About Making Sense:
Adalyn Sage.
I'm thirty-seven, a mother, a divorcee, and I’m ready to date again.
I need a man willing to love me for who I am, despite what size I am. Only finding such a guy is harder than it’s cracked up to be. Afterall, I'm a little clumsy and just a tad outspoken… that is unless I’m in front of a man so good-looking my panties melt.
Then I become an absolute weirdo.
Case in point: Vice Salvatore. Stunning. Growly. And also my boss.
Thank God his a**hole attitude put my racing heart at ease and changed my lust to hate.
Nope. I don’t care for him. Won’t. I’ll continue to ignore my ladybits and stay strong.
At least for a while.

It wasn’t until I was sitting in the car watching Drew run toward me
that I remembered I hadn’t left the file Vice asked for on his desk. I thumped
my palm against my forehead. I’d have to make a trip back to the office. There
was no way I would call someone to fix my mistake. Especially, if Kylie found
out, I would never hear the end of it.
When the door came open, and Drew was in with his seat
belt buckled, I started the car and told him, “One quick pit stop before
heading home.”
“Where we going?”
“I have to pop back to the office for a second.”
“Cool, I haven’t seen where you work yet.”
Of course, there
had been a reason before. Luckily, I was proud of my new job and the fact I
could show it off to my son.
“Will Mr. Vice be there?” he asked eagerly. “Since he
couldn’t make it to my last few games, he might come to the one this weekend.”
I could hear the hope in his voice. Please
let Vice be out so my son won’t feel the
disappointment. Drew’s last three games of basketball had been at a loss
also. He’d been a little down after it, not that it lasted long, but still, I hated to see him upset in any way, and
I had a feeling Vice had only been acting politely when he’d agreed to come
watch Drew one time.
“We can certainly see. Though, he is a very busy man.”
I caught his nod and how his mouth dipped. “I know,
Mom. Like Dad’s always busy.”
Goddang John for not calling last week or remembering
to call him back when Drew had tried to reach out. Drew missed his father and
loved getting calls from him. John had been a great dad when he was around, but
since his absence, it was like he’d forgotten he ever had a son. It hurt me to
watch Drew go through his own pain.
“This is where
I work, Drew, and I have to park under here.” I drove into the underground
parking garage. “Hey, did I tell you there’s a cafeteria in this building, and they have the best ice cream?
Maybe we could get one after I drop a file off.”
Finally, a small smile appeared. “’Kay.”
“Awesome, let’s go.” I grabbed my bag from the
passenger seat and climbed out of the car. Drew was already out and bouncing
from one foot to the other.
“Are there scary clowns hiding down here?” he asked.
That dang clown video a boy from his previous school showed him had Drew scared
for months of any dark places.
“No. They’re not real, remember?”
He nodded but
clutched my hand tightly as we walked to the elevator. Someone must have just
gotten off since it arrived quickly. I told Drew what floor to press. He did
and came back to my side then placed his arm around my waist to lean into me.
It was moments like those, and many others for that matter, where I wished he
wouldn’t grow up. I knew the day would come when he’d be too embarrassed to be
seen with his mom or hold my hand, kiss my cheek and hug me when he wanted to.
The doors opened, as did Drew’s mouth. “Wow, Mom, this
place is huge.” He stepped off before me and spun in a circle to take it all
in.
“It sure is, but come this way, and I’ll show you my desk.” Hand in hand we made our way past
Kylie, who seemed surprised I had a little boy with me. She mustn’t have known
I had a child. I was sure after I’d told Deidre, it would have been around the
office. After all, from what Henley had said, she was a gossiper around the
floor.
“This place is
cool, Mom,” Drew said as he sat in my swivel chair and spun around and around.
Ah, the things that amuse young minds. Maybe if I didn’t have that chair, he
wouldn’t be thinking it was as cool.
“I like it too, Drew.” I smiled and grabbed the file
near the computer. “I’ll just be a second, then ice cream.”
“’Kay.” He beamed with a spin of the seat.
The steps I took found my heart getting excited, yet
my brain wished he wasn’t about. His door was always closed so I couldn’t tell if he was in or not. I knocked anyway,
just in case, and when I heard no answer, I sighed in relief, only my belly
bottomed out in disappointment.
With a need to get out of there quickly in case he
arrived back, I opened the door and stopped dead.
My boss was standing up against the wall with his back
to me. If it wasn’t for the feminine hands at his waist, I would have been
wondering what he was up to or thought he was going crazy by staring at the
wall.
His head turned as I entered, but he didn’t move. His
eyes widened in surprise from seeing me.
He opened his mouth as if about to speak, but I got in before he could. “Sorry,
I just forgot the file.” I waved it in my hand and quickly stepped in further
to place it on his desk. Spinning, I made my way back to the door as my heart
made nice friends with my feet.
“Adalyn,” he called.
I didn’t pause. “Got to go. Have fun.” Seriously? Have
fun? I didn’t give two hoots if he was going to have fun with some floozy in his office.
