Mai picked up the receiver and placed it to her ear "Chào buổi sáng" she said softly. On hearing Mai's voice Bill's face immediately flushed and he awkwardly stammered "Ahhh hi...Mai, it's..its Bill". The silence on the other end of the phone was deafening.
Bill started to explain why he hadn't contacted her since their last meeting, Mai smiled inwardly as he made his excuses but let him continue until he was done. She could hear him breathing heavily on the other end of the phone, waiting momentarily before purring "Tuesday 2:00 pm, you know where I'll be", the receiver went dead in his hands.
He wasn't sure how he felt given the one way conversation between them. He was thrilled to be seeing Mai again, but also felt anxious with the impending meeting. He felt conflicted as to whether to tell Phuong, if nothing more than to know where he was and reasoning with himself that the more people that knew the more risk of Trung and his cronies finding out and showing up...that he knew he didn't want.
Bill was also nervous about seeing Mai again, generally he was so confident and always in control with few situations unnerving him, but Mai was different in so many ways and she always seemed keep him a little off balance and unsure of himself.
One thing was certain, Tuesday couldn't come fast enough...
Such suspense... can't wait for Bill's next steamy encounter with her... mm..
