Jamison’s Point of View

    I continue to keep looking at my phone during my meeting. I know I shouldn’t, but Lorelei told me that she would text or call me sometime this afternoon. I feel so pathetic waiting around for her message. I feel like a puppy and it isn’t good for my ego.  

My partner Brian came all the way here just for this bullshit meeting. He stands in front of me wearing an expensive cream colored suit. He is talking up a storm and rambling on about unnecessary expansions I don’t even remember agreeing on.

    “I thought we were going to expand the two stores downtown, Brian.”

    “We are. I just thought this would make us more profit in the end,” it’s always about money when it comes to Brian. The more the merrier. It isn’t like he needs anymore of it. He’s been my partner since I decided to take the plunge after college graduation. Who would have thought we would be making millions? I sure as hell didn’t.

I look down at my phone again. Still nothing. Seeing Lorelei last night made me feel a lot better. My week before that was beyond stressful and it was all my fault. I am the reason why everything is crap. I thought it would be a good idea to stop talking to Lorelei. That dinner at my house changed things between us. I learned that it won’t take me much longer before I fall completely in love with Lorelei. And she isn’t aware of this, not even close.

But spending the evening with her was nice. It was calming. I was relaxed and comfortable for the first time in a while. Even meeting her parents didn’t bother me because Lorelei was by my side. God. Just call me pathetic and a total sap already. What bothered me the most was how Lorelei’s parents treated her. It brought back memories. It brought back the memories that I have tried my very hardest to forget forever.

It looks like that is near impossible.

Spending the night with Lorelei also was amazing. Just holding her and sleeping next to her is enough. Although she does turn me on quicker than any girl I’ve ever been with. Being that close to her scared me more than I thought was ever possible. I began to over-analyze everything. This is something I haven’t done since, well, the hospital.

What if she looks at me differently? What if she thinks I’m crazy? What if she leaves me? All of these stupid thoughts ran around in circles in my mind. It took a mid-morning drink to forget them, which now that I think about it, was a really foolish thing for me to do.

    “I just think that this would be a good investment, Jamison.”
