‘’Sssh ssh, lets listen…’’ I chuckled placing a finger to her lip.

‘’…okay fine, don’t pick up’’ he sighed ‘’but you better have a good explanation for missing work again’’ he huffed, and with another sigh said ‘’well I may as well tell you now seeing as obviously you’re too busy or whatever to pick up. And that’s that I have an entire conference call of Hong Kong investors all talking to me at once, with an incessant babble of ‘Me ho, hee hung, chee wau’ in my poor ears. Ugh, it’s infuriating’’

‘’Bah ha ha ha!’’ giggled Taylor instantly ducking her head under the covers to laugh, with me doing the same as nothing on this earth was funnier than when Skipp was in one of his irritated moods.

‘’I swear, I can’t make head nor fucking tails of it’’ he gruffed again in irritation, which only made us laugh all the more.

‘’…according to Google Translate, they either want to worship your face cream while skiing on a mango, or they want to extend their shareholder's guarantee with us. I do hope for your sakes ole boy it’s the latter, as I don’t see you loaning them your fancy face cream to go skiing with, ha ha’’

‘’That’s it, I’m dead’’ I said laughing so hard under the covers with Taylor, that my body actually began to shake in hysterics.

‘’Anyway, call me back as soon as you get this message’’ (Click).

‘’Finally, I thought he’d never leave’’ I chuckled coming up for air, as I swiped back the covers for us making Taylor laugh out loud again ‘’now, where were we…’’ I smiled, slinking myself back down the bed and burying my face between her open legs.

LATER THAT EVENING…

‘’Another award-winning meal I must say’’ grinned Taylor dabbing the corners of her mouth with her napkin, after adorably wolfing down the chicken teriyaki and coconut steamed rice meal I’d made us both for dinner that night…guess I’d exhausted her to starvation, I smirked to myself, with the man in me naturally feeling smug that I’d satisfied her well in the bedroom.

‘’…I guess with the luxury of room service available, I was somewhere under the rotten assumption you couldn’t cook’’ she chuckled ‘’but that was absolutely delicious! Thank you so much’’

‘’My pleasure sweetheart, I’m happy you liked it’’ I smiled at her ‘’uh uh uh, don’t even think about it’’ I said taking the dirty plates from her hand that she picked up to carry to the kitchen ‘’you stay right there and relax, I won’t have you doing any more work’’

‘’Oh not at all, I’m happy to’’ she beamed ‘’in fact, I rather like keeping myself busy, gives me a sense of achievement’’ she beamed, and off into the kitchen she bounded taking the plates from me.

I courteously followed in behind her and waited as she placed them into the dishwasher, before taking her gently by the arm and turning her around to look at me ‘’what we shared Taylor is very precious to me, and it’s now placed our relationship on a completely different spectrum -one where I just wouldn’t feel comfortable anymore having you continue your PA duties’’ I told her ‘’we’ll of course find the new direction you wish your life to go in, but from here on out I’m relieving you from your duties, because no lady I share my bed with should ever at the same time be working for me. That would just feel wrong’’ I smiled warmly down at her.

My smile however slowly faded when seeing the sudden look of hurt appear in Taylor's eyes, which naturally left me feeling a little confused, as I thought what I was doing was of the utmost consideration in accordance to how my heart was feeling for her.

‘’Hudson’’ Taylor said taking me by the hand and leading me over to the couch with her ‘’as sweet a gesture as that is, and it really is baby, and I do understand why you said it. But at the same time I would be completely heartbroken if I couldn’t do my PA job anymore’’ she told me ‘’because I want you to know Hudson that this is the most fun I have ever had, and it means even more because I get to be with you’’

‘’Awe, now that’s sweet’’ I smiled at her, and gently touched my hand to her face, a little unsure of what to say now as for me, it would still kind of feel wrong having her as my employee.

‘’There’s nothing morally wrong about it Hudson’’ she said reading my mind somehow ‘’if anything, it will make our working relationship that much stronger’’

‘’You really are a sweetheart you know that’’ I smiled warmly at her.

‘’I was thinking more pain in the butt, but we can go with what you said’’ she teased making me laugh.

‘’In all seriousness though, are you sure you want to continue to do this? Because I don’t in any way want you to feel obligated, given of course the situation in which we met’’

‘’You have my word baby that I don’t want anything to change, I want to continue to work for you’’ she said leaning in and kissing me sweetly.

‘’With me’’ I corrected politely ‘’we’re a team now sweetheart, you and me against the world’’

It appeared that was the acceptance she wanted, maybe even needed, as Taylor warmly flung her arms around me and kissed me tight!

‘’While we’re having this moment, I want to take the time and thank you for opening up and sharing everything you did with me yesterday. I know that couldn’t have been easy to do, for me either. Most of all though it felt right, because the person I was sharing it with was you. I trust you wholeheartedly Taylor, and as cliché as it might sound, I believe on some karmic level that we were meant to walk into each other’s lives that night’’

‘’Oh Hudson’’ she said, her sweet baby blues tearing up as she looked at me ‘’I was nervous to say it, but I feel that exact same way too’’ she said gently wrapping her arms around my neck and holding me tight ‘’you saved me from a hell I was continuing to live, one your sweet generosity pulled me out of and breathed life back into me. I owe you everything. But more than that, I owe myself the opportunity to truly make us work, because every day with you so far has been a dream come true. And that dream shone brighter last night as I opened up and let go of a few demons from the past. I didn’t think I had it in me, but you helped me see there really are good people in the world still, and I’m lucky to have found myself one of the special ones’’

‘’Awe, come here baby, don’t cry’’ I said softly cocooning her in my arms, and we sat quietly holding one another, feeling the strength we had empower us both and the new journey we were set to embark together.

‘’Make love to me again…’’ she whispered into my ear, and I happily obliged as I lay Taylor down on the couch and removed the shirt of mine she was wearing, before unzipping down my trousers and kissing her passionately in the quiet stillness of our living room.

‘’How about we make this as romantic as hell’’ I grinned down at her.

‘’What do you have in mind?’’
