The week continued like this with us taking the opportunity after every one to be together. Blake was living out of a suitcase and although not ideal I didn’t know what other options there were. Still, it wasn’t anything I wanted to complain about because it was so easy to connect and spend time together. We’d even spent quite a bit of time with my apartment family which was exciting to me because they all seemed to embrace Blake. All of them at one point or another told me how much they approved of him and how he was the one. I knew at some point probably sooner than later that part of the conversation was going to come up with Blake. I wasn’t quite ready for it so I did my very best to avoid it and I was lucky that so far Blake hadn’t pushed the subject just continued with some subtle hints such as sending me a few listings of homes via e-mail. He never brought up to talk about it but just said in his e-mail that he just wanted my opinion. On Wednesday
Blake looked over at me with a menacing grin. “Kate, I was hoping to discuss something important with you first thing this morning. What luck that you are in the elevator. Could we please meet in your office right away? “ “Of course, I will always make time for my CEO,” I smirked back at him already imagining him inside me causing my body to flush. “Wonderful.” I knew it was all part of the game and I was rather enjoying myself so I was sure to be the first one out of the elevator so he could stare at my butt he followed behind with a large smile as he was met with employees as we walked and answered questions. I looked back and made sure he saw me biting my lip and I swear his pace increased instantly. I greeted Monique and told her that Blake had requested to meet with me right away so please do not disturb us. She happily agreed as she greeted Rosco and me and handed me a few messages to go over. I went into my office a
I ducked out early after having Monique schedule an appointment with the stylist on the lower floor complete with makeup and hair. I couldn’t help spoil myself a little because I didn’t do much and truly wanted to look my best tonight because it was our official first date. Well, since I said I was “All in”. Blake gave me till 6 pm so I had roughly about 3 hours to pick a dress, get ready, and get my makeup and hair. I was happy it was the same stylist and they went to work right away. I selected a black dress because it was of course a little black dress always made a woman feel good. It was form-fitting and went right above my knee up. The top had shoulder straps with cuts out around the shoulders and right around the front where my cleavage was another cutout. The sleeves went down to the elbow and then flared out into a lengthy ruffle. I selected high-heeled strappy sandals and knew my stylist would take care of the rest for accessories. I was happy with my outfit and went righ
We got off the boat and made our way back to the car. “Where are we going now?” I checked the time and it was around 9:00 PM. “Kate I want to surprise you.” Blake smiled and kissed my cheek. “Okay then.” I smiled and looked out at the city pondering my fears and why I couldn’t just tell Blake what I felt but it was a bit difficult. Blake leaned in and looked out the same window as me leaning his head on my shoulder, “So what are we looking at?” “Just admiring the city.” I snickered. “Goofball.” “Goofball?” He gave me a quick tickle in my ribs and made me laugh harder. “Okay, I surrender.” Putting my hands up. “Careful I will take that surrender as a lot more.” He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me locking me into an almost high school make-out session. Blake slowly started making his hand up my dress and I wasn’t doing a very good job of stopping him.
I was in complete shock and unsure of what to say. Blake had just said those three little words that most women would swoon about Blake Sutton saying to them and instead I looked at him in horror and pushed him away. I started getting my clothes on and talking quickly about nothing. First I started talking about the plants then the beautiful glass lily pads and then at one point I stuffed a strawberry in my mouth then started to try and clean them up. Blake slowly watched me the whole time I’m sure wondering what the hell was wrong with me and I couldn’t blame him I didn’t even know what was wrong with me. I knew from the corner of his eye he started putting his clothes on and I stood up struggling to get my dress zipped back up. “I just can’t seem to get this dress zipped back up. You know did we see all the rooms in this place? I’d like to go see all the rooms. I’ve never been here before and it is so beautiful. We should go see all the rooms.” I could feel a few t
I cried myself to sleep and felt just as awful as I’d felt the very first day Blake Sutton had come back into my life. I felt like in some ways I was reliving this pain only this time it had nothing to do with a one-night stand or him ditching me. It was all me. I’d let him slip through my fingers by holding in my real feelings. The way I felt I knew I’d held back the ultimate truth but now I felt like I’d ruined it forever and there was no turning back from my stupidity. I didn’t like who I was and I didn’t want this feeling in me. I fell asleep alone with my inner problems and woke up with the same inner problems. When I woke up I checked my phone and was surprised to see I had a few text messages that I surfed through as I ate my guilty cereal because nothing felt better than shoving my face full of food at that moment. One was from Monique with a quick question about a meeting to schedule for next week. Another from Susan and Mel in a combined te
I pushed myself into work throughout the night Friday night after I got myself back to my storage room home. I had to admit I didn’t like it as much anymore since I’d been staying with Kate for the last week. I didn’t want to admit but I still even though I was angry and frustrated wanted to be there in Kate’s small studio apartment. I missed the warmth of the place and the feel of home it brought. I missed Rosco slobbering all over my leg everywhere I walked and I missed her. Part of me knew I might be overacting but I wanted Kate to open up to me and let me in. I had no idea how to not spook her anymore and I felt like I was walking on eggshells every day scared to tell her how I felt. The worst part is she didn’t realize my saying I love you was the least of what I wanted from her. I wanted it all for the first time in my life I wanted that woman to be all mine, forever. I regretted some of the things I’d said and that I’d yelled at her because I didn’t want to
I showered and got myself a bit refreshed and then went downstairs to see Mrs. Flora for some dinner. I was surprised to see that Russ was there with her and felt a bit humiliated after I thought about everything Russ had seen I truly felt embarrassed. Russ on the other hand didn’t miss a beat. “Hello, Miss Kate! It’s so good to see you! Where is my friend Rosco?” “He is outside in the garden at the moment. I can go get him if you want.” “Oh, I’ll go get him in a bit, right now please come and sit. I’ve already had one enchilada and plan on having many more. Please eat them with me, Miss Kate.” I stepped over but could feel tears welling up because I know I needed to say something to him, “Russ I’m so sorry for my behavior in the last few weeks and last night especially. I hope I didn’t ruin any plans for you last night.” I looked over at Mrs. Flora hoping he understood what I meant. Russ stood up, “Pl
