here.”
“Well, I’ll let you get your day started. If I have time, I’ll call you. And Allen, remember, you can call me anytime too. You have my office number and my cell number. I would love to hear from you.”
“I will. Love you.”
“Love you, too’” I told him as I hung up.
This was getting way too deep. I tell this man I love him more than I tell my husband. Were Allen and I just playing around? Was this just something to pass the time until we fell back in love with our respective spouses? Was this just a fantasy brought to life by a chance encounter caused by a brief layover? I couldn’t explain what I was feeling, but I sure felt like love to me. Allen was perfection and I owed it to myself to find out what I was missing. Allen made me want something. He made me want something in this life. He awakened desires in me to do, and to be anything. He dared me to be the best and to take nothing less than what I really, truly wanted. Kenny just looked good in a suit. But Allen, he was The One.
In the midst of everything, I forgot to tell Allen about my trip to LA yesterday. He would have been really proud of me. Now that I have the check in hand, I can begin the development project on the shopping center. This is what I had been working towards for the past several years since I’ve been in real estate. This was the project I had convinced Axis that my company could do successfully. Now it was time to put up or shut up. I had to complete the purchase of the land, hire the architects and contractors and get this project underway. This project was going to require precise judgment on my part. If anything gets fucked up, it’s going to come out of my pocket, and my pockets are not that deep. I assured Axis that I could successfully complete this project within the budget I submitted and it had to be accurate. There was little room for error on my part. However, should I complete this project successfully, it could spell millions of dollars for my company within a year. I could be balling out of control in no time! I don’t think I ever told Allen the extent of this project, just that it was going to be the biggest deal of my life. Now I’m wondering if I should just wait and surprise him once I finish and get really paid! I’m trippin’ because it never even occurred to me to tell Kenny anything about my trip to LA. I know how negative he can be and he would probably say something to piss me off and get cursed out again. No, I decided that I will just keep quiet for now and make him eat his words later.
The next few days went by uneventfully. I knew Lisa would be home soon and I wouldn’t be able to talk to Allen the way I wanted to. Whenever I thought about him, I would just go to his company’s website and look at his picture. I mean, we had pictures of him at our house, but Lisa was on all of them with him. I didn’t want to look at her. Before I knew it, it was time to leave for the holiday and I had to ensure that everything was intact at my business before I left. I finalized the land purchase for the shopping center and the contractors were already in place. I hired a project manager with an impeccable reputation to oversee the project. As far as Reilly Realty Services, Inc., “Ghetto Fab” was in charge and Haily didn’t like it one bit. I simply asked her if she was willing to do all the work Dee Dee does for the same pay as Dee Dee. She responded with a resounding ‘no’ and that was all I had to say about that. I made an executive decision and that was the end of it. If Haily didn’t like it, she could walk. I don’t have time to factor personal feelings and judgments into my business. I’m in the business of making money and anyone who is not about that has no place in my company. The fact is that we were going to be gone for over a week and I did not need anything to worry about while I was gone. I had enough on my plate dealing with this situation with Allen. I still didn’t know
