The only light at the end of the tunnel, the only thing keeping me from yawning while I listen to boring ass presentations, are the texts and pics Sin sends of her sightseeing tour.
This morning over coffee, Tiffany had insisted that Sin spend the day getting a guided tour that only a native New Yorker could provide. Tif painted a glowing picture of how she would show Sin the hidden spots and the tourist traps along the way.
The best thing about it was that Sin didn’t even question me about meeting Matt. She and Tif took off like bullets fired from a gun, and were out the door before I could put on my dark-gray suit.
Seems the women have traversed one side of Manhattan and were going up the other.
Going by the time stamp on the picture of the drink she bought at Trader Joe’s near Union Square, I had until 5 PM or so before Sin would be here full of tales of the day.
And I can hardly wait to see her. I bet she is all laughter and smiles. But that’s not the only reason. I want to find out what she thinks of this city of mine, if she likes it.
It is my wish that she moves here. But if I have to, I’ll live in Texas, I’ll just have to commute.
A lot.
Although I’m loath to be separated from her, we will make it work somehow.
With my meetings done, I now have to get through some unpleasantness.
Matt.
At my instruction, I asked him to come here at one. I had my new receptionist, a bubbly blonde and the mother of three kids in college, serve him some coffee. I told her to have Matt park his ass out in the common area until I was ready to see him.
It’s now close to four. I guess I’m as ready as I’ll ever be.
My secretary, a meek, middle-aged woman who served Gramps before me, brings Matt to the door.
Without a thank you to her, he struts across the room, his hand outstretched and his mouth open wide, saying some bull-shit that “it is so good to meet me and he is so grateful- blah blah.”
I give his limp hand a slight shake and barely stop myself from rubbing my hand on my pant leg. Instead, I offer him a seat, and nothing else.
The prick doesn’t seem bothered by it. In fact, as we make small talk, he leans back on the chair like he owns the place. After a few minutes of this, the topic turns to Sin.
“I’m glad Genesis found someone like you.”
“Oh, why is that?”
He gives me a calculated smirk. “With your money, you can keep her happy.”
“Is that why you two broke up? Money?” I ask, pretending like I took the bait he was trying to feed me.
“Yes, I didn’t earn enough for her.” He fussily uncrosses and crosses his legs like the little bitch he is. With his brown hair and brown suit and brown beard. He blends together into one big lump.
A lump of crap that not even flies would buzz around. He is so obviously trying to sabotage Sin with his made up lies, it’s a wonder that he doesn’t smell the shit he is trying to shovel.

Istareathim,wondering what Genesis, who is quirky and intriguing, saw in this nondescript individual. He is as boring as he is pretentious.
And he is a liar.
In the years he and Sin were together, I bet he didn’t know the first thing that made Sin tick.
His loss is my gain. And I’m about to reward him for it. But there is a catch. Two, in fact. I’ve given him a job. He doesn’t know exactly what it is. Damn clown was so eager to get some kind of corporate work, I could hear him practically salivating over the phone as he talked, asking for this meeting.
“Well,” I say, changing the subject from Sin onto him. “I hope your wife will be pleased with your... ah, package.”
