Jessica entered the boardroom and noted the serious demeanor of all the employees. As she began to wonder if something was amiss, Todd stood and greeted her with a big smile.
"Don't mind us Jessica; we were just working out some things before you arrived." Todd pulled a chair out for her before taking the seat beside her. With introductions out of the way, Jessica began her cost benefit analysis for moving to a full implementation for Todd's team; her engineer, Jeff, provided the technical solution review.
Lunch arrived to the boardroom and the team took some time to socialize while they ate. Todd's IT Manager, Trevor, pulled a chair up beside Jessica and immediately dove in to a conversation about the weather in the north. Jessica appraised Trevor; his big handlebar mustache was littered with grey to match his shortly cropped hair. As they talked, she couldn't help but think he stepped out of a historic Italian village. Todd joined in on the small talk forcing Jessica to ensure that both men received her attention.
The meeting wrapped up late in the afternoon with a conversation about dinner plans. Once again, Jeff intended to avoid the suits and offered to take the technical guys out for dinner.
Jessica smiled and looked at Todd and Trevor, "Apparently we are on our own tonight." They all laughed. Todd wrote the name and address of a restaurant down. The decision was made to meet there at 7.
As they rode back to the hotel, Jessica teased Jeff, "You always leave me alone with these guys!"
"What can I say? Not my idea of fun, hanging around a bunch of suits; I keep the techs happy and you keep the execs happy."
Jessica gave him a playful nudge, "Your dinner dates aren't thinking about having sex with you."
Jeff blushed, "I sure hope they aren't."
In her hotel Jessica sorted through her closet thinking about what to wear. She decided that conservative would be the right choice after the way that Trevor was eyeing her up during the meeting today. Black slacks and her emerald green blouse would do the trick with a pair of low heels. Looking in the mirror she gave herself a nod before heading to the bathroom to fix her hair and makeup.
Jessica made her way through the lobby and climbed in to a waiting cab. En route to the restaurant she checked her messages to find she had two new ones. Josh and Jack had both left voice mails.
Jack's message was first, "Hey Baby girl, hoping to see you tonight. Send me a message when you get in; it doesn't matter what time."
Josh's excited voice sang in her ear, "Well? No update? You can't keep a husband waiting on juicy details. Call me when you can okay? Love you."
Jessica called Josh back, "Hi baby."
"Have you met up with Jack?" Josh's excited voice danced in her ear.
Looking up, she saw the driver's eyes watching in the mirror, "Yes dear, I had a short visit with Jack."
"Oh my god! Did he fuck you? Did you let him fill you with cum?" The questions ran in to one another.
Jessica couldn't help but laugh, "Yes and Yes."
Josh began to get frustrated, "DETAILS!"
"I'm just in a cab on my way to dinner with clients. I will give you a call after and check in okay?"
"Okay, okay. Don't forget though okay?" Josh's was clearly disappointed.
The taxi pulled to a stop and she made her way in to the restaurant; Todd waved her over. Both men stood as she arrived at the table and Trevor pulled a chair out for her between them. The three sat sipping wine and sharing stories about their interests until the meal arrived.
After eating a delicious lobster tail dinner, they finished up with dessert and coffee before calling it a night. Todd offered to drop her off at the hotel and she couldn't help but think it was déjà vu. Todd was handsome and she found herself wondering if he was packing the kind of heat that Steve and given her on vacation; in fact, most of the time black men made her remember the pleasure that Steve had given her.
On the drive back to her hotel, Todd's phone rang and he picked it up on the speaker of his car, "Todd Abrams."
"Hey Todd" Jessica recognized Jack's voice immediately. "Are you free for a drink tonight?"
"I'm just driving Jessica back to her hotel. Where do you want to meet?" Todd was nonchalant.
After a thoughtful pause Jack replied, "Why don't I meet you at the lobby bar in Jessica's hotel? We can all grab a drink together."
Todd looked questioning at Jessica, "You in?"
"Sure." Jessica smiled.
Jack's voice boomed happily, "Okay then, I will see you guys there in fifteen minutes or so."
