Hey I'm just kidding, Liz, I like you and I don't care what others say about us. What, you don't like me? Vic asked calmly looking at her straight in the eyes. I like you but I want to keep this, us a secret and well, I just  want to figure it out as we go along the way. We need to be professional about this, Liz added strongly. Yes I know and I want it to be that way too. But if I ask you to be with me, will you come to me?, Vic asked sheepishly, now losing the Boss that she was before. Ye…yess, I will, you can count on me, anytime you need me, cause I feel the same way about you too, Liz said honestly. They were both professionals and they needed each other like they needed air on their lungs but it's just it and not love, maybe not.

You won't regret it, Liz, Vic said confidently. You'll love me like you never loved someone in your life and I will make you so happy you won't want me out of your sight, Vic said proudly and reassuring Liz of her intentions.

              Okay, deal. But just as f*ck buddies and that's all, Liz said casually. Ahuh, so that's what you call it now huh! I just had one night stands, so I never had a f….buddy before, haha! So did you have a f…buddy and or one night stands? Liz asked sincerely.  No I haven't, I choose my relationships well and never had those, but it's my first time to have a f… buddy and it's exciting because it's you.

Haha, then it's a compliment and I'm happy I'm making you happy and all fired up on this crazy venture, Alright , deal!, Vic said now laughing at their agreement as FB. Hehe!

Where are you going now? Vic asked since Liz is leaving from the office soon. You're not my girlfriend to concern you of my personal stuff, but I'll be meeting my bet friend Georgie, want to meet her? Liz asked Vic and she agreed after signing some papers and meet her downstairs. Vic obliged to use her own car, a top down Lexus, but I kind of liked her sports car instead of this baby.  Okay, here we go, where will we meet your friend?, Vic asked  and I told her the coordinates and left on jiffy. The car was raving it up and I felt like I'm flying out of my core with its super speed. We stopped by at a  café and we waited for my friend seated outside on one of their benches.

              Hi oh, Liz you have a friend or….someone special maybe with you?, Georgie asked who turned out to be gay and a hottie without noticing his deep voice. Hi, oh, my God, Georgie, mwah, I missed you, Liz said kissing G. on both cheeks. Yeah girl, I missed you too!, And who's this gorgeous lady with you?, he added looking at Vic from head to foot with a tease.

I am Victory Winer, Liz works for me, I just wanted to meet you since she said you're her best friend in the world, Vic replied courteously. Oh a friend or boss at the workplace or on the bed? Hehe!, G. added smiling devilishly. Oh, haha, I'm her boos alright, Vic added with a blush. Okay, G. let's order now , what do you like? Liz said stopping G. in talking none sense. Oh, I like to order HER, G. said pointing at Vic who's now scared but still smiling  at both of them not knowing how to react to it. HA, HA!, yes, in your dreams, Liz said pulling G. and pinching the silly gay on his sides who got hurt a bit.

Stop it G., she's my boss and I want you to behave in front of her, Liz said seriously. Aha, so she's ery important to, you huh, oh.no, you hit it on with her, I knew it, it's that look on your face!, G said now understanding what the real deal between the two. What face?, Liz asked now worried. That satisfaction after the sex and all, FACE, G. added making it pretty obvious that Vic is the girl Liz has been talking about after all before that's making her crazy and she wanting to make out with. Oh. My God, G. okay, we did but that's just because I help her out, her body was in pain from sexing a hottie, her old girlfriend.

And you took advantage of her, the poor thing, I really want to get to know her then, maybe she's that good huh!, Haha, my sweet Liz is a fully grown woman now, I'm so proud of you, but I pity her, hehe!, G said laughing at Liz and now it's Liz's turn to slap her arm and moved her tongue out in reply.

Hi, so when are you going to court my girl Liz here?, G. asked casually while Liz bumped him on the side to make him stop with the direct hits. Oh, well we're on the stage of getting to know each other, Vic said smiling back at G. Oh, hmm, and having sex at your office, G. said in almost a whisper at Liz's ear. Oh what is that again? Vic asked innocently. Oh, I Just told Liz how wonderful you are and she's so lucky to have you, that's all, G. added and asked to be excused. I need to go to a date too, my boy is waiting for me in that car over there, a twenty year old boy or more is waving at them from the other side of the street. Okay, it was nice meeting you Geor….Vic said extending her hand to shake Gs. Oh just G. call me G.

Okay, bye girl and take care, I'll see you soon then, Liz added kissing G. on the cheek. Yes I'll be seeing you two together soon. I want to talk to you more Victory, Bye, mwah!, G said running off to the boy on the car. Oh, just Vic, call me Vic!

            Vic and Liz rode the afternoon together. Vic asked Liz to join her on a private meeting with a client for the company's deal on high grade computers. The budget is ready for the taking and Liz got to handle the papers, the amount and see it fit for our agents on the floor, especially when we hired a hundred new virgins for the online app account we recently acquired since it's in demand because of the pandemic over five years ago. Liz was a pro and she knew where to make ends meet. W finished off with the deal and signed a great one with half of my money intact. She knew how much we needed to get the deal and the contractor agreed to it without me paying so much for the new computers. It is said to be automated and can handle PWD's or Person with Disabilities such as deaf, mute and blind clients.  Fabulous!, I think we need to  have a drink on this and celebrate, Vic said happily but Liz asked for a rain check since she needed to go somewhere. Oh can I drive there? I am free for the day since I just needed to finish this deal, Vic added concerned. Thanks Vic, but ….Liz hesitated for a bit and was walking to hail a taxi. Com one, Liz a ride won't hurt you, I'll behave I promise, Vic persisted.  Okay, I will visit my mom in a home. I do it regularly now since she's very sick, Liz said sadly. We drove along Beverly Hills and stopped on a hospital for cancer patients. Liz's mom is a cancer survivor four years ago but the tumour on her colon came back and there's no stopping to it now that it spread all over her body. She's on stage four and Liz is so caught up into the feeling of losing the poor lady and she can't accept it, not now that she's succeeding with her life.

            We sat on the waiting area so the nurse can set up a visit request for Liz. She called earlier but since the hospital is full we weren't advise to  come because there are still patients who have Covid. But we now have vaccines and a modern tool like when it's injected you no longer need a vaccine for another five years of your life. So we were checked and are cleared to stay at her mom's side for an hour. Liz stayed calm and didn't cry at all. She talked with her mom who is groggy with the drugs injected on her to stop the pains all over her body. But as if her mom cried a tear on her eye when Liz said she loves her. It stabbed my heart so much that I almost cried and wanted to hug Liz to comfort her.
