Chapter 7

The time has flown past and now it's Saturday, the day of my housewarming party!

I wake up that morning to a beautiful bright sunshiny day. I smile to myself as I get out of bed and do a happy dance. I can't wait for everyone to come over and see my place. I'm so past ready to be able to entertain in my own home.

I go thru the motions of getting myself washed and dressed. I dress in something simple today. A t-shirt and shorts. It's getting a little warmer outside as the summer wears on. If I have to be outside, I try to put on the airiest clothes I have, I really hate being hot. I hate sweating even more.

I have everything all planned out already, since it was nice out, I'm gonna set up the grill to put some hot dogs, sausages, burgers, chicken, and ribs on. I'm gonna have some cold salads on the side, not that I'm cooking. I got it catered from this soul food joint called Mama Rey's.

I also I hired a chef to man the grill. What? I'm lazy and just want to relax and get drunk.

The party was scheduled to start at 6pm, but knowing my friends, they'd be here at 4pm ready to start.

The time has just hit 3:30pm, and I've just walked in the house from a liquor store run when I hear the bell sound behind me. I set the boxes of alcohol, beer, and juice down and turn to the door. When I open it, I'm immediately bombarded with hugs from Melissa and Jack, who are making a lot of noise jumping up and down in my hallway.

I smile at them, "Hey guys! Y'all are here pretty early!"

Melissa says "We wanted to get the party started early and have you a lil tipsy by time the party starts."

I laugh "Ha ha, no one needs that!"

Jack laughs, "They're gonna get it anyway!"

We all laugh while I tell Jack to help me take the boxes to the kitchen. I set up all the alcohol on the counter, and put the beer and juice in the fridge. Jack pours us shots of tequila that we all throw back.

15 minutes and 2 more shots later, the doorbell rings again. I feel like the tequila is starting to hit me as I blink slowly listening to the doorbell ringing before it registers with me what that sound is.

I jump up, and run out of the kitchen to the door, I open it to see Lily, who squeals and throws herself into my arms. I hug her while leaning back because jeez the lady is shrieking in my ear!

After I set her back on her feet on her feet, we walk into the kitchen, and she runs over to greet Melissa and Jack.

She's babbling a mile a minute, with hand gestures and everything.

So I say "Easy there lady! We're here all day!"

She laughs, stops talking, and takes a few deep breaths. After she calms a bit, she asks "Have you guys ever heard of Chase Logan? He owns Logan Enterprise?"

I stand stock still, "Logan Enterprise? Did you say Chase Logan?"

Chase Logan, as in the Mr. Logan who is currently trying to buy the company of my present employer.

She shrieks "Yesss!"

"THE number one business company in the state, may be even all of the states!"

I nod slowly thinking back to the fact that Mr. Baldoni had a drinking meeting with Mr. Logan a couple weeks back.

"What about him?" I ask.

She yells "Drum roll please…..He's looking for a new personal secretary!"

I pale, shocked I stutter " N-no way!"

She shrieks again "Yes! It's true! A friend of mine is the secretary on his floor, she says his personal secretary was fired because she lied about being a beta, and went into heat in front of Mr. Logan, then she tried to sleep with him!"

I shout "What?! How could any one be so deceitful and lie about something like that?!"

She sighs, "I know, Mr. Logan was so upset, because turns out the secretary was a dominant omega, she almost sent him into rut, but he called security immediately and took suppressants."

I say "Wow, your secretary friend sure knows a lot about what happened."

Melissa chuckles "That's the grapevine for you, but all you have to do to confirm, is go to the company site and check the job listings."

I say "I would love to do that guys, but look at the time, it's 5:45pm. Help me take the salads from the fridge."

As soon as I finish talking, the doorbell rings. I walk out from the kitchen to get the door. I open it to see Linda, George, Kathy, and Paul from my job outside.

"Hello guys! Thank you for coming, come right on in!"

I give short hugs to Linda and Kathy, and handshakes to George and Paul.

"Follow me to the kitchen so I can introduce you to my friends!"

We all walk in to the kitchen, and pointing as I speak I say,

"Linda, Kathy, George, Paul, meet Melissa, Jack, and Lily."

Everyone choruses their hellos.

"We were just taking shots, and y'all have to join, we have to get the party started early! Woohoo!" I say loudly.

Everyone laughs while Linda, Kathy, George, and Paul accept the shots that are handed to them. I take another, and we all down the shots.

"Yes!"

"Let me finish setting up before anyone else comes."

I look in the backyard and notice that the chef is already back there grilling, I chuckle thinking how could I have not known that he arrived? Did he even let me know he was here? I'm not sure, there's been so much going on since everyone started arriving.

After we set up the salads, we put the beer in a tub of ice, and set the pitchers of mixed drinks on the counter.

At this time the doorbell rings again. I walk out to open the door to find my 2 brothers and sister outside. They are all alphas, and they are all older. My sister Roxanne is closest to me in age at 28, then comes my brother Tim at 30, then coming in at the oldest is my brother Levi at 34.

They treat me like I'm a baby because I am. Not A baby just The baby of the family.

I'm also the only beta, which they all try to make sure I don't feel lacking because of. I whoop loudly

"OMG! It's been ages since I've seen you guys!"

I pass hugs all around, hugging each one of them tightly because I have missed them.

"I wasn't sure if you guys were gonna make it or not!"

They all laugh, "We weren't sure either." Roxanne says.

They're all lawyers, they opened a firm together and business has been booming.

"Come in! Come in! Let's get out of the door!"
