Back to work

Once James was off to school, Tom called Debbie’s phone to wish her good luck, but only got her voicemail, so he figured that she was already down in rehab.

He was doing a final check of the house when he realized that he never got the mail from the box. There was nothing important, so on to the kitchen table it went.

Out to his car and off to work he went, feeling apprehensive. He looked forward to work, but it had been over a week since he was there, and hoped that he could mentally focus on the job. The trip to the mine at the other end of the state needed to be rescheduled, and knowing Becky, he was sure there were papers and files all over the office.

Tom pulled into the parking lot, and after turning his car off, took a deep breath, and proceeded to enter the building. He saw a young Alpha girl that he did not recognize sitting at the desk in the lobby.

He started to walk down the hallway towards his office when the girl asked if she could help him. Tom turned around and introduced himself. The girl knew his name, as it was just under Becky’s on the Office Directory Board in front of her desk. She smiled, and asked him if he wanted a cup of coffee brought to his office.

Tom asked for two, one for him, and one for Becky. He gently explained how both were to be made, and thanked her, as he continued on to his office. He opened the door, and noticed that the room was empty. Becky was probably talking to Susan, he thought.

He made his way to his empty desk, and as he sat down, realized that he forgot his work computer. He cursed silently to himself, as now he would basically be useless.

But before he could feel sorry for himself, a familiar voice asked him what he was doing at work. He looked up and saw the towering, beautiful Becky just standing at the door. Her question was asked more in a curious manner, rather than of anger.

Tom explained that Debbie basically ordered him to come in, and to tell her the truth, he felt that she would be ok with her rehab, and he needed to get back to some normalcy in his life.

Becky came over and placed her large hand gently on his shoulder. She told him that she was happy and grateful that he was there. Just then, there was a knock on the door. The receptionist came in with the two cups of coffee, and Tom heard Becky say ‘Thank you, Lisa’.

Once Becky was seated, she asked Tom how James was doing. He told her that the young man was experiencing a severe case of young love, as he described the call and the subsequent ride back home.

Becky said that she remembered those feelings well, as she went through the exact same thing when she was a teenager. She also pointed out that Meg was an awesome, sweet girl who had a tremendous heart, and that she could see why James felt the way he did.

Tom agreed. It was just that he didn’t want to see either one of them hurt, and teenage emotions were not only very strong, but also unpredictable. But he couldn’t live James’ life for him. Whatever happened, he would have to experience it on his own.

Becky and Tom just spent the rest of the day talking about life, Debbie, James, and whatever was going on with her life. It felt good for both Tom and Becky, like life was normal again.
