Chapter 7

The storm wasn’t predicted. Josh woke up to the rumble of thunder off in the distance. Looking around, he realized that he’d fallen asleep on his sofa again. Damn.

Stretching sore muscles, he looked around, wondering where he’d left off. Oh, right. The contract for his client. He rubbed his neck, trying to ease the knot from sleeping on the less than comfortable couch. He considered the thought of getting a new sofa, one that would be more comfortable when he fell asleep on it. The decorator he’d hired to style this place had raved about the sofa and the quality and blah blah blah. All he knew was that it was a torture trap if one fell asleep.

The thunder rumbled again, closer and louder this time. Was it going to rain? Or snow? Either wasn’t good. The temperatures today had gone above freezing, barely, but rain meant that it would freeze on the streets.

Maybe it was a good thing that he’d fallen asleep here at the office. Again.

A cry echoed through the darkness. Josh froze, but the only sound he heard was the ticking of that damn clock. He absolutely hated that clock. Another decorator “find”, he remembered. The clock had a marble base and ridiculous looking horses flanking the clock face. He had to remember to wind the blasted thing every morning. What was wrong with technology?

Oh, right! It didn’t mesh with the “feel” of the décor.

At the time, he’d agreed with the decorator’s suggestion to go with antique décor. It definitely suited the style of the building’s architecture. But it wasn’t comfortable. He’d put his foot down when she’d suggested a prissy desk for his office. That was the reason Marni sat at the prissy desk.

It fit her though. She had a sort of boho charm to her, even though she tried to hide it with thrift store outfits. Some of her outfits looked amazing and others…well, missed the mark completely. She kept trying, though. And that was the important thing. No, the important thing was that she was smart and damn good at her job.

Another cry came through the night air and he froze. What the hell was that?

He walked to the back of the house and peered out into the backyard, searching for a cat or maybe a racoon. Nothing. Not even rain. The storm was getting closer though. He could feel it in his bones. Glancing at the second story windows where he knew Marni was sleeping, he wondered if she was the reason he felt so…out of sorts. He thought about Marni all the time. Returning to his office, he wondered what she was wearing. When he left for the night, he knew she went upstairs to study. What did she study in? He pictured her in a cute little nighty with satin straps and a flirty skirt that didn’t quite cover her pert butt.

Realistically, she probably wore oversized sweat pants and a massive sweater, but even that was enticing to him lately.
