It's been two weeks since that night at the club. Once she ran out, I made Eric leave and take me home. Recapped everything for him. He couldn't believe she was there. Yea buddy me either. Mom finally confessed she knew she was close, damn Linda was her best friend, of course she knew. I just never asked. I just assumed she stayed put after graduating. Mom says she has an entry level position at a business somewhere and she is really happy. Exactly what you want to here about your girl. Really happy.
Ethan starts school soon, pre-K, I cannot believe we are this point. Seems like yesterday he was just learning to roll over, then crawl. It goes so fast. I am thankful I have been here for all of it. We finally closed on my house. I have boxes every where, trying to organize and see what I need to buy. Some of the guys from the shop are coming by tomorrow to help with big stuff.
I have to travel to the lawyers office this afternoon to sign the last of the paperwork. Once that is signed, I will officially be divorced and Shelly can kiss my ass. I got the custody I wanted and she got the house. I am in a good place, that phrase keeps entering my mind. What the hell did she mean by it? Does it mean there's a guy making her happy?
I get off the elevator and see her. What in the hell? She's got a black skirt on, red shirt, and fuck me red high heels. She looks gorgeous. Her head is back, laughter coming out of that mouth.
"Can you tell Stephen I will be back for our dinner plans?" I hear her ask the secretary.
"Oh I am sure he won't let you miss those. He'll probably make me buzz you to remind you once he finishes with his last client. Have a good evening." I stay where I am, hoping she'll come by me so I can see her better. She works here? She's seeing someone who works here? Stephen, my lawyer, Stephen?
She starts in my direction, our eyes meet. She's not grinning this time. Her face looks like she could kill me. She quickly grabs my arm and moves me towards the elevator. "What in the hell are you doing here?" She asks. Man she wants me gone.
"I have an appointment with my lawyer. What are you doing here?" I know its obvious what shes doing here, but what the hell she can tell me. I put my hands in my pockets and tilt back on my heels waiting. I stare. I stare hard.
"I work here Jacob. My place of work. My area. My space." She hisses. She is about to turn when a hand comes to her waist. Stephen.
"Mr. Williamson," he holds out his free hand and shakes mine. "If you could give me a moment I will be right with you." He eyes Emma, he nudges his head towards a door. I guess he wants to talk to her. He could do it right here, I would tell him exactly who I am and how we know each other.
Jackass still has his arm around her waist when they disappear in that room.
