"Jim," he said, "as soon you can after we land, get on your cell and call Bert Loehman at the office. Tell him I want him waiting in my office when we...get back. We need to meet with him today."The three men sat without speaking for a minute. It signaled that business details were over for the time being."Hey, Paul," Ted called out over the sound of the jet engines, "how's that lady-friend of yours in Chicago?"Paul let out a big sigh and shook his head."That's probably part of why I exploded. I wanted to be sincere and warm and kind--and above all non-threatening.So I went for funny instead. "That's strange," I said, trying to look thoughtful. "Guys don't really hit on me much at all! I guess a few times at the gym..."I let my voice trail off, looking puzzled, and Tommie cracked up. She laughed so hard she nearly spilled her soda, and I laughed with her. It was a nice moment.At the end of the night I left her at her apartment, and like the first time she gave me a kiss on the cheek.. When we got to their room, Marie told me to relax and enjoy, then she went into the bathroom and I could hear the shower go on, then Jean-Luc, asked me if I wanted a drink? I said yes please, and he made us a pot of coffee, while he was making the coffee he, touched me on the shoulder and whispered to me that I should go into the shower with Marie and wash off, he said she would love that, then as I walked away, he said, relax, and enjoy her, the he smiled.As I got to the bathroom, Marie. She smiles brightly at him before he leads her deeper into his home, “I just want to peel it off you right now,” Danny whispers in her ear as she sits on the couch. Even though they’ve been dating for almost a year now, his seductive blunt statements still cause her to blush.“So…what is this surprise of yours?” Meg asks, her curiosity bubbling up, and Danny laughs. He should’ve known she wouldn’t be able to contain her insatiable curiosity. It’s almost as bad as her insatiable sexual.
