Chloe awoke after a few hours of sleep, she had not slept well and now it was 9am in the morning and she needed to call Janet and check on the shop.<br/><br/>Chloe sat up in bed and phoned Janet explaining that she was still going to be out for a few more days and that Janet could run the shop while she was gone. She let Janet know she was confident it her and that she was not worried at all. When Chloe hung up she thought about how Janet probably could run the shop better than her.<br/><br/>Chloe noticed she had a message and couldn't imagine who would have called her in the middle of the night. She listened to the message and smiled to herself. She thought about the good looking Alex and his invitation she had turned down. Chloe thought to herself, '<em>He does not give up that is for sure.'</em>which she was very glad about at the moment.<br/><br/>She phoned him back and left a message, she knew he would be in classes. She said, "<strong><em>Alex I just got your message. I am not working this week but if you would like to meet for lunch I will meet you at Joe's bar and grill for lunch. Let me know if you can or can not make it, if we can't get together perhaps tomorrow. I am interested in what it is we need to discuss."</em></strong><br/><br/>Chloe hung up with a smile on her face. Here she was feeling sorry for herself that her sisters seemed to have someone and she didn't and now Alex called her. She did remind herself that they had a business deal in the works and that he might just want to see her about that. Chloe however hoped that it was more than that. She began by taking a nice hot shower and relaxing herself.<br/><br/>She went down to the kitchen and it looked like no one was up yet. She had her fuzzy pink robe and slippers on as she made coffee. Chloe went to get the newspaper from the front stoop and when she returned she sat down at the kitchen table and began reading about all the things that had happened the day before. She got disgusted and finally read the funnies while drinking her coffee. After a couple of cups of coffee she went upstairs to get dressed so she would not be late if Alex called and wanted to still meet for lunch.<br/><br/>Chloe chose to wear some jeans and a cute top, a little sexy but not to much and some heels. This was a lunch date and she wanted to look nice.<br/><br/><div align="center">(http://i863.photobucket.com/albums/ab196/eo1968/862_main.jpg)</div><br/>
