I’ll go pay for the meal.”
Did she truly believe that just wanted a
quick conquest? “You can run all you want Constantina, but there’s
no hiding place.”
***
Connie was working on a new client's file
when a flower delivery arrived. Beth brought the flowers back and
sat them on her desk looking at her with anticipation "What?"
"Well aren't you going to uncover them and
read the card." Sometimes Beth just didn't understand Connie. If
someone had sent her flowers, she would have been over the
moon.
The floral arrangement was
heavy and larger than her torso. She ripped off the tissue paper.
The beautiful arrangement of p ale pink
roses and Stargazer Lilies astounded her. No one had ever sent her
flowers before. She searched for the card, the message read ‘You
can’t run from fate!’ it was simply signed TG, for Thomas
Galvin.
"Who are they from?"
"Oh there just a thank you from a
friend?"
"Right! That arrangement must have costs
hundreds of dollars. He must be some kind of friend." Beth chuckled
all the way back to her desk.
The fragrance of the flowers permeated the
room, she had to get rid of them before Jenna and Samantha showed
up. They were taking her to lunch today and will be here any
minute. Connie picked up the arrangement and sat them on the break
room table. She picked up the tissue paper, threw it in the trash,
and palmed the card before she stuck it in her desk. Before she
could sit down Samantha and Jenna walked in her office.
“Hey girl, you ready for lunch? I sure hope
so; we have to get this pregnant woman some food, and fast before
she goes into premature labor.”
“Connie what’s wrong?”
“Uh, nothing. Let me grab my purse, and we
can leave.”
“We’re not leaving until I go to the
restroom.” Jenna took off her coat and waddled to the back
room.
If Jenna went to the back room, she would see
the flowers and Connie would never hear the end of their razzing.
“Jenna you don’t want to go back there my restroom’s not very
clean, why don’t you use the one at the restaurant.”
Jenna pushed Connie to the side, “Never mess
with a pregnant woman on a mission.”
Samantha perched herself on Connie’s desk
with a look of total disbelief on her face. “What’s going on?”
“Why would you think something’s going
on?”
“Connie we’re your friends, you just tried to
encourage Jenna to use a disgusting public restroom when you know
you scrub yours every day. So what’s in the back room that you
don’t want us to see?”
Connie tried to behave normally; she sat down
and started drumming her fingers on her desk. “You know me “I
always get agitated during tax season.”
Samantha shook her head, giving Connie a
knowing look. “Connie you’re the most level head person I know. You
can multitask better than anyone, but you’re no good at lying.”
Jenna came back into the
office area pulled her wallet out of her purse and handed Samantha
a twenty-dollar bill. “She hid them in the back room.” She turned
to face Connie with a look of disappointment. “Connie I can’t
believe that you would have me pee on myself than have Samantha
and I find out someone sent you
flowers.”
“Don’t look so surprised we saw the delivery
man pull off. We walked in the front door as Beth carried the
flowers back to your office. I bet Jenna twenty dollars that you
would try to hide them from us.”
Connie tried to act insulted, but Jenna and
Samantha’s good-natured ribbing wouldn’t allow her any peace. “I’m
glad you guys had a good time at my expense.”
Jenna sat down in a chair facing Connie’s
desk and began rubbing her belly. “Cut to the chase did that sexy
councilman send you the flowers?” Before Connie could respond, a
delivery guy from Jimmy John’s walked in.
“I have a delivery for Samantha Archer.”
Samantha paid the delivery guy, “you can keep
the change. Thank you!” She shut Connie’s door, handing Jenna and
Connie their sandwiches and
