Thandie was also all natural, which I loved.Confident in her own skin, the woman kept things simple, and that really was the best.While I didn’t really overly care how women groomed themselves, I just wasn’t a fan of all the extra additives that seemed to be the norm these days.I wanted the woman that I went to bed with to look the same when we woke up, and I didn’t think that was asking for too much.
At any rate, Thandie Ames was too cool for me anyway.While I could hold my own when it came to intellectual conversation, I was too academically relatable to be cool.Yeah, I knew sports, did my own yardwork, and could barbecue with the best of them, but I preferred work and research over most other things, so I wasn’t exactly a fun guy, and most women liked fun.
Now, that wasn’t to say that I didn’t have my fair share of hookups, because I did.It was rather incredible and disappointing how a lot of women were quick to spread their legs whenever they heard the word ‘doctor’, and that went double for a lot of the nurses that I worked with.Nevertheless, I didn’t sleep with co-workers, and no one could ever convince me to.No pussy was worth ruining the professional reputation that I had spent years working my ass off for.
A knock on my office door had me turning from the window, the skyline forgotten.“Come in.”
The door opened, and my secretary, Claire Bellange, poked her head inside.“Your three o’clock is here, and Levon Wills has left a second message.”
I gave her a terse nod.“Thank you, Claire.”
When she shut the door, I headed over to my desk, my phone chiming with an incoming text, and if it was my sister, I was going to end up changing my number.
Ms.Ames:She’s driving me crazy!
Despite it all, I couldn’t help but grin.
Me:What did she do now?
Ms.Ames:She sent me 2 different fabric swatches, sweet pink n delicate pink
Me:Let me guess...they’re the same shade of pink??
Ms.Ames:I’m getting drunk this weekend, so ur on wedding duty
Me:Can’t...going 2 a bachelor party 4 a co-worker
Ms.Ames:Coward
While that would offend most men, I knew better than to take her seriously.After all, my sister’s phone calls were making me want to drink also.
Chapter 2
Thandie~
To say that Kelly McKenna was driving me crazy was an understatement.While I loved the woman, this wedding was turning her into a lunatic, and she was taking the rest of us down with her.Now, it wasn’t that she was exactly a bridezilla, because she wasn’t.Kelly was more like just being picky, and her need for everything to be perfect was weighing heavily on the rest of us.
