Diamonds are a girl's best friend?

Sensual, not flashy

Jim stood stretching, lifting his leg up and getting a good stretch before doing the other. James, his running partner, was busy stretching himself next to him.

The day had dragged on with more reports and the fallout from the cutting, or thinning of the herd as most people put it, made it clear that quite a few people would be leaving and a near complete corporate reorg was on the table. What surprised him, and Jim had little to say, was that not only had Hannah lost her job, and her division as well, but they had axed Gavin's team AND Bryan's team. He had barely gotten off the phone with Gavin before Bryan had called him up to share the news and the three of them had quickly met at O'Briens, the Irish Pub and Grill, where the two were already knee deep in the shit before he came in. They were distracted enough that the sound of his heels clicking on the floor didn't bother them like it would've earlier and he spent the better part of an hour trying to get them to not drown their sorrows.

Politics is politics, he mused internally, but he knew as well as everyone else in the company that Gavin was a walking liability, with all that ass he chased after, and Bryan's numbers were pedestrian. Jim's numbers were high and the efforts he had made paid off enough to get him to the Farm, something he was internally grateful as he made sure his friends knew how to get a hold of him if they needed him, but as he left the bar and headed back to work, he couldn't help but smile internally. Maybe this was just the break he needed?

The rest of the day was spent mitigating the readjustment of jobs, word had come down from on-top that they would be restructuring quite a few departments, and so he wasn't too surprised when he got the call that he should go home early with the rest of the office he was at. As he finished, James laughed a bit. "Man, that sucks..."

Jim nodded and the two of them set off for a jog. "Tell me about it..."

It took a good thirty minutes to complete their two laps and after hitting 4 miles, James motioned for them to take a breather and promptly collapsed on the grass. Jim laughed a little but felt equally winded and placed a hand on his hip to steady himself before he wiped his forehead with a towel he had brought from home. "Well, with that, I think I'm going to head on back before it gets too dark."

James nodded and after shaking Jim's hand, looked up at him again. "Say, you got plans for tomorrow?"

Jim thought for a moment and shook his head. "Nope, going to be a bit late for work but should be free."

"You want to go grab a few beers and play some pool?"

Before he realized it, Jim nodded and accepted. Only after he got home and finished showering off did he think about how weird the invitation seemed at first but then instantly shook it off and glanced at the quiz sitting on the table.

11.) IF YOU WERE A GIRL...WOULD YOU WEAR JEWELRY?

Jim, being caught up in the magazines he was reading, instantly answered. Yes, I would have several piercings for earrings and would love wearing them and a necklace or two, nothing too fancy for daily wear, but I would also know how to accessorize when needed to. It took a few moments for him to finish writing and when he was done, he turned and slipped off the small golden earrings he was wearing and placed in some studs for sleeping, something he had always done and watched others fail to do (and pay the price for it!) Laura wasn't one to really like jewelry so he often had to talk with his sister about it. Tara was all about jewelry so when her brother asked her about it, she literally jumped over it.

As he turned and fell asleep, Jim's wedding ring on the table slowly disappeared and was replaced by two rings, one a simple silver band and the other a broader white gold band with a princess cut diamond, about 1.5 Karats. Inside the band had a simple inscription that appeared, with the initials J.W. and J.C. in them. It was perfectly suited and sized for his hand.

12.) IF YOU WERE A GIRL...WHAT SIZE WOULD YOUR BREASTS BE?

Filling Cups like...?
