Richard
Iâd be lying if I said I didnât like Ellen the way I was feeling. With her curvy body always teasing me, and also that wonderful personality slowly winning me over, I began to realize that there was something far deeper there, far more enticing than I had thought before.
And I liked that.
I started to help Ellen whenever I could. We both worked together to make the company as good as we could. Apparently, I did a decent job of it. The day of the presentation was drawing closer and closer, and I was surprised that I didnât hear a damn peep from Fred, or anything.
Seeing Fred, my old rival in the motorcycle club, would be something. I heard that he randomly disappeared one day. I thought that he had skipped town. But when I found out he was working in the same industry, I was floored. He was a dick, though, and I couldnât wait for the day when I finally got what I wanted.
And that, of course, would be this Friday.
When Friday came around, both Ellen and I made our way over to Thomasâs office. Thomas Vale was a good associate of mine. Weâd talked about a merger in the past, but he was always so wishy-washy. He demanded that I show proof, and even when I did, he was always a bit hesitant to push forward. I hoped there would be a chance that heâd finally see things my way once all was said and done.
When we got to the office, I could sense that Ellen was hesitant. But I reached out, touching her shoulder and looking her dead in the eyes.
âItâll all be okay,â I insisted.
âThanks, Richard. Iâm just nervous. I never thought Iâd see that fucker again,â she admitted.
I wanted to protect her, to tell her it would be okay, and that asshole wouldnât get away with this. But I didnât know how to really say it to her without being awkward. After a little bit, I spoke.
âI know youâre nervous. But you have me. And I promise I wonât treat you like shit. I havenât yet, right?â I teased.
She laughed and then nodded.
âNaw, youâve treated me nicer than most guys have. Even my old boyfriends when they tried to wow me,â she admitted.
I felt that. I loved taking Ellen out. I didnât want things to be awkward between us, but when I spent time with her, it just felt so right.
âWell once this is over, we can really celebrate,â I offered.
She nodded, excitement flowing through her body.
âGood. Iâm glad,â she admitted.
I wanted to make this good for both of us, not just for me. When we opened the door, I saw Thomas, giving a big smile. Fred was there too, and I noticed w small, blonde women next to him. That was probably the girl Ellen had been talking about.
Sure enough, she was small and thin. Not really my type, but I could see from the shit-eating grin on Fredâs face that he wanted her to feel uncomfortable.
