My Father's Best Friend Updating Bob
Andrew“Got everything you need, sir?” Robin poked her head into my office and gave me an inquisitive look.I glanced down at the papers scattered all over my desk. “Yes. Please hold my calls for the morning. I need to figure out what’s going on with the Bartlet account.”“Understood.” She closed the door behind her, leaving me to stew in my silence.Nathan Bartlet had left me a long message the day before. Some of his investments were not performing as they should. It would take a while to dig into the situation, but I needed something to get my mind off my personal life anyway, or so I hoped.“Ten years,” I muttered to myself. My sweet wife had been gone ten years, and there wasn’t a day that went by that I didn’t think about her. She would have been at Raven’s bedside at the hospital day and night if she were still around, her maternal instinct second to none.Standing, I rubbed my chest and walked toward the tall glass floor-to-ceiling windows that looked out on the city of Seattl
My Father's Best Friend Love Is Enough
Andrew“You did?” Bob dropped back down, his face growing pale. “Without asking for our blessing?”“I’m sorry. It happened so damn fast, and I got your blessing when we spoke about the two of us dating, but I know it’s different. Between all of the drama with Raven and work being so crazy lately, I fucked up. Forgive me, old friend.”He glanced down at his hands and back up to me. “You know I love you like a brother.”“I know. I feel the same about you.” I sat back down to keep our eye level even. “And I love Lanie, too.”“Why did you break up if you love her?” He put on a fatherly face. “Seems like neither of you knows what you want if you’re coming together only to break apart. It’s a bit confusing from mine and Janice’s perspective. I’m sure you understand.”“I do.” I shook my head, trying not to hold back from him. “I was confused. I still have a few worries that I can’t shake, but I want to start rebuilding my life with someone, and Lanie is that person. I’m not at all unsure of

Lanie“Pick up, pick up, pick up,” I mumbled into my cell phone as I searched for a parking place. It had been a few days since I’d seen Andrew, and it made me antsy. Something about a client file that he needed to spend some time with. “Better than a woman, I guess.”The voicemail picked up. “This is Andrew Marx. I’m unavailable right now. Leave a message with the pertinent information and I’ll call you back.” The beep filled my ear, causing me to jerk back.“It’s Lanie. I wanted to see if you were free. It’s Sunday around lunchtime. I just got to the Derek Gallery on Phantom street. I’d love for you to come over here with me.” I took a short breath, trying not to sigh. “Hope you’re doing great. Miss you.”I dropped the call and grumbled under my breath as I finally found a place to squeeze my car into. The gallery had people in a long line around the building. No way I was standing in the freezing cold, waiting to get inside.I loved art, and I loved Matt and Erica more, but me and

Lanie“Lanie.” Andrew shook his head. “Let’s not do this. I just put a ring on your finger.”“Answer my questions.” I gave him a look that could start fires in a fantasy world.“I’ve been swamped with trying to not only figure out what went wrong with the account, but in trying to woo this client not to leave. She’s got a sizable investment account with my firm. It’s not as easy as just putting her off.”“And she’s flirting with you?” I stiffened as Matt and Erica walked up.“Andrew. Good to meet you. I’m Matt Bryant.” Matt extended his hand. My friends stood beside me, as if offering an odd sort of support. It left me wondering if I needed their help. Were things going downhill? Sure as hell felt like it.“Nice to meet you too.” Andrew narrowed his eyes a little. “You’re not related to Kent Bryant, are you? You look a lot like him.”Matt chuckled. “He’s my father. I got more of my mom’s talents I guess.” Matt glanced around and smiled. “Damon is the accountant like my dad. I went a d
My Father's Best Friend Complications
AndrewA little later that afternoon, Thomas knocked on my office door and walked inside. “You wanted to see me, sir?” He was an up and coming advisor, and I had my eye on him for promotion in the next six months or so.“Come on in, Tom. Have a seat.” I stood and moved behind my chair, gripping it as the younger man walked over and sat down. “I have a project I need you to spend some time looking into, as well as the members of the group that are looking to own/control the project.”Tom pulled a small tablet out of his coat pocket and nodded. “Absolutely, sir. Give me the details, and I will get after looking into it.”“Robert Jacobs stopped by last week and told me that Kent Bryant was involved, as well as his son, Damon. They would be looking to provide the accounting part of the arrangement. I’m not sure who else is being considered for the team, but for the standard investment portion, they’ve invited Alex Reid, head of Reid Enterprises in New York. They’re asking us to consider s
My Father's Best Friend More Concern
Andrew“Boss?” Robin knocked and stuck her head in. “Don’t forget about your appointment in fifteen minutes. You need water or coffee?”“No, but I do need you to order flowers for someone for me.”Robin lifted her eyebrow as a smile moved across her face. “Not a problem. Is this for business or pleasure?”“Pleasure.” I pulled out my chair and sat down. “Send them to Lanie Jacobs. Should be an apartment complex. Red roses. Lots of them, and put on the card that I’ll see her tonight.”“And that she’s the best thing in your day?” Robin’s smile widened.I rolled my eyes and leaned back. “Sure. Why not?”She clapped her hands and turned, walking back out. “I’ll take care of it for you, Mr. Marx. Nothing to worry about.”I was rather impressed she hadn’t asked if I were dating. The ladies in my office had been taking care of me for ten years, urging me to get back out into the world of dating and find someone. They were nosy, pushy, and they cared.Maybe too much.*Meeting after meeting, a
My Father's Best Friend The Age Gap
Lanie“You really didn’t have to come here, you know? Your vacation is almost over. You should be enjoying your break.” Raven turned her head and gave me a look that said she was right.I chuckled. The kid wasn’t a kid anymore, but a young woman with a good head on her shoulders most of the time. Andrew had to be proud, or maybe he saw her as my father saw me. Young, inexperienced, immature.“I wanted to see you.” I glanced down at my hand, the big ring on my finger grabbing my attention immediately. A bittersweet feeling about the engagement had taken over my heart. I was grateful and excited but a bit apprehensive because of my conversation with Matt and Erica the weekend before. The worst part was that in some small way, they were right.It was rushed and maybe done for the wrong reasons on Andrew’s part, but we did love each other. That was enough surely.“Hey, did you hear me?” Raven reached out and cupped her hand over mine. “Where are you today? Not here.”I snorted. “When did
My Father's Best Friend She's a Woman
AndrewI paused just outside of the country club and shot Lanie a text that I wanted to see her. She didn’t respond right away, but she would. After tucking my phone into my pocket, I walked in looking for Saxton.The playboy extraordinaire sat at the bar, women on both sides of him. I moved up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder.“Andrew. Good to see you.” He offered me a warm smile and a hand to shake.“These beautiful women don’t know you’re married?” I shook his hand and smirked.The girls scattered like roaches when the lights came on.“Sorry.” I laughed and dropped down next to him. “I had to.”“Man. Really? Shit.” He glanced behind him, shaking his head as if still trying to convince the women that he was, in fact, not married. The guy would most likely live alone forever. He seemed to thrive in that state.“Thanks for meeting with me.” I lifted my finger toward the bartender and caught the guy’s eye. “Bud Light in the bottle please.”“I’m always willing to carve out time
