Irish Gem

feeling more then comfortable

I watched my movie, drank my wine, and stuffed my face with crap. I was out cold when the door was banging, I jumped up and looked at my phone. It was 3:30 am. I went to the door, and someone's kicking it. Then I opened it. I find Roisin, carrying Sinead "This f***ing drunking b***h belongs to you. I'm done F****** babysit" and she dropped her on my sofa and walked over to the kitchen. Well, OK, that's Roisin pissed off "What happened? Where were you's"? I asked "Some gay bar Sean wanted us to go to." She started, "It was good craic until he picked up some bloke and ****** off and left me with her, I lost her for an hour and then found her. Stuck down the side of the toilet boking her guts up". She took a deep breath and a cup of water.

Then she added. "To top it off. Three women kissed me. I'm not even f***** gay." I laughed at that. If there was one thing about Roisin, she doesn't speak up for herself and protest. She like a deer in the headlights. She was so cute. It was funny. "So fanny licking doesn't appeal to you." I laughed. "F*** you, it's not funny. I've pulled less man in my whole life, and in one night, I pulled three women. What's wrong with me. Do I look like a lesbian?"I don't know what does a lesbian is supposed to look like. If you mean butch then no, you don't look like a lesbian. I think you look more like a hooker. " I laughed, but that just got me a punch in the arm. Man Roisin can punch. She spent the night chatting and laughing. I told her all about Daniel and our meeting at the shop she thinks he's into me. I just laughed at the thought because I knew I wasn't going to entertain any men in that department. We all stayed at my place that night. When I woke up beside Roisin, we decided to put bacon on to make Sinead feel sick. That backfired because that b***h got up and ate it all before we even buttered the bread for bacon buddy's.

Sunday was fun. We all went for a walk around Central Park and got Lost twice, but it was fun. We got some wine and pizza and watched Love Actually agian at mine. It was so good to have the girls I really got so lucky. I called home and chat with mom and Dad. My sister had been texting me every day, about 10 times a day for pictures and gossip. But it was so nice not to rush a call and catch up.

Monday morning back to the office. Daniel looked like he was angry. I asked Lacey to see what was up. She said that his ex. had called to the office first thing and that had pissed him off. His ex girlfriend. "Oh, do tell me more" I said while we were hiding in the kitchen making coffee. "Well, Daniel was going out with a model Chloe Brazier. Her dad was a big man in business. And at the time we have a lot of contracts for his company. So she was always with him. That was just to get with Daniel. When they started dating. They seemed good together for the first year. But she was a real socialite, loved partying, and clubbing. Daniel was more into the business world and really was pushing to change this business round. After the way his father had left it. He did try to call it off after a year. But he was going to lose his contracts, but four months ago, he didn't care. He called it off, and her dad pulled his contracts. He didn't mind. He had already established this business and got it to where it is today." She finished. "So he was stuck with the woman. Doesn't sound like a very good relationship. Was she a real b****?" I asked?

"Honestly, she was horrible. She would come in here and treat me as if I were her personal slave. No manners at all." She added. "That's not Chloe Brazier, the model from the new Polo ads." "Yes, the same one," Lacey said. She was on every bus and billboard in New York. "Beautiful on the outside. Ugly On the inside, "Lacey finished.

I got the coffee for Daniel. I'm thinking of a way to cheer him up. I didn't like working in an office with an atmosphere. I knocked on the door. "Come in. Please," he added. Walked in with a smile. "Good morning, Sir. Here's your coffee served by your favourite intern. Made by your favourite secretary." He lifted his head and smiled. Good, I thought that cheered him up. "Thank you. And who said you were my favourite intern?" he replied with a smile. "I can read minds. You can't hide it. I am just that wonderful. " I chuckled. He joined me.

"Well, boss, how many hot dates do we have this week?" I said."Excuse me." he replied panicd look on his face. " "It wasn't meant that way, I'm joking you. I mean, dinner meetings. Do we have this week?" I corrected myself. God, this man can't take a joke. He smiled when he realized what I meant. "No business dinners this week. I have a ball go to in two weeks, but my sister Ruby wants to go an excuse to get a nice dress on and leave the twins," he said.

"OK, so many questions, one a ball cool. 2. No free drinks, huh? Three, your sister has twins." I asked. He laughed. "Yes, my sister has twins. A boy called Thomas, and my niece is called Tanya. They're seven years old, and I love hanging out with them." "OMG, no way. My brother and sister are twins Dylan and Daisy. But their 14 years old, so there's no fun to hang out with anymore. The only thing that they have any interest in Is the Internet or texting." I laughed. "I knew you had a brother and sister. I didn't know they were twins," he said. "They hate people calling them the twins. Dylan hates the fact that they did everything together growing up, and only when they went to high school they became their own people and not the twins. " I said while making air quotes with my fingers. We really were relaxed with each other, so start to get nosy and ask about Chloe.

He told me that she wasn't the nicest person in the world and had spreed bad rumours about him telling people that he had made her get an abortion to get him back for dumping her. That was awful, I thought. Why would anyone ever say stuff like that? But I did have to ask. "Well, is it true? Did you have her get an abortion?" He looked a disgusted that I even asked. "No, I ******* did not." He shouted it, I knew he didn't mean to, but it was a heated reaction. "I always use protection, and I would have loved kids with or without her." He defended himself. Which he didn't have to do. "I'm sorry I asked. It's really none of my business. You don't have to answer me, but I'm glad you did because I can see you really are a kind man. " My response seemed to calm him down.

I couldn't help but feel closer to him. I really did like Daniel. He was a good boss, hardworking, but kind and giving. He deserves to have someone to love him and is good for him.

Over the next two weeks, I only saw Daniel at work. He would buy me and lacey lunch as we were working so much with the new contracts and new clients. I was working on ideas for the new website as well as checking for new customers to sign. It was good and challenging work. I loved it. Me and the guys had made Mc Flanigans our new home. We could be found their most nights for a couple or a lot, but me and the girls did love our girly nights in. Pampering ourselves and talking s*** about boys and girls in Roisin case.

Man, we laughed about that night. Daniel spent time with his mom, so I didn't see or hear from him all weekend. The week had flew in, and before I knew it, it was Friday, the day before the charity ball Daniel and Ruby were going to. Lacey page me from the front desk. Ask me if I wanted a coffee. Great excuse to lift my head from my computer. We met in the kitchen, and we were having a quick chat when we heard a woman's voice come from the front desk. "We're you expected anyone," I asked Lacey. "No, no one. Page me from downstairs." We walked out to find Daniel with his arms around a blonde heard lassy. A bit older than him. "Hi, sis," he said. Oh, so this must be Ruby. "Hi I there baby bro." She answered him. They stopped their big hug and turned to see me and Lacey sticking out our heads out of the kitchen. "Hey Ruby," called Lacey. "So good to see you," she said. While going over and giving her a hug.

Ruby then turned to me and said, " The must be the Irish intern who picks on my baby brother." She chuckles. "Picking on him more like keeping him in check." we laugh at my outburst. "Well lovely to meet you, Ruby. Hi, I am Em." i said while holding my hand out. "I know who you are. My brother never shuts up about you and your antics. " "What antics? I'm a walk in the park. I'll have you know. " I joked back. "I like her." She sounds easygoing and enjoys a craic and banter. Daniel ordered lunch in for all of us, and we sat in the conference room. Lacey, Daniel, Ruby, and myself. We had such a good laugh. It was like hanging out with family.

After Ruby left, I finished what I was working on when Daniel came into the office and asked. "Do you want to go for a drink after work?" I looked at him strangely. He added, "As a thank you, for all you hard work this past couple of weeks, nothing else." "Oh, well, if it's not a date, you're still paying. Because there will be five of us and I'm not paying. " I smiled. "Five of you. Are you pregnant with triplets?" He said, trying to make a joke, haha."No. I just ate too much subway, that's why I'm fat. " I smiled now. This made him feel bad and quickly said "No I didn't mean you were fat. Sorry I.." laughing at his panic look was hilarious. He knew I was winding him up and looked at me with evil look in his eyes. I laughed some more. After I collected myself. "I'm messing with you. I'm meeting Sinead, Sean, and Roisin after work for a drink at Mc Flanigan's. If you want to join us," I asked.

"Oh right, OK. Yeah, if that's alright, I don't really drink with staff, let alone interns," he said. "Well, did you not just ask me out for a drink?" I said sarcastically. "To be honest, I kind of enjoy your company and with no business meetings right now I have spent 2 weeks with no after work contact with anyone" He replied, I looked at him in surprise. It was cute. He wanted to hang out with me. Like a friend, not like a boss. So I said, "OK, keep your hands to yourself. I don't want any funny business going on. You can now enter the friend zone. " He just laughed at me and said, "It will be tough. But I will try my best to handle myself." Cheekily, I am teaching him well to be quicker and better smart a**, I'm so proud.

We asked Lacey to see if she wanted to join us, but she said she had family coming over, so it was just me and Daniel. We left work together and mate the gang outside. "Daniel, this is Sinead, Sean and Roisin". I introduced them to Daniel. Their mouths hit the floor when I showed up with him. "The boss guys," I added. "And for one night only Daniel will be our friend OK," I finished saying. "Friend, oh, so we can be ourselves and not get into trouble," Sinead asks. "Yes, you're off the clock, and as long as you don't get arrested," Daniel said. "Can't promise you that not gonna happen," Sean said. We all laughed. We changed our shoes and started walking to the Mcflanigan's

The night was brilliant cracic. We all watched what we were saying around Daniel because when Sean, Sinead, and I got too much drink, we got really dirty well most of us, so we were just trying to be on our best behaviour. Having Roisin, there was a God sent because sometimes one of us said anything bad or rude. She changed the subject, our mood, after 2 pints, and 2 glass of wine the drink was starting to kick in. I enjoyed partying and having a drink, but I didn't want to get stinking drunk, so we went home. Sinead pulled some bloke, and Sean wanted to go to the gay bar. Me and Roisin said we were going home. Daniel looked relieved. I don't think he's a big drinker, so he called his driver and gave us a lift home. We're getting out of the car, when Daniel said. "Thank you, ladies, for being a friend for me tonight. It has been a while since I really enjoyed myself that much." "Anytime. You weren't too boring," Roisin said, and I just laughed and said "Later boss." and closed the car door and smiled as he drove off.

Saturday Lie in are the best, I thought when I woke up. Sinead had messaged to say that she had hooked up with some guy called Ali and was at his place. Hopefull, he wasn't a murderer or a serial killer or a stocker or r*****? But it was a really nice start for her. I just rolled out of bed, put some of last night's pizza in the oven for breakfast, and grabbed my book I bought to read on the plane. On the way over, but ended up getting drunk with Sinead. So today, I didn't have anything to do. So a cup of Barry's tea. Hopefully Mom will send teabags soon I thought.

With my blanket and a book. I read all day, then I realized it's 5:00 PM. Dame. I was getting really hungry. All I had was super noodles, bread, tin cans of soup, and beans. I didn't keep much food because Mcflangians made sure we always had something to eat. We all started a tab so we could pay weekly. First week, my bill was $250. Maybe I'll stay in for a night or two and see if i can save some money, Sean and Roisin were out, and Sinead was staying at Alys tonight again. So it was a good idea to stay in with my beans on toast.

After eating, I had a shower put on my clean pyjamas. I'm was watching Ocean's 11 on the DVD player. I grabbed a bag of popcorn and a bottle of cheap wine. I was heading to the sofa. For the rest of the night. Then there was a banging at my door. While pulling the door open with my month full of popcorn. I opened the door to find Daniel standing there in a tux, yummy yum. I thought my eyes near popped out of my head, and I was becoming aroused. My horn dog was barking up the tree in my head. Yes, please, it was shouting. Stop, stop thinking of s*x girl I thought.

"Hey, can you help me please? Ruby wee girl is not well, and she can't make it out tonight and Lacey said that she has family things. I can't go to this ball on my own. Please can you come with me?" Daniel said, all flustered. I stared at him while eating popcorn in slow motion. I was enjoying him begging me. This was fun. Then he said, "Stop watching me like you're watching a movie. Please help me out." I then realized I was doing it. That made me giggle like a little girl. "Are you laughing at me." Daniel snapped. " Yes, yes I am," I said. That just made him look angry at me, so I had to think fast. "OK, OK, if I do this, you had to do something for me." I responded. "What?" He looked scared.

"You have to take me sightseeing tomorrow around New York. And I'll treat you to dinner. " I negotiated. He raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Yes, yes, no problem. I'll even pay for everything, " he added. "You were gonna pay for it anyway." I smiled, "Fine hurry up and change. Oh **** do you have a dress?" He questioned me. With his frozen look of panic on his face. "Yes, but it's only a formal dress, so I'll hope this is not too fancy." I replied."Yes, brilliant. Oh, thank you now, go." I looked at him and said,"Have a seat on the sofa and do not go into the kitchen 'cause it looks into my bedroom. " I said while putting my wine and popcorn on the island and going to my room. I start to put my makeup on and straighten my hair. Put my formal black dress out. It was a satin full-length dress with thin straps and a spit up the right leg.

Putting on my only pair of strappy high heels that I have. I spread some perfume and put a pair of costume jewellery earrings that sparkled. I was ready. I stepped down the three steps and was ready to go in no time at all, Daniel's eyes looked dark at me, and his mouth dropped open. He just stared. Silence seemed to last forever, but only seconds when I said, "Stop drooling." He was making me aroused just by staring at me. I really needed these thoughts out of my head. Or I'm going to do something stupid.

"Sorry, but. Without a s****l harassment suit. I just want to say you look f****** sexy as hell," Daniel said. "Why, thank you, Sir. I do try to impress." I said in a southern country style American accent. He chuckled and took my hand, and kissed it. I curtsied like a princess. we both laughed and then left my flat.

We arrived at the Hilton hotel with a red carpet reception. With the paparazzi all over the place. Our car pulled up, and Daniel got out and took my hand. Cameras were flashing everywhere, and people called all kinds of questions to Daniel. "Who's your date, where Chloe? Is it true she had an abortion?" This was ridiculous. So we walked faster insight. We were met at the door by the host of the nights. He explained how to donate into the envelopes. Just a piece of paper with your details on and how much you wish to donate.

"What's the charity?" I whispered into Daniel's ear. "It's for women from abusive relationships and their children's welfare. That Have been abandoned or homeless due to no reason of their own," he whispered in my ear. He smelled so good. And his breath tickled my ear, which made me giggle, he notice and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean to tickle you." I smiled and for some reason I said "Don't worry, I enjoyed it". What the hell was wrong with me? I was flirting with Daniel. Thankfully, some tall, blonde, handsome man came over to meet with Daniel. "Tony, how is it going?" Daniel said. I tried to brush off what I had said.

Tony just looked like Thor yummy. What is wrong with me? Woman, that's it. Tomorrow I'm buying a vibrater. I need some relief. This built-up s****l tension is killing me. Thor, sorry Tony was having a good chat when Daniel said "Tony this is my friend Emily from Northern Ireland." He didn't call me his intern, but his friend. OK, two weird. "Well, an Irish lass. Welcome to the Big Apple. How the hell did you end up with this guy? Do you not have any standards?" He chuckled at his own joke. I couldn't help myself. I said, "Blackmail is a great thing." I smiled. "Oh, so he has you against your will." He added, "No, I'm blackmailing him. To be my tour guide around New York. In return for my body." That was dirty but fun.

Daniels eyes nearly popped out of his head at my comment but just laughed and said, " Now, You can't be telling everyone Our little secret," he winked at me and it made me laugh very loud. I didn't care. We were having fun. And I was loving it. We went to one of the tables while Daniel pulled out his chair. His face dropped. I followed where his eyes were looking to see a beautiful Chloe Brazier sitting with a couple of old men.

She was firing me daggers and looking like she wanted to pull my hair out of my head. I smiled a big, toothy smile and waved. **** you I thought, you're trying to destroy someone's life by telling lies just because he dumped you. Get over yourself. I held Daniels hand without thinking and whispered in his ear. "You're better than her. Just sit down and remember you're here to make everyone know you're a better person and still are a professional businessman with a sexy Irish woman." I kindly stated, he laughed and smiled right at me and said. "Thank you for being here." And guided my hand and kissed my knuckles. Oh my, I like that. Stop, stop, stop, not tonight. Think of something else, please. We sat through the speeches and the meal when it was over, Daniel said he had to speak to a couple of people. I said I needed the ladies and would come find him. After three glasses of wine. I needed a pee. When I came back out. Everyone was up socializing with each other while the band was playing, and some people were dancing. I couldn't find Daniel anywhere after 15 minutes. I run into Tony. Well, Tony was something else. He started talking about himself, his businesses, and his money. Please, Irishmen have standards, and this guy was a d**k with a capital D. While he was talking s***, I saw Daniel at the corner of the bar with Chloe. They were really going at it after 15 minutes he walked away. From her, and she screamed a little. And stomped off the other way.

"Hey Tony. I know you have a small p***s and need to talk all this s*** to make you feel better about yourself. But if you just stopped the steroids, it might grow back. So stop talking s*** and go pay someone to f*** you. " I said with a smile and walked away before he could even open his mouth. He deserved it. I went to look for Daniel. I had lost him again. I spent the next hour looking for Daniel trying to avoid everyone because I knew if I spoke, it would be another interview over and over again.
