The rest of the week flew by with Mrs. Flora and Tiffany mainly taking up my time. It was amazing how fast Tiffany was working and our Master Bedroom was practically complete with maybe a few touches here and there. When I complimented her on how fast she was working she only shrugged and said this is what is expected if you work with Blake Sutton. I had to agree with that as Blake moved quickly. He spent much of his time now in our Master Bedroom in the afternoon with me doing what work he allowed me to do lying in bed on my laptop. We spent our evenings many times with Mrs. Flora and Russ having dinner and it stopped feeling like Russ ever worked for Blake just more friends. Laura’s hospital stay was extended another week as her wrist fracture developed an infection but she was more upbeat than I’d heard in a while. The biggest news on that front was that Jason had stopped over in the middle of the week looked at the other apartment and said he was moving in. Bla
Blake and I hugged and kissed for quite some time engulfed in what kind of commitment we just made to each other. To be honest I couldn’t be more ecstatic when Blake grabbed my hand and said we needed to go see everyone for our dinner plans. I knew he had thought of everything as he walked me through our spacious outside area and onto one of our terracotta patios streamed with lights above and now placed was a large table with all of our friends and family including Blake’s parents and also Laura! I thought she had been extended a week and I ran over to her instantly giving her a giant hug as everyone stood up and clapped and yelled congratulations. “I thought you were in the hospital for another week.” “Eh, I couldn’t help but surprise you!” She laughed and we hugged again. “Kate I’m so happy for you and thank you for showing me what happiness really could be. I have one more surprise for you.” “What is that? Are you alright?” I cou
It started so innocently. My phone beeped while I was up in my room preparing for finals and completing the last of our final project for marketing as I had imagined everyone was doing that night. I figured it was someone from my study group as that was my only group project left due for finals. “Hey, it is me, Blake. I’m struggling with my project could you meet me in a half hour at the College Café?” I looked at all my work still to complete and decided it could not hurt to take a small break plus it was about our final. I was also the designated leader of this last final and had to make sure everyone completed their work. “Yes, see you in a few.” I look down at my baggy shirt and sweatpants and decide that may not be the best choice to go out in public in. I quickly threw off my relaxing clothes leaving myself in nothing but my white lace lingerie. I do not know why when I opened my closet, I pick the clothes I did but I picked a gree
Did he always smile constantly and when do I get used to it? I could only smile and nod feeling myself just staring at that incredibly beautiful mouth of his, I want to taste it so bad. “Okay just wait for me to come around and get that door open missy” He smiled and winked. Oh good god, I am doing this, no turning back now. He quickly ran over to my side of the door and opened and closed it. He grabbed my hand to encourage me to race over to the gated apartment where as quick as he could he put in the code. I should have told him there was no point. It was still down pouring and we were already drenched. He pulled me towards his apartment on the 2nd floor with outside access. I caught myself looking up, damn there is no overhang to avoid the rain in this place. He let go of my hand and fumbled for the key. He put the key in and then looked over at me. His face started becoming serious and he looked at me as though I was a steak dinner. I caught myself stumbling back to which he quickl
“BZZZZZ! BZZZZZZ!” Stupid Alarm! I glance reluctantly at the alarm clock to see the time, 5:00 am. Just another day. I quickly force my body out of the bed. I glance over at my sleep mate, his shiny grey hair glowing with the streetlights creeping in the window. Still snoring and flinching with his puppy dreams. I was so grateful for this sweet gruffly Pitbull, Rosco, of mine. He kept me from being lonely and had become the favorite of the small apartment building I lived in. Since he was still snoring away. I decided to let him sleep and quickly took the small trip quietly to my small bathroom, showering first and then starting thinking about the day. I poured myself out of my tank top and shorts I was wearing to sleep and stepped into the steamy hot water. Thanking the water for the feeling of relaxation I so needed before this day. I let the water pour over my fair pale skin and past every small freckle grateful I was not a complete redhead just the hint of freckles was all I needed
BBBBBBBBBEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPP!” What where you are going lady?” The taxi driver yelled, and I quickly looked in shock when I realize it was me! I wave my hand and race across the crosswalk and down the subway stairs, depositing my coin quickly, and rushing on to the train with a minute to spare! The train is quickly off, and I find a seat luckily away from most and run through my presentation in my mind. I have worked on this straight for the last month, feel confident with it and our plan to help the coffee chain grow and glad our presentation is not until after lunch. I cannot stop to wonder what Mr. Johnson wants to tell me before the big meeting with Blake Sutton at 9 am. My stomach does a butterfly flip just saying his name in my mind. I begin to drift off again thinking of the past and that damn marketing class. I wanted in since day one and was lucky to get into the highly regarded class as a sophomore. I quickly proved myself and the professor was impre
7:50 AM and I was walking in the door. I made it in before everyone else and looked down the hallway to Mr. Johnson’s office with the light glowing. I could not believe he was here anyways when I thought about it. Mr. Johnson was a great boss, very laid back, and rarely made it in himself before 9:00 AM. Mr. Johnson was very similar to a father to me and had seen my potential which I was forever grateful for and with him getting into his mid-50s and four of his five children graduating school and heading into college themselves I knew it was time for him to start considering me to be his partner. I’d saved every bit of my salary and spent time making wise investments so this moment could happen so quickly. This had been on me for a long time but when my parents died in a car accident right before I hit college, I was luckily able to save as much of their life insurance as possible and after the house sold, I put that away as well. I could do this, and Mr. Johnson wouldn’t want to turn
I could hear Mr. Johnson telling Blake “She will be fine, you’ll see she is one of the best I’ve ever known.” “Yes, I know that’s why I’m here.” I heard softly come out of Blake’s voice. “Just a moment, Mr. Johnson I will be right back.” Shit! He’s coming out I quickly started walking to my office. “Kate!” He yelled. “Wait, please!” I just kept walking faster. How did a door that was only 20 feet away seem like 100 feet away? Tears already starting to run down my cheeks! Just keep going and he won’t see until I felt that hand on my arm twirling me around. “Kate, please just talk to me.” Was he pleading? I couldn’t do it, I know he could see my damn tears at this moment. I couldn’t bring myself to look right into those eyes at this very moment. “Please remove your arm, Mr. Sutton.” I squelched out. “Kate, I know we had some things happen but I’m sure we can work through this” He almost sounded like he was plead
