"Of course you can," Jensen replied, as he relaxed in his chair. "Forgive me, I'm just... Really tired"
"It's fine," Shay replied. "I have to admit, I honestly couldn't believe it when I heard you got married. I mean it's you. You who hated getting into serious relationships and avoided them like a plague."
Jensen sighed. "Well I guess things just change when you meet the right person, don't they?" he asked.
Shay rolled her eyes. "The right person," she repeated. "Well, It's such a shame that things didn't go that far between us, you know we were really perfect together, you and I. Don't you agree?"
"Did you come to talk about that, Shay?" Jensen asked, sounding uninterested, "Because I have a lot of work to do"
Shay frowned. "Is that your way of asking me out of your office, Jensen? Wow, that is so rude, you have never chased me out of a room before, if I remember correctly, you were always such in a hurry to get me into one"
Jensen decided to change the topic. "Have you and Drake made a decision about investing in the company?" he asked.
"Not exactly" Shay said, "You know how Drake is, he likes to take everything really seriously. Wants to make sure there isn't going to be any problem. I'm sure he will come around anyway, I will make sure of that so don't worry. Plus, we will get to work together again and I'm so looking forward to that ".
Jensen nodded." Thank you, Shay" he said.
"And you wife" Shay continued, not caring that Jensen wanted to go back to work. "Will she be okay with you working with me? I mean, I know she has never met me, but I was just wondering if she would be okay with our partnership, especially when she finds out we were, you know.... Lovers"
Shay's mouth formed into a small O when Jensen didn't reply.
"Wow" she said. "So I see you haven't even told her. That's a risky move, baby. Tell me, Jensen" she stood up from her chair and cat walked to Jensen, and then sat on his desk, exposing her smooth laps through the slit in her skirt, "Are you happily married?" she asked.
Jensen rested his head on his head rest and looked directly at her, his hands tapping on the hand rest of the chair. "Of course I am, why would you ask me that?" he asked.
"Urmmm" Shay began, trying to make her voice even more seductive. "because happily married men tell their wives before they get into business deals with their exes. I mean, I'm not married but even I know that. Wow, if I didn't know better, I would think you wanted me back in your life"
Jensen rose slowly from his chair and adjusted his shirt collar. "I am happily married, Shay" he said, placing emphasis on the married, "And as for my wife, I can talk to her. That shouldn't be your business at all. You just focus on Drake and get him to make a decision quickly. Now, I don't mean to rude, but I really do have a lot of work to get back to, so...if you don't mind"
"Oh I don't mind at all" Shay replied as she slid off his desk and placed a one hand with beautifully manicured nails on his chest. "I'm just trying to make small talk. Like I said before, I'm super excited to be working with you again. I will be going home now, see you tomorrow"
She leaned over and kissed his cheek before he realized what she was about to do. She smiled as he suddenly jerked away from her.
"Relax Jensen. You really need to relax" she said. "You are so uptight"
Then she walked out of his office, making sure she swayed her hips left and right.

Katherine looked at her wrist watch as she put little Deanie to bed after an hour of crying on Deanie's part. She missed her daddy and Katherine could do nothing but say "daddy is gonna be home soon, sweetie". But Deanie wasn't listening to that.
Katherine looked at her watch again. It was almost twelve and Jensen still wasn't home and the worst part of it was that neither was Tim. Tim's phone wasn't going through either and she had called everyone who she thought Tim would be with.
After she made sure that Deanie was finally asleep, she went back to the kitchen and after washing up the dinner things and putting the kitchen back in order she called Jensen. He picked up after the fourth ring.
"Hey sweetie" Jensen began before she could say anything. "I'm so sorry I'm late again. I know I promised I would come home early today but I had a lot of stuff to do at the office. But, I'm on my way home now, honey. I'm gonna be home in like two minutes"
