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
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
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
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
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
I cannot believe that Mayson is laid out on the bed before me. I feel like the luckiest man in the world at this moment. I am so in love with this woman. I have to take my time or her first time will be over before she can truly enjoy it. Maybe deep down I am just a caveman, but tonight I will be claiming her as my own and I dare anyone to try to break us apart. I can tell she is nervous. Her breathing has picked up and the skin on her chest is flushed. Her eyes are closed so I know that she is starting to feel anxious. This is not the time for an anxiety attack. I lay down next to her and slowly run my hand up her arms. “Open your eyes, sweetheart. And look at me.” When she looked at me I could see a little fear in those emerald green eyes. “Don’t be scared, I will take care of you. It will be the best experience you ever had. I promise.” I could see her start to relax. “I am not going to lie to you and tell you that it won’t hurt but I will be as gentle as I can. I don’t want t
I must still be dreaming because I am not in bed alone like any other morning. I turn over and Holden is lying next to me. If this is a dream I have no desire to wake no from it. Last night I was finally able to give myself completely to him. I am a little sore but it’s a feel good sore. I don’t think we stopped making love until at least two in the morning. Holden is snoring, loudly. But that doesn’t matter to me. All I know is life right now, is perfect. Since Holden fixed dinner for me last night. I am going to sneak down to the kitchen and make breakfast. I am sure he is pretty hungry after all of the mind blowing, multiple orgasm sex we had last night. The soreness that I feel is so worth it. I am glad I waited to lose my virginity with him. It was his to begin with. Eight years ago when we were going to leave town and get married, it would have happened then. I wonder if we would have our careers like we do now. Would we have a couple of children by now. Things happened the wa
This weekend was spectacular. If Mayson and I were not sleeping we were banging each other’s brains out. Now here is Monday, staring us in the face. Back to reality and to fix the problems that happened a few days ago. I had decided not to answer my cell phone over the weekend. I had kept it on silent. Seth had a pretty good idea of what I was going to be doing, When I picked up my phone, there it was no surprise to see several texts from Seth. Seth: Dude, good luck this weekend. Seth: Take care of that woman man. Need lube? Seth: Do you need me to bring you a little blue pill? LOL Seth: All kidding aside I’m happy for you. Love to you both That last text was pretty sappy for Seth, but underneath all of the male bravado was a heart of gold. He was a romantic at heart, at least where other people’s relationships were concerned, not so much his own relationships. His deal with Amelia still does not make sense to me. They have been engaged for over a year. I don’t know if he wi
