12 Days Of Forever (10 page)

“Remember: no sexting while I’m working.” He laughs and kisses me one more

time.

“I can’t make any promises,” I say, winking. He blushes and shakes his head.

One last kiss and I’m making my way through security. I wave at him before I

turn the corner and disappear down the hall. My phone chimes, and I roll my eyes. He can’t even wait until I was home before he texts. I pull out my phone and tap my message icon.

Lindsey: Thought you should know Oliver has been spending time with Cami, and she’s
on the list as the lead for tomorrow.

I stop dead in my tracks. Cami is my rival and much younger than I am. Let’s face it, I’m no spring chicken, but I take care of myself and I work hard to retain my youthful appearance. She has been after my role for months. I’ve caught her a few times flirting with Oliver, but he assured me he wasn’t interested in her. If she’s taking my spot that only means one thing. They’re sleeping together. I know I have no room to talk, but I’ve never been with him to advance my career. If she’s taking the lead, I don’t have practice for a few days. I look around at the lack of people traveling today and wonder what I’m doing.

I look down at my phone and pull up Xander’s message from earlier. The message

from him gloating about his prowess stares back at me. I don’t know what I’m doing, or what I want, but maybe if I spend more time with him and my family I can figure it out.

Do you have plans for New Years Eve?
