She shakes her head, her blue eyes are saddened by the directness of my question, and I didn’t mean to be so cold especially when I was acting like a kid on Christmas day when she called, knowing that today he’ll get the present that he desired the most.
“Dad’s no doing so well with the business, and I tried the bank. They won’t touch me.”
“How bad is it?”
“Bad enough that I’ve stopped selling to four department stores.”
She pauses as Candy comes with her blonde curls bouncing up and down as she lays the drinks in front of us. She asks if we want anything else, and surprising both Emily and I say at the same time, “No.”
Emily crosses her legs, and my eyes enlarge as I try to see what panties she has on if any. She watches my eyes and then does it again, but this time a lot slower, giving me a sneak preview of the black lace panties that she has on underneath. She seductively sips her drink with her eyes on me.
She decides to continue telling me about the business as I start to move closer towards her, “Three boutiques have canceled and a clothing line that was due to be in Paris Fashion week next month, no longer wants to work with me.”
“Impressive, you had clothing lines in the books too? I admire that you seem to have expanded and tried different avenues. Something that you weren’t trying nearly a year ago when I suggested it to you. The problem with her business and any business is the fact that you can’t put all your eggs in one basket. You need different revenue options, that’s the only way to survive. Because if one dies, they’ll always be another to take off the heat. Always,” I sip my JB which is a far cry from the bottle of Manhattan Rye that I have back home waiting for me.
She quickly sips the rest of her drink, “Did you come here to lecture me?”
I shake my head, “No, why do you always take criticism to be negativity? It’s the only way to grow.”
She nods her head, “Sorry to be so defensive. I’m not good at failing.”
I laugh thinking about the many times that I’ve ventured into different business and run them at a loss as my mind starts going into business mode and my cock will have to wait for the next event of the night.
“I’m not laughing at you, but you have a tendency to think that everything that’s not a perfect score is bad. Like when you were in gymnastics, and you didn’t get picked to represent the school, instead of trying harder you quit.”
“I was a kid back then.”
“Maybe so, Emily but the attitude now is the same. Take the parts that didn’t work and then think of how to make them work going forward.”
She shakes her head, “I did that just now.”
“No, you told me all the problems with the business. You didn’t see the positive side of things. You tried a different avenue as I said,” I wave my hand down to indicate to Candy that she needs to refill Emily’s glass. Just one more. I don’t want her drunk. Just a little more lively.
“You never supplied to department stores a year ago. You never even considered clothing lines. Instead, you had random orders from stores. No contracts. Nothing. You were that kid that used to go with her case and sell to stores. Hoping that someone would buy them.”
She sighs, “I know, but that kid never had an apartment, bills or even worse people working for her. There’s a big difference between that kid and I at the moment.”
“And this is the reason that you need to take risks. Not over the top risks, like what you were doing, sticking to the one thing that you knew. Randomly selling to whoever wanted to buy them.”
I know that I’m making sense to her, but the look on her face tells me that maybe she’s drinking her cosmopolitan's a bit too fast. I’m glad that we had the little talk. I can see that Emily has some growing up to do. Even if in my eyes she still has the body of a goddess.

“I think that you’ve had to drink for one night,” Marvin smiles as she waves at Candy. The tender with so much glow that I feel as if I need dark shades to look directly at her.
As he pulls out my chair, I think of him as always being the perfect gentleman. Such class and the man that wants to take me to his room this weekend and do dirty things to me.
Marvin moves his arm and turns to hold my hand as we leave the bar. I feel a little relieved since it’s less intimate than having his arm around me, but the touch still leaves me flustered. I wait as we stand for what feels like a few seconds and then Kurt’s parked the limo outside and is standing by the door, waiting for us to get in. I stand unclear what to do next when Marvin announces, “Ladies first.”
As he motions for me to move in front of him. I must admit that this is the first time that I’ve seen him in black. He has a slight tan, something I rarely see on him and with his dark hair turning more gray. It doesn’t make him look old, just a mature temptation.
I smile awkwardly, “Thank you.”
I walk ahead of him, but I hesitate as I reach the limo and my heel hoovers inside of it.
