Second Chance Chapter 26 - Holden
I felt like I was on top of the world this morning. Mayson and I had spent the entire weekend together. There was so much that we needed to learn about each other. We were not those same teenagers anymore. We had lived quite a bit in the years apart. It is what made us who we are now. I was not looking forward to hearing about any of the past relationships Mayson has had. I did not want to even imagine another man’s hands on her body. Or another man buried inside of what is rightfully mine. When I make love to her for the first time, every other man before me will no longer exist. I have agreed to take it slow with Mayson. She does not want to rebuild what we had but use that as a foundation for something even better. I realize I am more in love with her today than I was when we were eighteen. I have dated quite a bit and was a man whore like Seth was in college. Amelia was a year behind us in school so Seth was a wild and free man when we went away to school. I followed that same p
Second Chance Chapter 27 - Amelia
Mayson is such a bitch. She has always had to ruin everything. I needed to get rid of her for good. It might be drastic, but at this point I am almost willing to do anything to get rid of her. I thought the slashed tires would scare her enough to stay out of the office. But of course, with my luck, she stays at the office more. I am so tired of hearing her voice and seeing her face around the office. I had to promise Seth to be nice to her, but it is getting harder and harder. This morning Seth and Holden came in later than usual. They both had these stupid grins on their faces when they walked in. It was like they had a secret to themselves. I didn’t like secrets. I was going to have to get the information out of Seth somehow. I am sure a quickie in the supply closet or a quick hand job at lunch time will loosen up his lips. He is so easy to manipulate with sex. If that didn’t work, I would get him drunk and he would definitely spill whatever he knows. “Amelia, honey, can you ord
Second Chance Chapter 28 - Mayson
I feel like there is no longer a weight on my shoulders. I have felt this heaviness ever since I came back to Chance. Now that Holden and I are starting over, I feel so much lighter. The fact that Holden never cheated on me was a huge relief. I had worried for years that it was my fault that Holden had turned to Amelia. Maybe because I had wanted to hold onto my virginity until we were married made him need to find someone to have sex with. When I was in college and tried dating, if I said no to having sex with them, they avoided me and never called again. So why wouldn’t Holden have felt the same way. Now, my next obstacle is letting him know that I am still a virgin. My concern is how he will react to the news. Will it be disappointment since I don’t have any experience. That is going to be an obstacle that I need to overcome. I will have to table that conversation for later with Holden. We have a time crunch this morning. The meeting with board and the Zoning Commissioner is a l
Second Chance Chapter 29 - Holden
The file disappearing from both the hard drive and the server just does not make sense. All three of us had a hand in checking to make sure everything was ready. But what happened in less than twelve hours could jeopardize the project starting time. Mayson is sick over what happened with the files. I tried to tell her that it was one of those things that happen, but she wouldn’t listen to me. She was working so hard right now to make up for losing all of the work. I don’t want to go tell her that there is no way for the presentation to be ready in time for the meeting. I am going to have to call Councilman Jordan and reschedule the meeting. He is going to be pissed, but what other choice do I have. I am going to wait as long as I can before I have to tell her. She is so focused right now and that is the only thing that is keeping her sane. I fear that if she stops right now, a panic attack will take her over. That’s something I don’t want anyone else to see. Seth is still in the se
Second Chance Chapter 30 - Mayson
There is no way that I can get a quarter of the information ready for this meeting before noon. There is no way that is going to be enough for the zoning department to grant us the permits that we need. This is going to push breaking ground mark back by at least a month. The amount of money this is going to add to the budget, is something I don’t eve want to try to figure out at the moment. I just don’t understand what could have happened. This is one of the worst things that can happen right now. I looked up as Holden walked in and he didn’t have a good look on his face. More bad news. This day was going to hell quickly. “Mayson, I have tried to put this off as long as I could. Baby, we are going to have to cancel the meeting today. No matter how much work you have done it is not going to be enough to get the permits to break ground. You put in a lot of hard work this morning and I am proud of you for trying. We are just going to have to start from scratch and try again in a few
Second Chance Chapter 31 - Seth and Amelia
Something just isn’t sitting right with me about the files “disappearing.” I was the last one to make sure the files were checked. We were not taking any chances with something missing from the information. This project needed to start on time. We had contractors lined up to break ground as soon as the permits came through. Who would want to see this project halted - there weren’t any competing design firms or architects for the project. It’s not making any sense. Holden said it would be better for all of us to go home early. Calling today stressful would be an understatement. I need a strong drink and a soak in the hot tub. Amelia had headed home before I did so I am sure she will be waiting for me when I get home. I really don’t want any company tonight. I don’t know how we are going to recover from having to cancel the meeting with the zoning commissioner. It is still nagging at the back of my mind as to what happened to those files. Months of work shot to hell in the matter of h
Second Chance Chapter 32 -Holden
I could not have been happier at this moment. I have Mayson all to myself. I didn’t feel completely comfortable in her parent’s house when we were making out. I am so ready to take this relationship to the next level. I have been taking it slow for her, but after the kiss she gave me this morning I think she is ready to speed things up. I am so on board with that. Before we do that I want to come clean to her about at least one ex -girlfriend. She still lives in Chance and I don’t want her to show up unexpectedly and cause trouble. I will not allow another vengeful woman cause me to lose anymore time with her. As I watch Mayson walking around the house, I can see us growing old together in this house. I truly believe I had that in the back on my mind when I bought the house. She was the reason I made the purchase. When we would go riding around together when we were teenagers, this was always the last house we passed before we crossed over into Clinton. She would always dreamily sta
Second Chance Chapter 33 - Mayson
When I sank down in the hot tub I didn’t realize how tense my muscles were. The stress I had been under was something I was used to ever since I had been in college. Finishing my program a year early took a lot of hard work and a lot of caffeine. Today was more stressful than all of those years combined. I know this is supposed to be relaxation time, but I am having a tough time getting it off of my mind. I just feel responsible for what happened. “Hey. Mayson, where did you go on me? You were here relaxing along with me and then you space out.” Holden was right, I had disappeared for a minute. “Sorry, Holden. I was thinking about… “. He stopped me before I could finish the sentence. One of the rules tonight was that I was supposed to put the project away for a couple of days. “I told you tonight is for relaxation and for us to have alone time.” Holden pulled me into his arms and softly kissed me. Those lips against mine made me forget everything but the two of us. I decided to
