‘Just to be clear, the team needs to continue the fund raising which is good for your character and invests you in the effort. I will make up the difference although, I will talk to him about how you will travel and where you will stay. I will probably suggest something else and that difference I will fund as well.’
‘Sir, you are the greatest!’ Georgios ran up and hugged Jamie who patted him on the back and gave me a big smile while a tear rolled down my cheek.
‘Here is a little something for you.’
It was a fricking $100 bill!
Georgios looked at it and said, ‘Sir, as always Dad added the delivery charge and tip to your bill. There is no need to do that as I have said before.’
‘Once again, this is for you. Take your girlfriend out to a nice dinner. It will make me happy for you to take it. Please accept it,’ Jamie said in a calm almost pleading voice.
‘Thank you, sir. Maria will really appreciate it as I always do. I think she stays with me because I take her to these classy places because of you.’
‘No, no Georgios. You have a kind heart; you respect her and don’t pressure her for anything like other young men. She is lucky to have found someone like you.’
I busted out in a happy, emotional crying. I was so impressed with Jamie. I had to leave the room.
Goodbyes were said. And then we were alone. Finally. Finally, alone. God me help me, alone with Jamie.

‘Dinner is about two hours away. Some of the dishes need that time to cook. I brought my cook in to finish up. Do you have something casual and comfortable to wear for a cocktail hour?’
‘No, I just have my power suits and bedtime clothes.’
‘Clearly you look great in your power suit maybe for dinner. Bedtime clothes would be appropriate for later. May I suggest you place your roller board in the guest room? Linda keeps all her clothes there. My guess you are the same sizes. Pick out something casual for the cocktail hour. She has quite a collection to choose from. I can help if you wish.’
Holy cow, I am so out of control of this situation. He will pick out my clothes if I don’t stop him. Maybe I should accept his help and ask him to dress me. Stop thinking like that.
I had a very simple seduction plan. He has a very elegant plan in mind — I think. I am starting to like his plan.
‘If I need your help, I will ask.
Sorry, didn’t mean for it to sound that way. Thank you for your offer, if I have difficulty or indecision, I will request your support.’ That sounded really stupid. I am so nervous. I am totally losing it.
‘No problem. Remember I am your host and will meet your every need.’
I feel so inferior to Jamie. I am the aunt; I should be the wise one. I am beginning to believe the roles are reversed.
I dutifully headed to the bedroom. In the enormous closet I found a mixture of all the most expensive labels of clothing for exercise, morning attire, afternoon, cocktail hour, casual dinner, elegant dinner, bedtime, and sexy bedtime. Nothing cheap here.
I picked out a cocktail hour dress with plunging neckline, conservative length with stylish heels. My feet were still killing me but what the fuck. It fit perfectly. In the bedroom suite, there was a makeup area. I touched up where the tears had flowed. The perfumes were the $1,000 an ounce variety that I sprayed on conservatively. I let my hair down from the ponytail. I pushed my breasts up into my bra to give the illusion they were busting out. I was ready to face Jamie for cocktail hour.
