“Now that we’ve gone over all of the paperwork, it only makes sense for this merger to proceed. I have the skills and talent to help drive this law firm and a well respected partner like you will be the beginning of a powerful team.” Jazz said, closing the file folder she had been presenting from.
Mr. Biggs smiled slyly and licked his lips. “You make a lot of very good points Mrs. Thomas. I see no reason why we shouldn’t go through with the merger”
A smile of excitement spread across Jazz’s face as she stood to shake Mr. Biggs hand. “My sentiments exactly” She said, trying to keep her cool while a celebration party raged in her thoughts.
“I look forward to working closely with you” Mr. Biggs said grabbing Jazz’s hand for a soft handshake. He twisted her hand firmly bringing it closer to his face as he planted his large, recently moistened lips on the back of her hand. He winked.
An uneasy smile crept across Jazz’s face as she subtly yet quickly grabbed her hand back. “I’ll have my assistant send you the paperwork to finalize the deal.” She said.
Mr. Biggs nodded and his perverted smile came to light once again. He slowly picked up his cane and walked out.
When Mr. Biggs was clearly out of sight, Jazz creeped out of her office to her assistants desk.
“Yoooooooooo!” Jazz play whispered with a laugh.
Chandra looked up from what she was typing and looked at her boss who was hunched over behind her chair as if she were in the military hiding from the enemy. “Jay, what the hell is wrong with you?!” Chandra asked bursting with laughter.
“Yoooo! Oldy McOlderson just kissed my hand!! Ugghhhhhhhhh!” Jazz disgustingly said while playfully wiping the back of her hand on Chandra’s sleeve and laughing.
“Ughh don’t be putting that crusty mans lip prints on my Prada! The fuck is wrong with you?!” Chandra retorted. Giggling like a school girl she playfully hit Jazz on the shoulder.
Jazz pulled herself up and pulled out her best pimp walk around the desk and sat her right butt cheek on the lavish maple wood desk. “I got the merger though!” She smiled triumphantly.
“Whatt?! Oh my gosh! Are you serious, Jay??” Chandra said, jumping out of her seat. She hugged Jazz tightly around the neck while she continued to jump up and down with excitement.
Jazz returned the hug of excitement as they laughed happily. Jazz pulled away from the hug and held Chandra by the shoulders. “You know what this means….”
“Early day. Tootsies Bar and Grill?” Chandra asked excitedly.
“Early day. Tootsies Bar and Grill.” Jazz confirmed with a grin. “Get your stuff girl, my treat.”
As the two made their way to the elevator, Jazz called Christina’s cell to tell her the good news.
Ring Ring Ring Ring
The phone went to voicemail. Jazz, confused, hung up and dialed again. The phone rung once and went to voicemail.
“Hmmm. That’s odd.” Jazz said aloud.
“What’s odd?” Chandra asked as they rode the elevator down to the parking garage.
“Christina’s phone went to voicemail after one ring the second time I called her.” Jazz said worriedly.
“Mmmm,” Chandra said accusingly, “wonder what she could be doing… or who.” Chandra said rolling her eyes.
“Look, Cee, don’t do that.” Jazz said with a stern face. “You know that was one time and me and Christina are both strong enough to get past that. We love each other. I’m not going to hold that stupid mistake over her head forever. Besides, you know I’ve done my dirt too and she forgave me for all of it. We’re married now. See this?” Jazz held up her wedding band to emphasize her point. “This means forever. This is trust. This is commitment. Christina wouldn’t do anything to hurt me and I wouldn’t do anything to hurt her.”
“Yea, if you say so” Chandra said, rolling her eyes.
“And I do.” Jazz said, laughing slightly to lighten the mood. She pulled out her phone and texted her wife.
Baby, I have BIG news to tell you. I’m going to Tootsie’s with Chandra tho. Call me as soon as you see this. I love you.*muah*
