Instead of spending the night on Friday or Saturday, James stayed the weekend. Often during the week, my brother and I would call for pizzas when she ...tayed late with James. James was putting a dent in my activities with my mother. I liked him, but I liked being with her. I took to going to her bedroom on Sunday afternoons when she came home.Finally, one Saturday she met with my brother and me. James was going to move in with us. She thought it would be great for us to have a father again. Even. Well we chatted away and met many other friends but Joe never left my side for more then a moment. I guess you could say we were flirting with each other but it felt so good to have a man look at me like that. Every time I glanced at him I would catch him looking at me. After the last few months of getting no attention at home I was so happy that Joe was there.The night flew by as talked and had dinner. After dinner he asked me to dance, we danced for quite a while and then a slow song came on. You let one of your staff handle it.”Chad laughed, “Oh, yeah, one of my staff. You’re the best, Karenna. Thank you!”“You’re very welcome, Chad,” she said. “I’m proud of you for not screwing this up.”“Before Reina, my life was a series of questionable decisions with a few good ones here and there,” he commented. “Hiring you was one of those smart choices. Trusting you enough to become best friends was even smarter. I hate that I can’t handle that bitch on my own. But knowing I can trust you to. No, I won't. I'm just wondering why you told me, really," I said.She smiled that cute smile of hers."It's simple, really. I read your stories. You're the male Zane. This is nothing. Nothing. Now what was that condition? I'm just curious." Don't worry about it, Ash. Just let me touch that booty once in a while," I said, semi-jokingly.She giggled."You're so silly," she said. She turned back around.***And so, I kept Ashley's dirty secret. It stayed in my thoughts and dreams for a long time. Before.
