"Goodman!" A strong male voice exclaimed from behind my back. I swiveled my chair to find my boss standing just outside my cubicle.
With a tentative smile I replied. "Yes sir what can I do for you?"
"It's the middle of November and you still have nine days of vacation to take. Remember you can't roll them over to next year." He reminded me.
My ex always planned our vacations and since our divorce I really hadn't thought about taking any time off. "I'll take a look at my calendar and see what I can do." I replied.
"Just make sure we have coverage in the region while you're gone Allen." He stated.
"Will do." I replied as I turned back to my desk.
Nine days of just hanging around my apartment didn't sound very interesting so I started thinking about where I could go to get away.
I knew it would be almost impossible for Kay to get away from her shop for that long but I figured I'd talk to her later that evening and see if she could do a long weekend.
An early winter nip was in the air and the setting sun had the wispy clouds in the sky ablaze with colors as I pulled into the parking lot outside my building.
Kay's apartment was still dark when I stepped out on the balcony after pouring myself a scotch and water. I'd wait until she got home to call her about joining me on a mini vacation.
I went inside and re-heated some Chinese take-out from two nights before in the microwave and refilled my drink. As I was about to sit down at the table to eat my cell rang. It was Kay calling.
"Hi Kay." I said adding, "How was your day?"
"Oh Allen I had such a horrible day." Kay said obviously still upset about something that had happened.
"Wanna talk about it?" I asked.
"Actually I really need a hug." Kay replied. "Can you come over?" She asked.
Of course I jumped at the chance to rescue her from her horrible day. "Absolutely give me ten minutes." I replied.
My Chinese left overs went back in the frig, and I took a healthy gulp of my scotch before grabbing a jacket and heading for the elevator.
I wondered what could have Kay so upset. She sounded like she was almost in tears. I had hoped to suggest we take a vacation together but I figured I'd have to put that off for now.
I dashed between traffic on the street and made my way into her building. The elevator guided to a stop at her floor and a moment later I knocked lightly on her door.
Kay opened the door and took a step back. She was wearing a lavender cowl neck sweater and black slacks. The slight flare at the bottom of her slacks rested perfectly on the tops of her black heels. She had her wavy red locks pulled back in a pony tail that was slightly offset to one side. Her eyes had the glisten of fresh tears in them.
"You okay?" I questioned as I stepped inside and closed the door.
As we moved closer together and she extended her arms I noticed her chin twitch ever so slightly. Kay melted into my arms and whispered. "Just hold me for a minute please."
I pulled her close against me and slowly moved my open hands up and down her back trying to comfort her as she let the anguish of her day slowly ebb.
She smelled divine and felt even better pressed against my body.
I turned my head and kissed her ever so softly on the temple. "Do you want to sit down?" I suggested.
Kay slid her hands up my back and curled her fingers over my shoulders as she turned to look into my face. Her eyes sparkled with fresh tears and one tiny droplet escaped slowly rolling down her cheek.
I kissed the tear from her cheek bringing a half-hearted smile to her lips.
"Come with me." I said taking her delicate hand in mine and leading her across the living room to the large overstuffed chair opposite the sofa.
I sat down and pulled her into my lap. Kay instantly curled up and cuddled against me her silky smooth cheek resting on my shoulder.
A relaxing sigh escaped her lungs as I gathered her hands in mine.
"Tell me what has you so upset?" I asked.
"Allen, I could lose the store." She began quickly adding. "I don't know where I'm going to get the extra money."
Thoroughly confused I replied. "Lose the store, why Kay?"
Kay continued. "My landlord came in today and told me he's raising the rent $500.00 a month. I'm barely making it now at $1,000.00 a month.
I knew how much her store meant to Kay and could understand why the idea of losing it would upset her so.
"Did he give you a reason?" I asked figuring he was just being greedy.
"He told me the taxes went up this year and he did some research on what other store fronts are bringing in the neighborhood." Kay explained.
"That's a pretty big jump when is the increase taking affect?" I asked.
"On the first of the year." Kay answered.
I smiled and suggested. "Well we've got sixty days to figure out how to increase your monthly sales by five hundred dollars."
"Good luck doing that." Kay remarked. "The second hand furniture business isn't what it used to be Allen." She added.
"Kay my job is marketing. Whether its women's sports apparel or used furniture marketing is marketing I'd be happy to try and help you increase sales." I offered.
"You would do that for me?" Kay asked looking up into my eyes and smiling a little more widely.
With a devilish grin on my lips I replied. "I'd be happy to, but I would expect some compensation."
Kay smiled widely and wiggled her hips a little. "Well money's tight so I wouldn't be able to compensate you in cash."
"I didn't have a monetary compensation in mind." I replied as she ground her ass firmly against my groin.
Kay continued massaging my growing erection with her soft ass as she whispered. "I suppose you'll want to fuck me anytime you like as compensation for your help?"
My wide smile acknowledged that she was on the right trail but I added. "Yep with an occasional blow job thrown in as a bonus."
My hard cock was now pressing up against her ass and she continued grinding on it as she remarked. "Well considering I'd suck and fuck you anytime you wanted anyway I suppose that arrangement would be a win /win for both of us."
"I like win wins." I quickly replied.
I could tell from her eyes that she was also becoming aroused and wanted me as much as I needed her.
Kay slowly slid off my lap and stood between my spread thighs.
