We walked through the hallways with little to no more trouble as we got to the elevator that went to her private floor. She used her keys and pushed the button to open the elevator and as she stepped in I looked puzzled so she held the doors open and asked, "Are you not getting on?"
"Sorry, I just figured you would be hesitant to get back on an elevator alone with me again after what just happened."
"Oh well never mind that for now. Just follow me in here and get ready for the meeting that's going to change everything for you."
"Cryptic but okay…" I walked into her private elevator and went to the right side as she stood on the left where the buttons were. Pulling out her phone again she looked to be messaging someone and as we were waiting for a minute Jayda turned to face me. "Are we going to talk about what happened between the elevators?"
I turned to face her to show her respect but it was killing me to see the face that she was wearing because of me. "What do you mean? I'm behaving more professionally as you suggested. Plus I just thought you needed some space since I probably overstepped a bit at the end there."
"Oh Hun, don't act like that. It does not suit you." She says as she checks her phone after it went off. Looking back up at me she asked me if I was ready for my life to change and I started to get excited. I nodded my head in anticipation of some big shot she had arranged for me to get my name out in the public eye but what I got instead was a close second.
When the elevator doors opened and the lights were out for a split second I began to feel anxious as I looked at Ms. Sparks with that plastered all over my face when the lights suddenly were turned on and everyone there shouted out CONGRATULATIONS! and I thought I was going to pass out. Luckily Jayda was beside me and held onto the side of my right shoulder to help me keep steady. I looked out to see the whole floor decorated with black, orange, and little green streamers, balloons, party plates, and a giant cake box on the table on the furthest wall. The tablecloths on all the tables are Halloween-themed and I couldn't be happier when Ghost Town's "You're So Creepy" started to play on the speakers around the whole floor. I looked back at Jayda to see her walking out of the elevator and I instinctively followed but still had little clues about this whole thing. I was caught up in the whole thing and questioning everything thus far when Jayson walked up to me.
"Hey! Look at you Ms. Thing, how much did this cost you?"
"Um, what do you mean?"
"Oh honey, you were supposed to say 'my old life' but I'll let you pass this time since you're probably still in shock from this whole thing. How do you like it? I heard you were into this creepy shit so I helped set it up. I know you are a big Michael Jackson fan but Thriller's intro was way too long to be the starter song and I thought Ghost Town would be a close second and yet you didn't fail to show my efforts weren't for not."
"Oh my fucking Lord! You helped with this and it's for me?"
"Bitch of course I did and who do you think this is for?"
"I try not to assume but there are signs to have given me some ideas."
"Girl you are clueless and you're lucky you're adorable. Anyhow There's someone I wanna introduce you to."
Jayson brought me over to this beautiful woman with natural pale skin who had her hair dyed black. She doesn't seem to be Gothic but her outfit was cute as fuck. I was so stunned all I could get out was a tiny hello and a wobbly hand out for her to shake. I was so nervous with everything being so in my face that I couldn't process everything right away. The woman Jayson introduced me to asked if she could pull me aside for a couple of minutes and took me over to an empty corner. Speaking softly she asks,
"It's a bit much, isn't it?" asked the new girl.
"What do you mean? I would sound ungrateful if I thought that, wouldn't I?"
"Yup just as I thought. You're going through a panic attack aren't you?" Shocked she guessed this about me in such a short time of talking to me with me barely speaking to me.
"How'd you know?"
"I'm just like you. I also get jumble-minded when surprised with something this extravagant out of the blue."
"Do you also have an Anxious Attachment Style?"
"Yup… Are you still questioning whether this is for you or not and if you deserve this?"
"Yup."
"Ah, I see. Well, I won't force you to believe otherwise but don't tell anyone else here because most of them don't even know attachment styles even exist."
"Got it. Thank you for pulling me aside." I said with a smile on my face finally. "I appreciate it."
"No problem. I'll try to convince Jayson to tone down his extra personality."
"Wait, why?"
"Oh because I know if he isn't informed about how his clueless ass affects people our bed activities are affected and Mamma needs her fun time tonight."
"Oh, okay…" Just like the old saying about the snake the realization of what she said slapped me in my face moments after she fell silent. With my mouth dropping open so fast and my head spinning around in her direction so quickly her reaction of spitting out her orange fruit drink sprayed all over the wall beside us. As she was coughing to clear her airways I took the chance to speak up first. "You two are dating!?"
"Yeah," she responded through her laughs. "I take it that you missed the part of that introduction when we met."
"I'm so sorry! I have a bad habit of thinking that every cute girl is gay and I hope I can get to know them so that I forget that straight people are still a thing, especially in this company. And no offense I thought Jayson was gay with how comfortable he is with expressing his sexuality."
Laughing even harder now she had to hold herself back afterwards. "Okay, so you did catch that but took it the wrong way which is understandable. I don't take offense at all because I warned him that that would happen if he signed to this label and ever since then women asked to be friends with me while men hit on him and every time it cracks me up."
"Let me guess," Jayson interrupted out of nowhere with Ms. Sparks beside him. "Lucy thought I was gay and you were my friend or something."
"Yup. She was so shocked when she realized that we were a thing that she accidentally revealed that she was hoping I too was gay and could befriend me."
Embarrassed all I could do was blush and look down. "I'm sorry. I got nervous after she told me that she and Jayson were together I said some things without thinking them through."
Jayson and Ms. Sparks placed their hands on either of my shoulders and I looked up at them. I am really glad that I still had on my sunglasses because I started to tear up again and I'm starting to hate myself already even though it has only just started. I have to get over these emotions that flare up from out of nowhere. They looked at each other and nodded as if they had a mental discussion that they agreed to in only seconds of looking at each other's eyes.
"Look Lulu," Jayson began. "No one here is upset, let alone Chloie here. Hell, I'm pretty sure you made her morning since she can now throw my actions in my face once more and after we get home she's getting a double dose of satisfaction because once we have our fun time she gets it rough so I can punish her for being right which only excites her even more because she's a freak."
'"Should I be hearing this?" I asked nervously.
"It doesn't bother us if people know. We talk about this kind of stuff to all of our friends." Chloie informed me.
"Wait, am I a friend now or am I overthinking what you told me?"
"Both!" They all said in unison. Confused Chloie cleared up what they meant.
"Look Lu, we do see you as a friend since you made my man here dreams come true this year but you're overthinking way too much on our intentions. We want you to feel included like you are a part of everything because since you came along the happiness you brought everyone has made things here a bit brighter and this party is to show that to you."
"Exactly," Ms. Sparks cut in. "This is all for you so if you two don't mind I would like to take her to meet more of the guests." They both shook their heads. Chloie hugged me while Jayson padded my back as they both said their farewells.
As we walked around the floor I could hear China McClain's "Calling All The Monsters" now playing as Ms. Sparks introduced me to other company executives while asking for some guy. I was taken around all over the floor until another pale woman came up to us to speak to Jayda. She had ginger red hair that made her natural pale skin look even more paler. She had brown freckles running across her face from cheek to cheek even over the brim of her nose. She walked up in a yellow sun dress with a red floral pattern. She had on black flats which I won't say anything about because she reminded me of that typical girl you read about in those cheesy romance novels where there are only white people in them and it's super cringe to even hold after you have finished reading it. That was the first and last time I picked up a romance novel involving a hetero couple as the main characters. When I picked up a romantic novel again it was queer-based and when I found out there was a hetero couple in it as well I almost put it down but I found out my fears were irrational. I found out that it wasn't that I didn't like romantic novels but instead that those other types were never meant for me. I was happy to see that the author made the characters feel loved and a part of their society as if we were normal and I immediately latched onto that author's works. I honestly thought this cliche of a woman approaching was going to be unsettled because of that past haunting me but I was relieved that my irrational fears from the past didn't follow me so I was able to see how beautiful she was. Unfortunately for my past hopes I had to tread carefully because I didn't want what happened with Chloie to ever happen again.
"Ms. Sparks!"
"Oh, Kim!" Jayda said with enthusiasm to the gorgeous red-haired woman. "Have you seen Kenneth? I wanted to introduce someone to him."
"That's perfect!" Kim exclaimed passionately. "I was sent by Kenneth to find you and tell you that he needs you to meet him in his office!"
"Perfect. Kim, this is Lucy Furr. Lucy, this is my assistant Kim Pierce." We shook hands as she introduced us.
"Nice to meet you." Kim greeted me with a bright smile. Her teeth are pearly white and straight as hell. If I keep looking at her I'm afraid that I may get lost in her energy alone.
"Hello, it's nice to meet you as well," I responded.
"Well, shall we get going then?" Jayda asked rushing to get to this Kenneth person.
As we walked to Kenneth's office Jayda was walking ahead of us but since the introduction Kim and I have walked side by side silently. I was starting to feel awkward when Jayda turned her head to look back at us and I began to feel embarrassed by our encounter thus far so I turned my head towards Kim by mistake and my face got red from another dose of embarrassment I immediately whipped my head around to my left that I got a little dizzy and my vision started to blur and went black around the edges of my sight. Stars began to form in the middle of the rest of my vision so I wasn't able to see that Jayda had stopped in front of us and I ran into her from behind. I instantly thought 'My Lord! What else am I going to do to this woman to further her discomfort with me?'
"Lucy, are you okay?" Jayda asked.
"I'm sorry Ms. Sparks! I got dizzy for a minute. I didn't mean to run into you." I responded panicky. Trying to plead my case as I backed away from her. It was at this time that I was ready to die to end my miserable day once and for all.
"Kim sweetie," Ms. Sparks said turning her attention to Kim. "could you go on ahead and let Kenneth know I'm on the way with a guest and please wait for me there as well darling."
"Oh sure, Ms. Sparks," Kim responded bubbly. "I'll get right on it!" Then as energetically rushed off toward Kenneth's place of work wherever that is.
"Ms. Furr, will you come with me for a minute please?" She asked while grabbing my wrist and leading me to an office with the lights off.
"Oh um, sure," I said with my voice filled with worry and anxiety. Maybe I'm reading too much into this but I'm so confused about what's happening right now.
She guided me to the empty office closed the door grabbed both of my arms pushing me up against the wall. Slamming her hand next to my head she looked me dead in the eyes.
"Explain yourself now!" she demanded
"Explain what exactly?" I asked with fear and confusion mixed dancing in my voice.
"Explain why you were so flirty with everyone here after you were so into me this morning!"
"Oh, um I was just trying to be friendly, and since coming out I couldn't get any lesbian friends. They made it seem like they all preferred to hang out with anyone else than me. If I came across as flirty I seriously need to go back and apologize to Jayson and Chloie. I was just hoping to have at least one lesbian friend to ask her questions and hang with. Oh don't get me wrong, I like Chloie too, and if she wanted to hang out any time I'll take her up on her offer since she did say she wants to be friends too. I just wanted someone a little like me to talk to… and I'm talking too much now. I do that when I get nervous. Sorry, I'll stop now."
It took her a minute to process what I told her. "Okay, but I don't think you realized you had left something out. What about what happened between you and my assistant as we were walking in the hallway? The blushing you had when you looked at her was also something I was referring to as well."
"Oh right, the thing with Kim and me running into you..." she chuckled nervously. "Well about that… if I'm being honest…" My heart was racing because I was scared that what I'd say would make her hurt me more than her squeezing my arms. After a couple more minutes of me not responding to her, she released me and started to leave. My heart was losing all the liquid that made it beat. Chocking back the hurt I began to feel I bit my lips and rushed forward. Ms. Sparks stepped back to open the door taking a couple of steps out about to leave when I took a couple of steps and grabbed her upper arms pulling her back into the unoccupied office and slammed the door shut. In a split second, I had her back up against the same wall and was kissing her lips with mine. I was in shock at how soft they were. I started to fall into her spell when I snapped back to my senses when she pushed me off her.
"What in the HELL are you doing!?" She asked with her face showered my anger.
"Don't leave yet. Please…" I begged pathetically while looking down to her right. "You know it was because of you don't you?"
"The hell do you mean it was my fault?" she demanded getting annoyed.
"The reason I blushed and mistook which side your assistant was." My hair from behind my right ear fell and covered a part of my face. "I turned my head from you so you wouldn't see me blushing from looking at your eyes. I didn't want you to be uncomfortable with me any more than you already were. So when I looked away from you I forgot your assistant was to my right so when I looked at her by mistake I was so embarrassed that someone else saw me blushing over you that I had to quickly turn away." There was a hint of sadness and longing in my voice. I was hurting so much that I couldn't show her what I was feeling. I was trying to put the distance I thought we needed due to me thinking my advancements failed. I was ready to let go of her and just let Ms. Sparks leave because she was so silent that I figured I'd just leave today and retry tomorrow. I was so deep in my thought that as I started to drop my hands I felt Ms. Sparks grabbing the rim of my pants and pulling me in close. I was sure she could feel me trembling.
"You're such an idiot." She chuckled. Lifting on her tiptoes she brushed my lips across hers and that's when I was sure she could taste the reason why I was trembling.
Taking hold of my hips she swung me to her right and tangled her fingers of her left hand in my hair. Looking down at her past my hair I gave her a clear view that I was indeed sobbing. Embarrassed and just ready to get this day over and done with I started to slide away from the door so Ms. Sparks was able to open the door without my messy ass interfering again. "We should get to Kenneth," I said through coughs of pain and tears.
"No, he can wait." She said with a stern voice. "I'll have to make a quick call. Stay right here."
I watched her step away as I slid down to the floor. I wasn't sure what she was going to do but I leaned my head on the wall behind me as she dialed up someone on her phone.
"Hey sweetie, can you let Kenneth know I'm going to be a bit later than I thought? I'll be there as soon as I can but something urgent came up and I need to handle it right away."
I wasn't sure if I should get my hopes up that she meant me or if I should be ready to be given instructions to either go to Kenneth by myself or to be told to leave. Either case made my heart pound like jackhammers and I could feel my panic attack to start. I played a very dangerous game this morning and now I'm feeling the side effects of being rash.
"Um, yeah. Everything's okay. In a manner of speaking." She snapped beginning to get irritated and that helped to snap out of my attack somehow. I'm too curious for my good but I'll take that over making a bigger fool out of myself. "Look today I thought I was going to get lucky with her. You know me. Just tell Kenneth what I said and I'll be right there shortly. I think I might've screwed up and finally went too far."
That was the moment I was puzzled. Did she want me? Did I overreact? Could I blame it on my hormonal imbalance due to the meds? Or is this all on me? Either way, I know I heard her right so instead of feeling like a piece of sorry meat I decided to take advantage of this knowledge and do what she wanted from the start. Maybe that would make things better. Getting up off the floor I fixed my dress, recentered myself, and walked over to Ms.Sparks. I stood in front of her as she was still on the phone and knelt on both knees. Looking up at her she saw the hunger and horniness in my eyes which caused me to start rolling up her dress. She patted her head and put a finger to her lips to tell me to stay quiet. I winked at her and I knew it wasn't me being loud while she was on the phone that would be the issue. As I spread her legs I pressed my lips on her lace panties and as I began to kiss them I was going lower and I was worried if she would be able to speak properly while talking to Kim.
"You're going to get us caught if you don't become more serious about this." Ms. Sparks warned me. My breath was beating against the lace against her pussy now and I could tell she let out a tiny laugh as I resumed teasing her with my kisses. I stuck out my tongue and grazed the tip from the furthest end of her pussy up to her now sensitive clit. Taking off my glasses I placed them on the floor in a safe distance from being crushed by accident. I'm looking for the places that will tell me that she likes being touched there the most. I'm looking for the person she is underneath her tough exterior. I tried to pull her panties to the side a little but that was difficult I think Ms. Sparks knew that since she spread her legs more but instead of letting me continue she bent over and pulled me out from under her dress. Drawing closer to her she guided us to the couch. As I dropped down on the sofa after being pushed Ms. Sparks pulled up her dress as she climbed on top of me while staring into my eyes. I immediately grabbed her hips pulling her dress up more as I slid my hands around her ass and softly squeezed her cheeks. Ms. Sparks finally ended her phone call just as she moaned and leaned down when I began craving her lips on mine again. I tried making out with her on the couch as she cupped my face in both hands while I kneaded her cheeks making me feel like my hands were blessed with the magic to send out sensations throughout her whole body no matter where my hands were. I was so focused on what we were doing that I lost track of time when she quickly took my hands off her and got up fixing her dress and making sure her hair was still neat.
"Sorry Lucy darling," She said rushing me To get up and fix myself. "but we need to go. We spent too much time on here." Looking at my watch on the underside of my wrist I became as shocked and worried as her when I realized it was almost noon.
"Shit!" I exclaimed getting up and fixing myself as I was urged to do. "I'm so late! My supervisor is going to kill me!"
"Don't worry about that right now. I need to get you to Kenneth pronto."
I know she knows I'm confused but I decided to just go with it.
"Trust me, Lucy," She said walking over to me as I made myself presentable as well. "And you better walk beside me as we travel down that hallway missy," She demanded while softly poking a finger in my chest. "You're mine as of this day and there's no more of this awkward distance or any other reasons for misunderstanding."
I nodded with a smile on my face walked over to the door to open it for her.
