The Business Trip

WACK! OOOHHH! Jake is sent staggering backwards by the blow dished out by the
gorgeous young woman in front of him, he falls into his chair. "Now you're
going to tell Mrs Brown what a wonderful job I'm doing here and how I should
get a pay rise!" With that Abbey left the office, Jake checked his jaw 'God it
hurt' the tall brunette knew how to hurt him when she needed to.

He sat in his office going through how he got himself into this mess, his life
at home was still rocky, to say the least, and his two recent encounters with
particularly attractive, busty and young, woman had left there mark on him, in
more than one way. Abbey had been his last encounter which hadn't gone well,
for him! Now she was working as a secretary in the firm where he worked, which
wasn't the best possible situation for him! (Reader may wish to read the
previous story - A 'da jar vu' encounter)

The 28 year old solicitor was still going through how bad his life was when
Mrs Brown entered his office, she was the 'office manager' in charge of all
the secretaries in, what she liked to call, the 'typing pool.' She had been
with the firm for 30 years and ruled the junior and some of the senior members
of the firm with a rod of iron! Commonly know as the 'The old Dragon' but no
one was brave enough to say that to her face.

"Mrs Brown what a pleasure to see you" she just looked straight into him,
scary feeling, and held out a file, he took it. "This is the Thompson file?"
"Yes Mr Sinclair can't make the meeting tomorrow so as you're familiar with
the case you'll have to travel up north this afternoon and be ready for the
meeting tomorrow. The hotel is booked all the instructions are in the files.
"Will it just be me going?" "Yes there's too much going on here to let anyone
else out of the office" 'YES!' For one minute he though she would send Abbey
with him, a chance to get away from the wife and the bully of a secretary,
life was starting to look good.

"Oh by the way that Abbey is doing a great job here ... " Mrs Brown gave him
one of her cold stares "I'm sure she is ... ... How's that jaw of yours Mr
Perry? You seam to have a red mark there, as if you've hit it!" He was sure
she knew about him and Abbey and their previous 'encounter' as she left "sent
my regards to that wonderful wife of your" another 'dig' at his 'crap life.'

Shortly after that Jake found himself on the motorway driving north, some
hours later, and a few stops off to grab a coffee and a stare at the
attractive young women in the service stations he found himself pulling up
outside of the hotel. He parked in the underground car park, grabbed his
overnight bag and briefcase, booked in and headed off to his room. "Thank you"
He squeezed through the doors of the lift, that where held open for him. Doors
closed and they headed up; in the lift are a middle aged couple and a young
woman, they're talking so Jake assumes it's a family group. Then he recognises
the man, Thompson! Edward Thompson, one of the Thompson brothers who he'll be
dealing with tomorrow.

He normally lives abroad and must have flown in for the meeting, that's why
he's in the hotel, and knowing Mrs Brown she would have had inside information
that he was going to be staying here ... But surly she would have told Jake!
Nothing special about Mr Thompson, Mrs Thompson how ever looks quiet
attractive and that must be the daughter, similar looks to her mother, similar
attractive looks. The daughter has defiantly caught his eye, she's young,
pretty and by what he can see has a great body. The lift came to a halt, 5th
floor, the Thompson family leave, and its Jakes floor too, he waits then
follows.

Mr Thompson leaves first, muttering to himself about the meeting, then the
attractive Mrs Thompson, a faint fragrant aroma, very nice, last the young
petite Thompson girl, she looks at him as she leaves, short blond hair
surrounds a pretty face, a innocent face, but those deep blue eyes and bright
red lips give her a wicked edge. Her perfume was less subtle, it filled his
nostrils, he likes it, he likes her. She winked! He was sure she winked at him
... She did wink at him?

He stood in the corridor watching the family walk towards their rooms, mother
and daughter looked good in their tight fitting trousers, but he was drawn to
the young girl, the one that had winked at him. Jake shook his head 'If only!'
he headed to his room in the opposite direct. After he has settled in he went
to the restaurant, he was seen to a table and sat down. He was happily
surprised to see the Thompson family a couple of tables away, and he had a
good view of the young woman. She looked great, her petite body but large
breast, her good looks and she had a certain 'air' about her that made him
just want to stare, but he knew he shouldn't. Her gorgeous eyes come to rest
on him and she smiled, was she smiling at him, had she winked at him in the
lift! If only!

The family finished their meal and left as they passed by his table, he felt a
body brush against him; it was her, had she done it deliberately? He watched
them leave, then just before she walked out of the restaurant she turned and
looked at him! And again she was smiling, thoughts rushed around his head; he
wanted her even more now. He finished his meal, still thinking about her. By
the time that Jake got back to his room all that he could think about was the
young woman, he goes for a shower, to try and cool down. He sorts himself out
for the rest of the evening, he knows he needs to concentrate and read up on
the details for tomorrow's meeting. 'SHIT!'

The laptop, he left his laptop in the car 'Shit!' He gets dressed to goes to
collect it. As he walks down the corridor there's someone waiting at the lift,
it's her, she steps in "Hold please" he calls. He gets there just as the doors
are closing, he can see her, in that split second he takes in that she's
dressed in some sort of sports outfit, she must be heading for the hotel gym,
she smiles at him. She winks at him again! The doors close 'SHIT!' She did
wink, that's twice now, it's more than just coincidence ... surly!

He takes the stairs, as he get into the reception he sees a figure of a woman
enter the gym, was it her? He walks over and looks though the glass door, the
glass is slightly misty so he can't make anything out clearly. 'Work!' He
needs to get the laptop and do some work, a frustrated Jake heads for his car.
He makes his way down the flight of stairs to the underground car park; he
reached the bottom and opens the door passing through it BANG!

The door slams shut behind him the parking bay is empty and dark only a few
lights are on, there's a strange 'eeriness' to the place, it gives him a
nervous filling 'stop being silly it's only a car park' he tells himself. Jake
heads off towards his car there's an unnerving silent about the place,
CRACKLE! Behind him the light starts to flicker it makes him jump 'bloody
stupid' he thought to himself 'it's only a faulty light.' He carries on BANG!
He turns he was sure he heard a noise, was it the door closing, did someone
come through it?

CRACKLE! Behind him another light started to flicker, he turns, there was a
figure! He was sure he saw a figure, "Hello?" CRACKLE! POP! The light goes out
'Calm down Jake' he tells himself, 'it's just a bloody faulty light!' WOOSSHH!
There out of the coroner of his eye something moved ... A person? "Hello ...
Hello ... Who's there?" WOOSSHH! Behind him the same noise he turns, was there
someone there? CRACKLE! POP! CRACKLE! POP! CRACKLE! POP! A bank of lights goes
out one by one "OK WHO'S THERE?" Now only two lights on in the car park, one
at each end, and a flickering one in the middle, where he is, WOOSSHH!
Something, someone past quickly in front of him, the lights so bad he can't
make out who it is.

"What the hell are you playing at?" Jake turns around in circles trying to
look into the darkness to find the mysterious figure that down there with him.
WACK! OOOFFFHHHH! He's struck by a fast and hard hitting blow to the body;
he's almost knocked over but just manages to stay on his feet. 'What the hell
was that?' WACK! Another hard blow connects with his body, he staggers further
back THUD! Onto one of the parked cars, then there in front of him a figure,
it's blurred due to the poor light, but ... It's a woman!

The outline of a woman stands in front of him, she small ... ... petite ...
... could it be? Jake's stunned but manages to push himself up off the car
"what ... who are you ... what's going on?" He doesn't get an answer just
another blow to his body from the woman's boot connecting to his chest. He
falls back onto the car, it hurt, suddenly fear and panic run riot through
him, the images of his last two encounters with women burst into his thought.
WACK! OOOHHHH! The woman smashes her clenched backhand fist across his face
'Oh God that hurt!' It sends his head into a full spin, the pain registers and
he fells a trickle of blood running down his jaw.

The woman grabs Jake by his shirt and in a show of shear strength she pulls
him up off the car and throws him down to the concrete floor. Before he can do
anything, even think WACK! The woman's boot has found its mark on the other
side of his jaw, Jake is sent sprawling, he cough's and splatters, a pool of
blood appears as the shocked man tries to make sense of his dilemma, well he
would do if the woman gave him time to think!

Jake's grabbed again but this time dragged up and onto his knees, his nostrils
take in a whiff of perfume, its familiar ... It's the same that he smelt in
the life! 'Is this woman be the young Thompson girl?' WACK! WACK! WACK! He
can't ask the question as her knee is driven hard into his upper body, hard
into his chest, she is not holding back and wants to hurt the man, she's doing
a good job of it so far. "Pl ... Please ... " This is only met by her holding
onto his head then CRACK! UUUUUHHHHH! She drives her thigh with such force
into the side of his head that Jake crashes back to the cold floor with a
THUD!

Jake has been easily taken down by the mystery woman; he can see her
silhouette as she walks around him, the wild animal circling its prey. The
woman grabs him by is shirt, pulls him up off the floor, a shadow falls across
her face so as to mask her identity, the only visible part is her imposing
blue eyes. They stare deep inside him, and then she winks at him! 'It has to
be her ... It has ... ' CRACK! Her knee comes up and meets his jaw, she lets
go and again Jake is back on that cold concrete floor.

Silence! Jake looks up 'where is she?' the only noise is the crackle of the
faulty light, has she gone? He tries to crawl away, through the flickering
light he can see the door that leads to the stairwell and safety, she not
around he can make it! Jake drags his battered body further along the ground;
he even manages half a smile knowing that he will reach the door. Then when he
thinks he's almost made it CRUNCH! AAARRRRHHHHH! A foot is driven hard into
his back, his assailant is back! "Thought you could get away?" She speaks for
the first time; her voice fills his head as the pain fills his body. He rolls
over in agony only to provide her with another target THUD! She again drives
her foot down, this time into his gut AAWWWHHHHHHH!

She leaves him as he rolls around holding his aching body, but she doesn't
leave him that long, the woman drags Jake back up, she is strong, she has no
problems in pulling up the larger male onto his feet. A flash of blond hair,
and deep red lips is all that this bedraggled man sees, she takes a step
backwards into the light, finally a chance to see her clearly, a slender but
firm body, in gym clothes appears he looks up at her face ... ...

WACK! A high kick that he didn't, couldn't, see connects hard with the side of
his head, the hapless man was sent spinning and flying backwards THUD! He
crashed into the car behind him, his battered body slowly slipped off the cars
bonnet, revealing a deep dent that someone's not going to like. Jake ends up
in a heap on the floor; he's no longer conscious, she's crushed him.

Later Jake comes around, he has no idea how long he's been there or what time
it is, 'Oh God his body hurts' he realised that he's on the floor in front of
his car! It's smashed but he doesn't care he's hurting too much. Somehow he
managed to get the energy to drag himself up and out of the car park back to
his room. 'Shit the meeting!' He would have to try and get a little rest and
hopefully he might be able to get through it! He hopes.

The next day he fought through the pain, got him self ready and headed off for
the meeting. Jake made it into the conference room just on time; his battered
body hurting with every movement, he introduced himself to his counterpart,
explain that he had an unfortunately fall on the stair! It explained away his
battered appearance, the other lawyer then introduced him to Edward Thompson
and also there 'OH SHIT!' His daughter "I'd like you to met my daughter Vicky,
she just going to take notes for me, she only young but needs to start taking
an interest in the company, you don't mind do you?" Jake swallows hard "Of ...
... Of course not" they sit round the table Vicky directly opposite Jake
"Right let's get started."

Through out the meeting Jake couldn't concentrate, his mind is more
concentrated on what happened the night before. A faint scent drifts his way;
it's the same perfume he smelt in the car park! A shiver creeps down his
spine; a bead of sweat slowly runs down his face. It has to be her, her
presents is enough to worry him, she keeps on smiling, looking directly at
him, her blue eyes staring deep inside him; she makes him feel nervous,
frightened. The meeting went badly for Jake, he was glad when it was all over,
he didn't think he had done enough to get the deal done, Edward Thompson said
they would be in contact with them, but didn't sound that enthusiastic. Just
as he was about to leave Vicky comes up to him, his heart jumps into his
mouth. He's worried, scared, almost paralysed with fear, she looks straight
into his eyes "I enjoyed it, maybe we'll bump into each other again!" that
voice! She winks at him! Then she leaves, his heart's pounding starts to slow
down as she walks away, the further away she is the safer he feels.

Jake headed back to his room, as he walks down the corridor he makes out a
figure standing by his room. 'Oh Shit' its Abbey the tall busty brunette
secretary, she dressed the same as when they first 'met!' Tight white
trousers, those sexy black stiletto boots, waist length jacket open to show
off her tight top and large breasts. She looks sexy but she makes him anxious
"Mrs Brown sent me down, she said you might need some assistance and was sure
you would be pleased to see me ... ... I see you're your car has a large dent
in the front." She forcefully grabs his jaw and inspects his face "And you
have a few dents ... you can tell me all about it later, shall we go in and
discuss how the meeting went ... ... "
