Chicago RX

28. conferences

Shay was at the summit required for work. Denny was invited by friends he knew and it was perfect because he knew shay would be attending.

She sat in the conference laughing back at the speaker making jokes about medicine and today's technology. When she looked over to see Denny of all people sitting in a group of people he knew.

This was an issue. He knew she would be there she just couldnt catch a break. The guy was everywhere it seemed. He looked straight at her and smiled. She attempted to ignore pretending he wasn't there but deep down she knew that would be impossible. She wondered about his true intentions at being at these meetings.

He never approached her during or after so she put it from her mind and continued to focus on work. After speaking with whom she needed to and dinner was done she retired to her room.

A bath was what lingered in her mind. The big oval shaped deep in jet tub and bubbles crying out to her. She had a date with Calgone.

She called room service. Champaign and berries sounded like heaven. She picked up her phone and rung Hank.

Hello, how is she.

She's great how is the conference?

Its good. Learning alot. Making alot of intros getting to know people of interest. Thanks for taking care of Lily while I do this. It means alot.

No problem what you got planned for tonight.

Oh ima hot bath it tonight. I miss you though.

Well do your thing enjoy your time away and have fun. We will be here when you get back.

We hung up and I drew my bath. Feeling badly about not mentioning Denny. Should I have said something? I wondered.

If I had said something Hank for sure would have a problem with me being here. Especially alone.  I'd have to go through listening to why I should be home or at least closer.

Letting the suds from the bubbles caress her skin I put away thoughts of fighting and tried to relax. Watching the bubbles slide down her skin. She gets out and rubs her body with her lotion. She takes her hair down from its pins. Letting her curls fall to her shoulders.

Then a knock came at the door.  Thinking it had to be room service she opened the door Surprised at the familiar face staring back at her.

Hello there Shay. He barged past her letting himself inside. He gives her place a quick once over before shutting her door behind him. Then he leans in to smell the fragrance of her bubble bath through her robe.

You smell good.

Why are you here.

But he just started rambling about his past again as if I could relate somehow.

Hank and I go way back as you may well know however hank has become a problem lately we dont see eye to eye..

Look Denny I don't know why you think talking to me is going to change anything you got going with Hank. You shouldn't be here.

See I know that you think you couldn't possibly have any sway over the dispute between old friends but I got to tell ya I think you are just whats needed to get my point across.

He could tell she was nervous when his eyes went to her chest she pulled her robe tightly together making a fist.. She started to fidget which generally means ones uncomfortable. Her arms dangled at her waist trying to look natural but he could tell it was forced. A desperate attempt to look perfectly in control. She was quiet which meant her mind was racing. Racing for an idea or an escape.

We talked about you. I asked him straight up to. It must be an amazing piece of ass for you to go up against someone like me. After all the shit we had been through. I thought to myself damn I really need to try it for myself.

I'll scream she warned through a nervous voice.  An evil grin altered his face.  Who wouldn't he taunted back lunging towards her.  She turned to run as he chased her down the hall. Pushing her flat against the mattress as he towered over her. Nestled in between her thighs watching her chest heave up and down from the adrenaline.

His eyes skimmed over her and she immediately looked away from him. Look at me. He said pulling her chin towards him. There they are those beautiful brown eyes. She felt his breath and how hot it felt upon her skin. The weight of him crushing her.

Hank has always came out on top. He's good because he shows restraint, patients. To tell you the truth i just don't have that in me. I'll tell you the urges I'm fighting right now the things I could do to this body. Well its taking everything.

I will fight you.

Thats what I'm hoping for he smiled. Running the tip of his fingers down the length of her neck. Trailing the hem of her towel as it pulls tight against her skin. When I'm done you can tell him all about what happened between us. I want you to. I will deny it of course but deep down he will know its true.

A knock came suddenly and a man called out.. it was room service.

Her eyes frantically turn from his towards the door. Waiting to see how he handles the situation.

Well it looks like you've been saved. he said disappointed. It will be my word against yours just so you know and if you try to pin me on this ill end your boyfriends career. Are we clear.

He pulled her up and straightened out her robe making her look decent. Then they both walked towards the door.

When the door was opened the waiter had a huge grin displayed with a large tray.

Good evening. He said staring back at a shocked Shay.

Denny puts his coat on stares down at her tray grabs a glass of champaign takes a strawberry and drink then nodds before he leaves.

Are you ok ma'am?

I'm fine. She responded. As she watched him leave her room. She locks the door behind her. Her hands shaking. Shay started to shake as her face fell to her hands.

The whole night I couldn't sleep. Tossed and turned Knotts in my stomach.  I hadn't felt evil like that since I was a kid.

Denny finds shay later the next day. Breakfast meetings that went on through the morning and there he was yet again.

Good morning.. You really need to try the pancakes here.. They are to die for.. He slides over a plate of strawberries..

You remember last night. She doesn't answer but he knows she is understanding him..Good cuz I need you to do something for me or ill finish what I started last night. I need hank to sign off on something and I think you could be the one to convince him to do it. To be honest with you I am actually hoping you don't help me..You really are a lovely woman. He whispered moving behind her. His hand moves her hair away from one shoulder to the other. His finger flickers against her skin. I can still smell that strawberry champaign. Mmmmmm.

What do you want me to do.

There is a case he's been looking into. He will know what one your referring to. Tell him to let this one die.

What if he doesn't want to listen.

Your a smart girl, be creative and convince him.
