Loveless

Chapter 5

    Today was the day of Jamie's party. I woke up to Royale yawning and stretching next to me. She is so fucking adorable. Anyways I got up and started to get ready for the day and like normal she was on my heels. I thought about what I was going to do with her because I needed to go to the gym. I thought about bringing her with me but she's way too small to be in the gym like that. Plus, she would be all up under me the whole time and I don't want her to get hurt more than she already is. I changed her bandages and set her up with some water and her food and a pad. I was only going to be gone for like an hour. How much trouble could she really get herself into? I put her in my room with the door closed and before I could even hit the steps she was whining. As much as I wanted to turn back and get her, I didn't. She needed to get used to being alone without me. I quickly made my way outside before I changed my mind and went back upstairs. I jogged all the way to the gym and met my trainer inside.

     Before I knew it, I was done and jogging back home. I got to the front door and I could hear Royale whining just a little bit. The closer I got to my room the louder it got and I had wondered if she was whining the entire time. I got to the door and opened it. She darted out and ran in circles around me and jumped on me a lot. "Ok ok. I'm back," I picked her up and she started licking my nose. "Alrighty let's get ready to go," I said putting her back on the floor. I went to go shower and get dressed and threw all of her medication in a bag along with some of her other stuff. I threw all of that in the car along with my work stuff and then went back to get Royale. She was eyeing the T.V. and I realized that this was the first time she'd seen it on. She started barking at it once I turned it off and then looked back at me. I picked her up and took her to the car laughing the entire time. As we were driving to this doggy daycare thing, I noticed that she was trying to hop on the armrest. Probably to get closer to me so I ended up putting her on my lap and she calmed down. As I was driving though she started jumping on my chest. Well, it was more of pawing what little titties I have and licking my chin. Once we finally made it there she was watching me pick up her bag of stuff and scoop her in my other hand.

     I was actually anticipating it to go longer than expected. I filled out like two registration forms and that was it. I went to run some quick errands to pick up things for the party. I got some balloons, plates, cups, a sheet cake, and a veggie platter. Brian was supposed to be handling everything else food wise so I was good. I made my way to work and actually pulled in as Brian was unloading his car. "Good morning boo," he said as I got out the car. "Hey, you got all the stuff?" I asked and he nodded pulling out this big ass card. "We're going to keep all of this in one of the conference rooms near the office. Jamie and Josh have to go a meeting for performance review and then when they come back we should be all set up and boom, surprise party. The catered food is being delivered sometime before 1 but other than that I got everything else," he said beaming with excitement. "Here's the balloons, the cake, and veggie platter. The banner is in my desk drawer. Let's hurry up though because he's on a coffee run for Josh and Omar said he should be back any minute now," I said grabbing all of the stuff out of my car. Thankfully B found a cart for us to load all of the stuff on. We rushed it upstairs and into an empty conference room. As we were heading back to our desks Jamie walked in with all the coffee and stuff. "Oh I didn't know you guys were coming in," he looked over at the two of us. "I can run back out and get you all something," he said placing everything down. "You're good. Enjoy your last day," I said patting his shoulder.

     In the middle of the day, I got a call on my desk phone which never happens. In all honesty, it scared the shit out of me and I jumped a little. "Queer Q this is Kayla Ramsey," I picked up and it was some lady. "Hi, Kayla this is Hailey from marketing. I've been meaning to get a hold of you for a while but I've been so swamped," this Hailey woman said. "It's fine I totally understand," I laughed earning a chuckle from her as well. "Well let's cut to the chase. You clearly have an eye for fashion and what catches people's attention. I, on the other hand, am looking to move out of state meaning I need someone to take my place. Now the most logical choice would be to just promote someone from my department and let them handle hiring someone new but I've seen something in the people who you've sent through this company. Of course, you'd have to interview with Mr.Williams and from what I've heard from the party you haven't had the best of interactions but I'm sure you'd both be able to put those differences aside for the good of the company," she said. "Well before I say yes might I ask what I'm actually getting myself into?" I asked. "It's pretty simple. You have a standing meeting every Friday at 11 AM with Williams and other corporate heads to discuss project progress and potential new projects. Throughout the week you're to review and expedite any project leaving this department of the company before it goes to Williams where he'll sign off for release to the public, Ummm I do weekly team meetings on Fridays around 2:00 just to check on things and make sure everything is running smoothly. There is the occasional project that you'd be working on by yourself but they're rare. I can't really think of anything else at the moment but I think you'll be able to handle it," she said and I was considering it. "Ok, I'll think about it for sure. What's your company email so I can get back to you with my decision," I said and she gave me the information before hanging up the phone. Man, I might be getting a promotion. That's crazy.
