Enrique and I were rudely awaken—and sent scrambling to my room by Amber bumbling through the door. She jokingly called it our run of shame. I asked her to never mention it again. Once clothed, as in wearing a couple of mismatched robes, I awkwardly introduced my college friend to the guy I had just had sex all night long with. I wasn’t surprised that Enrique didn’t seem upset by the whole thing. I was […]
Alicia bailed on us to do some packing. I felt bad and really should have helped her. She insisted that I go out with Amber. We picked up Jemma to replace her. It never occurred to me that Alicia might be tired. I hadn’t really processed what I had agreed to—or what I was giving up yet. I realize now my dear college friend had.
Amber must have known about the crazy swirling around the Big Apple. She magically appeared, or maybe Alicia summoned her. I got lots of sympathy friend hugs—at least I hope they were sympathy hugs. Of course they were, Amber respects boundaries. Well, she respects some boundaries, just not the work, drink, dance balance stuff. For once I was OK going to a place with like no men and no chance of going home other than […]
Needless to say, my weekend was awful. I spent it commiserating with Alicia and Jemma. Have never gotten so drunk before, never will again. Blocked Todd—all of his numbers—from my phone and switchboard. Wish I could make it disappear, but just going to have to own it. Can’t even bury myself in work as most of it has already been done. My friends are sworn to secrecy, not that anyone else knew or cared. Just […]
The week started with a booty call from Todd. My life has been so topsy-turvy in the last few weeks. Half the time I’m not sure what week it is, never mind the day. It doesn’t help that at the beginning of the year I was an intern and now I’m trying to blow off steam from a mega-merger. Things the school councillor could never prepare you for… But back to Todd.
So I spent Saturday and Sunday at my boyfriend’s—clothing optional. Best weekend ever! I was looking forward to get back in the trenches with Enrique to finish our secret deal, when Nico grabbed me for lunch. I knew from the moment she interrupted Enrique and I that something was up.
Tell me if this surprises you. After planting a seed in my head about going to a fetish event, which both scares and excites me, Todd is back to single word text responses. He did apologize, as he is very close to closing one of his own deals. I cut him some slack and went online to Google: “what do you wear to a fetish party”. Seems my choices were between anything and nothing. Thanks […]
So the potential client that was supposed to meet us in NYC two weeks ago, made a new appointment for like a couple of days, in Paris. I’ve always wanted to see Paris, just not on a day and a half’s notice, for business. That said, things are so close I can almost taste it.
Amber left early in the week. I hope things get back to normal. Too many late night—drinking. I went shopping with her a couple of times. She helped me work on my 333 wardrobe. OK, she helped me reset my 333 wardrobe since I ended up ordering some different dresses online. She tried to convince me to free up some wardrobe spaces by sleeping naked, but we all aren’t shameless supermodels. I opted for a […]
And as promised Amber crashed into my life again. Between work and her I haven’t had much time for anything else. Especially after Jemma met her. So since then we’ve been going out every night. Also, Todd finally remembered how to return text/calls/etc. I had to put him on pause as I remembered the creative chaos of my out-of-town friend.
