well when you do, can you let me know, please? I really want to be there.”
I gently nod my head. He releases my arm and I hear his footfalls walking away. I don’t know how to feel. Deep inside, I feel relieved that he’s not with Tammy anymore, but I can’t believe he told her about the baby. I haven’t even told Aunt Sylvia or Tracy yet. I don’t have time to think about it now, so I go and get the meeting room ready for the meeting at 11:00 a.m.
Later in the afternoon, I’m sitting in my office typing up my meeting notes when I’m startled by a knock on my open door. My head snaps up and I take in the tall, muscular guy standing in my office doorway. He has gorgeous blond, wavy hair and big blue eyes. He looks like a stereotypical surfer. He’s very tanned and has the most amazing smile and his big blue eyes are literally sparkling.
“Well hello beautiful, I’ve never seen you here before.” His smile is infectious that I can’t help smiling back. “Last time I was here, Wendy was here.”
“Yea, she retired. I’ve been working here a few months now. Sorry, but do you have an appointment with Mr. Lynn?” He bursts out laughing and I’m trying to understand what was so funny.
“As a matter of fact, I have, but it’s not a business meeting. It’s the only way he ever has time to see me. Joshua works too damn hard. I wish he would cut loose sometimes and stop being so business, business, business.” He laughs again. His eyes are really something. “I will go and let Mr. Lynn know you’re here. Mr.—?”
“Don’t worry beautiful. I will go straight in, he won’t mind.” He walks off.
Who is here?
I’m still staring at the open doorway when the blond guy pops his head in.
“My name’s Karl beautiful, Karl Stanford.” He winks and disappears again. He seems quite a happy guy. I wonder who he is to Joshua?
While I have a bit of time, I phone the doctor and make an appointment for later on this week. I’ve been feeling quite well recently, but nervous about going to the doctor and booking my first ultrasound. I hear laughing coming from Joshua’s office and moments later Joshua and Karl appear, laughing about God knows what. It’s great to see Joshua actually smiling. He has such a gorgeous face when he smiles.
“Well Joshua, give me a call when you actually want a night out. It must get boring with all the work you’re doing. You need a night out with me.” He laughs. “What about you beautiful, fancy a night out with me?” I laugh as he wiggles his eyebrows up and down. I look over at Joshua and he’s not laughing anymore. In fact, he’s frowning.
“Thank you, Karl, but I’m looking forward to a nice night in front of the television tonight.” I smile and look at the time. It’s nearly time to go, so I stand and clear all the files away.
“Oh come on beautiful, I will get on my knees and beg,” he laughs. “I will give you a night to remember.” I giggle at his words. He’s a terrible flirt.
“She said no, Karl. Leave it.” I glance up from what I’m doing and see Joshua glaring at Karl.
“Whoa, sorry mate, I was just having a bit of fun. I didn’t know you two—?”
“We’re not,” I blurt.
“It’s complicated,” we both say at the same time. I glance at Joshua and my eyes lock with his. He eyes are full of desire that I’ve never seen before.
Karl laughs. “Okay then you guys… I’m gonna go.” He looks between me and Joshua before laughing and walking off. I quickly glance away from Joshua and busy myself by tidying my desk.
“Uh, Joshua?” I glance up and he’s still standing in my office.
“Yes.”
“I’ve made a doctor’s appointment for later this week if you want to still come?” I nervously chew on my bottom lip.
“Yea, of course, clear my schedule for that day and I will definitely be there.”
I smile. “Thank you.”
Joshua smiles and makes his way back to his office. I can’t help smiling. Things seem to
