Troy

I'm not stupid.

I can tell by her voice that she was clearly in the middle of something intimate when she answered. Which leaves me wondering, why did she answer my call? I can't hear any shuffling sounds or anything else from the other end of the line, so I imagine she's alone, almost definitely touching herself or using a toy. The thought makes me hard, and I find myself wishing I was there to help relieve her hunger.

“Why did you call, Troy?” She deftly sidesteps my dirty-minded comment, and I can’t help but be amused.

“You asked me to call so we could discuss the ideas you had for my office.” Did she forget she’d sent me a text about what she’d already sketched up?

I hear her shift in place, as if she's sitting up. “That's right. I did. I apologize.” The way the apology flows from her lips has me surprised. There's something so refreshing about how she owns that she made a mistake and immediately takes responsibility. Most people that I know in that situation would get defens

    “Do you always just walk up and start flirting with random girls?”He seems to cringe a little bit at my words. “You are most certainly not a girl, but a full-grown woman, and I prefer that.”The slight correction manages to rub me right and wrong all at once. “No need to be politically correct. We're just two people having a conversation. I do appreciate that you have a mature stance on that though.”He offers a playboy smile as the sunshine highlights the blue tones in his black hair. “That is fair. It's a bit heavy of a topic for our first conversation. What do you say we grab a meal and have a second conversation that's a bit more in depth?”He's so smooth it takes half a second for it to register that he just asked me on a date. “You seem like a really nice guy, but I don't think you're my type.”He inhales a deep breath through his teeth as if the rejection stings. “Well, I appreciate you being completely upfront and honest so that I don't have to spend the next three weeks wond

    BellaI'm not really sure why I told Troy that I wanted to meet him tomorrow.Sure, it gives me a day off in between talking to him on the phone to really finalize my ideas and thoughts to make sure they all resonate within me. But I'm also excited to share my ideas with him and see what he thinks.I step into a patch of sunshine on the sidewalk as an owner with a beautiful golden retriever walks by. The woman gives me a friendly smile and I smile back before talking to her. “Beautiful dog. What's his name?”She gives a gentle tug of his leash and he stops walking, planting his fuzzy bottom on the ground and staring up at me with a smile while his tongue hangs out of one side of his mouth.“Her name is Goldie. I know, it's not original.” From the way she says the words, I imagine she has to defend her choice very often to strangers.“I think Goldie is a beautiful name for a golden retriever.” I glance down at the dog. “Hi, Goldie!” Her tail starts thumping on the sidewalk and her owne

    “Okay, great.” Even though her words are positive, her tone has a slightly negative note, and I wonder if she was hoping that I would order her around and push for us to meet sooner. One thing she needs to learn about me is that once a boundary is put in place, I'm not going to push it unless I know it's a lie. Her telling me she doesn't want me is not true. I'll push that boundary until I can prove it to her. But if she's not willing to meet until a certain time, date, or at a certain place, I'm not going to push that boundary.The fun part of a game of cat and mouse like this is being the cat, anticipating the next move, surprising the mouse, and pouncing when she knows it’s coming but is powerless to stop me - because she doesn't wish to stop me.“I will see you then. In the meantime, if something comes up, don't hesitate to text, call, or drop by.” Again, I reiterate that she is welcome to come here anytime because I want her to know that that door is truly open and that offer sta

    I've already made several substantial changes that I think he will absolutely love. I'm still considering how to change up the lighting and what kind of furniture to have in the space based on what he already has. He spends quite a bit of time working in there and perhaps some time entertaining clients as well.I'm not quite sure what his job actually is. I'm not about to pry because it doesn't matter. What matters is that I know how he utilizes the space and how to best cater to that utilization.I've already picked out the color palette and know what kind of changes I'm going to make as far as color, tone, and even most of the layout. I've already ordered several pieces of furniture and a big area rug that I think he’ll like. Given his penchant for white, bright light and airy, his job is a breeze because his taste matches mine.I've already tentatively picked out a very high-end lighting fixture that will be the centerpiece of the room. Now I'm just considering if I want to run LED

    Bella'Did Lyla ever tell you why we divorced?'It's been a week since we had that conversation, and I haven't been able to get his words out of my head. The fact that he challenged everything I thought I knew about my best friend has me worried that maybe she hasn't been completely honest with me because it doesn't make sense. She told me that he's the one that initiated the divorce, but she didn't tell me he pays alimony, and she certainly never explained why she didn’t get half of everything.And now, while I'm talking to her on the phone, I'm trying to think of a diplomatic way to bring things up that won't make her suspicious. “Did I tell you that Troy hired me to remodel his office?”I hear her sharp intake of breath on the other end of the line. “You didn't. You turned him down, right?” There's a hopeful note in her voice that has me wondering why she'd want me to turn down a well-paying job.“I kind of needed the money, so I took it on.” That's not completely true, but I absol
