Irish Gem

Good kisser

Emily's POV.

"OK, ladies. Lacey is just taking notes so that we all know what is going on and agree with everything said in this meeting. " We nodded, and he continued, "Right so Roisin Slane. When the incidents that took place with you and Darren Bell, it has now opened a whole lot of different incidents." We looked completely confused. "It turns out there were three complaints. From Darren Bell AKA Dinger, through his department. So they dealt with it without investigation. His word against theirs. " He paused while Roisin and my eyes were bulging out of our heads. "While checking complaints, there was more against Chad Lambeg. One of his mates and one against Peter Scott, his other buddy, " he said with so much disgust on his turn tone. To say he was keeping it together was very clear. As I could have swore, steam was coming out of his ears. "You said 4 cases," I said without thinking, remembering the lawyer saying. "Yes. One of my interns left after three months two years ago after. Going to the Police Station, but after her interview She just disappeared. Paul was contacted by the police he asked Darren about the incident. But he said that they had met in a bar hooked up and didn't know she worked for the company. When he found out, he told her that there were strict company policies and it couldn't continue. He claims she was upset with him, and when he said no, she left the country." Daniel explained, "Where is she?" I asked. "The last address we have for her is in Dublin, but we're unable to contact her." He said. "And the others I contacted them myself." Daniel looked at me with sad eyes. "They are all standing statements by email. Some did make formal complaints at the time, but were dismissed because they were made all out to be liars, "Daniel said. Now, I'm getting really cross. I didn't ask anymore. And let Daniel wrap up the meeting. It was getting late and I knew everyone was tired. We ended the meeting as we were leaving, I asked Roisin and Lacey to give me a minute with Daniel. Daniel walked around the table when Lacey closed the door. "Daniel, I know you're really upset that this has been going on within your company. But you have got the b*******. OK," I said while touching his arm with my right hand, not realizing what I was doing. "Can I ask one thing from you, Daniel, please?" He looked me in the eyes, confused. "Give Lacey tomorrow off, please. She really needs it. " He smiles. "Yes, of course." He sighed, looking confused. The next thing I know, I'm hugging him. It just feels like he really needed it. I could feel his nose in my neck. And he has his flat palms. Moving up and down my back. My arms wrapped around his neck. We just held each other for minutes in silence. When we pulled apart, he smiled at me and kissed my head. And said, "Why has my life got so crazy? Since you have arrived"? He chuckled. "Never a dull moment when you're with me, babes," i laughed.

He smiled and then his face went cold. And he pushed me away. S*** what happened? The atmosphere just changed. "Sorry, I am so sorry for my inappropriate behaviour with you. After all, this is going on. I still hug and kiss my interns. I'm so sorry. Please understand that I have never acted towards any staff member or employing in this manner." He is bricking it, Oh crap. He's really annoyed "Daniel, please understand that I do not find you behaving inappropriately or invading my personal space. I'm sorry I made you feel bad, but I hugged you. Because you're a human being and looked like you needed it. I overstepped the line. Please don't think that way about yourself." I smiled. His eyes soften, and he just grinned and nods. "Are we OK?" I asked. "As long as you are, I don't know why I am so relaxed around you. And acting this way I do. Please let's not let this get out of hand, " he said with an intoxicating tone. "Please relax. It will not happen again. We have established our boundaries. OK," I smiled at him. He returned the smile. We leave the office. Lacey and Roisin were waiting in the waiting area. They both look exhausted. "OK ladies, thank you for your time today. Can you please take tomorrow off. I'll see you back on Monday," Daniel said. Lacey and Roisin looked delighted. I couldn't help smiled at them. It had been a tough few days and a lot more sh** to come. By the signs of it. As we all entered the elevator. Daniel turns to me, "See you at 8:00 AM Sharp, Miss Patterson." He smiles. I tut and rolled my eyes, saying, "Whatever." The ladies chuckle. Never mind, at least I was delighted that Lacey got a long weekend as she needed it so bad, and Roisin helped me so much today. My workload is halfed, so in all, I couldn't complain.

Six weeks had gone by. Dinger and his friends, chad and Peter, were suspended and then later sacked after they were all arrested for assault and s****l harassment. Their court dates were still pending. Daniel and I worked away the very best. Lacey told him she was pregnant to say he was happy was an understatement. He took us for lunch and had the lobby receptionist cover all his calls and messages. They were not happy. Sinead is still seeing Allie and Rosin. She was caught f******* paddy (the ra member on the run) at the bar a couple of times. Roisin has no standards. Sean has been the Irish flavour. For half the gay men of New York. The boy is spoilt for choice. I, well, I'm lonely. I miss home like crazy and I don't want a relationship, but I do miss not having to do myself all the time.

There was a man, Daniel. I think it was the safety net around us. He was the boss and I didn't want anything romantic. But he was just so safe, kind, and warm-hearted. My vibrate arrived off sss, and it was great. I had ****** myself so hard some days that I swear I was about to have aneurysm. But a woman's got to do what a woman's got to do.

It was autumn here, sorry, Fall, and it was bloody cold. It would freeze the balls of a brass monkey. I would hate to see winter. We're all getting ready for Mc Flanigan's Halloween party on the 31st. It's a Tuesday, so we're doing it on the Saturday before. I'm trying to save my money for a trip home for Christmas so I didn't buy an outfit. I just got some blackface pants and whiteface paints, a jumpsuit. With a zip from my neck to my navel. I bought myself some cat ears and a tail. And two fairy pompoms for to around the top of my knee-high boots at the dollars store. My outfit was complete. I was leaving work on Friday night when Chloe Brazier came down the hall towards me. Daniel's office door opened behind me. "Chloe, what are you doing here?" Daniel asked. "Seriously, Daniel, I know you've been missing me." She smirked, then turned to look at me. The look of discuss across her face, " What the f**k is that b***h doing here". She snapped at me. "B**** you need to know me before you earn the rights to call me B****, and that's not even going to happen Ho." I retaliated. "**** you Who do you think you're talking to like that?" Chloe was spitting nails now. "That's enough," shouted Daniel. "I have missed you," Chloe said, while trying to put her arms around his neck. He pushed her away and looked at me. "Chloe, what the hell are you doing?" He snapped back at her. "I missed you, and I'm tired of you making me wait for you to come back." She said all slutty like. "f**k this s**t I'm out of here". I said to Daniel as I turned "Goodnight Daniel" Closing my office door. Before leaving, "Wait, Em," he called, I turned. And looked at that b***. Eyeballing me "Why? What do you need this Tramp for. I'm here for all your needs," Chloe said. Close to Daniels throat. He didn't even defend me he just pushed Chloe behind him. He must have read my face and just said goodnight. Daniel knows if this ***** goes for me, I'll have her. That probably why he pulled her behind him. Forget this. I'm gone, I stepped out to the lift. Sean, Sinead, and Roisin were waiting on me.

I was so cross I told them all about what had happened on the way home before I know it we were at Mc flanigans not realize that we were here because I hadn't shout up. I was going to have a big blowout tomorrow night for Halloween, not tonight. "Why are we here?" I snapped. They all laughed at me and said, "This is where we go to drownd our sorrows, and after Daniel just cheated in front of you. We're here to comfort You," Sinead had said laughing. "Clear off b***h. He's not cheating on me because we're not a thing." I snapped. They laughed and brought me a drink. "**** him, **** her. Why was I so f***** at this sh**" asking no one in particular "He's my boss and that's it, but she's a hoe, s***, Skank, Trollope, b***h, Tramp. OK, you know what I mean?" Forget about it and just let the pints flow. The atmosphere is awesome and my friends are the best. Mickey sat up shots After shot, Who's Paying for this? Because I'm not I thought to myself. By the end of the night, Sean got a booty call by some of his male callers. Roisin is snogging Paddy and Sinead had sponged a cigarette of someone. Even know we don't even smoke. We are so drunk. We thought it would be a great idea. We're standing outside having a smoke. While, I bitched about Daniel and Chloe when someone came up behind me and says. "I didn't know you smoke," well, **** the bed I threw the cigarette away spun around to face Daniel. Well it was like being caught smoking by my mum and getting grounded for life. I snapped back "It was Sinead. It wasn't me," trying to be all innocent. "Thank you b****. I didn't make you do s*** " Sinead slarred behind me. "See Daniel, she's allowed to call me b**** because she has earned my friendship and respect. To say it to me. But I will not take it from your hoe." I slurred trying to stand tall but failing miserably. Daniel laughed, looked at the state of me and Sinead and overhearing Roisin trying to tell Paddy he was not coming home with her. "Would you ladies like a lift home". Daniel asked us without a second thought. Roisin, Sinead and myself were fighting to get in the car. I jumped in the front seat beside Daniel. "Suck eggs paddy" I shouted out the window, roisin slapped the back of my head. I spun around "Seriously Roisin what the hell do you see in him?" I asked her. "He's nice to me. He doesn't try to go too far and he's a good snog." She snapped back.

Daniel laughs "What's so funny?" I slurred at him. "You guys. He's a good snog. What's that about"? he asked. "Well here we go" I started. "Are you telling me that you have enjoyed every snog, kiss, frenchy in your life Danie"l, I asked sarcastically. "Well, no, not really." He replied. "Well, let me tell you something. Boss, it does not matter how sexy, Ridiculously good looking or beautiful. You are. Even on the inside, on the outside. If you are a s*** kisser, well, game over. No feelings, no lust, no desire it's over. If a man can't kiss the rest doesn't matter. 'cause the kiss means so much more". I smiled at the thought of his kiss and then I passed out.
