asks, with a proud smirk on his face.
I giggle, “What’s not to like?” I blow him a kiss, as he fixes my headphones back to how they were before.
He’s tapping his fingers, listening to his music, while reading some material for work. I laugh to myself, thinking that he’s working, and I’m reading crotch novels. He holds my hand, rubbing it softly and I can’t wait to land, and land smack dab into bed with him.
Once we land in Houston, we quickly depart the plane, grab our bags and head to the rental car area. Lainey said she would pick us up, but Ash had insisted we needed a car to get around, and didn’t want to be dependent on Lainey for transportation. I call her, as we are leaving the car rental place, and I smile when I hear her excited voice.
“Mom I can’t wait to see you! We’ve got three places to look at today, and I hope one of them fits what y’all are looking for. If not, we’ll just keep looking until we do. Just hurry up and get here. I’m dying to see you.”
We hit a patch of traffic on the freeway and come to a complete stop. Ash chuckles, as he notices my leg shaking, and observes me nervously tapping on the arm rest. “Sunshine, tapping your nails and shaking your leg, isn’t gonna make the traffic move any faster. Just relax.”
I roll my eyes at him and mutter, “Damn Houston traffic.”
Soon enough, we pull up at Lainey’s office building and park in the garage. Ash leads us into the crowded elevator, and has his hand at the small of my back, rubbing it softly.
“You excited?”
“Oh I’m so excited. I can’t wait to see Lainey!” I put my arm through his and lean my head on his shoulder, whispering softly, “I hope we find the perfect place today. I want you to be happy with what we find.”
He nudges my chin and whispers in my ear, “Honey, if you’re happy, then I’m happy. Whatever you want, no matter the cost, we’ll do it.” It’s the end of lunch hour, and I’m getting annoyed with the elevator stopping on every floor. The ding of the elevator startles me, as the doors open on the 25th floor. I see the LPCI logo etched into sleek glass doors.
“Very impressive!” Ash remarks, as we enter the lobby. Contemporary and elegant dark wood furniture is strategically placed throughout the waiting area. The large custom reception desk is the same dark wood, with brushed stainless steel accents. The walls are a dark gray, with the same color carpet. Contemporary dimly lit sconces flank the walls, and there is alluring recessed lighting. I observe a long wall bearing numerous architectural renderings of all the LPCI projects, and I’m in awe. I’m so proud of Lainey. She’s accomplished so much in the little time she’s been in business. Ash is astonished, “Wow. Your little girl is one talented little lady.”
The receptionist walks into the lobby to greet us. She’s a tall slender young lady with jet black hair, that’s sleekly pulled back into a ponytail. She extends her hand and smiles. “Hello! You must be Ms. Petersen and Mr. Harper. Welcome to LPCI. I’m Hailey.” We each shake her hand, and she motions us to the chairs. “If you’d like to take a seat, I’ll let Lainey know you’re here. Can I get you something to drink? A coffee, water, or soda?”
I smile and speak for us both, “Oh no thanks, Hailey. We’re fine.”
We sit in the beautiful lobby and wait for Lainey to come out, as Hailey comes over to us. She holds up a finger, “She’s on the phone, and asked me to tell you she’ll be right out.”
In just a few minutes, I see my gal, with her bulging baby bump, smiling from ear to ear, as she comes out to greet us.
She covers her mouth with her hands, then claps, “Mom. Ash. You’re finally here!” She gives us both hugs and kisses.
“Let me give you a tour. We’ve expanded since you were last here Mom. Follow me.”
She proudly leads us into what she says is now 9,000 square feet of offices, and I’m floored. She
