how was your
weekend?”
    “Oh you know, same shit different day.”
She rolled her eyes.
    Jake snorted. “That good
huh?”
    “Yeah well, I’m still not convinced
that the entire male population are not all jackasses…no
offense.”
    “None taken.” Jake offered.
    “Other than getting dumped by a cage
fighter, it was uneventful.” She said sarcastically.
    “Either way Eliza, there is always
promise for a better weekend next time.”
    “We shall see.” She
muttered.
    “Oh hey by the way Gabe is stopping by,
will you let me know when he shows up?”
    “Oh goodie, the king of jackasses is
coming today, let me get my fan, I might swoon.” She said
dryly.
    “He’s not that bad Eliza.”
    “Compared to what? Getting a limb
hacked off by a chainsaw, or someone making a skin suit out of
you?”
    “Just get me when he comes
please.”
    “Sure thing boss.” She gave him a
salute.
    Jake went into his office and shut the
door; he hoped that when Gabe did show up, he would take it easy on
Eliza. She threatened to quit so many times before after Gabe made
annoying advances on her. He talked her into staying of course, his
powers of persuasion were epic, but she was one headstrong woman,
and he admired her brass.
    Around noon Eliza’s voice came over the
phone speaker. “Mr. Bradford, the almighty powerful Gabe is here to
see you.” He could almost see her rolling her eyes.
    “I’ll be out in just a minute
thanks.”
    When he reached her desk, Gabe was
sitting on the corner, yet again harassing her. “Would you leave
her alone for fuck sake Gabe?”
    “Sorry, I was just asking her out.”
Gabe gave an innocent pout.
    “Yeah sure you were.”
    Eliza interjected. “Actually Mr.
Bradford he was just asking me out.”
    Jake was stunned to see her smile at
the gesture of him asking her on a date, and his own lips lifted in
a smile.
    “Hmm, that’s a step up for you Gabe,
are you sure you weren’t abducted by aliens last night?”
    “Hey fuck you man!” Gabe
snapped.
    Jake threw up his hands in a sign of
defeat. “Okay jeez, calm down. Do you have what I asked
for?”
    Gave shoved an envelope in Jakes
direction. “Yeah here.”
    Jake opened the envelope. “There are
two invitations in it.” Jake said confused.
    “So, take a fucking date.”
    “I don’t want to take a
date!”
    “Fine, take me; I have no obligations
Saturday night. Plus if you are planning on scoring some high class
pussy, you might need your trusty wingman.” Gabe winked.
    Jake pondered the idea, and
figured taking Gabe wouldn’t be so bad, he would know more about
networking with those kinds of people anyway. They were more in
Gabe’s class of
people.
    “Yeah I guess you’re right.” Jake
sighed.
    “Sweet! It’s a date.”
    “Ugh gross, could you two continue your
bromance somewhere else? I’m trying to eat lunch here.” Eliza
interrupted.
    Both men threw their heads back and
laughed.
    “Well gotta go, I’m meeting
my parents for lunch, something about my grandfathers will…and of
course the “ Gabe you’re a major fuck up ” speech as
usual.”
    “Alright talk to you later.”
    Gabe left his office, and Jake noticed
Eliza watching him depart. He wanted to say something to her, maybe
warn her about Gabe, but the reality was, she already knew about
the infamous playboy.
    Jake took the invitations back to his
office and laid them on the desk by his laptop. He went back to
reviewing case files, and would look up at the envelope every so
often. Every time he did, the anticipation would clench his
stomach, and make him nervous. He tried to calm himself down, from
the thoughts of getting to see Emily in just under a
week.
    Would she remember him? He truly hoped
she did, because he never forgot about her.

    “Finally Monday morning.” I said to
myself sleepily, as I rose from my comfy bed. I was awash with
eagerness for my first day of work. It was like my new life plan
was all falling into place, I loved it thus
