hidden is the basement door.  That is in the pantry.  The basement is a walk out to the pool and yard.”  We get out of the truck and Eric is greeted by one of the men.
    “Hey fucker!  About time your ugly face got here.”
    “At least I made it.”  He looks over at me then back.”  I have more important things I’d like to be doing right now.”  I blush and walk off to look around, but still in ear shot.
    “Damn, who is that fine piece of-“
    “Watch it Sam!”  Eric growls.
    “What?  I was going to say chocolate.”  Sam chuckles.  “Shit Eric, lighten up!  So who is she?”
    “Her name is Jasmine.”  Eric replies.
    “Shit not you too!”
    “What?”
    “First Brody and Annie, now you and Jasmine?”
    “Dude, what are you talking about.”
    “You, hooking up with your secretary.”
    “Who said we are hooking up?”
    “Eric I wasn’t born yesterday.  Brody has told me how much you have been hung up on her since she started working for you and then you two show up here with a just fucked look and your hair is messed up.  She’s blushing a beautiful pink there too.”  Eric looks back at me and smiles.  I smile too and walk over to them.
    “Hi, I’m jazzy.”  I reach out to shake hands.
    “Hi sweetie, I’m Sam.”  He reaches out and grasps my hand and kisses it.  He must have lingered to long for Eric cause he took my hand from Sam and is now holding it.
    “Back to work.  How is it coming along inside.”  Eric asks as we head in.  “Any hang ups?”
    “Nope.  It’s just about done on the first floor.”
    “So their room and upstairs spare room are getting done today and tomorrow?”
    “Yes.  It needs to be done for Wednesday, yes?  Annie’s furniture comes then?”
    “Yup, and Jazzy and I will be here to receive them so you guys can continue working.”
    “Whoa, Eric?  We already discussed this.  I’m staying at the office to work.  You were coming here yourself.”  I question him.
    “I changed my mind.  I would like you here too so the guys don’t have to stop working.  Then it will all be done for when the honeymooners come home.”  And he walks off with Sam to look at the progress, and I’m left standing there stun.  Then I go and wait outside for him.  I looked around to out back and the pool is also getting dug out today.  They have a lot of contractors here working.  It pays off to have your own construction business and know all of the right contractors to come in and get everything done quickly.  I’m checking emails on my phone when Annie calls.
    “Hey bestie!  How goes the honeymoon?”
    “A-fucking-mazing!  I love it here.  How is everything going with you?  Eric dead yet?”
    “Things are ok.  Why would Eric be dead?”
    “You haven’t strangled him or anything yet?”
    “No, it’s only Wednesday Annie.”  I giggle
    “Wow, how are you going to survive another  7 more work days?  At least you don’t see him after work or the weekend this week.  When we get back we are having a house warming pool party.  I can’t wait for you to see the new house!”  She squeals.
    “Actually I’m at it now, it’s gorgeous Annie.”
    “What?  How did you get there?”
    “Eric.  He wanted me to come up with him.”
    “Why would he want that?”  I can hear Brody in the background trying to coax her off the phone.  That man has the sex drive of a thirteen year old.  Then she gasps.  “Did he make a move finally?”
    “What!  No.”  I try to sound convincing, but I’m sure I wasn’t.  I’m not that good at lying when it comes to my friends.
    “Jazzy!  He did!  Tell me, how did he?  Was he an ass about it?”  I hear Brody say something about the tickets to her and that Eric asked him for advice on how to show he was interested.  “He bought you Philip Philips tickets?”
    “Yes, and tell Mr. Nosey pants that we want you guys to come too.”
    “Oh, hell yea we are!  Oh this is so exciting!  Double date
