Chapter 10 β Corporate Perks
As the next week progressed I began to get a little worried. It was already Wednesday night and I had not heard from any of the ladies in the game since my encounter with Brooke on Saturday. I was nervous that Leslie was upset over my answer that Emma was a better lay than she was since I did not think she had given me her best yet. I knew she heard the answer based on the remark she made as I was leaving her house. Where was her head at though? I had no idea and it was fucking with me.
Thursday passed and brought nothing, not a call; email, text message, nothing. If there was a problem I was sure that Penny would reach out to me to keep me in the loop, but so far she had not. I was concerned and growing somewhat lonely. I hoped I was over thinking things, but feared that I was not.
Finally, on Friday night I was sitting at home, going out of my mind, when contact came. My cell phone started to ring, indicating that I had a new text message. I scrolled through the phone to retrieve the following message:
Pack a change of cloths and be at my house at 6am. L
I was excited and disappointed at the same time. I was going to be doing something tomorrow morning, but I did not talk to Leslie so I was still unsure if she was upset at me or not. My mind raced as I grabbed my travel bag out of the closet and began to fill it with cloths and certain travel items. I set my alarm for 5am, enough time to shower and get to Leslie's by 6. I drifted off while lying in bed watching the ballgame.
The alarm rang, waking me instantly. I showered and dressed quickly. I grabbed my bag, threw it in the car and was off. I arrived at Leslie's as the sun was just coming up. I hated to ring the bell this early, but I was instructed to be there so that's what I did. Mindy answered the door, wearing a pink tank top and pink and black pajama pants that were rather adorable.
"Come in," she yawned.
I entered the house and dropped my bag in the center hall.
"Leslie is still getting ready," Mindy informed me. "Do you want some coffee?"
"Love some," I responded.
I followed Mindy into the kitchen where a fresh pot of coffee was waiting. She poured me a cup and I leaned against the counter while I drank it. She also poured herself a cup, which made me think she might be a little young for coffee, but then I reflected on my own high school years and tried not to be a hypocrite.
"Any idea what we are doing today," I asked her, trying to be casual.
"I am sure Leslie will fill you in on the ride," she stated.
"I take it that you are not coming with us today," I presumed.
"Nope," she replied, almost sounding thankful. "You two will have to get by without me."
"Then why are you up this early," I inquired.
"Leslie woke me to critique her attire," she admitted. "I am going back to bed as soon as you two leave."
I laughed as I sipped my coffee. I'm not a big coffee drinker but I thought today was a good day to fire back a cup since I had no idea what Leslie had in store for me. I heard her rustling around upstairs as Mindy and I stood in the kitchen. Finally, it sounded like she made her way to the stairs and was descending. A moment later she emerged in front of us.
"You look like you are ready," she greeted me.
She was wearing a lovely red suit, the jacket matching the skirt, which fell midway on her thigh. She had on a black, silk blouse underneath and matching black pumps. The blood started to rush to my groin just seeing her.
"I feel underdressed right now," I admitted.
"You're not," she allowed.
Just then there was a horn honk from the front of the house.
"That's the car," Leslie announced. "We should go."
She kissed Mindy on the cheek and headed for the front door. I placed my coffee cup, still 1/3 full into the sink and followed her. I grabbed my travel bag and her very large, apparently very full duffle bag and followed her out the front door.
There was a large black limo waiting for us at the end of the walkway. The driver opened the door for Leslie as she approached. As she disappeared into the vehicle, the driver collected the bags from me and headed for the rear of the car. I climbed into the car and closed the door.
Leslie sat next to me in the back of the car. She looked gorgeous and I was sizing her up when she began to toy with me.
"Aren't you going to ask where we are going," she pressed.
"I figured when you wanted me to know, you would tell me," I replied.
"Sometimes you are too confident for your own good," she frowned. "You take some of the fun out of things."
"I'm sorry," I mocked. "Hey Leslie, where are we going?"
"You're a dick," she laughed at me. "Actually, we are meeting Emma and Jack at the airport. Emma and I just represented a very large Seattle based video game company in a trademark infringement suit. The CEO was so impressed with our work, he is flying us to Seattle on his private jet for the day. We will be sitting with him in his private box at the Mariners game and then have his limo for sightseeing the rest of the afternoon. We will take his plane back home tonight."
"Wow, that is awesome," I admitted.
"It really is," she agreed. "You just have to remember that you are a consultant. Both for Mr. James and for Emma's husband."
"I see," I said. "Well, I am a team player, so that should not be a problem."
"Good," she responded. She snuggled in close to me in the seat. "If you are a really good boy, I might have something else special in store for you."
I was not even going to ask what that could be. I smiled as she kissed my cheek, neck and ear lobe. She then sat back and began fixing her make-up. I watched in delight, as she was an exceptionally attractive woman. I was almost lost in watching her when the car came to a stop.
The driver stepped out and came around to open the door for us. I stepped out of the car and then reached back to assist Leslie in getting out. It was a great way to get another look at her terrific body. This woman had me hot almost all the time now. She personified sexy.
