“Good, because if you’re not Marvin. Then you can forget Vegas and don’t ask me about it again?”
“Understood.”
She opens the door, and a flustered Brenda walks in, I can’t hear what she’s saying because I realize right then as Emily leaves my office. I’ve created a monster, and I like it.
Epilogue
Emily
We’re opening a new shop; our expansion plans have kept me busy after signing the papers to merge the companies.
I’m no longer working alone, but I have a team. One that allows me to work on the aspects of the business that I love the most.
Designing.
I’m good at my job, and the expansion has allowed expertise in so many domains, and it’s all down to one man, Marvin.
“Why are you still here?” Katie asks as she hovers at my door.
“I’m leaving right now, just give me a minute to pack up my things.”
She stuck with me through thick and thin, and with everything going so well, I’m able to give her a raise, to pay her back for staying when most left at the threat of closure.
“Good. It’s not nice to keep your boyfriend waiting all the time.”
I purse my lips but don’t argue.
“Well, remember he’s still on a thin line.”
“But it’s been six months!”
I laugh as she lifts her hands up in the air, “I know, but I thought that you were coming to the opening too?”
“Yes, but I was just thinking of seeing if Roger was still in the office too?”
It seems like someone has a major crush, it’s amazing that both our secretaries seem to be hitting it off. I’m not sure if Roger’s keen, but by the way, Katie’s wearing a hot sleeveless black dress with her boobs on display. I think that she;s more than keen.
“Is Michelle coming too?”
I ask because I don’t remember if she was on the invitation list.
“Yep, I sent her an invite too and your parents. Don’t worry just get home and get ready. Okay?”
My mind is already moving ahead to getting home, and I’m excited. In the time since we signed the contracts, my relationship with Marvin has grown and in many ways matured. We aren’t running around like kids anymore. Even though I know that he’ll love if it we were sexual again. I want to take things slow. One step at a time, because I think part of the reason that I was so upset is that I rushed things. I thought that everything was perfect between us and it made sense to just spend all my time with him.
But I was a fool in love, and I don’t want to do that ever again.
As soon as I get in the car and drive home. I slip off my shoes and then head to the bathroom. After taking one a quick shower, I take out the silver dress that I designed especially for tonight. I stare at it for a while remembering how far I’ve come in such a short space of time.
I’d dreamed about this day so many times. I dry my hair tempted to call Marvin and ask if he wants us to arrive together. He’d offered before, and I kept thinking that it was too soon to move on to that stage. I want to take things slow, just for my sanity. He says that he respects it
and I hope he does because things have changed between us and only for the better.
I do crave him sometimes at night I touch myself wishing that it’s his hand between my legs. I shake off my feelings as I grab the dryer for my hair. Before I switch it on, I hear my phone. I bend to get it off the bed, and there’s a message from Marvin.
Marvin: I hope you don’t mind, but Kurt’s picking you up in twenty.
Wow, he sent his driver. I quickly tell him, ‘Thanks’ and then get back to my task. Drying my hair. I wonder why he decided to send Kurt. I want to call and ask, but there’s no time to do that. I need to get going, because time is of the essence and for once in my life, I want to be on time.
