“Playing Dirty” Part II

The next morning Sean heads into the office.

Greeting him at the front entrance is Tahj Stevens, the top Managing Director of the #1 Accounting Firm in the South.

“Mr. Sean Parker!”

“Just the man I wanted to see… How’s it going, son?”

“I’m good, Sir.” Sean says, a bit confused from the sudden encounter.

“Great, great… Say! I wanted to talk to you about this upcoming BlueRock contract. You know it’s a big deal for us and I just want to make sure we’re on the same page and you’re still up for the challenge?” Tahj reconfirms, while standing before Sean patting him on the shoulder.

“Challenge??” Sean scoffs.

“You know me, Sir. I’m always prepared!

“Alright! That’s what I love to hear. You’re the real MVP!” Tahj says excitedly, as he walks back to his office.

Feeling under pressure, Sean takes a deep breath and walks to his desk. He sits down in his chair, laying his bag on the floor and pulls out his laptop.

As he pulls out his laptop, he notices his flash drive is missing…

“Shit!” he exclaims

Panicking he begins to search his pockets then emptying out his bag in search of the drive.

“Not today Sean, not today!” he mutters to himself.

Trying to remember the last place he could’ve put the flash drive, he grabs his cellphone and calls Aaliyah. Thinking he may have left it at her apartment the other day…

“Come on, come on… Pick up the phone girl.” Sean pleads, pacing back and forth.

Voicemail: “Heyy! Can’t come to the phone right now. But if you leave a message after the beep; I’ll get back to you.”

“Aye Aaliyah, it’s Sean... Umm, I think I may have left my flash drive at your place. Text or call me when you get this message. Please!”

Anxious and feeling flustered, Sean sits back down in his chair burying his head into his hands.

“What is going on!?” he says in frustration.

As he lifts his head up, he sees Aaliyah walking into the office. He gets up and swiftly walks over to meet her as she’s walking down the hall…

“Aaliyah!” Sean blurts out, as he mistakenly bumps into her from behind.

Aaliyah almost spilling her cup of coffee on her blouse, stops and turns around in a state of exasperation…

“Damn, Sean! You think you could be a bit more careful and watch where you’re going!?”

“My bad, look I tried calling you. Did you get my voicemail?” Sean says.

“No, I’m just getting here and I haven’t been able to check my phone.”

“What’s going on?” Aaliyah asks, looking concerned yet puzzled.

Sean trying to compose himself, begins to explain to Aaliyah that his flash drive is missing. In the midst of their conversation, Tahj walks out of his office seeing Aaliyah and Sean down the hall…

“Hey Aaliyah, how are you this morning? Tahj asks, as he walks up to the scene between her and Sean.

“I’m doing well, Tahj! Thanks for asking.” Aaliyah cheerfully responds.

“Great, I see you and Mr. Parker are having a little chit chat. I was just telling Sean how we’re looking forward to him taking on the challenge of closing our BlueRock deal!”

Aaliyah looking confused, stares at Sean then turns to Tahj in response…

“Oh Tahj, umm it was to my understanding that I would be working on the BlueRock deal…”

“Yes, that was the plan. However, once Mr. Parker here, pitched his proposal to me on how we can make good on this contract… I just knew he would be the man of the hour to get the job done.” Tahj says proudly.

Looking caught off guard and feeling utterly betrayed, Aaliyah slightly smiles at Tahj and then looks at Sean…

“Understood.” Aaliyah says.

“At the end of the day it’s about getting the work done, right…”

“Exactly! That’s the attitude to have. Besides, there are plenty future opportunities for you to take the lead on and close. Trust me!” Tahj says encouragingly.

“Of course. Thank you, Tahj.” Aaliyah hesitantly responds.

To be continued…

Playing Dirty by Lauren Hawkeye

 5 stars

Meg gets an HEA? You know that was going to be a draw in. The fact that she finds a filthy, dirty talking, take charge, man in Ford to give her that? All the better! This book sat on my TBR for way too long, and I finally got to it, and great goddess, it was worth the wait. These two connect immediately, sizzle in fact, and act on it. Life isn’t where it needs to be, so it is 5 years later when they reconnect. Both have been through some stuff during that time, but the electric arc between them, still there and just as strong. They let the emotions in, and some deeper learning about each other is needed, but they finally get to there and enjoy their lives. And to think it all started with a poorly maintained Porsche <3

Doey you can do no wrong

Dropout is great because while on a traditional network nowadays you would have one knockout concept and be done with it never revisiting it again dropouts like “okay we love doing that now let’s do it AGAIN and AGAIN and make it BETTER and more COOL and more ENJOYABLE and let’s keep doing it until our hearts tell us to stop and we love doing it so that might be never so long as we’re passionate about it” and that’s so fucking cool, in an era of commodified creativity the enthusiastic passion for the arts that drives dropout is not only refreshing but heartwarming and cathartic as a fellow creative who would love to have the chance to do what I love to do like that.

wrestling to be the first to greet you (they broke into your house)

the witcher 4 discourse is extremely funny in all its uselessness to me tbh because "They made witcher woke wah wah" bitch have you forgotten about openly bisexual ciri? openly lesbian philippa eilhart? the gay woodsman in white orchard? the drag queen in novigrad? the heavily insinuated pansexual dandelion? geralt standing up for minorities time and again? his seething hatred for the priests of the eternal fire? geralt himself saying again and again that he is different too and that he understands the struggle? the people literally calling him slurs in the streets?? and I could go on

I want dirty dungeons and dragons.

I want real seduction instead of rolls. Clothing removal as penalty for failed checks. Cockwarming in exchange for better loot. Vibrators controlled by the DM. A whole room full of horny players squirming in their seats trying to remember simple addition.

I want ‘The BBEG is casting a charm spell- stare into this spiral and edge yourself for the rest of combat.’

And

‘You failed your wisdom save and are now the Naga’s slave- now take off your panties and sit on the battle board, she wants to make use of her new toy’

once you and katsuki discover you're expecting, you agree to keep it to yourselves for a little while.

you can't hide forever, but you want the chance to bask in the excitement of what's to come, together, away from outside eyes prying in. and you do: there's an immediate difference in the way you touch each other, how often, with katsuki even shifting coverage for patrol just so he can cling to your side for an extra day or two. it's like a honeymoon, almost, and you take the time to enjoy it like one.

but of course he wants to tell his parents as soon as he can, though he doesn't outright admit it; as soon as you start pushing the boundary of your waistband, he finds time in his schedule to see his dad—and then mitsuki makes time for him to see her.

katsuki tells toshinori next, who becomes quite emotional at the sight of your ultrasound, which in turn makes katsuki surprisingly emotional, too. there's much that they say and even more that they don't, but it's all communicated, regardless.

and lastly—he has to tell his nerd-ass friends.

it happens on one of their bi-monthly outings—that katsuki has consecutively been skipping for a little while, for obvious reasons. and it's like the minute he sits down in his seat and orders his food and one beer, everything he'd planned to say dissolves in his head.

despite wanting to keep quiet, he's been trying to plot out his announcement to these exact shit heads since the moment you found out. it's just so personal, and even after everything, katsuki's still discovering how to share those parts of his life with others, still coming to terms with the fact that he wants to.

he'd considered doing it slowly, rather than all at once in front of all of them, but he very quickly realized how terrible of a plan that was; deku would not physically be able to contain such knowledge in his body for any period of time, kirishima is a notorious fucking gossip, and if shouto had given him some kind of shit ass, wrinkled-nose look, he would have had to howitzer him through a building.

so he just says it, because he's never really been one for subtlety.

right after everyone's received their food and started to take their first bites, denki makes a point to ask,

"how's things with your honeybun, kacchan?"

and normally he'd have a fit at the nickname, but instead he hears bun and feels his stomach flip like it does when he remembers, when silly little things remind him of what the two of you have made together, and into his food, he simply says,

"we're havin' a baby."

the expected silence falls over all of them, save for the scaping of utensils against katsuki's bowl. he's damn good at feigning nonchalance, but food is getting stuck in his throat and his heart is beating so hard that he can hear it deep in his eardrums. of course he knows, but it dawns on him again, how overrun he is with excitement.

across the table, denki takes his turn to speak again. "you're...what?"

and then the whole room is erupting into a mass of chaos, moving in pieces like a riot of unrefined children, and even though he's being hounded with a million questions and being shaken around by his shoulders and some of these assholes are crying—katsuki graces them all with a big, fat grin.

There a ghost in the Watchtower vent!

Batman could only sighed in defeat as the Justice league were searching in the vents again, after Superman heard a odd small screeching sound of an animal coming from it this morning.

Which lead to the Justice league searching around the vents to find the source of the sound. He internally blamed Damian for this after he snuck a odd animal in the batcave, and is still looking for that animal whom may have snuck itself into the watchtower teleportor and got beamed there.

So far they been searching for 8 hours straight with no luck whatsoever. Batman could only sighed and calls comms to get Damian to get his newest attempt of pet adoption.

Which only took 7 minutes as Damian in his robin suit just put down one of alfred's special cookies in front of the vent entrance as the Justice league watch along side as a small odd cat lik-, oh that a tiny alien feral child nawing on the cookie.

He looked 4 year old at most, glowing lararus green eyes feral and dilated with long elvish ears, sharp tiny fangs, white but dirty dust covered hair that look like a rats nest, wearing a toddler sized suit that look otherworldly yet similar to a hazmut suit if it weren't so skin tight looking. He was wearing a glowing green skull on his smol middle finger and a floating crown that remind superman of the fairy odd parents except this was black with blue aurora light fire.

"You are so losing chew toy privileges, danny." Damian huffed as he just pick danny up by his armpits and just begans walked away through the hallway door.

The justice league could only look a bit gaped.

"Where did Robin found that?"
