My Boss, The Sperm Donor

And here I am... 31 years old and still single... Gemma was thinking about her life and what she had achieved so far. She had her dream job, made some good money, had a motorcycle, a nice house, but all this did not seem to matter anymore as the urge and longing to be a mother just got stronger. She had always told herself that when she turned 31 and was not married, or anything close to being married, that she would investigate the option of visiting a fertility clinic. That day has come... Gemma had an appointment later that afternoon to go and look at some options for sperm donations. Her best friend Nicky assured her that she would be by her side every step of the way. This was a very big decision for Gemma, and she knew that raising a child on her own wouldn't always be easy, but her life felt empty. There was a hole that only a baby could fill.  "Are you ready?" asked Nicky pulling Gemma from her deep thoughts while she browsed through a ma

As Gemma and Nicky got out of the elevator, everyone in the office seemed to be on high alert. As they passed the receptionist, she looked almost as if something was going to jump at her. She was fiddling with something on her table, but Gemma could see her mind was elsewhere. "You, ok?" Gemma asked the receptionist as she looked around. "They say Mr Thornton should be here any second and they say he is a ruthless man. Oh Gemma, I am really not looking forward to meeting him. We have all worked so well together and I am so happy in my job. What is he doesn’t like me or wants another receptionist? I can’t lose my job! " "Mr Thornton?" Nicky asked "The new CEO. He isn't here yet, but Security said he's parked his car already, so he should be coming up the elevator at any moment now." "Ah" Nicky replied and just shook her head. "Take a deep breath and relax. No one is losing their jobs. Just be yourself, and you have absolutely nothing to

As Gemma woke up the next morning, she didn't feel rested at all. Her neck felt stiff, and she tried to rub her neck while she sat up.  It was as if he was haunting her in her dreams. Gemma got out of bed and took a long, hot shower. As the water ran down her body, her mind drifted to that handsome face every now and again. She turned off the water and got out, drying her hair and doing her makeup carefully. It was as if she wanted to look her best for some reason and she took out one of her smart suits with a pink blouse. She felt good when she looked at herself in the mirror and her self-confidence was boosted.  Gemma went to wake up Skye so that she could start getting her ready for school.  "Morning, Mommy." Skye said through still very heavy eyes and half asleep.  "Morning, sweetheart, it's time to get up and get ready for school. I'll make you some pancakes before we go." "With smiley faces on?" Skye smiled and yawned at the

As Gemma woke up the next morning, Kyle was still fast asleep, and she slipped out of bed trying very hard not to wake him. Gemma needed some time to clear her mind and a hot shower, and a warm cup of coffee would do the trick. She showered quickly and went downstairs to start a pot of coffee. Her mind went back to last night and she smiled. She really liked Kyle, he was such a gentleman, and he knew his way around a woman's body. Gemma could feel herself blush a bit when she thought of how Kyle made her feel and the things, he did to her. And in-between, thoughts of Grant popped into her head... She felt very guilty thinking about Grant when she and Kyle had such an intimate night making love. She carried her coffee out onto the patio and sat down to watch the sun come up. Her mind started to drift back to Grant again. Even though Gemma had been laying in Kyle's arms last night, she couldn't help but think about Grant. She felt guilty but what could she do? The man was haun

It was Monday morning and Gemma's stomach was in a knot knowing that Grant would be back in the office today. She wasn't prepared for any questions that he might have. Gemma went through her usual morning routine with a heavy heart. She would have thought in her wildest dreams that she would face the man in the photo. She closed her eyes in the shower and tried to think of what she is going to say, how she is going to handle this… Gemma dressed in a soft pink blouse and black pants with high heels. She did her makeup carefully and looked at herself in the mirror. She was happy with what she saw and knew that she looked good. If her world was going to be turned upside down today, she wanted to look good while it happened!  The morning with Skye went by in a haze, she helped Skye dress and did her hair all at once. Her mind was all over the place. “Are you ok Mommy?” Skye asked looking at Gemma in the mirror as she tied her hair up. “Yes sweetie, m
