Jeffrey's P.O.V.

Please don't tell me that she did this to me. Loretta would not do this to me. I quickly walked out of my office and DAMN, my heart stops beating for just a second. There he was in all of his glory. He was bent over Loretta's desk holding onto his leg and wait... is that blood on his hands? It takes me only a brief moment to recover my senses. Oh.My.God...I find myself having to make a decision. I can walk over to him and ask him if he's okay or I can go over to him and TOUCH him to assess what kind of damage was done. Quickly realizing that if I were to touch him I would lose all self control I opted for the lesser of two evils.

I walk over to him and look him over and say, "Hey, are you okay? Are you bleeding? What happened?" I sound like an idiot but this is what this boy reduces me too in his presence. He says, "I cut my leg on Loretta's desk. I'm going to the bathroom to get this under control. I'll be right back." It took everything inside of me not to follow him to the bathroom. All of my concentration was on staying in the exact spot that I was standing in.

God, what am I going to do. I've got an important meeting with a major client today. How am I suppose to concentrate if Sky is literally going to be within a caress' reach assisting. Breath, just breath. I'm a grown ass man. I can do this. As he returns from the bathroom, not really looking well, I realize that NO, I'm not going to make it through this day.

He comes up to me and says, "Well, let's get started. I have alot to prepare before the client arrives." With a sound of concern in my voice I say, "Are you sure you're going to be alright? It's going to be a long day and you already look tired." The look on his face made me regret my statement. I hear him say with what sounded like a bit of fear in his voice, " Are you not confident in my ability to get you through this day? Loretta has prepared me as best she could to get you ready and if SHE didn't believe in my capabilities then she would be here in my place." Quickly I respond, "No, I have the upmost faith in you!", and with that said, I turned around and walked back to my office because I really needed to gather myself for the day ahead of me.
