"Claire, you know full well that I can't do anything this weekend. I have the gallery unveiling. I can't miss it." I told my assistant over the phone as I packed my paintings away for transportation.
"I know but this is a big thing for you-"
"And so is this damned unveiling. If I get a chance to make it big this weekend, I'm taking it and you with me. It's a win, win, Claire. Stop fussing. I have a plan." I said, cutting her off.
"Oh?" I could hear the smirk dripping from her mouth. "And what plan would that be?"
"As usual. Make it up as I go along." I chuckled. "Look, I have to go. I'll talk to you later."
I hung up the phone after a rushed goodbye and finished packing away my art.

About twenty minutes had passed and there was a sudden knock on the door. I went over to answer it.
"Hello." I smirked, leaning on the doorwell as my man gave me a small smile.
"Hello darling." Daniel leaned down from his 6"4 towering height to kiss me. "How is my love today?"
I sighed as I leaned into him. "Stressed out and tired. This unveiling will be the death of me."
"Well... You know what they say." Daniel chuckled. "The price of an artist's work multiplies after they die."
I slapped him on the arm playfully, telling him to shut up.
I let him in and moved the four canvases from the sofa.
"You're amazing, you know that? I fall in love with your work everytime I see it." He smiled.
I blushed as he sat down. "You're too cute. Coffee?"
Daniel nodded, allowing me to disappear into the kitchen.
I made the coffee and brought them back into the living room, setting them down on the coffee table.
"So are you all ready for Saturday night?" Daniel asked, reaching for his coffee and taking a sip after blowing it a little.
"I think so. Just need to go and get a dress." I replied.
"Would you like me to come with you?"
"No, thank you, honey. Claire has insisted." I rolled my eyes, making him chuckle.
"Okay darling. I have to be going in a minute, work wants me in. I just thought I'd stop by and make sure you were doing okay." Daniel rested his hand on my inner thigh, making my skin tingle under his touch. It'd been four years and he still knew exactly how to tease me...
He smirked, knowing what he had done.

After finishing the coffee, I lead Daniel to the door to see him off.
"I'll see you on Saturday. I love you." He smiled, kissing my lips gently.
"Alright. I love you too."
I closed the door, sat back down on the sofa and sighed deeply, looking around the room at all of my artwork in their cases.
"It's going to be a long day tomorrow..."
