It doesn’t help that I’m still reeling from the frenzy he worked me into yesterday. Pushing down my ramping hormones, I glance around the room once again, taking in the extreme craziness of it all, and letting out a nervous laugh. “What is all this?”
