I blush, thinking about it, and then I scowl at myself in the mirror
for blushing and pull my robe off of its hook, tugging it over my arms and knotting it tight around my waist.
Honestly, I’m a mafia mistress now. A real one. Shouldn’t I be beyond embarrassment?
A knock comes at my bedroom door and, eager for the
distraction, I move to it quickly. I don’t have plans for the evening –
but did Kent…?
When I open the door, I’m surprised but not displeased to see
Jerome standing there, looking bored. I give him a happy smile
and he opens his mouth to say something, but then he freezes
after he takes one look at me.
“What?” I say, taking a step back, my hands flying to anxiously twist the ends of my wet hair. “What’s wrong?”
“Oh my god,” Jerome whispers, leaning forward and grinning at me. “You actually did it, didn’t you?”
I freeze – no way – there’s no way he knows so fast-
“Oh my god, you totally did!” Jerome hisses, gleeful, “You actually boned Lippert! –”
“Jerome!” I gasp, looking out into the hallway, frantic. “What the are you serious–how did you?!” Then, desperate, I tug him

“Fay, please, I’m dying,” Jerome laughs as he stumbles across my
floor, his voice half whisper and half glee. “Please, you have to tell me everything –”
“I’m not telling you anything!” I hiss, giving him a little shove so
that he falls back against the bed. “Even if there were anything to
tell – I’m not going to -I mean, I wouldn’t –“I blush now, pursing
my lips, realizing that…well, that it’s no good.
Jerome sits perched on the end of my bed, leaning forward,
grinning at me as if it’s Christmas morning. “Come on, Fay, I won’t tell anyone – I can keep a secret!”
“We’re not girlfriends, Jerome!” I huff at him, “this isn’t a slumber
party – I’m not telling you my deepest darkest just because you
ask!” I cross my arms but I can’t help smiling a little. Honestly, I am dying to talk to someone about it, and I do like Jerome.
“Oh, it’s not a slumber party?” Jerome asks, smirking and raising his brows. “Like the one you had last night with my boyfriend? Really, Fay, you do like to have Lippert men in your bed-‘
“Ew!” I say, dashing forward to smack him on the arm. “You of all
people should know that it’s not like that between me and Daniel and wait” I freeze, my arm raised to smack him again. “Did you

just–did you just call Daniel your boyfriend?”
Now it’s Jerome’s turn to blush. “No – I mean, it was a slip – we’re

“You’re what?” I breathe, dying to know, leaning towards him.
“Quid pro quo, Miss Alden,” Jerome snaps, quickly pulling himself back together and retaking control of the conversation. “I’ll tell you if you tell me.”
I stand up straight, folding my arms over my chest studying him.
“Fine. You tell me first.”
“No way – you go –”
“No!” I interject, laughing. “You tell me, or I’ll make Kent fire you –”
“Unfair!” Jerome cries, jumping to his feet. “You can’t leverage your sugar daddy’s –”
