"Goodmorning baby,"I said as I kissed my husband softly.
"Goodmorning sweetheart breakfast is ready,"he said sitting a plate on the table. I love it when he cooks for me.
"Mmm I love it when you cook,"I said smiling.
"Well I don't want my baby going to work hungry,"he said.
"Goodmorning Mom goodmorning Dad,"my son Jr. said.
"Hey baby give Mommy a kiss,"I said pulling him closer letting him kiss my cheek,"Ready for school this morning?"
"I guess since we get to dress like cowboys today for spirit week,"he said excitedly then pouted,"But I still don't understand why we're the only school who goes to school today."
"It'll be alright now hurry and eat breakfast so we can go catch that bus,"my husband said.
Me and Dolvett have been married for 7 years now and we have only one child together and both have my heart completely. I love my family. Everything has been going really well over the years. Most people would say that most marriages have that seven year itch, but I don't believe that at all because everyday I'm in love and I'm satisfied.
I finished my breakfast and went upstairs to get dressed for work. It's another boring day working at the office. Never in my life would I have pictured myself as the COO of a local business here in Atlanta for public arts. At my job we buy and sell masterpieces placing them in museums and magazines. It's really fun and interesting, but lately we haven't been receiving any good artwork lately.
"Babe I'm going to head out,"Dolvett said.
"Awwww okay baby have a great day,"I said kissing him,"Love you."
"Love you too,"he said,"Have a wonderful day."
As soon as he left I grabbed my briefcase keys and purse and headed out myself. Can't be late for work.
I locked the door and walked to my car. Once I got in I buckled my seatbelt and to work I went. When I made it I parked in my normal parking spot. I got out the car grabbing all of my belongings and went straight to the elevator.
"Where are you going?"the elevator attendant asked.
"Fifth floor,"I said back.
He pressed the fifth floor button and the doors closed before we started moving. When I finally made it to my floor, I immediately received greetings from my coworkers.
"Goodmorning Michelle,"a woman named Jane said.
"Goodmorning Jane,"I responded.
"Goodmorning,"said Paul.
"Goodmorning Paul,"I said back
"Hey Michelle Mr. Doss needs you in his office,"Sharon said.
"Tell him I'm going to get situated first, I'll be there in a moment,"I said.
Mr. Doss is the CEO here meaning he's in charge of everything and everyone including me. Usually when he calls for me it's bad news so I'm nervous every time I go to his office.
"Knock Knock Mr. Doss?"I said entering the room.
"Michelle please sit down,"he said giving me a strange expression.
"Someone said you needed to talk to me,"I said.
"Yes I do it's great news,"he shockingly said.
"Really?"I said,"What is the news?"
"Well I think you know that our business hasn't been as successful lately I'm right?"he asked.
"Yes sure we've been doing the best we can,"I responded.
"Yes well I have a plan to help us get back on track,"he said,"A young man is coming over soon to look around at everything. He's looking to invest his time, work, and money and I need you to make sure he's a hundred percent in."
"What do you mean make you sure he's a hundred percent in?"I asked.
"I mean you need to make sure he feels welcomed and comfortable here try not to let anything happen that'll run him off,"he said.
"Okay so now I'm some type of maid okay,"I said a bit aggravated.
"Mrs. Quince it's just business, get with the program,"he said.
"Fine okay I'm in,"I said standing up.
"You look lovely today by the way,"he complemented.
"Thank you,"I said before walking away.
I left out of his office and went to mines where a huge stack of papers called my name. It had my name written all over them. Now I have to read and analyze every last one.
"Hey Michelle we're about to go grab some lunch, want anything?"Paul asked.
"I'm fine thanks for asking,"I said smiling.
I've sat at this desk for about 6 hours reading papers. I'm exhausted. I don't get off until around 10 so I'll just have to stick through it. That's the worst part of having a fulltime job.
After my time was up I was relieved that I could finally go home. Hopefully my son's awake so I can tuck him in bed. I grab all my belongings and turned off the lights in my office. Then I left out and hopped on the elevator. Once I made it down I eased my way to my car got in and went home.
"Thank you Jesus,"I semi yelled.
I sat my keys and briefcase on the kitchen table and went upstairs. Dolvett was laying down sleep.
"I see someone didn't wait up for me,"I whispered in his ear causing him to react.
"Mmm hey baby,"he said,"I'm sorry I was a bit tired from work today."
"I understand me too,"I said sitting on the edge of the bed taking off my shoes,"I feel so tight."
"Awwww baby well let give you a massage,"he offered.
"Yes please,"I said moving my hair to the front allowing his strong hands to work its magic,"Mmm baby that feels so good."
"How was work?"he whispered.
"It was okay my boss wants me to hang out with some guy tomorrow to like kind of help bribe him into helping our company,"I complained.
"That's how business works sometimes,"he said.
"I know I just wasn't planning on being anyone's maid,"I said.
"You're not anyone's maid okay it'll be fine,"he said.
"Yea I guess,"I responded.
"How do you feel now?"he asked removing his hands.
"Amazing now I'm going to take a shower okay,"I said,"Be right back love you."
"Love you too,"he said back.
I grabbed my towel and went into the bathroom. I undressed and turned the water on. Then I stepped in and was in heaven. After my shower, I dried off, got into my PJs, tied my hair up, and got into bed. I kissed Dolvett cheek and went to sleep.
