"This is just what I need, having to drive to my boss's house at 11 O Clock at night and now it's pouring with rain and the car is being pelted with debris."
Hunched over the steering will, trying to see through the windscreen, Kelly slowed down as she approached a small bridge, it was covered in water but didn't look to deep. She took it slowly and carefully and made it to the other side without incident.
As she made her way up the driveway to her boss's huge house, or could it be called a mansion (She really must ask for a pay rise) she thought about the call she had 2 hours ago. "Kelly this is Jenson, I need you to go by the office, pick up the pack for the meeting with Thomas next week and bring it to my house asap."
"Sure" she said, "No Problem." She'd only had the job 3 months what was she supposed to do say no.
Kelly pulled up outside the house, turned the engine off and then ran to the front door. Running didn't do her much good as she still managed to get soaked. Shaking off some of the rain she pressed the doorbell and waited.
She was expecting her very smart, tall dark and ok it's a clichΓ© by oh so ever handsome boss to answer the door. Instead there stood a woman wearing a thin dressing gown slightly opened and what looked like sexy underwear underneath.
Kelly wasn't quite sure where to look but she was exactly what Kelly would expect for Jenson and although hadn't realised her boss was married, she fit, not to tall, blonde and slightly curvy. The sight of this woman standing there obviously quite comfortable in her own skin made Kelly even more self-conscious of the fact that she was stood in Jeans and a T-shirt , wet jeans and T-shirt at that.
Kelly became aware of the fact that she was staring at the woman and the woman was just stood there with a smile on her face.
"Oh I'm ...I..." Not knowing what to say Kelly randomly held up the folder that was in her hand to chest height so the other woman could see.
The woman laughed, "Hi, you must be Kelly, come in, Jenson said to expect you."
Kelly walked in and as the woman closed the door behind her glanced around the hallway, the house was obviously very tastefully decorated and had pricy artwork dotted on the walls.
"I'm Katrina, it's nice to finally meet you." She said with a smile.
"Oh yes, nice to meet you to." Kelly repeated, not really knowing what else to say, looking about the hall way and starting to feel uncomfortable she pointed at the folder again.
"Right let's go find Jenson shall we." Katrina took Kelly's arm, like they were the best of friends and walked her along the hallway. There was a large staircase to the left and doors on both sides, they walked up to one and Katrina gave a light knock.
"Come in." There it was, that deep gravelly voice, guaranteed to turn her into a bumbling idiot. This man had such an odd effect on her from day 1 and although she really believes at some point she will become immune, this has yet to happen.
Katrina gave her a slight nudge as she opened the door for her, retook her arm and walked her in and up to a huge wooden desk. Kelly was sure the room was amazing but she didn't see anything but Jenson.
"Here she is." Katrina said giving Kelly one final nudge.
Kelly had never seen Jenson in anything other than an immaculate 3-piece suit, clean shaven and even the hair on his head in the perfect place. She really didn't think any of them would dare move.
But sat before her, with his head down was a very different Jenson, hair dishevelled, 5 O Clock shadow, no tie and shirt unbuttoned at the top. Wow this was a VERY different Jenson, but as he looked up at her, the one thing that had definitely not changed was that dark stare. Oh Yea he had that down, kind of of Clint Eastwood meets Chanum Tatum.
She wasn't sure how long she was staring but she suddenly realised he was stood there with his hand out and Katrina was stood grinning at her.
"Uhh um sssorry." Kelly said handing over the documents, she was sure she saw a knowing look between Jenson and Katrina but dismissed it as quickly as the thought came.
Katrina made small talk while Jenson looked over the paper work, nodded, frowned, tutted a few times and then looked up and said "Thanks for grabbing these so quickly Kelly, especially on a Friday night, I'll see you Monday."
Guess I'm dismissed Kelly thought. "Sure, yes, no problem.", Kelly was quite happy to make a quick exit and started out of the office and turned to the right, only to be grabbed by the arm by Katrina.
"This way dear."
She said a hastily goodbye and breathed a sigh of relief as she heard the door close behind her.
Back in the car she just sat there for a second, inhaled, exhaled. "Ok, get a grip girl." She started the car and headed down the long driveway, past the line of trees and to the bridge. Which was now underwater! What was she going to do, she really didn't want to go back but had no other choice, she turned the car around and headed back up the driveway.
Back at the house she explained to Jenson and Katrina and asked if there was another way out or would they have a larger vehicle that could take her over the bridge, or even a boat she half joked.
Jenson explained that this happens from time to time. "You'll have to spend the night and we can see how things are in the morning."
It wasn't what Kelly wanted, in fact anything but, however she couldn't see a choice. "Katrina can you take her up to the guest bedroom please" Jenson instructed.
Katrina lead her up a curved staircase along the corridor and towards one of the many doors. "There are toiletries in the on suite, plus towels etc etc . Hmm I'll go grab you something to sleep in."
