I will post updates as often as I can; I'm back to work this week, so updates will be slower.
Laura rushed down the hall toward class. Damn she was late. She shouldn't have stayed up so late. She pushed through the doors to Professor Killian's Science class. She eased her way down to a seat beside Jason. Jason looked at her and grinned. "Nice of you to join us Ms. Sanders." Professor Killian said. "Sorry Professor" Laura mumbled. Laura sat there and concentrated on the lecture or tried too. But all she could think about was that Mark would be home soon. Finally the class was over and they left. "Tell Steve I'm going to drop that program by to him this afternoon, it's finished." Laura said. Laura did most of her work at home now and just took the stuff by to Steve, since she was in school full time it worked best for her. "Okay." Jason said. They split up since they had different classes next. "Ill see ya." Jason said. "Okay." Laura said. Now if she could just get Mark off her mind. Laura headed for her next class.
Laura got out of the jeep and headed for the door to Unitech. She had worked for Steve for a while now and she loved it. She went and seen Steve on the phone. Steve was middle age version of Jason. Same blonde hair and bright blue eyes. He waved her over. She sat down and waited for him to get off the phone. He got off the phone. "Hey Laura, what ya got for me?" he asked. She handed the discs over too him. "Great." He said. "Listen Laura, you been with me a while now. You do great work. You have really help put this company on the map. To be honest you could start your own company and probably put me out of business." He said. Laura grinned. "Well thanks Steve." She said. "I got an offer to make you, same one I made to Jason. I want to make you two full partners. We can really take this company places. You would basically be doing what you're doing now, cranking out new programs, but you would have a vested interest." He said. Laura was in shock, this is too good to be true. Steve smiled. "I'm really very serious Laura." He said. "Steve this is great. I would be thrilled to take you up on your offer." She said. "I have a contract drawn up, you take it to a lawyer and have him look it over and get back to me." He said handing her a large envelope. She shook Steve's hand. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. "Okay." He said. "Bye." she called as she headed out the door.
Laura was still in shock. Things were working out great. She couldn't believe the changes in her life in less than a year. She pulled into the driveway and stepped out the jeep. Jason was standing there waiting for her. She ran over and hugged him. Jason laughed. "So I take it your going to accept his offer." Jason said. "You bet your ass I am." Laura said. "It's going to be great, being part owners. Were on our way." Jason said. "I got a date tonight, How about we celebrate tomorrow?" Jason said. Laura laughed. "You and your dates." She said. "Hey I got to keep all the women happy." He said. "Uh yea, Okay." She said laughing hard. "Hey you're hurting my ego." Jason said smiling. "Sorry Casanova." Laura said. Jason just grinned. "See ya." He said "buy." She said. Laura walked in the house. It was going to be a lonely week she thought. Thanksgiving was Thursday. Jason and his uncle was going out of town. They had asked her if she wanted to come, but she was hoping Mark would come home. She was out of school for the rest of the week so she was going to be at lose ends for the rest of the week. Laura sighed and went to take a shower. It was going to be a long week.
"Come on Glen. It will do you good to get away." Mark said. "I don't know, what if your girl gets pissed, she might not want me around." Glen said. "I already talked to her. I didn't tell her I was leaving today. I want to surprise her. But she was cool with it." Mark said. Glen thought it didn't sound like a bad idea. He didn't have anyone to spend the holiday with. "You sure it's a good idea to surprise her like that, you might get the surprise." Glen said. "Don't Start Glen, I told you Laura aint Like that." Mark said. "Okay don't get your shorts in a knot. Ill go it might be fun." Glen said. "Good, cause I already made us reservation to leave in an hour." Mark said. Glen just laughed. "Your something else buddy." He said. "Yea, a lot of people tell me that, lets blow this joint, come on. I'm in a hurry to get home." Mark said.
