Chapter 7

• That’s a big, bad. No! Yes! I dont know!
• “Hey pumpkin.” My dad says to me and I smile up at him. In the corner of my eye I see Michelle glance at me, like I’m competition. And it makes me want to laugh. She hasn’t had any encounters with both me and my dad so it’s not hard to think she doesn’t know I’m his daughter. And with his nickname pumpkin, which has stuck since one Halloween when I tried dying my hair and it turned pumpkin orange only probably makes her think wrong.
• “Hey dad.” I say and quickly her eyes grow wide.
• “Yo— Her— His—“ Michelle stutters for a moment before I interrupt her from rambling.
• “Michelle this is my dad Matt. I think you’ve met.” She sees I’m trying to help her out. I get her feeling's towards him. I don’t blame her. I have a huge crush on a man sitting only a few feet from me too. And only one year younger than my dad.
• “Ah, yes. Hi Matt. It’s nice to see you again.” She says. And my dad only gives her a bigger smile.
• “Hey man.” Logan’s deep voice flows over me and I try to ignore how I’d love to hear him saying my name between groans and moans.
• Stop—
• “Hey man. Can we talk real quick.”
• “Of course.” Logan says jestering to my dad to use his office. My dad gives me and Michelle a smile before he leaves and as soon as the door clicks closed the freaking out begins.
• “Oh my god— I didn’t— I wasn’t— oh god— he’s your— and I was— Holly— I didn’t—“
• “Michelle.” I say trying to ignore how her 'freaking out' makes me want to laugh. She stops herself and looks at me like I’m going to be angry.
• “You’re a very single beautiful woman. My dad a very single man. There’s nothing wrong with what you had in mind, and I have no want to stop you either.”
• Her eyes go wide.
• “If you’re interested. I won’t stop you. Judge you or say anything to anyone, it’s my secret as much as yours.” She blinks like what I’m saying is absolutely shocking and crazy. “Enjoy yourself.” I say before turning back to my computer.
• “You don’t care that I might date your dad? And that we’re almost the same age?”
• I shake my head 'no' before I glance up towards Logan’s office, who am I to judge her. I have a crush on a man only one year younger. There’s no difference in her situation and mine besides. Mine is best friends with my dad. And not interested in me. While hers. Will give her exactly what she wants. Though I can’t promise her it would be for more than one night. But who knows.
• “Thank you—“ she says as she throws her arms around my shoulder and hugs me tightly. I have to laugh at the small gesture which I find cute.
• “You’re welcome.” I laugh as she pulls back and basically dances her way back to her desk. Funny how there are younger guys that work here. More her age like mine. Yet the only two young woman on this floor are both interested in the two older bosses. Logan and Matt. How odd and funny at the same time.
• But at least Michelle will get a good time out of her crush. While mine is unrequited.
