Happy Valley –Part 2-Colby and Pete
‘So I said then you be the manager and she was! Now wasn’t that smart Pete?’ asks Colby getting ready for bed in their condo!
“Yes uh huh real smart Colby! ’says Pete distracted looking at their bank account
‘You’re not even listening to me!’ says Colby her hands on her hips!
‘I’m sorry Colby I was looking at our declining bank account!’ says Pete
“Well don’t worry about that my quarterly payment on my trust fund is coming up! And you get paid soon!’ says Colby flippantly oblivious to Pete’s worry
“Colby were going to have to cost costs I’m not going to live on your trust fund!’ says Pete
“Live on my trust fund what’s going on Pete you’re not making sense did you lose Cortlandt Electronics? Did you make it go bankrupt?’
“No but you know what, Ross came and took my job today!’ says Pete upset ”You are looking at an unemployed man!’
“How is that possible your father left Cortlandt to you didn’t he?’ says Colby puzzled
“Yes I thought that too but it seems I was mistaken!’ says Pete hurt and dejected
“What a nerve! Are you telling me that your Dad just gave Cortlandt to you until Ross could show up?’ asks Colby angry on Pete’s behalf
“Yes he just comes waltzing in like he owned the place!’ says Pete angrily
“Really he has nerve .He could call? He couldn’t write? He misses his father’s funeral and just comes in to your office and take over! I’m going to go tell your stupid brother off who does he think he is?’retorts Colby looking like she’s spitting nails and going for the door
“Stop Colby it really is no use my dad left the company to Ross!’says Pete
“And he just fired you what a big jerk! Does he realize you kept Cortlandt a float ?’ asks Colby
“I quit I don’t want to work for Ross! I put my blood sweat and tears into that company and I will not be his subservient!’ says Pete
“Oh Pete I’m so sorry going on about my problems when you had this happen!’ says Colby “you know you could always ask Daddy for a job!’
“Never! I’d take a job at a fast food place first! ‘says Pete
“’Yes I guess you’re right Daddy wouldn’t hesitate to throw that in your face would he? says Colby
“I’ll find a job I have an MBA !They are in great demand !It won’t take long but as I said we will have to economize!’ says Pete “We will have to live on your salary!’
“Pete I’m not taking a salary quite honestly my shop isn’t doing well! We’re in the red !I haven’t taken a salary in months!’ says Colby alarmed
“Then I guess we are going to have to really cut back! No more shopping at those high end stories! In fact no more shopping at all except for necessities!’ says Pete “Definitely no more takeout I’ll start cooking until I get a job!’
“I’d like to see that! says Colby laughing ”you can’t even make toast without burning it!’
“I can too! I’ll get some cook books form the library! says Pete grabbing her by the waist and putting her on his lap and kissing her
“Okay big boy then I expect some cordon bleu are you up to?’ asks Colby joking
“Oh I’m up to Colby! Tomorrow you’re coming home to a surprise but for now waht about my surprise? asks Pete seductively
‘Pete come in to the bedroom and see what I bought you! And before you say I have to take it back sorry negligees are non refundable!’ says Colby jumping off his lap and running into the bedroom!
“Is it my favourite color?’ asks Pete expectantly
“Only if your favorite is Blue!”says Colby laughing from the bedroom
“My favourite is whatever you’re wearing, but flesh tone is even better !’Pete says lustfully opening the bedroom door and shutting it quietly behind him!’
