The Boss's Ex Husband

Lunch

Down the three flights of stairs he says "That's a workout in inself!"

Melissa, "Yes but I still need to get in the gym today. I like to eat well so if I want to keep this ass I need to work it off"

To which he retorts " And a fine job you do on that". He looks at her, as her cheeks turn slightly pink. Thinking to himself ,this is going to be fun.

Ring* Ring* Her phone went off. She looked it said private number. She answered, Hello, no one was there. Wrong number she guessed. She was walking ahead of him to the parking lot and stopped, " I have no idea where we you are parked, or what you drive." He almost ran into her but slightly brushed up against her. As her 5'6" self looked up to the 6'4" frame, their eyes met. They both just stopped a second. The tension was definitely there. He walked past to a small little bullet looking Mazda, she thinks that's what it is, and said here we are. She looked at the little car, and back at him and said "Just how do you fit in this tiny car!" He walked to her door and opened it, saying "I like it, it's fast and with the traffic, well you'll see"

She was used to her truck.

As they drove he asked her what all she did at the shop. To which she said "everything." That Ms Miller didn't come out on the floor much and it was her job to make sure things run smoothly and products get out the door on time. Makeing sure they are making money. He was actually kind of surprised by that as his ex wife never let anyone run her shop before.

He spoke" You know I'm going to put in some new computer systems y'all ordered?" She swallowed and thought, Oh No! he's going to be working here! s**t!

Melissa" Oh fantastic that will help with the direction the shop is going. It can really help keep things in order and keep better track of our time.

He looked at her smiling, thinking to himself, this is going to be fun. I can watch her ass all day! "I can put everything together and put pin pads in the shop to log in jobs and time them. So we can keep track that way, of who does what and the time it takes"

Melissa was actually excited about the new system they'd put together. It would save her a lot of time for other things. But having him right there every day, she wasn't sure she could handle that. As they got to the restaurant from last night, she pointed to her lonely Silver Ford in the parking lot. "That's me". As he pulled up next to it. He looked rather sad. He didn't want her to get out of his car. He blurted out" Would you like to go eat lunch with me? I was going to go practice at the range 1st. I really like talking with you and I want to know your thoughts on a few things to do with the new system." He was really hopeful she said ok.

She said "What range and sure we can go after shooting . Are you going to Alex's place, out 59? I wasn't planning on much today. I dressed for the gym so let's not get to fancy unless I can go home and change."

He was stunned. A huge smile grew on his face as he realized he might just get to spend the day with her! He almost forgot to answer back. " Yeah! Let's go to Alex's then we can stop by your place and go to wherever. Should we stop at my apartment since it's right here on Highway 6 and leave my vehicle and you can just drop me off later? Or we could leave your truck there? Whichever you prefer "

Wow, Did he just tell her to go to his place? Oh geesh, her brain was about to collapse!.

" Yes sure, let's take my truck. Alot more leg room. Lead the way, I'll follow you" And off they went. They pull into a gated community of new homes. Nice place, how did he live here ? I thought he just came in town? So many questions flew through her mind.

He parked and pointed for her to pull in next to him. He grabbed a case from behind his seat and stepped from his little car. Opening her passenger door he picked his seat forward and put the case behind, then stepped in. He looked at her with a grin that looked like he was trying to melt her pants off, and said " I was hoping I'd get to spend time with you. I0 haven't met a woman that even interested me in the last 10 yrs" Melissa thought, did he really just say that? She was looking at his eyes wondering just what it would be like to smash his lips on hers , but she came to her senses. " I'm sure you meet plenty of women. I'm a little hard to get along with at times , used to being alone. I'm glad we get to talk today though, it should be fun. I needed a day at the range too" Smiling to herself thinking wow. I really could have said just me too!

As they pull into the range, they've chit chatted about dogs, horses and fishing. She was starting to wonder if he could read her mind or something!

He grabbed his case from behind her seat. She reach under her seat, then into the tool box in the bed, then walked around and pulled another little .38 out of the glove box. He just shook his head and though to himself, man I could have my hands full with this one.

As she walked in every guy in there tried to look. She was a beauty and men definitely noticed. As Stephen walked in behind her, he was looking at her and saw nothing else.

They got everything ready to shoot at the outside range. Of the 4 areas she loved being outdoors most.

He was impressed that she could handle her pistols like an expert. He had been in the Marine corps so firearms are tools. Use then often and keep in perfect condition. He told her that when they go back for her apartment to change before they go out, he would clean everything if she wanted. She told him they'd do it together. The smile he gave her about put her to her knees.

They finished up n headed out. Getting competitive they had taken longer than expected.

Once they parked at Melissa's, She ran up the stairs opened the door.

Ring *Ring* She saw Private number, said Hello, no one was there but the call was connected. She said I believe you have the wrong number. Again! what do you want! she said and hung up.

It took him a bit longer. Thinking to himself he'd either have to work on his legs or talk her into a ground floor apartment.

As he sat at the Kitchen table, she offered him coffee while he waited for her to change. He started to take apart all the pistols they used. She came out of her closet and asked" Um, where are we going? I'm trying to figure out what to wear" Ever the flirt and humorous person he was, he said naked is good we can hit the pool bar at the nude beach. " She was laughing and so was he. "But seriously, where are we going can I have a clue?" Texas Steak house came out of his mouth."Ok" she skipped back to the closest as he watched her smiling. She came out with a blueish tube top dress and a short Jean jacket and cowgirl boots to match.

He was impressed and couldn't stop looking at her. He had finished the guns and had gotten them ready to put back. They left out the door, she asked him if he wanted to drive her truck. "I don't mind you driving. If you drink during dinner I'll drive you back"

To herself she thought at least he's not the kind to always take the reins. Ring* Ring* private number again. She answered "Hello" no one talked, although the phone was connected. Stephen said,"What is that, by the look of your face it's a telemarketer" Click, the phone hung up. She looked at him, I dont know I've been getting weird hang up calls. It's happening so often. I'm ready to change my number!

Dinner was great. They spoke of everything from college to football, fishing to outer space. It was so easy to talk to each other. The tension was just growing more.
