“I’m sure she will drive you back home after dinner,” Della said, making it sound like a punishment for whatever reason.

Little did she know I’d totally give Riggs a well needed and deserved blowjob.

“I will,” I said, grinning at Riggs while he shook his head with a smirk on his face.

“How’s life now that you don’t work anymore?” Della asked.

“Great. I’m thinking about working on a few things around the house to keep me busy.”

“If you ever need help with gardening, I’m really good at it.”

“I know. I’ll definitely come back to you about it sooner or later.”

That is, if by then this thing between us hasn’t come out yet. Della would be the first to disapprove of me being in a relationship with a much older man.

But Dad I wasn’t so sure about.

Not after the way he took the fact that I was sexually active and had sex toys lying around in my bedroom.

They were still good friends, and maybe that would help make the relationship between Riggs and I okay.

For now, him and I still had to make it official.

The front door opened and Dad walked in, looking tired and stressed.

I ran to him to hug him, kissing his cheek and hopefully making him feel better. “Hi, Dad. How was your day?”

He patted my back before I leaned back to look at him. “Hello, sweetheart. It was a long day but I made it out alive,” he joked.

“Riggs is here,” I announced, and together we walked into the kitchen so he could greet his wife and friend.

“Good to see you again, Riggs. You doing okay?”

“Yeah, hard day?”

“As always. I’m starting to take into consideration what Della suggested,” Dad said, chuckling at the idea of finally retiring.

“Think that wouldn’t be such a bad idea,” Riggs said.

“Can’t stop right now. Important things are happening. Had to fire two employees and am now searching for a new one,” Dad sighed, turning to look at me again. “You’re not interested in working at the firm for a few hours after school, are you?”

“Uh…” I actually thought about it, but I knew that wasn’t anything I’d enjoy. “I don’t think so. I’m busy with school, and I don’t wanna fall behind.”

“Oh, you’re a smart girl, Valley. I’m sure it won’t be so bad taking up a small job like that to help your father. Maybe you’ll take over the firm one day.”

“No,” I answered, frowning at her.

“Why not?” she challenged, and I was starting to think she was trying to mess with me on purpose.

“Because I’m not studying biology in college for nothing.”

“And where will that get you?”

Jesus Christ…

“There are many things she can do after graduating with a biology major. I’m sure she’ll find the right thing,” Riggs said, defending me from her.

“Whatever,” she mumbled, turning back to the stove and making me roll my eyes.
