Chapter 13 ~ Brock

It had been the craziest fucking week, in the best possible way.

Victoria had come to the office, bright and early Monday morning, her arms overloaded with papers and catalogs. I’d set her up across from Brady, and she’d been working her ass of to get everything ready for the redecoration. It hadn’t been a hardship, seeing her beautiful face every day, but I’d kept my word and acted strictly professionally at work. We’d both been busy, so we hadn’t had a chance to get together outside of work since the weekend, but that was being remedied tonight. She was coming over to my place, and having dinner with me and my brothers.

I’d finally had my meeting with Mr. Brandt, and was excited at the prospect of working with him. He’s insinuated that if everything went well with this job, he’d push more business my way. I was thrilled to have landed the project, and at the prospect of growing my business even more.

With Victoria on site, and bringing my team up to speed on the Brandt project, I hadn’t had time to talk to Cal or Shelly about my plus one for the shower. I figured, even though it was being thrown by Sasha and Gaby, I needed to speak personally with Shelly to give her a heads up. That was why, instead of grabbing a bite to eat with Victoria, I was headed into the bank.

“Sounds good, talk to you soon,” she said with a smile, standing as she prepared to hang up the phone.

Pregnancy looked good on her. Her long brown hair was silky and full, her skin shone with happiness, and her rounded belly was accentuated by the flowing dress she wore. There was no doubt about it, Shelly was a happy and beautiful woman. I was glad that she and Cal had been able to work through the problems in their marriage. Their relationship seemed stronger for it. And, Lord knew, they were both stoked about becoming parents.

“Brock,” Shelly said in greeting as she rounded her desk. “It’s so good to see you.”

I stood and bent to accept her hug and kiss on my cheek.

“It’s good to see you too,” I replied sincerely. “How are you and the baby feeling?”

She brought her hand up to caress her swollen stomach and said happily, “We’re wonderful.” Shelly leaned back on the edge of her desk, then looked at me curiously and asked, “What brings you by?”

I’d only ever been in to discuss business. Shelly handled my account for O’Malley’s, and we always scheduled appointments. I wasn’t surprised that my drop in made her curious.
