The Old China Pearl Inn

[cgraven]

Well they do come first young lady

 

[Angeleyz]

*trudges into the Inn clad in a pair of well loved sweats and a large black tshirt that had the annoying habit of falling off her shoulder*

Howdies to all that might be about....

*plopping onto the couch and raising up her knees to brace her notepad against, she immediately starts scratching out some words for a response for a certain propieter*

 

[havinfun50]

Popping into the Inn I see Angel curled up in her usual spot. I make my way over and hive her a warm kiss on the cheek.

"Hey Trouble, I see you're scribbling away furiously. Did you have a good day today?"

 

[Angeleyz]

*her eyes light up when she sees HF, smiling at his peck on the cheek*

Hiya partner... My day was... Interesting to say the least. Yours?

 

[havinfun50]

I smile and sit heavily in my chair. "My day... can be summed up in one word... Quickbooks." I take a sip of my water and open my pad, "but really, it wasn't that bad, just the drudge and trudge that needs to be done."

 

[Angeleyz]

*lips twitching at his words* sounds fun...

Work hubby said I almost qualified for cougar title today. Course I almost kicked him (but since he knows jujitsu I was smart and didn't).

 

[havinfun50]

Smiling and looking over at her bare shoulder that has escaped from her shirt. "I'm thinking if he saw you in that top you'd requalify for MILF status in a heartbeat."

 

[Angeleyz]

*blushes a little even as she rolls her eyes*

Me thinks Mari needs to get healthy quick and help you 'let off some steam'...

 

[havinfun50]

Laughing, "Merely an observation," giving her sly grin, "I'd hate for you to be misclassified and resigned to merely hunting pool boys, gardeners and the occasional freshly minted College graduate."

I take a sip of my water to wash down another Zyrtec. "I was really hoping to get a few more posts done tonight, but my sinuses are messing with my creative mojo."

 

[Angeleyz]

*a startled laugh escapes from her and her eyes widen*

Omg - you came closer to guessing my story than I thought you would... How DO you do that?!?

 

[Angeleyz]

I'm sorry to hear that you're suffering though.

I've been fighting a headache for the last 2-3 days, but I think mine's lack of sleep and not sinuses, although it could be a combo of the two.

 

[havinfun50]

"A dirty mind knows no limits." Smiling, "but now I'm really curious how one 'almost' qualifies as a cougar?"

 

[havinfun50]

I'm sorry to hear that you're suffering though.

I've been fighting a headache for the last 2-3 days, but I think mine's lack of sleep and not sinuses, although it could be a combo of the two.

I had an ear infection over the weekend, but I got some bug killers and hoped they would kill both, but the ear is good and the sinus still sucks. I think I'm making another trip to the doc for a bigger caliber bug killer.

 

[Angeleyz]

Well it all starts with my headache...

My team has been a bit... concerned for me. It's actually quite sweet of them when I know I've not been my normal self. I explained that I was fairly sure my headache was caused by sleep deprivation - both from my son's late night visits and my hearing things at night because my alarm system is not functioning correctly... It's amazing how many noises one can hear in a normally quiet house when you know the alarm is wonky. The alarm won't be fixed until next week.

So after our team meeting, my intern (who is leaving to move back home next week) comes into my office and offers to spend the night on my couch so that I can feel safer.

< insert lots of wide eyed blinking and way inappropriate thoughts >

I thanked him for the offer, but declined (dammit!). When I mentioned it to my work hubby, he started laughing as he pretty much figured out that there'd be more danger, then less. I told him I didn't think my hubby would appreciate it if the kids were to tell him that Mommy's "friend" spent the night while he was gone.

So very tempting on so many levels, but the cougar factor comes in because he's basically young enough to be my son (if I had started early).

 

[havinfun50]

I spit water all over my notebook, soaking the pages as I laugh out loud. "Oh my God, that poor kid has no idea how close he was to writing a letter that starts with 'I never thought it would happen to me...'"

 

[Angeleyz]

*nods gravely*

Although.... He's made a few comments in the last week that make me wonder if he's really that clueless

 

[havinfun50]

Cocking an eyebrow, "Oh... do tell. I'm sure he had Work Hubby in stitches."

 

[Angeleyz]

No work hubby was laughing at me because of the temptation and my reactions to it.

 

[havinfun50]

Did the intern make you blush more than work hubby?

 

[Angeleyz]

I honestly don't know... Thankfully no one was around for either conversation, but I think I was in more shock than anything when the sleep over was offered. So hopefully the blush was at a minimum.

Work hubby, on the other hand, excels at making me blush.

 

[havinfun50]

Well on the bright side the lamb will leave the arena next week, and then you'll both be safe.

I'm thinking, it might be time to hit the sheets dear. As much fun as it is to chat, it's time to get my beauty sleep.

 

[Angeleyz]

I was just thinking the same thing, sweetie. Hitting the sheets that is.

 

[havinfun50]

Giving her a kiss on the cheek, "Well in that case... I'll take the sweet dreams and I'll leave the last bit up to you."

Making my way toward the door.

"Goodnight Angel."

 

[Angeleyz]

Oh sticky fingers is definitely on the agenda...

Sweet dreams though. Hope you feel better.

 

[cgraven]

Morning Angel! Sticky fingers young lady!

I am sure there is one or more of the lads here at the Inn who would help you out Miss. ish

Your poor Miss Johnson caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.
