CHAPTER TEN

Jocelyn debated whether she should go to clean or just blow off work. She hadn’t heard from Ramon in two days. At the end of the first day, she debated whether she should call him or if she should just act casual and pretend the evening that they had shared after their trip to the fair hadn’t meant anything to her.

She decided that she would go to work and pretend the latter. If Ramon couldn’t be bothered enough to call her, then she would just pretend the time they had spent together didn’t matter to her either. She was going to keep telling herself that he hadn’t been the best lover she’d ever had. She was going to pretend she could barely remember his name when she saw him.

Jocelyn walked into the front lobby. As she entered the company lobby, she was singing one of her favorite oldies by Nancy Sinatra. “These boots were made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do. One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.”

Ramon was standing in his office doorway, listening to her. When she saw Ramon, she stopped singing. Ramon glanced at her, and his eyebrows lifted in disbelief. Today’s sweatshirt had a big Superwoman emblem on the front of it. Blue stretch pants clung to her legs, and red tennis shoes adorned her feet. He shook his head wryly and wondered if he should just break down and buy uniforms for the cleaning people.

Seeing her in another ridiculous outfit made him want to grab her, but he refused to give in to the impulse. Jocelyn didn’t have a clue how ridiculous she looked. So instead, he cleared his throat and said, “Jocelyn, could you come into my office please,” and turned and walked back toward his desk.

She said under her breath, “Now he wants to be alone with me.”

Ramon turned to her and said, “What?”

Jocelyn remembered she was still supposed to be helping her sister and said, “Nothing.”

When Jocelyn walked into Ramon’s office, he closed the door, grabbed her in his arms, and kissed her passionately. After a second, he realized that she was not responding in the desired manner. He asked, “What’s wrong?”

“You have the nerve to kiss me? I haven’t heard from you for two whole days. You leave my bed and send me a thank you note. I thought we had shared something special?”

Ramon trying to lighten the mood quipped, “Don’t forget the roses.”

When she continued to frown, he sobered. “I’ve been working here around the clock since I left your place.” He paused, although he could barely contain his excitement. “We made a breakthrough. The formula is finally ready for the market. We made some changes, and now Brilliance truly does mimic a sheet of glass when it is applied to our paint products. Do you know what this means, Jocelyn? The company will make millions.”

Ramon proceeded to do a little jig while still holding her. She couldn’t help herself. She started to laugh because she had never seen him so happy.
