learning to live again

learning to live again ch 9

Walking into my office feeling relaxed after getting everything unpacked and finally sleeping in my own

bed I enjoyed the campouts in the living room with the girls but something about having a giant pillow

top mattress that feels so great I put my things in my closet and my phone rings I groan to myself oh

don’t let it be a busy day

i pick up the phone and say hello this is when all of a sudden soap suds are shooting out of the ceiling i

let out a scream is

I pick up the phone and say hello this is when all of a sudden soapsuds are shooting out of the ceiling I

let out a scream is shock my office is now covered in soap people are gathered outside my office like

watching me like I’m about to start singing Mr clean R Robert ducky song Sarah comes in pushing

through the crowd to my rescue as we try and salvage my office and my phone starts ringing God not

again I promise I am a clean girl

Sarah says something about the phone no I try and stop her but it’s too late the floodgates have opened

otherwise known as my ceiling has started to shoot off soapsuds again Oh well played Mr beefcakes well

played

As I switch around in my wet shoes and look at Sarah who’s standing near a laughing Mr beefcakes and I

whisper this is war on the slow cold wet drive home I think how cruel I was to drop my phone in his

coffee I should apologize put an end to this I make it in the house and in the bathroom and I look in the

mirror and I look like a cat that just went through a car wash and not be in the car he deserves

everything coming to him I come up with a plan not a great plan but a good one going to have to find

where to order a large rolls of cling wrap and order them in bulk

For now I will have to play nice

I make it back to work and get settled into my temporary desk when Mr beefcakes walks up with a smirk

on his face hi I am Mr. Brooks I think we got off to the wrong start would you like to have lunch

that's very nice of you but i missed a great deal of time today so rain check

that’s very nice of you but I missed a great deal of time today so rain check I’m sure anytime as he walks

off I sit here for a minute and think oh **** that's the big boss the owner the man who signs my

paycheck oh god i could get fired i mean i had some savings that could hold us over until i find a new job

oh God I could get fired I mean I have some savings that could hold us over until I find a new job I doubt

that I could work for another publishing company

I would have to settle for something with less pay less pay we couldn’t afford that to end diapers to a

daycare oh God would be homeless or worse we’d have to live with my mother and cringe at the

thought run retreat move change your name don't do this think other girls retreat the girls the girls no I

will not retreat Mr beefcake soaked my office don’t my coffee all over me is game on

It’s been a few days since my office got a good washing every day mr beefcakes has sent flowers saying

sorry lunch

Every day Mr beefcakes has sent flowers saying sorry lunch dinner as tempting as those deep blue eyes

are and his huge biceps now I’m sticking to the plan but on the other hand if we go out to lunch I could

find out What Car he drives and I could put it to use with my clingwrap plan nice sneaky
