Myles and his Grandpa had scheduled their return flight for later in the day, so they could do some sightseeing in Orlando. But Myles hadn’t been in the mood to sightsee, he still felt aggravated about not meeting up with Kayla. Their time together had meant a lot to him, and he’d wanted to see her beyond the cruise. They hadn’t even exchanged phone numbers. He’d decided to make sure he located her when they returned to Ohio. He’d surmised that since they only lived an hour away from each other, how hard could it really be?
Now, two months later, Myles was starting to believe that maybe it was hard to bump into Kayla even with their small location distance. Since returning from vacation, it seemed as if the word had spread about his abilities as a surgeon. His patients had increased, and he was feeling as if he hadn’t taken a vacation at all. His days were spent either in surgery or surgery consults. His nights were filled with visual reels of his time spent between Kayla’s luscious legs.
This nightly reminder of her also caused him to wonder why he hadn’t forgotten about her yet. He even laughed when he remembered their disastrous introduction. “How did I go from wanting to wring her neck to wanting to penetrate her with a ring on my cock?” he muttered to himself as he reviewed notes from his patient’s previous surgery.
“Dr. Feelgood, your 12:30 pm is here,” Cathy called from his doorway.
“Ok, thanks, Cathy. Send them on in,” Myles said.
“Sure thing, Doctor,” Cathy replied grinning at him.
Myles had noticed how Cathy looked at him since he’d returned from vacation. Grandpa Feelgood had insisted that his assistant might have a crush on him. He’d have to keep an eye on her to make sure no lines were crossed. He liked her, but he wasn’t interested in any romantic involvement with her, he only had eyes for a certain spitfire he’d affectionately named, Honey Bee. No other woman would do at this point. He wondered just what his Honey Bee was up to right this minute as stood up to greet the man entering his office.
At that moment, Kayla had just picked up her office phone. Her assistant informed her of a conference call holding but didn’t provide any other details. Using her professional voice, she stated, “Hello, this is Ms. Banks. How can K.M.B. assist you today?”
“Kayla, cut the damn professional tone, it’s us,” Rachel yelled through the phone.
“What the HELL is going on that we’re on a conference call again? We just talked last month and set up our next vacation,” Kayla said annoyed by Rachel’s tone. Then she heard sniffling. “Who’s crying, what’s going on, did somebody die?” she fired off in rapid succession.
“Slow down Kayla, one question at a time,” Jocelyn stated “First off, Caressa is crying. Second, a lot is going on. And third, no nobody died. Caressa, you want to tell her what’s going on?”
Next, she heard more sniffling. “Kayla, I think we’re gonna have to reconsider our plans for next year,” Caressa admitted sadly.
“Uh, ok that’s not a problem. But Sis, what’s going on? I need more info than that. You’re starting to scare me,” Kayla said with concern.
More sniffling.
“Ok, obviously Caressa is too damn emotional to say it, so I will do it for her,” Reia came on now. “Kayla, Caressa is pregnant. We’re gonna be aunties again!”
“Pregnant, what the hell? Caressa, stop crying and tell me how you got knocked up,” Kayla said.
“I blame you and Rachel for this damn baby,” Caressa whined through her tears.
“WHAT?” Rachel and Kayla exclaimed at the same time.
“Yep, it’s both of your faults, and I want child support and babysitting commitments from both of you,” Caressa demanded.
“Let’s get back on track here, I’ve got to get back to work,” Jocelyn stated.
“Ok, picture this,” Caressa started, “It was the afternoon after we returned from the cruise. I had the day off work and little did I know, but Brian had also taken the day off work. He surprised me by bringing me lunch from Bubba Gumps. Y’all know how much I love fresh seafood. Well, so does Brian and he missed me so much that after eating his strawberry shortcake off me, he proceeded to remind me of what absence does to a starved man. That damn man knocked me up that day when he forgot the condom in his haste to reacquaint us. The doctor confirmed this afternoon that I’m eight weeks. There you have it, baby before ring. This is so not how I expected it to go!” Caressa cried harder.
“Damn it, Caressa, will you stop all the tears and the Ms. Sophia impersonation,” Kayla chided. “Brian is going to marry you. He loves you, and if you would see the blessing of this baby, you would know that this is anything but the defeated outcome you are acting like it is. Now I’ve got to get back to work, I have an actual conference call in the next fifteen minutes, and I need to prepare. Call me later Sisters.”
“I completely agree with Kayla even though she didn’t express it in the politest way,” Reia came on. “But we all know it’s because she’s missing you know who but won’t admit it.”
Ignoring Reia’s comment, Kayla promised to touch base that evening and hung up going back to her work day. But instead of getting back to work, Kayla sat staring out of the window replaying her time with Myles. She was missing him and his Feelgood magic. “I’ve got to track that man down, enough time has passed now.” But before she could harp on it too long, Rachel entered her office for their business conference call. They had a potential client to vet, and it required both of their input.
