Alyssa.” I eyed Summer as the words politely fell from my mouth.
    “No! I mean no… Alyssa actually is headed back to the apartment, right Lis? You have a lot of work to get done.” Summer beamed her eyes at Alyssa and I saw her lurch to the side, following by a thump as she likely kicked Alyssa in the foot. “Besides, I’ll see you in a few hours, I don’t want you staying there alone.”
    “Oh yeah, right. Besides, I’m sure two would like some quiet time. Thank you so much for letting me crash here. I should get going.” Alyssa slid the stool out and kissed Summer on the cheek. “Thanks again Professor Kerns.”
    “Chase, and you’re welcome Alyssa.”
    “I’ll walk you out.” Summer squinted at Alyssa and I couldn’t help but chuckle to myself. Women.
    A few minutes later Summer returned and wrapped her arms around me from behind. “I missed you. I slept in your bed last night, it was…lonely, without you.”
    I spun and wrapped my arms around Summer’s waist, pulling her close and kissing her on the mouth. My body pushed against hers and I could feel myself growing hard. She clearly noticed too as she looked up and smiled, grinding lightly against me. “Later.” She smiled.
    “Have a seat, I’m just wrapping up dinner.” I pulled the two filets from the oven and set them on top of the stove, allowing them to rest. “Good thing Alyssa didn’t take me up on my offer.” I laughed.
    Summer sat at the table as I delivered dinner and poured her a glass of red wine. Although I enjoyed dining out, I enjoyed a quiet evening at home even more.
    “Thanks again for taking care of the apartment and sending your guy over.” Summer played with her wine glass as I pulled up to the table, joining her.
    “I’m just glad you’re both alright. I wish I could have been here. I would have left sooner, but this meeting…it’s been something I’ve been working on for a while. I’m sorry.”
    Summer took a small sip from her glass as she stared at me over the top of it. “Don’t be sorry. It’s not your fault…so tell me, how was the trip? Are you buying out another company? Taking over the world?” Summer giggled.
    “The world? No. But after that meeting, it definitely seems that things are headed in the right direction. I just need to find the right person to really run this project. It seems like it’s going to need a lot more oversight than I had originally anticipated and until I find that person, it means I have to do it.” I played with my food a bit as I thought about what that really meant. Less time here and more time away.
    “Well, I’m sure you’ll find the right person.” Summer smiled as she reached out and gently touched my hand.
    “Me too. Mr. Hamasaki is looking for someone as well. Someone that can speak the language so there is nothing lost in translation.”
    Summer leaned back in her chair, her face flushed a bit as she looked at me. “Mr. Hamasaki? Translator? I thought your project was in California?”
    “The meeting was in California. I’m looking to purchase a manufacturing plant in Osaka. I’m banking on the inspections going well, I’ve already sunk a ton of money into this project.” I cringed at the thought of exactly how much money I could possibly lose if things didn’t work out.
    “Japan? When were you going to tell me this? Are you going to have to be there a lot?” Summer stabbed at her food and took a sip from her wine glass. “What else don’t I know Chase? You know, Alyssa told me you were going to Japan and I didn’t believe her. I told her you would have shared that with me.”
    I quickly grabbed Summer’s hand and held it, looking deep into her eyes. “Summer, it’s alright. As of now, I may have to travel, but I’m not moving there and I’m not hiding anything from you. There was no sense in telling you anything if I didn’t know exactly what I should tell you.” I took in a deep breath, hoping I had managed to deescalate the
