OFFICE RELATIONSHIP (WAKING UP AT RON'S)

The next morning I found myself awaken by the smell of bacon and eggs. I rose up from the bed remembering my whereabouts, I quickly reached for my cell phone that was laying on the nightstand next to me and called Wanda. Wanda, my neighbor and friend was a little crazy but dependable. She was so excited to hear from me, expressing her concern of my whereabouts; she offered to have her brother come pick me up. She explained that her brother, Rico was crazy and the type of person who would leave you standing in the cold. She informed me that she would have him come get me at 3:00, after he gets off work. She also informed me that there might be a couple of men with him, but not to worry, they are just her cousins and there all talk, no action.

As soon as we hung up, I started gathering my belongings.  Searching for my clothing, I found them lying across the chair on the other side of the room. Making a mad dash, I hurried over to the chair and rushed to put my clothing on, not wanting Ron to think or consider that he had any opportunity to get his way with me again.

Entering the kitchen area, I saw that Ron had made breakfast.  He was sitting at the bar drinking coffee when his eye focus towards me.

“Hey baby!” He said with excitement. He went on with telling me how he had made me breakfast and offers me a seat at the bar, next to him. I sat quickly as he poured me a cup of coffee and offered cream, which I accepted.

“So, what would you like to do today?” He asked.

“Well Ron, I am going home today. My friend bother will be coming to pick me up at 3:00.” I explained.

‘Wow!’ He said wearing a shock expression on his face.

‘I’m really enjoying your company and was hoping you would stay the rest of the weekend with me.” Ron sounded disappointed.

“I wish I could stay, but I have a lot to do at home.”
I begin eating my food that I must say, was delicious, as Ron looked.
 
“Baby, is something wrong? Did I say or do something wrong to you? He asked.
I finished chewing the food in my mouth before answering. 

“No! You have been wonderful, it’s just that I have a lot to do and have to go.”
Ron raised his eyebrow forcing his face into a look that said “OH REALLY”.
He walked over to the counter and placed his plate in a sink of dishwater. I could tell he was thinking hard and wondered what his next move would be. He asked if I wanted, more coffee and I answered no think you and than abruptly, he looked in my direction and spoke.

“Hey baby, is there a problem? Was last night not pleasing to you? “

“I ’m not perfect, but I can work at being better. So, tell me baby, is there a problem?

I hated to hurt Ron’s feelings, but he asked.
I placed my cup down on the counter, looked in Ron’s direction and spoke in a soft slow tone.

“I was a little disappointed. I felt that what we did together was for you and not for me”’. I decided not to mention his size problem, not wanting to hurt his pride. I did complement him on his gentlemen behavior and express my feeling of respect for him as a man, trying to help soften the matters at hand.

 Ron seemed to be a little upset, but not crazy upset enough for me to run for the door or call 911. I believe that he was more hurt and disappointed.
