First day back after his Washington trip, David Jones walked into the offices of Jones Law with trepidation in his heart. He wasn’t sure what to expect. He had kissed Ronnie, and even though he had every intention of acting as though it had never happened, he didn’t know if he could depend on her to do the same thing. After he had arrived through his private elevator, he called both her and Joan to let them know he was back. He then proceeded to open his laptop and check his mail.

A few minutes later, Ronnie came through the door.

“David! Welcome back,” she said with a warm smile.

As she stood before him, his eyes drank in the sight of her. She looked amazing. Her hair was pinned up as usual, and she wore a sweater with bright red, blue, yellow and white blocks, a knee-length black pencil skirt, and black high-heeled shoes.

“Thanks. It’s great to be back,” he said smiling cautiously.

“How was Washington?”

“It was fine. I missed you tho–”

He broke off immediately, but it was too late. He stopped breathing for a minute. His eyes flew to hers. She seemed to have stopped breathing too.

“You did?” she squeaked as her eyes widened.

“Sure.”

Was he losing his mind? Here he was, hoping she would forget the kiss and then turns around and says something as incriminating as that. Time to change the subject real quick.

“Please remind me of the meetings I have for the rest of the week.”

“Umm…meetings…right. Okay…there’s a meeting tomorrow…” She took a deep breath.

David kept his eyes on his laptop and pretended to be absorbed with what was on the screen.

“With whom?” he asked.

“Umm…the team.”

“Our team?”

He was trying to slowly drag himself out of the quicksand he found himself in. Ronnie didn’t seem to want to cooperate though. Come on, Ronnie. Work with me here.

“Sure…yeah.”

“This is the meeting to get them started on drafting the agreements?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“Which ones?”

“The escrow, employment agreements, and the buyer equity documents.”

Good. Her head was clearing.

“Time?”

“Eight.”

His brow furrowed and he finally glanced at her.

“Why so early?”

“You’re meeting with the auditors at 10:00 a.m. remember? I didn’t want to do it later because I didn’t know how long that meeting would last.”

“Tomorrow is going to be one packed day.”

“I know. That’s why I left today free.”

“That was considerate of you,” he said with a half-smile as he checked his outlook calendar and noted that the meetings were all there.

“I try to anticipate what you’d like and work accordingly. Sometimes it can be difficult to figure out what you want though.”

“Oh?”

“Yes. Sometimes your signals can be mixed. It’s hard to figure out what you want from me.”

“Okay,” he said carefully, knowing they were no longer speaking about scheduling meetings.

As she turned to leave, he said, “By the way, I’ve got tickets to watch the Bulls versus the Knicks game next weekend. Interested?”

“Am I interested? Are you kidding?” she asked excitedly. Then suddenly her face changed. “Bob Gershon and Michael Jones joining us again?”

He gave an uneasy laugh.
