Bring The Car Around

That next morning was a mad dash of decisions all within the first 30 minutes of waking up. I immediately got a call from Mr. Phoenix telling me to get ready for a car to pick me up. I was concerned a bit, given the conversation I had last night I didn’t know if this was some way for X-Change to get rid of me but from the sounds of it I didn’t have much of a choice.

“Wait… how do you know my home address?” Was the last question I was able to ask before I got hung up on, leaving that unanswered. I needed to learn to just kind of let things like that go, because I wasn’t gonna like the answer.

Walking out into the kitchen my head was still spinning, grumbling under my breath as I tried to remember how exactly I liked my coffee in the morning. But my eyes widened as I looked up and was greeted by an incredible sight standing in my kitchen.

“Well good morning sleepy-head~!” Autumn says in her beautiful sing-songy voice as she saunters over to me and gives me a big kiss on the cheek. “I made you coffee! I heard you were on the phone and it sounded serious. I assumed you needed to go into work…”

How she said that last sentence, a mix of disappointment and anger made my heart sink… but I was also just kind of happy I didn’t have to try and remember my coffee order anymore. With a small smile I took the drink and sighed.

“Unfortunately. This new client is a real pain in my ass…” I say softly as my eyes glance up at the clock, wondering just how long it would take for them to get here. “Very demanding. But it could also have the potential to give me the biggest bust of my life!” I say, realizing the irony of that statement immediately after I say it.

“Well, just don’t stay out too late tonight babe.” Autumn says, giving me a quick kiss on the cheek as her delicate hands starts to rub and massage my back, relieving a bunch of the pent up muscles I had back there. “Maybe we can have a repeat of last night if you get back in time?” She giggles, kissing my cheek again before standing up and glancing out the window.

“Holy shit…” she says softly, her eyes widening looking like she had seen a ghost. “You said this company was rich, right?” She asks, glancing back at me with a small smirk.

“Yeah… why?” I respond as I stand up and look out the window, stunned by the car I saw pulling up and sitting outside our driveway, with a very familiar figure sitting in the back seat.

“Holy shit…” I whisper to myself before standing up and grabbing my briefcase off of the kitchen counter. “Alright babe! Well, I gotta go and-“ I start to say, but Autumn puts one finger to my lips and starts to speak in a huff.

“Are you kidding me? I’m gonna go meet the man who’s been making your life a living hell!” She says… before a quick smirk grows on her face. “And I’m gonna figure out how the hell he drives a car like that!” She giggles, before pulling down her top to cover her breasts and sashaying outside… not even bothering to put on any pants.

“Oh… great…” I grumble under my breath as I follow behind her.
