Breaking His Code – VH Nicolson

Are you sure you have? I know I have, and I had confirmation of that a few weeks ago. Yeah, how so? I met someone, and we had this crazy instant connection I can’t even begin to describe. But it didn’t work out. I guess it wasn’t meant to be as I lost her number. I hope you don’t mind me telling you that.

It was different and kind of threw me a little. It’s weird but the way we’ve hit it off feels similar. I like how easy it is to talk to you. It never felt like that with my ex. I don’t mind at all. I appreciate your honesty. And it’s the same for me, I feel like we’ve had an instant connection from the beginning too. Tell me about your ex. You said he betrayed you but didn’t cheat on you.

What did he do exactly? He stole my idea at work and claimed it as his own during a client presentation. That’s low. And he went on to make lots of money from it too. Did you ever think about taking him to court? You’d have proof on your computer; digital data is king and would have given you solid evidence to back your claim.

I didn’t have the money at the time to do it. I guess I was a bit like you back then: young, naive, and wet behind the ears. It took me some time to learn my way around the industry I work in. Now I don’t take any shit from anyone. The last I heard from my ex was when he reached out to me, asking for my help on a project because he couldn’t fulfill it.

You see, I’m better than him at what I do. I said no, of course, then I approached the client myself and secured the contract for the company I work for.

The snap-click of overhead compartments and the soft hum of conversation fill the aircraft’s cabin as some passengers laugh and joke with the flight attendants, who warmly welcome them aboard. As one of the first passengers on board, I’m checking my email, something I haven’t done in the past two days while attending a law conference in Los Angeles. When I see an email from Harrison Langley, I open it immediately, expecting it to be important and urgent, as it always is.

I read the email once, then twice, almost laughing out loud. In his late eighties, he’s one of my most prestigious clients, but when they say money can’t buy love, Harrison is living proof of that. About to marry his seventh wife, he needs me, his estate lawyer, to amend his will yet again. Without even a hint of a relationship, let alone a wife, my eighty-seven- year-old client is probably getting more action than I am.

Fuck, that’s depressing. Instant annoyance racks my body, making me run my fingers through my hair. After months of trying several dating apps, I’m still no closer to finding the one, and I haven’t had sex since I split with my ex almost three years ago. I swear I’ve forgotten how to fuck. My brothers might think I’m getting lots of action on every date I go on, but the truth is, I’m not.

I can’t bring myself to have sex with anyone because I’m looking for something more. I want someone I can connect with on a deeper level and someone I can trust. Something I am struggling terribly with. I tap my fingers on my laptop keyboard and quickly reply to Harrison, saying my secretary will contact him to set up a meeting for my return to the office next week. Then I shut down my email, turn off my laptop, and pack it back into my carry-on, pushing all thoughts of my love life, or lack thereof, aside.

But that doesn’t last for long when I receive a text from Libby. LIBBY I have something to tell you… ME Good or bad? LIBBY It’s great! ME Work or personal?
