There was only a month left until the ball and Beau was completely stressed. Jeff had to go back to work and actually be the CEO of his own company and I didn't have any help with direction as Beau just couldn't sit still long enough and tell me. That morning Beau sent me over to Jeff's office to pick up several packets apparently with information for the ball. I was tired and wanted nothing more than to get away from the office and Beau. He was chaotic and we didnt even talk to me , merely mumbled or sent his secretary for me. I had a feeling he had a relationship in mind when we went away for the getaway and no just a weekend fling. Oh well. I didn't have the time to worry about his feelings or what he wanted. I had committed myself to Jake and now I just needed to figure out how to tell him.
I took a cab only part way to Jeff's office and then walked the rest of the way to clear my mind. The thing I missed the most about home, about Texas, was the stars and the fresh air. I was able to breathe in the air, think through my problems and come up with a solution. Here all I felt was more and more problems. By the time I got to Jeff's the only solution I could come up with was to take a week off and go back home. I just had to figure out how to ask Beau for the time off.
Jeff's front desk assistant buzzed me up and let me go straight to his office. We had spent some time over there also
during the planning of this ball so I was a familiar face. The three of us had actually gotten quite close. And I was surprised at how much we told each other without hesitation. It was a beautiful friendship we had started, of course minus the sex with Beau part. And I'm sure the friendship would have been stronger had we spent actual time together and not working time.
