The Songbird soars into the sky, a majestic creature, just like her name. I haven’t gone inside the main entrance yet. I’m still taking it all in. I went out of the private residence’s door this morning and took a walk in Central Park to clear my head. And because it was dark when the cab dropped me off from the airport last night, this is the first time I’m seeing the hotel’s main frontage in all its glory.
Say. That. Again.” He glares at me, his eyes penetrating deep into mine, his jaw tense. His chest expands as he draws in a breath and then lets it out in the small space that still exists between us. Mint mixes with the scent of him, and without thinking, I lean closer and inhale. Reed is one of those guys who always has different female company. None of whom he cares to ask the names of. It seems to suit him. He comes across as happy as a pig in shit when we get the chance to catch up. It’s not as often as we used to. Not since he moved to LA to run for Governor. But in politics, anything can change. I know for a fact he has his sights set on the New York Mayor’s office. And after my meeting there this morning to discuss some planning I’m applying for downtown, I’d say he’s in with a shot. The entire staff there seemed on tenterhooks. Hushed conversations, worried glances. There is definitely a shake-up on the horizon. I can’t help my gaze dropping to the exposed skin and hint of pink lace camisole visible by the top button of her shirt.
The same fiery annoyance that caused her eyes to darken as she looked at me, setting a whole host of images coursing through my imagination. What to expect – Suits, spice, scandal, singing, pink fluff, houseplants, sloths, letting go of the past, healing, forgiveness, trusting your instincts, redemption, a love so deep it makes your eyes water, and of course, a happily ever after because love always wins. I tried my best. I really did. But I could not bring myself to read more than 33%. I literally dragged myself up there until I just couldn’t take it anymore. Harley slings her bag down and then throws herself into the velvet padded seat, pulling me with her.
Griffin Parker on the other hand is a control freak. He’s had some misfortunes in his past where his trust was betrayed that he’s struggling to let go of. Through his time with Maria he starts to realize just how negatively that is affecting him. If I’m being perfectly honest, there’s nothing going on upstairs in this mans head. Completely empty. His only thoughts are “MINE.” And “KILL ALL THE BIRDS” 😂 Which makes him come across as a bit of a Neanderthal, but whatever. I’m not here for realism.Harley smiles at me. “Come on. Let’s go find Mr. Parker and say good morning. Then I’m giving you the grand tour before all the boring ‘welcome to the company’ paperwork begins.” I fight to keep the amusement from my face. She heard Reed doing God knows what last night and thinks it was me. It was brilliant, thank you. Although the sound proofing between apartments could do with updating.” I raise my eyes to his.
That guy? Does he still look like he should be on the Johnson’s no tears shampoo commercial?” Reed grins. Pigeons,” Earl mutters. “Every morning, I shoo them away. But sometimes they’ve already left us a gift. I have to make sure the evidence is gone before Mr. Parker arrives.” Look. This is what the grower in The Bahamas is charging our supplier for coconut sugar. Over double what I expected to see from last year’s prices with the same grower.”She gives me a polite smile, her eyes darting to Reed’s closed door behind me. “Going out tonight?”
