ISABELLA
I had two problems: One, the neon pink cocktail umbrella stashed in my
weathered brown leather tote bag, a relic from my last tequila sunrise on
the beach, was laughably insufficient for the torrential downpour
brewing outside. And two, I was undeniably, unquestionably late for my
introductory meeting with my new boss.
The boss of the job I’d flown 6,337 miles just two days ago for.
The drizzle of New York City seemed a world away from the sundrenched days of Bora Bora. Now it was time to put the crystal-blue lagoon
waters, endless papaya, and island-hopping behind me. According to my
mother, I needed to “grow up” and “start my real life.”
At thirty-five years old, with a stamped passport thicker than my
resumé, I had to beg my baby brother for a job. Apparently, racking up
more miles than Phileas Fogg didn’t count for shit, and world travel alone
wasn’t enough to impress potential employers. Luckily, Dominic hadn’t
hesitated when he offered me the waitressing position at the club he
cofounded with his best friend, Liam.
And, no, I would not dwell on the fact that my own brother got me a job
at a sex club. Nope, I preferred to consider it more Liam’s business. I rolled
my eyes at the thought of my quiet, elusive brother—the sibling who
always seemed to have it together—going off to UCLA and coming back
with a best friend and a business idea. Dominic, whose new business was
taking off like hotcakes, at least had direction.
The black town car pulled up—thank you, rich Mom and Dad—and I
scurried out from underneath the awning of my parents’ building in
Gramercy Park, making a beeline for the passenger door. The storm clouds
hung around me like a foul smell—or was that just New York? They wanted
to engulf me, to snatch me up and remind me of how little progress I’d
made in life. I told them no.
The sounds of the city, and my depressing thoughts, were cut off as I
settled into the soft black leather seat and shook off the rain that had pelted
my skin. I shivered as the cool breeze from the air-conditioned car hit me,
and I tilted the vents away. My dress already had dark spots of rain staining
it, the tight material stretching over my skin. I wasn’t made for depressing
weather like this.
Isabella, or Izzy, as my friends called me, thrived in the sun. My
favorite temperature was “hot car.” You know, the suffocating heat you feel
when you first slide into a car after it’s been trapped in the sun all day? The
kind that takes your breath away and cooks you from the inside out. The
kind of temperature they warn you about not leaving puppies or babies
inside cars for too long. Yeah, that one.
