Chapter Seventeen

Grayson

Landon and I are toiling away in my office, shooting off emails to AI developers and watching course seminars on the best ways to market in this particular tech sector. We’ve already amassed countless investors that are counting on us to make this branch a success. The AI component was Landon’s idea, and we’ve hired some of the best tech developers in the industry. Since my specialty is marketing, that’s what I’ve been enlisted to do for the company.

I’m finding it hard to focus, though, since my mind is dominated by thoughts of Whitney. Not just the way it feels when her soft lips meet mine, or the delicate tone of her voice, but the rash decision I made the other night involving her.

“Alright, out with it. What the hell is distracting you from work?” Landon asks suddenly, turning in his chair to look at me.

“Nothing. I’m working!”

The video on the screen in front of me has ended, and I wonder how long ago it stopped playing.

“You’ve been sitting in front of a video that ended ten minutes ago, Grayson. So, just tell me the truth.”

He looks at me with a hint of impatience, and I know that my being distracted is getting on his nerves. It’s understandable why, of course. This business is important, and has a lot of money and investors riding on it. If there was ever a time when I shouldn’t be getting distracted, this is it.

“It’s just Whitney,” I tell him honestly, hoping that’s enough to sate his interest.

“It’s not ‘just Whitney’ Grayson, it’s always Whitney. Look, it’s obvious to me that things aren’t going to get done on your part until you get whatever you’re thinking about off your mind. So, why don’t we take a small lunch break and you can tell me what's going through your head?”

Landon is looking at me expectantly, waiting for my answer.

“Yeah, that sounds good actually. Let’s do that,” I respond as I nod and stand up to head to the kitchen.

On the menu today is leftover lasagna from the lunch that Mom brought us yesterday. I didn’t feel like lasagna yesterday or today, for that matter. But, when your mom brings you lunch, you don’t say no. Or at least, Landon and I don’t. Landon slaps two servings on a plate and puts them in the microwave before turning to look at me. After a silent moment, he raises his eyebrows. I sigh before I respond.

“Okay, I guess that the problem is that I don’t know if I can trust Whitney.”

“Trust Whitney with what?”

“I mean trust Whitney in a relationship.”

My tone is a bit sarcastic, but I felt that what I meant should be obvious.

“What makes you think that you can’t?” he asks as his forehead wrinkles.

He shoves his hands in his pockets and leans back against the counter as the microwave counts down.

“It’s nothing she’s done. But all the women that I’ve been with were using me in some way. Like Annette, who kept pressuring me to invest money in the convertible heel-purse idea.
