but she’s a bitch. I know that. I think I may have over compensated too much with indulging her. I wasn’t around very much when she was younger and after her mother and I split she didn’t really like wife number two, or three, so she didn’t come around much. It didn’t help that her mother was on a head-trip and used her against me in any way possible to get what she wanted. Unfortunately, the one to suffer was Carrie. As I said, I’m disappointed, but I do understand. The heart wants what the heart wants. So, what do you say should we change the name to Collins, McMillan, Oliver, Pratt and Sinclair?”
“I’d like that very much , sir. I won’t let you down.”
“I know you won’t . And Noah, all that stuff that I just disclosed stays doesn’t leave this room, understood?”
“Of course.” I stood up and shook his hand.
“I’ll have Mary Beth draw the papers up when she gets in. Why don’t you take the rest of the day off to celebrate . I had Nick clear your schedule in case I needed to fire you.” He laughed, but I knew he was serious.
“Thank you again , sir.”
I walked out of the room at a little after eight and called Segundo to come pick me up. We stopped for bagels and headed to Amityville since Jules didn’t have class until eleven today. At a quarter after nine we pulled onto the street and I had him stop at the corner so I could call Jules.
“Hey sexy.” She answered.
“Hey.” I said glumly.
“Oh no! What happened?” She gasped. I grabbed the bag and started walking up the street.
“He wasn’t happy to lose me as a son in law.” I said hamming it up.
“I’m so sorry Noah.” I knocked on the door. “Hold on someone’s here . It’s probably UPS for Ellie, I swear she orders more stuff from Amazon than anyone I know.” She opened the door.
“Surprise.” I said while smiling and holding up bagels.
“You’re looking awfully happy for someone that just got fired.”
“He didn’t fire me. He was disappointed to lose me as a son in law, but he hoped I’d settle for being a partner at the firm. I accepted.”
She squealed and threw her arms and legs around me.
“I’m so proud of you Noah. That’s amazing! It’s what you’ve always wanted.” I held her tight and subconsciously sniffed her hair like a weirdo. “It’s Philosophy’s frosted animal cracker shampoo.”
“I like it , but I still like banana better. I’m going to have to take a trip to The Body Shop and stock up. Are we going to eat these bagels? I’m famished.” I was so nervous this morning that I skipped breakfast and now I was starving. I even ate a Taylor ham, egg and cheese sandwich on the way over here.
“Yeah, yeah , hand them over.” I handed her the bag as she pulled out the bagels and she started putting cream cheese on them.
“So … while I’m here I wanted to talk to you about something. I was thinking we could go away, maybe next weekend? Jackson’s family has a house upstate and I think we could both use a break…”
“I’ll have to clear i t with Adam and get back to you but it sounds nice.” I walked up to her and lifted her chin so I could kiss her. I love her so much . “I thought you were starving.”
“I’m hungry for something else right now.” I said scooping her up bridal style and carrying her to what I’d hoped was her room. I opened the door and was surprised to see the room was painted sage green , her comforter and accents were either white or purple. I laid her down on her bed and slid off her pajama shorts. I dropped down to my knees and kissed my way up her leg until I reached pay dirt. I got to work savoring every inch of her. I remembered our first time when I tried to do this and she wouldn’t let me. I was happy she changed her mind because I loved going down on her. When I felt she was ready I took her tank top off and moved her further onto the bed. I quickly stripped out of my suit and climbed between her until I was in paradise.
