Me and him (dating my dads best friend)

26

I readjusted joes tie and hand him his briefcase, he had slept here every night since Sunday. He had packed up a few outfits so he didn't have to go home every day before work.

It was only Tuesday so this was the first morning we would be leaving from my house. We had to take our own cars as we couldn't be seen arriving together. Gossip would be rife if we drove to work in the same car and it wouldn't take long to get back to my dad.

"Have you heard from your mom" I ask as we leave. He's had no calls from her all weekend, usually she didn't want leave him alone. I'm happy that we have had no interruptions. Nothing ruins the mood more than having to speak to your mother.

"No, why"

I shrug "she's usually blowing up your phone"

"I think she's busy with the DOR ladies" he replies.

The nod and lock the door behind us, "I'm going to take Debbie to the doggie day care place I'll see you at work"

He kisses me and gets in his car, it's only been 2 days but we have settled into a sort of routine. We order dinner and eat together each night, we have swam naked in the pool both nights. We share my bed and even baths. It's like we're a real couple, it's been great. We have 4 days until my dad gets home and I want to make the most of them.

.........

I walk in the office exactly ten minutes after joe, Zach is sat on my desk. I look around for joe and see he's stood by his office with a sour look on his face. I want to laugh but instead I just wave.

"Good morning, your looking good. You smell good too" Zach leans in so his nose is by my neck.

I look over at joe and he's still staring at us, I don't know how Zach hasn't noticed.

It's more that awkward it's almost unbearable, I had agreed to not date any one while joe and I were together. Or whatever we were.

"Thanks Zach, did you have a good night. I have to get to my laptop I have a busy day" I move around him when he finally moves his legs.

"I went to the gym and then home, it was boring. So when are you gonna let me take you on a date"  he trails his fingers across my collar bone and down my arm.

"I'm not sure that's a good idea, i don't want to mix business with pleasure"  I sit down look at the screen of my laptop.

"I think it's a great idea, you know it was good when we got together last time"

He's right, when we kissed in the copy room it had been great but i wasn't the type of girl that would date 2 men at the same time. Even if joe hadn't asked me not to I would have come to the same decision on my own.

"It was fun but it won't happen again" I say with certainty.

He moves around the desk and looks deflated "is there someone else"

I can't exactly tell him the truth so I shake my head, "I'm focusing on school right now, I'm sorry"

He smirked like he thinks I'm playing a game that he can win, "I'm not giving up that easily"

When i finally got to work I had a message waiting for me from joe, I almost didn't want to read it.

**what did he want**

I sighed, the fact that joe knew exactly what he wanted but wanted me to tell him annoyed me. I quickly typed back.

** he asked me out and I said no**

I wasn't waiting long for my reply.

**ok**

He is so grumpy, is it strange that I find it cute. I like that she's so jealous. I'm dreading the end of the week, it's only been two days but I'm getting use to waking up with him. He's invited himself to a party at my sorority on Saturday night, he told me he's sleeping at my place. I like that he takes charge and to some degree dominates me.

At lunch I eat alone in the canteen while joe goes to a restaurant with some clients. I feel lonely and hate the feeling of eating alone. I'm so use to be around people that I don't enjoy my own company.

A text arrives in my phone, I don't have to look at my screen to see it's Joe.

**this lunch is boring, I would rather be with you. I could think of so many things I could do you with this time***

I don't doubt it, he has the stamina of a 18 year old. He can't get enough of me, even when we're not having sex he is touching or hugging me.

My hour is almost over so I send joe a quick reply.

** you want to play golf **

I laugh at my reply and imagine him doing the same.

**you can play with my club and balls**

I'm in hysterics as I ride the elevator to the office.

** did you just make a joke**

The elevator doors open and I see a huge bunch of roses sat on my desk.  Joe really was full of surprises, I didn't take him for the type to send flowers.

I walk round and pick up the card and began to read. It turns out joe isn't the type to send flowers, there from Zach. I mentally scream, I can only imagine how well this will go down with joe.

Joe eyes my flowers as he walks past, he looks pissed. I shrug and mouth sorry, he gives me a tight smile and walks past.

......

An hour passes without a word from joe, I hope our night isn't ruined. A delivery woman stops at my desk and smiled brightly. Without a word she puts a bouquet of sunflowers on my desk, she goes back to the corridor an returns with another matching case.

"Who are these for" I call as she turns back to the corridor again.

"Your the hot girl on reception so I assume you" the woman shrugs.

Before long she is back with a basket in either arm, she places them on the desk .

"Can you sign please" she hands me the clipboard and points at the space where I need to sign.

I take the card from the basket that contains candy and read it out loud.

---Dolly

Your as sweet as candy, your hair is yellow as the sun and you make me feel tipsy with just one look. ---

I look at the remaining basket and see it's full to the brim with alcohol, he knows me so well.

Why does this have to end. Why can't we just tell my dad and give him time to get use to the idea. I plan to discuss with joe over dinner, he needs to know I'm happy to suffer whatever consequences come our way.
