“Hey, can you give me a second to get dressed, and we can talk about this?”
Sophie puts up her hands. “Oh, no, we don’t have to talk about anything. The both of you are adults. You don’t have to explain anything to me.”
“Yes, you’re right. I don’t have to explain anything to you, but I don’t want you leaving here thinking whatever it is you’re thinking.” She nods then I say, “Just give me two minutes and I’ll be right back. Don’t say anything until I get back.”
I turn carefully and run up the stairs and change into a black sweat suit. I make sure to put on some briefs underneath to restrain my erection, because apparently, I can’t be around Emma for long periods of time now without sporting some type of wood. I think it’s curious that even Sophie’s appearance in my home this morning didn’t scare my hard-on away.
When I get back downstairs, Sophie and Emma are sitting at the dining table in chairs adjacent to each other. Sophie sits at the head of the table, and I take the seat to her side and across from Emma.
“So, this is really awkward,” I say and Sophie huffs. “But I just want you to know that I am not taking advantage of your friend and we aren’t messing around.” Again, Sophie looks from me to Emma and back and then narrows her eyes. “It’s true. I can’t speak for Emma, but ever since we met, I felt something between us. I tried to deny it, but my feelings have persisted.”
Emma finally speaks. “It was the same for me.”
I look at her and we both smile at each other. We share that look a little too long for Sophie who draws us back by clearing her throat rather loudly.
“Yes.” I take a deep breath. “I don’t know where this is going, but I would very much like to find out.”
Emma and I stare at Sophie for a moment, who then says, “Listen, the both of you are my two favorite people in the world, and I want nothing but the best for you. I think you both deserve to be in fulfilling relationships. I truly believe it’s none of my business and the both of you can do whatever you want. Though I would be lying if I said that this didn’t concern me.” She points between Emma and me. “I mean, Dad, you’re 57 and Emma, you’re 31. That’s not a small age difference. That’s an entire lifetime between you two, and then there’s the fact that you work together and that you are her superior in a way. If this doesn’t end well, neither of you will get out unscathed. That worries me.”
“You’re right,” Emma says. “There are many reasons why this doesn’t make sense, but it seems to for us. I’m not sure I would be able to put it into words, but it just makes sense. Like you said, we have both been unlucky in love, and no matter how this ends, it feels good right now.”
“Well, I don’t have anything against both of you seeing each other. Just be careful.”
That’s where we leave the conversation. I try to convince Sophie to stay and have breakfast with us, but she insists on leaving. Not long after that Emma departs as well.
I am left alone with the words of Sophie’s warning ringing in my ear. I can’t possibly know how things will turn out between Emma and me. All I can do is hope for the best. So that’s what I’m choosing to do.
Chapter Eleven
Emma
I didn’t think it was possible for one person to be this happy. I mean, things have been going so well between Glen and me that a little part of me keeps waiting for his secret family from Iowa to turn up. And so far, nothing has happened.
It has been two months since Glen and I officially started seeing each other. In that time he and I have solidified our bond. I would go so far as to say I love him. Of course, I would never tell him that. It would freak him out. I don’t think he’s there yet. Or even if he is, I don’t think he is aware.
We spend so much time together. We make every excuse to be around each other when at work. However, we make a great deal of effort to be very professional during these times. I don’t think anyone has noticed. It’s actually a fun game that we play with each other, and it keeps us on our toes.
When we aren’t at work, we are always together. Mostly at his place, because I have still yet to decorate mine. Also, he says he likes the idea of me being in his house. The first time he told me that my heart just about cracked open.
And the sex… Don’t get me started on the sex. I haven’t been counting, but I believe I’ve had more sex in the last two months of my life then I’ve had cumulatively in the past.
It’s not just a quantity thing. It’s also about quality. Sex with Glen is otherworldly. The man knows exactly what he is doing. It’s almost as if my body is a violin and he is a concert violinist. He knows where to touch me to drive me wild and elicit the best response. He takes and takes and takes from me, but he also makes sure that he gives.
I don’t know if this is what it’s like dating older men, but if it is, I am never going back.
Although things have been great between us, there is one specter looming. My time atMed-Fieldsis coming to an end soon. I don’t know what that means for our relationship. I feel like my departure from the company is going to force certain conversations. Conversations that may lead to the abrupt end of what’s going on between us.
The age gap between Glen and me is very real. Although I have very intense feelings for Glen, I am aware of the fact that he and I probably have very different goals for our futures. We haven’t spoken about it, but at some point, I would like to get married and have kids. Glen already has been married and I don’t know if he would want to do it again. He also has a daughter over the age of 31. I don’t imagine he’d want to start all over again.
Speaking of home, things between Sophie and me are also going great. It was touch and go for a second. I could tell she was a bit weirded out by the fact that I was sleeping with her father, but after a while, when she saw how happy we make each other, she got on board really quickly. It has been smooth sailing in that regard ever since.
Today I am at work and I’m having a pretty slow day. I’ve already been to see Glen twice and I have had to stop myself at least a dozen times from going to see him again.
I don’t want to be too obvious, so I make sure to put as much distance as I can between my visits.
The end of the day has arrived and I decide to go and ask Glen if he would like me to come over tonight.
With a smile on my face, I let down my hair because I know Glen likes it this way. I fluff it up and go search for my man.
