think it’s a little strange that I’m inviting them over for dinner without you being here?”

“You’ll think of something.” She grinned.

I grabbed a bottle of wine and poured some into two glasses. The doorman called to let me know our food was here, and I told him to send the delivery guy up.

“The food is on its way up and I need to take this call. Can you grab it?”

“Yeah. Of course,” she said.

After I took the call from Steven, I went back into the kitchen where Everly had set dinner on the table.

“I had to tell the delivery kid to go a different way back to the restaurant.”

“Why?”

“Because when I took the bag from him, I saw him on his bike getting hit by a cab.”

“Oh shit. Is he going a different way?”

“He said he would, but who knows. He might just think I’m crazy.”

“Well, for his sake, I hope he listened.”

Two Months Later

Everly

Two months had passed since I’d moved in with Asher and life couldn’t have been more amazing. My business was growing, Asher was thriving at work, Daniel proposed to Diana, and she was getting bigger every day.

“Don’t forget I’m going shopping today for a dress for the charity ball.” I smiled at Asher as I handed him a cup of coffee.

“I haven’t forgotten. You’re going with Diana, right?”

“Yes.” I smirked.

“Ah. So you’re the reason she told Richard she was taking the day off.”

“That’s right. Do you have a problem with it, Mr. Remington?” I asked as I grabbed hold of his tie.

“If I did, can we fight about it and have make up sex?” A smirk crossed his lips before he pressed them on mine.

“We can fight about it, but I can promise you there will be no make-up sex.”

“Guess what?” He grinned. “I don’t have a problem with it at all. You two go have fun today. You both deserve it.” He kissed my forehead.

“That’s what I thought, and guess what?” I shouted as he walked towards the elevator. “You’re getting sex tonight!”

“I already planned on it, sweetheart.”

I laughed as I sipped my coffee. I loved that man more than life itself. Suddenly, I heard the elevator door open and Asher walked back into the kitchen.

“Did you forget something?”

“I did.” He reached in his wallet and pulled out his credit card. “I forgot to give you this. Buy whatever you want. Spend thousands for all I care and buy Diana’s dress.”

“Wow. Thanks, baby.” I reached up and kissed his lips.

“You’re welcome.” He grinned as he turned around and headed towards the elevator.

“Just so you know, you’re getting extra tonight.” I shouted.

“Stop it, Everly! I’m late for work.”

We went to Serendipity’s to grab some lunch before we headed to Bloomingdale’s to do some shopping.

“I’m so happy you took the day off.” I smiled.

“Me too and Richard was really cool about it even though we have this major project due in a couple days. He said a day off rejuvenates the mind and he knows I’ll come back tomorrow even better.”

“Wow. He sounds like a really good boss.”

“He is. You’ve haven’t met him yet, have you?”

“No. Remember last week when I came to the office, he was in a meeting.”

“That’s right. No worries. You’ll get to meet him at the fundraiser. His wife, Christina, is so sweet. She came to the office yesterday with a container filled with chocolate chip cookies she had just made. They were to die for. I think you’ll really like her too.”

“I can’t wait to meet them.”

After we finished our lunch, we headed to Bloomingdale’s to shop. When we finally made it to the department where the formal dresses were, I stood there and stared at the mannequin before me. It was dressed in a long silver sparkly gown. The same exact gown I was wearing in my dream when I first dreamt about Asher.

“Earth to Everly.” Diana waved her hand in front of me. “Hey, are you okay?”

Snapping back into reality, I looked at her.

“Yeah. I think this is the dress.” I stared at it.

“Wow. That is gorgeous. Try it on. I saw one over here I liked.”

The sales associate got me the dress in a size 4 and placed it into the fitting room. Diana was in the room right next to me. Slipping on the dress, I couldn’t reach the zipper to zip it up all the way.

“Diana, did you try your dress on?” I asked over the wall.

“I just got into it.”

“I need help with my zipper.”

She walked over and zipped it up as I stood on the platform in front of the three-way mirror.

“Oh my God, Everly. That dress looks gorgeous on you.”

I stared at myself as flashes of my dream standing in the middle of the ballroom flashed through my head.

“Hey. What’s going on?” Diana asked.

“It’s this dress. It’s the same one I was wearing when the dreams about Asher started.”

“The same exact one?”

“Yeah.”

“Then it’s meant for you. Right?”

“I guess. I do love it and I loved it in my dream.”

“Then don’t worry about it and just buy it. I don’t like this dress. I need something a little more flowy.”

I gave the sales associate the dress and told her I’d take it. Diana had finally found something she felt comfortable in, but she hesitated.

“I love this but it’s so expensive.”

“Please. Asher is buying it for you.”

“Oh my God, no!”

“Yes. He gave me his card this morning and told me to buy your dress.”

“Why would he do that?”

“Because you’re his employee.” I smiled at her.

“So? He doesn’t buy the other employees their outfits.”

“You’re the best friend of the woman he loves. He’d be very offended if you didn’t let him.”

“Fine. I’ll thank him tomorrow when I see him.”

After purchasing the dresses, we headed to the shoe department so I could buy some matching shoes. I tried to get Diana to buy a pair, but she refused and said she already had a pair at home.

I stood in the center
