I can't say I'd ever felt this way in my entire life. I had gone through a great deal after discovering I had a biological family that had not had a good life and then to meet my biological mother only to lose her seemed at the time to be the most difficult thing I may ever go through, however, this experience with Kate now seemed more difficult because my entire heart ached to talk to her or for another chance and instead I could only watch her, watch her at work as she seemed to be in a robot-driven mode. I'd try to work out in my mind how I could get her to forgive me but it just didn't seem possible. Tuesday was utter hell because I had to watch as her team with her doing the presentation awed everyone with their first three proposed advertising campaigns. She had looked amazing and even though I could see some redness in her eyes that burned into my soul, nobody had noticed that there was anything different. Even when I'd asked questions during the presentation it was like s
I kept looking at the time all day trying to prepare myself for this evening. I knew a lot of things were about to happen to me.One Blake was sure to corner me on the drive there and try to figure out where we were at with things. That was likely to be the hardest part because the truth was even I wasn’t sure. Part of me understood where Blake was coming from and why he did what he did. I mean if you had anything you wanted at your convenience you occasionally wouldn’t check on someone you’d let get away? The other part of me was furious for several different reasons such as why on earth did he wait so long to reach out and why did it have to involve buying the company I was working at? The other big reason was it felt like he stalked me and I wasn’t sure if I was comfortable about it. Second Blake again was going to want to know if I wanted to make this work or not. That part was probably the hardest thing for me to answer. I wanted to be furious forever and had considered an option
We started walking in and I could feel myself panicking. I grabbed Blake’s arm so he would stop. “Wait, I don’t know your parents’ names, and who else will be there besides your sisters and Curtis?” He put his hand on mine which did lend me some comfort and I appreciated it, “Kate it is okay, I do know this is a big step for you. My parents’ names are Robert and Sara and I promise you they will be nice. Probably because you are the first woman I have ever brought home. The only other person that will be there is my brother Jason.” “Oh, I didn’t realize Jason would be there. That’s nice.”“After everything happened my parent’s guilt consumed them a great deal and especially when my biological mom passed away they took Jason in as their own in a lot of ways. Even helped him get to college, etc.” “Wow that’s amazing, okay let’s go.” Then it hit me, and I grabbed his arm again this time making him laugh. “Kate, I swear this is going to be alright.” “You have never brought any other wo
Everyone visited while eating their dessert and I saw Curtis look at his phone and say something to Susan and walk away. I saw my chance and asked Blake where the restroom was. He gave me directions and I gave him a wink hoping he would get what I was up to but either way it was an opportunity to see what Curtis was up to. I walked into the hallway and heard his voice. He was talking on the phone and I tried to make out where he was at. I turned a corner into the dining room and saw him. “Relax, I have this all figured out. I just need Susan to agree to move up with the wedding and we will be all set. I’m telling you this is better than the extra money I’ve been getting and then we just have to wait until I can complete the deal after our wedding and boom, baby you and me are set.” I was trying to figure out who he was talking to and leaned in a bit more making sure I heard every word. “Nope they aren’t saying a word and as long as push this up they won’t get a chance. They
We got in the car and I was smiling warmly at how kind Blake’s family was to me and I held the scarf warmly in my hands that I’d been given. Blake hopped in and his face didn’t look as happy. “What’s wrong?” “You put yourself at risk and that isn’t a good idea Kate not with someone like Curtis.” “Blake comes on I needed to do something and we found out some good information.” I recanted quickly everything I’d heard and watched as Blake let it sink in. He still didn’t respond to me after I finished so I nudged him nicely. “Hey come on this is good. So do you know somebody who could discreetly look into Curtis’s work at the hospital without anyone knowing? Also made we could get him followed or something to figure out who was on the phone with him.” “I still don’t like the fact he touched you and at some point, he is going to have to deal with me.” Blake clenched his fist. I rested my hand on his leg. “Blake you need to relax a
I was denied a sleepover and reminded again that Blake wanted to make sure I was completely in before we could go any further with our sexual encounters. I couldn’t lie I was desperate in my mind to feel him inside my body and continuously imagined the feeling I had over 7 years ago when he’d allowed a different situation to occur. I was trying to get ready this morning and I kept getting distracted by the image of his naked body on top of me with his throbbing penis pumping inside me. I had gone too far in my sleep last night and woke up with very wet panties so I needed to get it together. Still, I struggled because I didn’t have a reason I was stopping myself from telling Blake I was in. I couldn’t even understand why I didn’t just lie and say I was all in so that we could finally just have SEX. That was the part I was truly struggling with because I didn’t want to lie and wanted to be all in but there were things I needed to get over and I wasn’t quite sure how I was g
Blake was busy and so was I all morning. I had hoped to meet up for possibly lunch or something but it hadn’t come up. What I was partly busy doing was reading Blake’s folder from Russ it included pictures of his family, his picture with his dad in boy scouts, his high school sports career, everything you could imagine. Blake wasn’t perfect that was for sure because it even had a ticket for criminal mischief with some minor details of stealing a “Reindeer Crossing Sign” from a neighbor. Then showed how he’d made it up to the neighbor by not just returning the sign but also scooping his driveway by hand up until he graduated high school. Blake had graduated high school with honors and it seemed had plenty of scholarships to get him through college. It was likely his family didn’t even have to help him that much which was even more impressive because most would have taken advantage of that. There was even a section devoted to girlfriends which I could tell Russ had paid atte
I entered the meeting and was surrounded by about 20 other Managers with Blake at the head of the table and his assistant at the other end. I thought it was great he did this for her because really it was her job to record all the details and knew Blake well enough to know the things he wanted to hear. One by one each manager presented their challenges, their situations, their requests, etc. It was lengthy, to say the least, but a great opportunity to see what could be done to help everyone and Blake truly seemed to take an interest in each person even offering congratulations for one manager’s new baby, another’s son graduating high school and condolences to another for losing their grandmother. The more they went down the line the more attractive Blake became to me because he took an interest in each of his employees and you could tell it was appreciated and it seemed any of them would go the extra mile for Blake just because of who he was and how he showed his appreciation to each o
