Chapter Fourteen

Work got extremely busy during the days following my date with Jason. My hours grew longer, and I had literally no time for a social life, but I didn’t want Jason to think I was brushing him off. I wanted to see him. It just seemed both our lives conspired to make sure that didn’t happen.

So I texted like crazy, telling him little bits about my day, asking about his, reiterating what a great time I’d had, and promising to see him again as soon as I could.

I finished late enough one evening that Jason was already starting his shift. It was easy to find where he was working in the building and steal a few minutes alone. Some frantic groping and kissing was about all we had time for though, since he was officially working and had a job to get through.

All right. That’s a lie. We went well beyond kissing and groping. In the days that followed, I stopped to see him many nights before leaving the building. A quick fuck in a deserted stairwell or on a break room table happened more often than not. Sordid and hasty, but exciting too. Unfortunately, seizing moments of quick release wasn’t the same as going on real dates, and I feared Jason might feel I was using him as some sort of stress reliever at the end of a long day.

“I’m sorry I’ve been so busy. I even had to go in on the weekend,” I told him one night. “Poor Baby is at day care more than she’s at home. It’s not good for her, having me gone this much.”

Jason buttoned his shirt post-make-out session. His hair was sticking out in crazy swirls from me running my hands through it. “I could spend some time with her if you want. My days aren’t that busy. I know it’s not the same as her being with you, but she might like some one-on-one attention.”

“Really? You’d do that?” I swiftly considered the proposition. It would be nice for Baby to have more personal care than she probably got at day care, but it seemed a big favor to ask of Jason. A huge favor considering the time and effort it would take for him to get to my house, or the day care, to pick up Baby. “I couldn’t ask you to.”

“You don’t have to. I’m offering.”

“I suppose I could drop her off with you some days rather than take her to day care, but then I’d have to pick her up before you leave for work. It would be a lot of juggling for both of us.”

He shrugged. “Up to you.”

I hesitated. This was the kind of favor a person might ask of a boyfriend, not somebody she was having a casual affair with. Did I want our relationship to turn that corner into something more?

“If you really don’t mind, I could drop her off with you some mornings. Or…maybe…you could come to my place after work and sleep there.
