know that I have a brain in my head for this work and see what I can do to make sure I will be a good asset to the team. I’ve already started winning over the drillers as they really didn’t see why the boss would bring in a Geologist but now they get it. I really am excited that I made the right choice in coming to Houston. Staying in New Jersey was going to bury me. Grabbing a bottle of water and putting the radio on for some background noise, I opened my laptop to start putting my presentation together. I plan on making this a long night.
Chapter 12 Damien
So I’m sitting at my desk, doing the outline for my presentation to the board when a message came thru to my phone. It’s from Selina. Well, I have to admit my heart did miss a beat when I saw it was her even though I know it’s a question about work. Seeing that she wanted to know how long her presentation could be and if she had access to power point, well that was easy to answer. To see that she was at a BBQ and met my CFO as well as her new assistant, I prayed that nothing else was said about me that she could connect the dots. I didn’t take her to be anything but an intelligent person that just one slip from someone and I would be finished before even starting with her. As I continued to answer the text, I knew I was in the clear. Running my hand thru my hair, I realized that this was a pretty shitty thing to have done to her but if things work out as planned, what a story to tell our kids, when they grew up that is.
Realizing how late it was, I saw that she was a workaholic like me. Another good thing in the right column. Lauren was anything but that. She wanted to be pampered and often. That got tired and quickly. But now I’m doing exactly what Selina might be doing. She might be comparing me to her fiancée and I’m comparing her to Lauren. That stops now. There is no comparison. Selina was the type of woman that I might have been searching for but we’ll see after her presentation on Tuesday. If I have to strong arm her as her boss, so be it. I’m not going down without a fight. I’ve already had a taste of her and definitely wasn’t done with her. Oh Hell, I’m not getting this report done now. Slamming the laptop cover down, I grabbed the remote and turned on the TV for something mindless to watch. Sleep was evading me; really, I’m a mess just thinking about her. Ok, a glass of scotch. That would help knock me out. Tomorrow is the picnic with my family and then Tuesday is here.
Chapter 13 Finished
Happy July 4 th to me! My report is all complete; the power point is all set. I’m so happy with how this report has come out. I can’t wait to start my new job. I feel energized just thinking about it. It’s three am and my body is starting to drag. Tomorrow is a day to finish unpacking and just relax before my big day at Stone Industries. The only thing missing is hearing from Damien. Who am I kidding that I could do a one night stand? That’s not me. When I think about how he took charge of us, how he sort of dominated me and how he made me feel, I just wanted more of him. But it’s impossible as I don’t know how to find him. Hitting my pillow in frustration, I hug it to myself and just resign myself to the fact that he could have been an amazing lover. I enjoyed the time we had together and am grateful for having that experience.
Chapter 14 Damien’s Parents
“Hey Mom. Hey Dad. Where are you guys?”
“In the back son.” I heard my Mom answer me so I walked towards their backyard where my parents are with my brother Richard, my sister Dawn and their spouses and kids. Seeing the kids throwing water balloons at my Dad and having him run around the tree to protect himself from the onslaught was a great sight to behold. Gone was the tough CEO when he ran the company to a good family man and Grandpa. Hugging my sister and brother, I was the
