‘’So, how about this weekend?’’ grinned Skipp

‘’This weekend?’’

‘’For your party silly’’ he said rolling his eyes at me ‘’it’s a little short notice I know, but never underestimate me, because I’m more than confident I can pull something fabulous off this Sunday that both yourself and Taylor will really enjoy’’ he beamed.

‘’Sounds awesome buddy, but unfortunately the party will have to wait until next week’’ I told him.

‘’Oh? And why’s that?’’

‘’I got something special planned that I want to show Taylor this weekend’’ I winked at him.

‘’Well then, isn’t she the lucky lady’’ he smiled gulping down the rest of his wine.

‘’We’ll be taking an extended weekend, one that’ll see me return back to the office on Tuesday, thought I’d give you a face-to-face heads up this time’’ I grinned at him. He returned my grin with a small smile and poured himself another glass of red wine ‘’I want you to know I appreciate you Skipp and all you do here to keep Tazer running healthy, it doesn’t go unnoticed. And as a friend, I thank you in advance for understanding my few absentee days of late…we’re still in that new ‘getting to know each other’ phase Taylor and me, and I feel it important to dedicate that time preciously with her’’ I told him honestly ‘’we’ll do the party next week buddy you have my word’’ I said patting him warmly on the shoulder.

‘’Well then’’ he said looking at me now with a wide grin ‘’just gives me that much time extra to make this the best party ever’’

CHAPTER 30

TAYLOR POV:

Even with the insanely generous salary I now made, Hudson rarely ever let me put my hands inside my pockets – niftily excusing most purchases I made as obligatory expenditure, required as part of my PA work expenses.

I of course knew what he was doing, and as sweet as it was him wanting to secure my earnings so reasons of poverty could never befall me again, I on occasion had to put my foot down much like I did that Friday night for example, when Hudson very sweetly asked where I would like him to take me on our first official date as a couple?

‘’Well, I would like to treat you for once Hudson’’ I told him, and quickly placed my finger to his lips before he could say anything ‘’and I don’t want to hear about tradition, and how the guy has to pay for the date and blah blah blah’’ I chuckled ‘’I don’t believe in all that. I believe in two people who very much enjoys each other’s company, finding the time to spend as much of it together regardless of who fits the bill’’ I told him ‘’with that said, it would mean the world to me if I could make our first date memorable, by finally taking us to that theatre musical I was telling you about’’

‘’Your wish is my command’’ grinned Hudson, teasingly holding his hands up in surrender, before wrapping them around my waist and pulling me up close to him for a romantic kiss against the sleek black of his Bugatti sports car, outside The Capital Grille where we’d just finished lunch.

‘’And my wish is to make you happy’’ I smiled up at him.

‘’Consider your every wish come true then beautiful, because I’ve not felt happiness like this in a very long time. And it’s all because of you’’

‘’And mine because of you’’

We stood kissing in the sweet romance we felt that separated our world from the world around us, before Hudson pulled back putting on a sad puppy dog face, at unfortunately having to leave me and return back to work.

‘’I better get going too, I still have those emails you need me to send out, as well as going over the new business card prints for Tazer’s London office’’

‘’I wouldn’t trust anyone but you or Skipp to do that, so believe me when I say I’m incredibly grateful’’ he said leaning down and kissing his lips against my neck.

‘’And just how is our blonde bombshell friend?’’ I teased.

‘’Oh goodness, how could I forget? Skipp wants to throw us a party next week’’

‘’A party? For what?’’

‘’Okay so it’s a little odd, well, not so much if you know him ha ha, but he wants to throw a party to celebrate us being together as a couple’’

‘’He does??’’ I chuckled.

‘’Yeah, I um…I kind of gave him a hard time about flirting with you the other night, and I guess he was feeling kind of bad about it. I felt bad also, and so I said yes, as I know it would make him happy doing this for us’’

‘’He’s an odd individual’’ I laughed ‘’but that’s actually very sweet of him, and yeah, I’m rather looking forward now to this party’’ I grinned.

‘’He’ll be happy to hear that’’ smiled Hudson.

‘’Right then, well I’ll let you get back to work, and we’ll meet for our date later which I’ll make reservations for us to enjoy the show in our own private booth’’
