As if I didn’t already have a lot on myto Andrew complain about his business and all the errands he has to run I get it, he’s, ether, but still, you would think he could see that I aht now I mean, the door to my office was shut, and I haven’t answeredI understand we need to vent soht now

I sigh, as I listen to Andrew talk about the things he has to do I stop paying attention when he mentions the words ‘flower shop’ That is the absolute last place I want to be right now “Fine, let’s go ” I coure it’s easier to let andrew talk, then et it all out of his system and I can concentrate on my problems As we step outside, I a to dislike it here Icity I don’t knohy Andrew decided to move our business here from the silicon valley

There is nobetter business back in California “So anyway…” Andrew continues talking as alk I look at hin interest in the conversation “Not only do i need to get flowers for mom’s birthday”, he explains “I also need some for an employee who is back from maternity leave and needs a place to puetsaround the office that Andrew flaked out on getting a pu room for her until now that she’s back Apparently hiuh I have to send her flowers as an apology, I still bla me about her needs earlier” He complains

I try not to laugh at hihtened my mood a little Andrew drones on about the business, but I’ in this s I’ city life and all the distractions that it offers Especially those of a kinky sexual type Whenever I had a long day at work, or needed to let off soo to an exclusive club for billionaires where you could buy dates or sex with beautiful women I would always buy a dominant/subot bored and moved onto the next one It was an easy way forattached Eets hurt I’ve preferred to have theirl I liked dumped him for his friend

I was devastated and vowed that I would never allow ain That’s why I don’t do traditional relationships I’ restless in this small town I miss the club I’ve had an idea inauctions like that here in Blooet it started I wonder if I should ask andrew He’s always been the brains when it coal stuff I wonder how he’d react to it? Maybe I’ll talk to him about it

He’s busy talking about the business, and how great the tax incentives are for it in this small town He has a lot of Hope’s and a success, I just wish I didn’t feel like ere stuck in the reat decision toto happen to the coe hi to soften him up, for when I tell him about my auction idea later “Yeah, I feel the same way” Andrew replies with a smile

“I still can’t believe the nerve of that HR guy Arguing with you like that” I shake s, “It will be alright I guess He just needs to learn his place” He replies “Yeah, but at least you had the guts to tell hih We slow our pace as we near the flower shop Andrew laughs “You sound like you want soood naturedly “Just trying to be a good friend” I Reply with a shrug I’m not ready to tell him about my idea yet I want to do a little research onhe won’t be able to refuse He gives me a doubtful look, as we both walk into the flower shop
