Move Over For This Sistah

Book Cover & Preview Text
At the wrap party, everyone was pretty relaxed and we were all drinking champagne. Our department splurged for this, but we were sailing high with our two main accomplishments and good fortune. The two leaders of our company Ben Talisman, Chairman and Joseph Noel, President were in attendance. We all had a good time going over the shoot and the very funny out-takes.
Joi left the room saying, "I will be right back." I noticed she was gone for at least 10-15 minutes, so I went looking for her. She was in the ladies lounge and was a little tipsy. I asked her, "Are you feeling okay? I was worried that you had been gone for such a long time." She patted the settee she was sitting on or more closely described as lying on and motioned for me to join her. She was definitely blitzed and trying to get herself together. I started making small talk about the office and we both started laughing. She put her arm around my shoulder and said, "I am happy you came looking for me" and tried to kiss me. I was definitely thrown back and jumped from the settee. She asked, “What’s wrong. I know you care about me?” I said, “Yes, I do but not that way. I am not gay and I love men.” She said, “So do I, but I like a little spice in my life sometimes.” I told her that I know she is tipsy and I am going back to join the party and for her to get herself together and join us. I went back to the group. I had a nagging thought that something was up with that girl. She is cute, smart, and has everything going on, and she is also bi. Now won't that be interesting at the pool party on Saturday.
Everyone asked if Joi was okay and I told them she’s fine and just wanted to cool out for a minute, but will be joining us soon. Somebody started playing a game of charades, which we all got into and it was fun. In a few minutes Joi returned and said she was going home.
I went home after the wrap party, totally exhausted and a little stressed. I sure could use a massage. I slid into the Jacuzzi and relaxed in the water. My phone rang but I let the machine pick up. It was Joi. I can’t believe it! She should be trying to sleep her high off and not be bothering me. She apologized on my machine for her actions at the wrap party. I will call her tomorrow and tell her it’s cool. I just don’t go that way and I will see her at Zoe’s on Saturday.
