Mexican influenced designs. Most of our buildings have an elegant Mexican influence and are eco-friendly. I think warm colors will be best. What do you think?” asks Paty.
“Si, amiga I think the same and I did some research on your buildings. I decided to use more Mexican-influenced designs for your office buildings. I know that you will like them,” said Jessy with felicidad.
“Okay. Just be your professional self. Jose Enrique will be impressed. You look great,” said Paty, attempting to calm her amiga down.
“Let’s finish our lunch so we can get to the conference room early. I want to get back before everybody returns from lunch,” said Paty. “Jose Enrique might ask you out to dinner, so you two can get to know each other better,” Paty adds, trying to forewarn Jessy.
“I think that will be a good idea. The grand day is in ten weeks, isn’t it?” asks Jessy, drinking some of her water.
“Si, but la familia is anxious to meet you y has been constantly questioning Jose Enrique. Mi papa questioned Jose Enrique last night about his novia. Mis padres requested to meet the novia that everybody is talking about. Jose Enrique promise to bring you over to introduce you soon,” said Paty looking at Jessy to see how she is assimilating this news.
“I hope you are okay with this. You will probably spend lots of time with Jose Enrique at the office with the interior designs of the building offices y as his novia,” Paty continues, wondering if it will be a huge problema with Jessy. Hmmm, I will think not.
Oh, great , thought Jessy. I don’t know if I can handle spending so much time with Jose Enrique. What if I fall deeper in love with him y end up getting hurt? Uh, hmm, I think it is a risk I will take a thousand times. This allows me the opportunity y the real possibility of him falling in love with me. It will be like dating. La familia will think it is much more serious, but it is only a little less than ten weeks for the official engagement to be announced at the twenty-fifth anniversary celebration. I have time to work on Jose Enrique. Nodding at Paty, Jessy stands walking towards their carros.
CHAPTER SEVEN
JOSE ENRIQUE SITS AT THE conference table waiting for his novia to show up. I just want to be here before they do so I can take a good look at her before they realize I’m here. I have a good feeling about this. I have been endeavoring to remember Paty’s amigas from high school. I don’t recall any of them coming over to la casa. Paty is right. I never paid attention to them. I was too busy studying, going to school, y assisting on mi free time at la familia’s company. I have faith in Paty. Paty says mi novia is hermosa, smart, y muy sexy.
Paty y Jessy are laughing as they enter the conference room. Jessy steps into the cuarto first. Oh dios mio, Jose Enrique is waiting. He looks hotter than ever before. Mi corazon will not stop pounding. Mi chest, it’s going to explode. I’m going to die. I’m going to stop breathing.
Take a deep breath, stay calm. I need to be professional, sophisticated, y sexy. Yeah, right! Geez! Smile and greet him. I need to put mi portfolio on the desk and be ready for his greetings , thought Jessy. Take control. Don’t tremble y definitely do not sweat. Okay, I can do this. Smile.
Jose Enrique observes his novia enter the cuarto first. Dios mio, Wow! Gracias dios mio. It’s the bella chica that I saw at the club on Friday. I do owe Paty big, big time. Smiling, Jose Enrique approaches his novia reaching out to enfold her in a tight hug.
“Hola, novia mia,” Jose Enrique said proceeding to give her a beso.
What is he doing? He is kissing me! Relax. Return his beso , thought Jessy.
Jose Enrique almost releases her when he feels her tremble y stiffens. He is about to step back and release her when he feels her relax. Dios mio, I have never felt so much attraction in a simple beso. Her lips are so soft y silky. She tastes like heaven. She’s
