When we are finished eating, we make our way back to the hotel, looking through all the different stores and Samantha buys a handful of things. Just before we arrive at the entrance, I look up to see that it's about to storm.
"I guess we will either have to stay in the rest of the afternoon or find somewhere that has everything inside. I don't want to get stuck out in a storm." Hurrying in the door, I almost run into a tall man in his fifties, who looks remarkably like a famous actor I admire. Double taking, I glance at him again just before he disappears outside.
"Hmm. That looked just like Rock Middleton. Did you see him?" I ask Samantha, but she is too busy staring at the hotty in front of us. He looks to be in his forties and has that domineering look about him, black hair and dark brown eyes.
I elbow her in the side and finally draw her attention away from him. "What?" She says so
I spend the rest of the weekend preparing for work and contacting several associates regarding the impending expansion. Before relaxing and taking a load off for a few minutes, I thank Ms. DiAngelo for cleaning up my mess from the weekend and I give her monday off. She thanks me in return graciously and then leaves me to my own devices.Searching on the laptop for information regarding work, I happen to see an article about the night life of the city. Clicking on it, I zoom in."It can't be." I scratch my head and zoom in further to see the face.I let out a sigh, "Holy shit, it is."With closer inspection, I almost fall out of my chair. Next to the woman that lent me her phone is the little Asian thing I played with last night. In the photo adjacent to it, it's obvious that they are together. How did I miss her? I know damn well that she wasn't anywhere near her. I would have noticed or ra
I wake up with a crook in my neck from sleeping on the couch and Fluffy is licking my face. Giving her a big hug, I get up and go to the bathroom. Returning to the living room, I hear my phone ringing. I search everywhere for it, but when I sit down on the couch I feel it underneath me.I look at the screen and it's flashing Samantha's profile. Answering, I wait a second and then say something. "What's up?"Silence on the other end, then I hear a crunching sound. A few more seconds pass by with more crunching and then she finally says something. "Sorry, was eating."I roll my eyes, "No, really?""So. Did you see our pics all over the internet?""What do you mean?"I hear her drinking something, "Well, check out The High Life website. We are on their front page, I shit you not.""Hold on, let me look it up on my phone." I get onto the search
On thursday after several days of non stop harassment from Jake, I finally decide to take things into my own hands. Walking into his office, I scan the room for him and all I see is his computer open and turned on. I wonder where he is, so I sit down patiently waiting for him. Fifteen minutes rolls by and he is nowhere to be found.Eileen walks in and notifies me that Jake won't be able to make it to the meeting. It turns out that he got held up in traffic downtown and won't be back for who knows how long. I get up and walk out, but just as I'm about to get in the elevator, he calls my name."You do realize that I was sitting in the other room the whole time. I wanted to see how long you would wait for me, before you got up and left." He pats me on the back and motions for me to walk into his office.He really has no clue how many times I have wanted to beat the shit out of him, but didn't.
I have the sweetest dream I can ever remember dreaming. Waking up, I recall all of it crystal clear. It's strange, because I don't think I have ever had a dream that seemed so real. Just before I woke up, it ended. This is what I remember. Laying in bed, I turn over and a man is next to me. He sleeps soundly, so he doesn't hear me move towards him to kiss him and tell him that I love him. Feeling the warmth of his lips and smelling his scent all over, I am strangely comforted. It feels as if I know him very intimately and he belongs in my bed. I move again and he opens his eyes. I recognize those eyes. Gorgeous blue eyes that say I need you now. His face is masculine, yet soft and so kissable that I can't help myself. Running my fingers through his blonde hair, I feel the need to never leave his side. To be his forever. He says to me, "You're mine Lauryn. You
Spending the rest of the week at home, I do my best to relax and sleep. However, when someone like me is couped up for so long, I tend to go stir crazy. First, I try reading a book and taking it easy. After about an hour, I find myself wondering what kind of mess Jake is getting the Company into. I pick up the newspaper that Ms. DiAngelo left for me and I read the business section. Nothing seems out of place right away, so I sit back. Next, I browse the rest of the newspaper and in the crime section, I read about my accident. Thankful that they kept it mostly quiet, I was glad because it would have made our stocks plummet. Sometimes throwing money at the problem makes it go away. Other times, not so much. For instance, last year I had a meeting with the owner of Miagi International. It did not go over well when he got drunk and almost killed one of the strippers/callgirls. Apparentl
The sun comes up and shines through my window, forcing me to roll over and wake up. It's 6 a.m. and I technically don't have to be awake and out the door till 8, so I try to go back to sleep. Tossing and turning, I find that there is an annoying mosquito buzzing my head and I can't no matter what I do.Getting up, I take a nice long shower and then blow dry my hair. I look in the mirror and think to myself, I wonder what they will be having me do today? Surely, I will have to learn the ropes and figure out what their expectations are.For the remainder of the morning, I get dressed and eat breakfast.I discover the long commute is a killer, when my legs cramp up just outside the city limits. Why did the job have to be so far away from home? I ask myself and when I reach my destination, drive up the parking ramp to the garage.There are so many cars here and not very many spaces, so I end up h
Going to the doctor's was painful, but a breeze and then my meeting with Rick for lunch went over well. When I arrived at the office, it was another story. Theresa was home sick and everything had been piled on my desk by the substitute."What a mess." I mutter and run a hand through my hair.Looking around, I notice someone has been messing around in my office. My sofa, which is always right against the wall, is out about two feet and everything else on my desk is moved. On closer inspection, I see a stain that looks awfully like red wine on one of the tan cushions.Suspicious, I check everything else in the room and when I lift the trash can, I find a used condom under it. "What the hell?" I am thoroughly pissed, but Theresa isn't here so I can't find out who has been in my office.Disgusted, I take a pen off the desk and pick it up, placing it in the trash. I call in the subs
Getting dressed after my shower, I look through the fridge and find a lonely strawberry yogurt. Taking it, I sit down at the table and read the newspaper. As I sift through the news articles, I find one particularly interesting. It seems that the CEO has gotten himself in a bit of trouble with the law.I look at the date on the newspaper and realize that it's several days old, finding myself wondering what happened. "Interesting." I say out loud and check my watch.After cleaning up the table, I return to the bathroom and brush my teeth.Once I wipe my face, I apply makeup and braid my hair. Staring at my reflection in the mirror, I feel pleased. The dark red lipstick brings out my eyes and pulls my outfit together.Modelng in front of the full length mirror, I admire my taste. I decided on wearing a royal blue pant suit today and dark red shoes to match my lipstick. Twirling arou
