By the next morning Cooper still hadn’t called me, and there was no way I would break down and call him first. I didn’t even remember why we had gotten into an argument, but that didn’t matter. He’s the one that came in with the vendetta.
He would have to call me first or we would never talk again. End of story. My mind went back to the prank on Max to teach him a lesson.
Laura and I had our plan all worked out. Last night after Laura came over I called Max up and apologized for my rash behavior. I continued with a small phone interview and promised to meet him and then I would finish it up in person. Laura would follow behind me as I talked with Max. I’d finalize the piece and turn the screen for him to give it a read. He was going to lose it!
During all of this Laura would be filming his reaction. Near the end, she would pop out and surprise him from behind. We would both laugh our asses off at him.
We planned to use the recording against him. He’d have to either leave us alone or we’d share it with the world. It was his call, really. We’d be having some fun while teaching him a valuable lesson - don’t fuck with women.
I arrived at the address he had given me. The neighborhood was nice. How the hell was he going to afford an office in this part of the city? Did he have secret money or something?
Laura walked up, out of breath, and put her hand on my shoulder.
“You okay?” I asked.
“I had to run the last few blocks because I left so late.”
“I’m going inside, so I’m not late. You can follow me in a few minutes after you catch your breath. Remember, stay back until the end. I’ll give you the sign.”
“Yeah, yeah, you call him a small-penis-mother-fucker, and I jump out at him hoping he shits himself. Then I’ll show him the video.”
“This is the best plan ever,” I said, giggling.
“I feel like we’re in college again.”
“Right?” I smiled. “I’ll see you in a few.”
As she waited outside, still breathing heavily, I went into the ten-story building. The top floor was supposedly where he was opening up his security company.
None of his story made sense to me. That was one of the reasons I didn’t feel too bad about pranking him with Laura. He had to be taught a lesson.
When I reached the top floor, I stepped out of the elevator and glanced to the left and right, looking for him. He was straight ahead, standing near the floor to ceiling windows at the other end of a big, open area.
I took a deep breath then walked over, putting a smile on my face. Laura is coming soon. Just keep it cool. What if he gets angry and hits me? Would he do that? Fuck. Maybe this is a bad idea.
He spun around and smiled, stretching out his arms as if he wanted a hug. I stopped a good twenty-feet away from him, keeping the smile on at full intensity.
“Damn, you’re looking good,” he said, checking out my body.
The little black dress I had on was always a favorite with men.
“You’re looking fit too,” I said.
“About yesterday…”
“Don’t worry about it,” I interrupted, waving my hand through the air. “Water under the bridge. You ready to do this?”
I walked over to the only desk and set my laptop on it.
“Yeah,” he said. “Sorry I don’t have it furnished yet, but I thought it would help you finish the story.”
“Okay,” I said, pulling up the already prepped Word file. “Just a few final questions.”
“Hold on. Can I say something first?”
I glanced over at the elevators then to him.
“Sure. Yeah. Go ahead.”
