Chapter 2
Jacqueline was walking out of a bid meeting with three other top architects in her firm, and BMW's project manager Tom Levitt. She had just made the best sale ever, and Tom was impressed enough to pick her design. GQ was also renovating their building and she had gotten that project just two weeks before. At this rate, she was unstoppable, that was until she saw Josh talking to the firm's secretary. Just before the meeting, she had questioned Jacqueline's ability to be unfazed by his charm and the amazing smile he was now boasting. 'At least that huge smile was all for me' Jacquie thought. 'Not that it should matter, because I don't like him' she responded to herself.
She stopped so abruptly Tom slammed into her, taking the opportunity to flirt with her. Usually when she was with the work crowd men didn't know what to do with her, she was feminine, outgoing, sweet, and beautiful so they A. didn't take her seriously and B. just wanted to flirt with her. But she had a feisty side, and so half the time they were caught off guard. The combo made them 25% confused 15% intrigued the 100% turned on. This gave her an edge, and helped her to hold her own in the male dominated field.
Josh's smile faded faster than ice begins to melt, and he felt a strong pang of jealousy.
But before he could even let the anger set in he realized she was talking to one of his frat brothers from back in college.
"Tom?"
"Josh!?"
Jacqueline was quickly forgotten, or so she thought, as the guys reminisced on old times. She failed to notice Josh's body continuously inching closer to hers, and his large hand on the delicate nape of her neck. 'Well there goes that idea' she realized, she had always had a rule, NO DATING JOSH"S FRIENDS. It happened twice once before she knew josh and once after, both ended messy.
After the guys were done with their Kumbayah Josh turned to Jacqueline, and handed her latte. For you he said, as she examined the swirly phone number on the cup, next to it said "you can find a way to figure out my name."
"Funny, I thought the hard part was supposed to be getting the number, not the other way around"
