Chapter 14

Quinn

I spun circles in my chair, staring up at the ceiling as I did so, waiting for the last client of the day to show. It was taking forever for him to arrive, and though he told me that he was getting caught up in traffic, I had to admit, I was a little annoyed nonetheless.

I had other things I wanted to do with my day. Well, not really, but I didn’t want to spend the day in the office staring at the ceiling and waiting for yet another client to show up.

It had been a slow day overall, and dreadfully long. I’d gone through the motions for most of it, filling out numbers where they needed to be, answering questions, doing everything that I normally did when I was working, but my mind was on anything and everything but work.

Well, my mind was on one thing that wasn’t work,

No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t get Bain off my mind. All I could think about was how badly I wanted him back in my bed. Or let him put me back in his bed. Either one would work for me quite honestly.

Finally, there was a knock at the door and the receptionist poked her head in.

“Mr. Scott is here to see you now,” she said.

“Great,” I replied with little enthusiasm in my voice. “Send him in.”

She gave a nod and soon Henry appeared. We had been on friendly terms since he started with the firm a few years back. He ran the local YMCA and my boss was more than happy to take on the challenge of running their finances.

Being a nonprofit meant that we had to take care of a lot more than just their standard finances. Their taxes were done differently, their income was done differently, and it often fell to me to sort out how things were done and where they were documented.

“Wow, don’t you look amazing today. What am I saying? You always look amazing,” Henry said with a laugh as he walked into the room. It was a bit of an awkward laugh, and I joined in, though I wondered where the sudden compliment had come from.

Despite the friendliness between the two of us over the months, there hadn’t ever been any flirting. Though, more than once, I thought of him as being the person I really should consider dating. He was the one in the polo shirt and khakis. He was the one who had dedicated his life to helping youth.

He was the one with the steady job and the upstanding social status. Anyone who saw him with me would think of us as the perfect, all American couple. I could envision myself with a mini van and taking the kids to soccer practice. I could see him running a camp for the kids who didn’t have the greatest home lives.

I could see us living in the suburbs with a nice house at the end of a cul de sac with a pristine yard, golden retriever, and toys in the yard.
