Then she walked in the back where one day would be completed offices and four sound booths.
“You behaving?” Abe whispered.
I looked at him and said nothing.
“You better not fuck this up. Your brother almost had himself in deep shit. He attended a few sexual harassment classes…”
“Lot of good that did him,” I laughed. “In Italy, I walked into Momma’s vineyard home and Bekah was tied to a wall.”
Abe tried not to react, he tried real hard to keep a poker face, but fuck if he didn’t look like he was intrigued by the idea.
“You into that shit too?” I laughed.
“That’s none of your business.” He hissed.
“Neither is my dick standing at half mass every time she’s around…”
“Xavier…”
“Half. I’m not fucking stupid Abe. Besides she’s in love,” I batted my eyes. “Love just fucks things up.”
“Like what?” Abe chuckled.
“Variety.”
“Xavier?” Taelyn called from the back as she walked out. “Did you file the paperwork to register your business?”
“Yep.”
She walked out with a notebook in her hand and a pen. “Oh really? What are you calling it?”
“Forever Four.”
She smiled so big it nearly caused a situation in my pants.
“Really?”
“Yes, really. It was a great name.”
“Did you come up with it Miss Patrick?” Abe asked.
“No, not really…”
“She did.” I patted her back.
“Only because you spoke about it with such passion.”
If I were the type of guy to go after another guy’s girl I could’ve had her. Passion. Taelyn likes passion.
“Alright I’m heading upstairs to lock up my office. See you both tomorrow?”
“See ya Abe. Tomorrow is Friday. Week two down Taelyn. You have plans for the weekend?”
“Daniel is coming to see me.”
“Harvey?”
She rolled her eyes and I laughed.
“Dr. Love?”
She smacked me and laughed.
“You’ll be a totally different woman on Monday Taelyn. You’ll probably be skipping when you come in.”
“You’re over stepping.”
“That’s over stepping?” I gasped.
“Yes a bit.” Her face started to turn pink.
“Because I know you’ll be getting laid this weekend?”
“Oh my God.” She closed her eyes.
“I will be getting the same thing. There does it feel better now?”
“No, yes, I don’t know!” I couldn’t help but laugh. “How does your girlfriend feel about you working so much?”
I just look at her. I want this shit to sink in, “I don’t have a girlfriend.”
She didn’t miss a beat, “Oh one of those.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
She gave me a mock sultry look, “There’s just too much of me to go around.” She ran her hand down the front of her.
Full steel ahead, son of a bitch!
“Harvey used that line on you?” I walked into the back towards my desk. I needed to sit down and hide this shit.
She laughed as she followed behind me. “Of course not. He isn’t like you guys.”
I sat down and my pants were a bit too damn tight for my liking. “Us guys? You listening to office gossip?”
She sat and her face turned pink again. That’s right, take that.
“No.” Her voice squeaked. “I have brothers just like you.”
