Chapter Fourteen

Parker sat at her desk contemplating the resumes she was analyzing for final interviews, when Jenny bounced into the office and plopped into her chair.

“Well. That is one fine woman, girlfriend. Of course, if you tell Mack I said that I will deny it all day.” She smirked.

“Your secret’s safe with me,” Parker returned, leaning a bit farther over her desk. “She is kind of amazing, and smart and funny and nice and—”

“Yeah, yeah. And she’s perfect for you, and s-e-x-y.”

“It feels like she is perfect. We spent all but an hour together since Saturday night and I just felt happy every minute.”

“Does that mean what I think it does?” Jenny’s eyebrows rose as she stared at Parker.

“I don’t know.” Parker tried to sound casual but failed, her mind glazing over at her involuntary recall from Saturday night and Sunday. “So amazing,” she whispered, as much to herself as to Jen.

“So why do you look like your GPS quit working in a dark jungle?”

“Interesting analogy.”

“Don’t deflect.” Jenny was stern.

“Haven’t you been listening? I’m falling for a dark-haired Dayne Grant. She’s smart, funny, charismatic, and gorgeous. She has all of the requirements: power, presence, and personality.”

“Sounds tragic,” Jenny deadpanned.

“She is a player. She hasn’t met a woman she couldn’t seduce and that is not where I see myself as I near forty.”

“The girl I met last night didn’t seem like that to me. She watched every move you made, and as far as I remember, never left your side.”

“Maybe that’s her shtick.”

“Maybe you should relax a little.”

“Maybe. As long as she never thinks I want a relationship, we should be okay. I’ve been quite up front about not expecting anything from her.”

“Then perhaps you shouldn’t be surprised when you don’t get anything,” Jenny offered reasonably.

“I could just surrender to heart-stopping sex delivered by a gorgeous woman willing to fulfill my every carnal wish.” She laughed at the foreign idea she wasn’t even comfortable joking about yet.

Jenny squealed, pumping her fists in the air in celebration. “So happy you are finally having some fun.”

“Shh.” Parker laughed at the bouncing woman in her guest chair. “Let’s not tell the whole office, okay? We don’t need to hear any more comments about HR standing for Homo Resources.”

Jenny locked her lips with an imaginary key and almost danced out of the office and into hers.

Parker tried to concentrate on work while thinking about the many days left before Friday.
