Stolen Moments- Running Away to You

I know your type

"I still cannot believe you got them to agree! You saved me weeks! Do you hear me Ryn? Weeks! Weeks of researching comps and preparing the data for the higher ups to negotiate."

I took another sip, smiling into my high ball of whatever nasty stuff I was handed. I was really, really good at my job. I'm guessing my counter part in legal, Calvin just realized his boss was not discounting my worth.

The marketing lead on our project just joined us. She was intimidating as hell, but we got on well. "Yes, Ryn, you pulled off a miracle to say the least. I'm glad you were promoted as a lead in business development. Calvin, get me a martini."

Calvin nods and orders Veronica one and looks at my glass. "Want another, Ryn?"

"I wouldn't mind something different. I'm not one to turn down a celebratory drink, but this tasted horrid! haha"

Calvin chuckles and take my glass. Sniffing his eyes go wide. "Did you order scotch? I though you ordered a bourbon?

"Haha I thought I did too, but I thought the house had changed or something."

Veronica and Calvin both shake their heads laughing with me. "Calvin, you're in charge of her orders."

Once Calvin returned with our second round, we collected the finance lead terri, then made or way over to a side high top. Terri wasn't one to go out often, but she and I worked so hard on preparing numbers for this contract, she said she'd earned a glass of wine at least.

"Ladies!" Calvin, the best gay friend you could ever have got our attention. "Look at the reflection of those fine specimens sitting at the table opposite us!"

Terri, so shyly glance then quickly turned away. She was so odd about what her husband was okay with. It used to get me fired up. Now I just giggle- her loss. Veronica and I look next as Calvin turns, looking that direction. "I swear there is a variety to chose from- mature dark and broody, foreign lean and quiet nice. Oh and you, muscles for muscles with your slim fit- mhmm. And oh who is that young smiling cocky bastard- oh I want him to eat me up!"

"Cal! You're gonna scare the other customers haha" Veronica laughs then really focuses on that reflection. Guess she saw something she liked. I couldn't make out a face if my life depended on it. I wasn't that concerned. I wasn't even looking.

For the next hour, we laugh and joke about work, men or lack there of and all sorts of things. At 6pm. Terri excuses herself for the evening, thanking us again for the invite. Veronica soon follows when we tease her about how "urban" that third martini made her.

"Veronica, come on, I'll walk you out to get your uber. I'd hate to leave a young black woman to her own devices."

"haha Ryn," Veronica put her arm on my shoulder as we walked out front. "I might teach you how to fight dirty- pulling weave and shit. haha"

"Oh Lord, lady. Message me when you get to your apartment. There's your car- select it in you app."

We say our goodbyes as and she clicks on her phone, getting in the car. I walk back in and see Calvin has moved my bag and almost empty drink to the bar beside him. Good call. I tap his shoulder and sit down

"You get Veronica or VaNiqua in the car?"

I giggle, "Veronica was slowly leaving me. Has she always been like that?
