2:30 pm
"We're going to have company for dinner tonight," you tell me in a rush. You're late for a meeting it sounds like so this must be very important. "My boss is coming over to talk about my new promotion. He's Italian so make your grandma's spaghetti and a salad. I'll text you what to wear later."
You don't even give me time to reply before you hang up. I stare at the kitchen wondering if I have everything I need for tonight. I wasn't planning on making spaghetti today and even though I know I have sauce frozen I doubt you'll appreciate that. I head to the store to get all the ingredients I need for the sauce and stop at a farmers market on the way back to pick up vegetables for the salad and homemade pasta from the retired Italian lady up the street that sells her cooking on the side.
I start with the lettuce, breaking off the leaves and letting them soak in the sink while I get the meat cooking in a frying pan on the stove and open the cans and bottles to start the sauce. I chop all the vegetables for the sauce and throw them in with the meat to cook up while I dice the lettuce up and spin it in the salad spinner. Once the vegetables and meat are cooked and the sauce is boiling, I add them together and let the sauce simmer. In two hours, the sauce will be ready and even though I know you like my spaghetti, I'm still nervous as hell.
4:30 pm
I'll be home in an hour, I want you in your nicest white blouse and the black skirt that goes to your knee. No bra and no underwear. I'll be home in an hour and supper better be ready.
Your text comes just as I take a baking sheet of bacon out of the oven and I rush to reply before I pat the grease off the bacon and break it up to add to the salad. It makes me laugh that you want me to dress so conservatively and yet at the same time not wear any under garments. But I don't imagine anything will happen in front of your boss, it's probably yet another way you try to humiliate me without even doing anything.
By five, I have the garlic bread in and I start shredding the Parmesan cheese the lady down the street gave me, I swear the seventy year old Italian grandmother has a crush on you, she always sends little "treats" for you. When I'm done with the cheese, I go down to the basement and get a bottle of wine from the wine cellar beside out little "Play Room". I giggle as I stare at the door but can't stay long, I have a dinner to finish and the door is locked anyways.
I open the wine, to let it breath, and set it on the table beside the salad I toss lightly and let get room temperature. I top the salad with a little grated Parmesan and set the farmer's market homemade salad dressing beside the bowl. I start to panic as I pull the garlic bread out and see that it is twenty after five already and I still have so much to do. I put the bread in a bowl and place it on the table too. In a bit of a hurry I set the table with silverware and plates, bowls for the salad and our best wine glasses. I folded my best cloth napkins and race upstairs to get dressed. I dress exactly how you say, the white blouse you like that buttons down the front and clings just a little too tight to my breasts and the black skirt that rids up if I'm not careful but sits just above my knee. You didn't tell me if I should put pantyhose on so I don't, I pull my hair up into a more put-together ponytail than before and head back down.
I'm back in the kitchen and barely have time to put dessert in the oven and put the spaghetti into a pot of boiling water. Luckily, with fresh pasta it only takes a minute or two to cook and I can plate it up quickly. When I hear you open the door, I place the last plate down and quickly dish out the salad before you and our guest can walk into out connected kitchen dining room.
"Mr. Gregson, this is my wife Amy," you say as you put your arm out for me to come stand beside you.
I come to you with a smile on my face and I offer your boss my hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you Sir." This is not completely true, we've met before for two seconds at a company picnic and other business function but he never remembered meeting me and it was just more polite this way.
"You have a cozy little home here," he says politely and I smile sweetly even though I know the whole first floor of our house could fit in his living room.
"It looks like dinner is served," you say to cut the awkward silence and you give my ass a squeeze that goes unnoticed by your boss even though my cheeks blush a bright red.
"I hope you enjoy," I reply as I lead the way to the table. "The wine is from our personal collection, and Mrs. Russo down the street would never forgive us if we served anything but her freshly made pasta." I tell your boss with a smile as we all sit down.
"You've out done yourself baby," you say as I pour you a small bit of wine and you taste it before giving me the nod. I top off your glass, pour your boss some and then pour myself a little also.
"A very Italian meal," your boss beams. "Just like my own mother used to make."
As the meal goes on, your boss talks about his childhood, his parents, "The Old Country", and how food never tastes as good as his Nona used to make. You are listening intensely but I know it's just your good manners showing and not actual interest. You can't stand your boss and you never try to hide it when we're alone.
Finally, about half way through the meal you look over at me and frown. "You spilled sauce on that nice blouse." I look down slightly embarrassed and try to wipe it with the napkin. "Don't do that, you'll make it worse," you scold and I look up at you. I know that tone your voice has taken on and it's not going to be good for me. "Take it off."
"What?" I look at you in shock and your boss almost chokes on the mouth full of wine he has.
"Stand up and take it off," you reply in a much rougher tone. "Now." I can tell you're getting sick of my disobedient and that you have a plan, reluctantly I stand up and start to unbutton my shirt. "Hurry up girl or I will rip the shirt right off of you." I move as fast as my fingers will go and soon have them all undone. "All the way off and hang it on the back of the chair." I desperately want to melt into the floor. I know you have a plan I just wish I knew what it was.
The minute my shirt comes off your boss stares at my breasts and I can feel his eyes on me as I place my blouse over the back of my chair. "Beautiful aren't they," you say as you pinch one of my nipples and pull it before letting go.
"Are you insane man?" Your boss is stunned and yet he's still staring at my breasts.
You laugh but it's not your normal laugh, "This Sir, is why you are going to give me that promotion."
