The sun comes up and shines through my window, forcing me to roll over and wake up. It's 6 a.m. and I technically don't have to be awake and out the door till 8, so I try to go back to sleep. Tossing and turning, I find that there is an annoying mosquito buzzing my head and I can't no matter what I do.
Getting up, I take a nice long shower and then blow dry my hair. I look in the mirror and think to myself, I wonder what they will be having me do today? Surely, I will have to learn the ropes and figure out what their expectations are. For the remainder of the morning, I get dressed and eat breakfast.
I discover the long commute is a killer, when my legs cramp up just outside the city limits. Why did the job have to be so far away from home? I ask myself and when I reach my destination, drive up the parking ramp to the garage.
There are so many cars here and not very many spaces, so I end up h
Going to the doctor's was painful, but a breeze and then my meeting with Rick for lunch went over well. When I arrived at the office, it was another story. Theresa was home sick and everything had been piled on my desk by the substitute."What a mess." I mutter and run a hand through my hair.Looking around, I notice someone has been messing around in my office. My sofa, which is always right against the wall, is out about two feet and everything else on my desk is moved. On closer inspection, I see a stain that looks awfully like red wine on one of the tan cushions.Suspicious, I check everything else in the room and when I lift the trash can, I find a used condom under it. "What the hell?" I am thoroughly pissed, but Theresa isn't here so I can't find out who has been in my office.Disgusted, I take a pen off the desk and pick it up, placing it in the trash. I call in the subs
Getting dressed after my shower, I look through the fridge and find a lonely strawberry yogurt. Taking it, I sit down at the table and read the newspaper. As I sift through the news articles, I find one particularly interesting. It seems that the CEO has gotten himself in a bit of trouble with the law.I look at the date on the newspaper and realize that it's several days old, finding myself wondering what happened. "Interesting." I say out loud and check my watch.After cleaning up the table, I return to the bathroom and brush my teeth.Once I wipe my face, I apply makeup and braid my hair. Staring at my reflection in the mirror, I feel pleased. The dark red lipstick brings out my eyes and pulls my outfit together.Modelng in front of the full length mirror, I admire my taste. I decided on wearing a royal blue pant suit today and dark red shoes to match my lipstick. Twirling arou
It's Tuesday and I already wish that it's Friday. I can tell that this week is going to be a bad one, when as soon as I step a foot in my office Theresa runs in and tells me that I have an emergency meeting with Jake. I sigh, putting down my briefcase and make my way to his office. "What's up Jake?" I pop my head in after knocking. He looks up at me from a phone call, "Come in and take a seat. I will be with you in a second." After he hangs up, he scratches his head and breathes deeply in. "Jake, you are being charged with sexual harassment. That little thing you played with yesterday, just got a lawyer and went to the cops. They did DNA samples and because of your recent run in with the cops, they matched it up. I sink in my chair and put my head in my hands. "I knew something was up, when she wouldn't clean up afterwards. Do you think it was a setup?" He changes positions in h
Waking up Wednesday morning before the alarm goes off, I take a little longer in the shower and getting dressed than I usually do. First, the shower is especially warm and inviting. I even use my pumpkin spice shower gel that I love so much. Then, when I get out, I go through my new wardrobe that Shannon bought me on my birthday and try on several things.One thing in particular stands out and makes me feel good about myself. A very tasteful looking red dress, with just a small slit that goes up to my thigh. The neckline isn't low at all, but the dress hugs my curves in all the right ways. Anyone who looks at me, might think I am a top executive in this dress.Making this my choice for the day, I choose a pair of black leather high heels to complete the ensemble. Fluffy comes running in and watches me model for the mirror, wagging her tail. "Oh, do you approve Fluffy?"She barks and tries to jump on me.
I get to the office ahead of schedule and wait for my associates phone call. I pick up when it vibrates and listen carefully, "They were in on it together. Last night, I decided to go over to Mr. Lemon's house and I watched as the two of them talked, then fucked. I had a listening device implanted in his house and recorded everything. Between the recording and the information I have collected, we have them. There isn't anyone who would side with them."Practically jumping up and down, I restrain myself and sit down. "You are wonderful. Thank you so much. Just drop by the office later and I will pay you. Thank you again and I really appreciate it." I hang up and call Jake."It's done. We have everything we need. He will drop by the office later today and give me the recordings and paperwork, then we can proceed as planned." I say happily."Good. That's what I like to hear. L
It's Thursday, yay! Just one more day and I will have completed a full work week without getting fired. Amazed with myself, I get ready for work and pick out a suitable outfit. My emerald green skirt and tan silk blouse look beautiful together and feel deliciously wonderful. Loving it when clothes fit so well and the touch of the fabric on your skin makes you smile, I can't stop grinning from ear to ear. Once again modeling in front of the mirror, I twirl around and feel good about my choice. Maybe, Janet is wearing off on me and I am gaining a sense of fashion. I had noticed several people staring at me yesterday and admiring my dress. Fluffy runs in the bedroom and tries to jump on me again. I laugh, "Not now girl, you have to learn to stay down." Each outfit cost more than I paid for my entire closet of clothes I used to wear. Of course, they were from the second hand store and several of them wer
Strolling into work, I feel on top of the world. Nothing can make my day bad, not even Jake. Today, my plan is to find out who the mystery woman is and make her mine, tie up loose ends with the whole Jenna thing and then find out who the fuck the person calling me is.I start out by opening my laptop and looking up the new hires. There are a couple names I don't recognize and call Theresa into the office. She walks in and smiles, "Anything I can help you with?""Yes, actually I am wondering something. There are a few people here that I haven't met yet and I wondered if you have met any of the women on this list? I like to make sure that I meet everyone in the company at least once. Just to make an appearance and let them know if they have any problems that they can come to me."She leans over the desk and looks at the names. "There are one or two I haven't met, but most of them I have at least bee
I sit at my desk wondering what the hell just happened. Part of me wants to pack up my things and run as far away from him as I can. The other part needs to find out more. Trying desperately to figure out which way I should go, I think on it.When he came in just now, the first thing that I thought was, I hope he's here to finish what he started. That should not have been my first concern. It should have been, how do I proceed without getting fired? Then I'm incapable of stopping him when he demands that I go out to dinner with him, fully knowing what will happen afterwards.My fight or flight response kicks in and all I want to do is get away, like a rabbit running from the predator. Looking around, I see my things and get up to grab them and leave. Before I reach the door, Janet comes in and looks shocked."What's wrong? You look like you saw a ghost or something."It takes me a min
"Daddy, daddy, look!" We both turn to look at what Daniel and Daniella are yelling about. Miah sitting on the sand turns around and watches as the twins run around with a crab. It has been three years and the kids have gotten so big. The twins are 2 and Miah is 5. Being such a big sister, she always watches out for them and helps with everything. Samantha and Chris got married three months after we did and have a beautiful little girl Christina. Ironically, she looks just like Darren. Janet and Casper ended up getting engaged, but Janet got bored with him soon after and moved on. Theresa quit when she found out Jake was screwing the secretary on the fourth floor, shortly after Darren came back to work. Then one night almost a year ago, Jake was driving in a storm, when he took a corner too fast in his Maserati and ended up slamming into a semi going 150. He had to have a close
"Hey Baby, where's my tux? The rehearsal is in an hour? I have looked all over and can't find it."Smiling, I answer. "Don't you remember? It's in the back of the car already, along with my wedding gown and Miah's dress.It's Saturday, the morning of the wedding and everything has fallen in place. Ben and Kathy talked to the Minister and made sure that it is all absolutely perfect. Samantha and Chris are in town, staying at the hotel. They are going to meet us at the rehearsal and Darren's mom Elizabeth and his sister Shana are already in town too, staying next door to Samantha and Chris.Yes, I feel bad for them, because I know damn well that Samantha and Chris made a lot of noise all night. She really wanted to have a double wedding with us, but Darren was firm on the fact that he wanted all eyes on me only today. Excited, I'm practically jumping out of my skin.I am sure glad that we did
On Thursday morning, we wake up as usual with two exceptions. Instead of driving to work, Lauryn does and I watch Miah. Now the only time we need the babysitter is when we want to be alone, at least until I find another corporate position. I hear the phone ring, taking it out of my pocket I see that it's from Mr. Reynolds. "It's all taken care of. You are officially the sole parents of Miah and you will never hear from Jaiden again. Apparently they found her body hanging from the jail cell. I was told that she supposedly hung herself with her bed sheet." Standing up and pacing, I ask, "Did you file a lawsuit with the Chronicle?" "Yes and as soon as I did, their lawyers offered up a settlement. Will you take a formal apology on the front page of the newspaper and twenty million dollars for compensation? I told them I would have to talk it over with you, but figured the sum was too low considering you lost a multi
Janet told me all about Darren resigning. I just wish I had heard it from him first. What happened? I know that he was on the front page of the newspaper and somehow Jaiden set it up, but why did he have to leave?Struggling through the rest of the day, I wait till it's time to go home. Looking at the clock, I see that it's 2 minutes to 5 and I start packing up my things. I hear a knock at the door and thinking it's Darren, rush over to it. Unfortunately, it's Jake with a big shitty ass grin on his face."So, do you need a ride home? I assume you heard the news." Staring at me, he sits down in the chair by my desk. Patting my chair and motioning for me to sit down, I walk over to it and take a seat.Sighing, I listen as he tells me all about it. "Lauryn, I can't believe he did this to you. He has made your relationship a scandal, even though it's not true. How could he drag you into th
It's Wednesday. Waking up to my beautiful fiance, I smile and kiss her good morning. Last night was a hit and I am so glad she enjoyed it. We needed some romance in our relationship after everything that has been going on.Getting up and going downstairs to work out, I notice that strangely no one is here again, so I quickly do my routines. Getting back upstairs in record time, I find her waiting on the couch for me so we can take a shower together."Baby, let's go get a shower, I have something I want to give you." Looking down at my erection, she smiles and nods.I take her hand and lead her into the shower. Grabbing a bottle of body wash and turning on the shower, I pour the liquid on her shoulders and watch it slip down her voluptuous body. Soaping her up, she stares at me with lust in her eyes. I feel her hands grab my balls and pull me to her.Leaning down, I cup a breast in each hand and s
Walking in the door, Darren yells out. "Where is Karen?" He runs around the apartment looking for her. Hearing her name, she comes out of the kitchen looking startled, because she had been making popcorn before they came in.Looking up at him, she asks. "What's going on?"Relieved, Darren calms down and I wonder why he is so jumpy in the first place. Did he get a note too or did he find out something he isn't telling me? Deciding to let it go for now, I thank Karen and send her home after paying her.Letting my hair down, I relax and go make sure Miah is tucked in. Carefully opening the door, I peek in and watch her sleep peacefully. Smiling, I close her door and go to the bedroom where Darren is.Sitting on the bed, he stares at me as I come in the door. The look on his face is one of a man who needs to de-stress. Stripping, I stand in front of him and run my hands down my side
Tuesday morning rolls around and when I wake up I feel a little off. Not being able to put my finger on it, I get up to do my workout. Lauryn is sound asleep, so I wait a few minutes to wake her up. Instead, I go to the bathroom and get my workout clothes on first.Once I'm ready to go downstairs, I wake her up with a kiss. When her eyes open and she smiles, I start to feel better. She reaches up and pulls me down on her, hugging me and kissing me. "Good Morning, my wonderful husband." She smiles and continues, "Just thought I would try that one on for size."Loving the way that sounds coming from her lips, I kiss her again and then go down to complete my workout. Working up a sweat, I grab a towel and move to the next machine, but when I sit down I watch as Celeste walks in. Great, that's all I need right now.She walks over to me just as soon as she spots me and purrs my name. "Darren, who
After chasing around Miah all day Sunday, I finally got a decent amount of sleep. However, waking up this morning for work, I feel like I didn't sleep at all and it's only Monday. I wonder just how much paperwork will be waiting for me on my desk when I get in.At least yesterday we brought my car back here, so I wouldn't have to rely on Darren to get me everywhere and we hired a babysitter for Miah to start this morning. Opening the door to her room, I watch her sleep peacefully and wait for Darren to get back from doing his workout. When I hear him open the front door, I shut hers carefully as to not wake her and go find Darren.Finding him in the bathroom, I join him in the shower. The steam feels so good on my neck and back especially when he comes up behind me and picks me up. When he places my back against the wall, I wrap my legs around his waist and he kisses me with urgency.Feeling his erection poking me in the
Driving back to the city, we decide how to proceed with everything. Letting Lauryn do the talking, I sit back and drive while she calls Jaiden and informs her that we will be meeting her a bit later than initially decided. Of course, she isn't happy, but eventually agrees. Feeling confident that everything will work out, I look over at Lauryn and smile.Her face is lit up by the sun and she looks absolutely radiant. How lucky am I to have a woman who is willing to take in another child that isn't her own and love her? I thought for sure I was going to have to let Miah go. She glances at me and returns a beautiful Lauryn smile. For a few minutes we sit quietly driving, then she asks me a question. "Why would you have given up your child for me? I thought she was your everything, what happened?" Mulling it over, I answer eventually, "Well, I realized that I wasn't willing to lose you over this. Yo
