The letters started six years ago, at the time when nobody believe in him, Blake had EJ to motivate him. Having never met his fan in person Blake devices what he considers a fail proof plan to find the boy. However he wasn't counting on multiple peo...
The rest of the week was a blur, by the start of the following week Emily was running around the office like a crazy person. Files needed to be delivered, meetings need to be attended and it all needed to be done before Wednesday. The picnic was fast approaching and with that came an extended weekend and Emily’s much needed trip home.
As the end on Tuesday rolled by, she and Claire sat on their flower print couch giving each other mani pedis before what Claire called “the big day”.
“OK, so does sexy boss man have any more relatives? You mentioned an aunt and uncle, so maybe male cousins?” Claire questioned as she added a second layer or red polish.
Emily looked at her friend’s color and then back at her own purple shade. She wondered if she should tell Claire that Blake did indeed have a male cousin, but she wasn't sure if he was single, all she knew was that he was a few years younger than Blake.
“He mentioned a cousin, don't know if he's single or even if he's interested in women, so you will have to wait and see.” Emily answered, her friend's eyes light up at the news the fact that there might be a similar version of Blake out there was a promising start.
“Good thing I picked this color then. Did you pack your bags yet?” Emily simply replied with a nod, her friend was busy holding her hand up to the light and admiring the scarlet paint against her tan skin to even notice. With a roll of her eyes and a huff she went back to her own nails and wondered how her polish would contrast with Blake's dark hair.

“Wow! I knew this picnic was a big deal, but seriously? There's a bar and are those grills? We cook our own food?I love this man. Can I marry him?” Claire was like a small child in a candy store, but in all fairness neither girl had expected the picnic to be so big.
There were several large grills, a table full of the food employees had brought and an assortment of inflatable bouncy houses, the biggest of which had a little blonde boy standing by the entrance.
“Back off my man, I love you but I will smother you in your sleep if you try something.”Emily teased setting down the marshmallow salad next to the rest of the desserts. The place was full of happy people all gathered around tables talking and a few of those who had already had a few drinks were out on the makeshift dance floor.
“OK girlfriend, I am off to be a Pringle and mingle.” With that Emily was left to watch as her best friend began to introduce herself to the rest of the guest.
“So, what do you think?” A deep voice asked from behind her. Emily blushed as Blake's arms wrapped around her in the middle of the crowd. She wasn't sure what people were going to say about her relationship with the company owner. Would they look at her differently now that she was in a relationship with her boss?
People simply smiled in their direction and went back to their conversations, it seemed that nobody really cared who Blake Redwood dated, or at least none of the employees did. She relaxed and let herself appreciate the arms that were around her.
