all the hot water since I was a kid, since I had to start paying for it myself. I toweled off and sent a text to my girl Jessie.
Jst got home got a story to tell ya. XOXO
To my surprise she answered. I guess she forgot to put her phone on silent while she slept.
happy hour fri @gingersnap
Knowing I probably woke her up I just texted back OK. And I left it at that. It was 2:34 in the morning on Wednesday. I didn't know how to hold in what I had to tell her but every working girl's gotta do it from time to time. I just tore the towel off and jumped into bed naked. The clock was ticking and I wanted to look fresh the next day. I didn't want Longboard to think I was fazed by him because that's probably what he wanted. My rule was never give a guy what he wants unless he's earned it. If he gave me the promotion, then I'd say he earned it. But that was still a ways off, at least as far as I could see. Things never moved as quick as the imagination. And when I left Longboard, he was staring at a smear of my breasts against a whiteboard. It was either a good thing or a bad thing but I wasn't naive enough to settle on either one.
My sleep was off-and-on but my morning alarm clock wasn't trying to hear that. I had to peel my back off the mattress like a pancake and do the morning. I ran to the kitchen naked because I needed the coffee to be hot. I took a morning shower just to wake up. The water was hot again but I still didn't feel clean. I felt cleaned . I washed off the night before but I had to get the me back. Water running over my face always woke the me up. I put my face directly under the shower head and let the water spar with my face. My eyes started to feel sore so I threw in the towel and stopped the fight. I dried off, then went to get my coffee and slipped two frozen waffles in the toaster. I didn't always eat naked but I never ate breakfast in my work clothes. That was a disaster waiting to happen. When I'm still waking up, I'm uncoordinated. That's why I drink my coffee, dress and pee all before getting into the car. I have to focus when I'm driving early. I focused all the way back to downtown Honolulu. The drive from Paalea St. to Ward Avenue took about fifteen minutes, the way I drive. The entrance to the building was on a one way street. One way streets were always extra narrow in Honolulu. But the sun was up, so I had a hard time not thinking it was going to be a good day. I found a good parking spot on the second level. It was difficult not to think about having my own spot at some point. Promotions brought along perks and perks were good. As I stepped in the elevator, I could feel my coffee kicking in. I had that bright spot that was excited about the prospects of getting to work. I didn't know if Longboard would be in his office but he didn't have a direct line-of-sight toward my quad anyway. So I could go in and sit at my desk without Longboard seeing, even if he was already in. But I didn't think he would be. He never beat me to the office, even when we had a major presentation.
I left my purse at my desk and let my keys drop. I went to the conference room with one thing on my mind. I was sure Longboard hadn't left my boob stains on the whiteboard. I walked a bit anxiously to the conference room. I had to go all the way to the end of the row. I went into the conference room to see what was what. The whiteboard was clean, no boob stains. There were some chocolates placed at every chair with the Key Way Insurance Logo on each. Key Way was an Anglicanization of Longboard's last name, Kiewei. And the logo had a skeleton key with the word Key Way substituting for
