Katie Steps In
The office of la Vie Sports Management buzzed with excitement. It was the second Friday of December, the day of the much-anticipated office Christmas party.
The party was an annual tradition that the entire staff looked forward to. It was always held somewhere special, and a lot of time and effort went into its planning to ensure a terrific evening would be had by all.
Steve, who had been with the company since its inception, was once again the party coordinator. He was a smart, good looking man in his fifties; one of the senior sports managers. He had assumed the coordinator role at the very first party and had continued to organize it every year. He was always counted on to plan and run the event smoothly.
Katie, the public relations manager, was in her office with her door closed, and the blinds were drawn. She had been with the company for several years, and she and Steve had developed something more than a pure business relationship. Katie was a mystery to most of the employees, but still well-liked. She had a reputation for being a little eccentric, or as the gossips described her, she was "old school" or "a bit posh". She was known for her somewhat lively style, and she used words like "cripes" and "gosh" that had long gone out of fashion.
Katie liked the boys, and they loved her. Three young guys in marketing bragged about an overnight trip visiting a customer with Katie. The rumours are that they all went skinny dipping in the hotel's pool, and afterwards, Katie invited them all to her room. It was also rumoured that Katie was very successful at her job liaising with various sportsmen for reasons other than just job competency. Katie was an enigma to all.
The rumours were started due to Katie's good looks. She was in her late thirties. All the men in the office took notice of her and secretly fancied her. Unlike the thin fashion models, she had a very sexy figure. She had long shapely legs, her breasts were firm and full, giving her an hourglass shape, and she always smiled. The men in the office loved her because she was so unpredictable, sexy, and unique.
Katie, waiting for 5:00 pm so she could leave and get ready for the party, was startled by a knock on her door. She swung her desk chair around to face the door and said, "Come in."
Steve rushed in, and blurted, "Hi Katie, I'm so glad you're still here. I really need some help. Can I sit in this chair and talk to you?"
Katie pulled her chair around the desk to face Steve's chair, and said, "Sit Steve, sit. Calm down and tell me what's going on."
Steve looked into Katie's eyes, grasped her hand, and began his explanation. "As you know, I've rented a renovated strip club for the party tonight and booked a comedian and a stripper to perform. It's been the talk about the office for the last two weeks, and everyone is going to be there. Roger, the new vice president of operations, also thinks that he is getting a lap dance from the stripper for his birthday."
Katie said, "Steve, I'm aware of that, and everyone is looking forward to it, especially the lap dance."
Steve blurted, "Katie, that's the problem. We've promoted the party, and particularly the stripper doing the lap dance to the point that if it falls apart, it would be viewed as a catastrophe. Let me re-phrase that and say it would be viewed as my catastrophe. Just thirty minutes ago, I received a call from the agency supplying the stripper. She cannot perform, and they do not have a replacement. As you can imagine, I am at my wits end about what to do."
"Where on earth could I hire a stripper at this time of day for performance in just a few hours. But then I came up with what seems a stupid idea," Steve said. "It really is the most stupid idea, and I really don't know how to ask you, in fact, I don't know if I can," Steve added.
Katie sat up straight in her chair, pointed at Steve, and giggled. "Gosh," she said, smiling, "Steve, you are going to ask me if I will do it, aren't you? You want me to stand in for the stripper and do a lap dance, don't you? Gosh."
"Look, Katie, I'm sorry. I admit it was a foolish idea, and I should never have even thought of it." Steve mumbled. "Never mind, and please forget that I ever asked you. I'm sorry, I apologize for even thinking it."
Katie swivelled her chair slightly from side to side, swinging her knees and grinned at Steve. Her exhibitionist tendencies rising, she said, "Steve, please don't apologize. I think it's a fun idea, and I take it as a compliment that you would think of me as being able to entertain as a stripper. The more I think about it, the more that I think I would really like to do it. In fact, I think it's a super-hot idea! Goodness, how exciting, just imagining me doing a real live strip."
Steve looked at Katie in amazement. "Blimey Katie, you're a wonder you are. I thought you'd slap me in the face, and not be keen to do it at all. You've saved me!"
"I definitely want to do it, alright. Crickey, what shall I wear, I don't have, you know, erotic dancewear, as such," she said? "Oh, I'm sure I can find something. In fact, I already have some ideas. I'll need to leave now to get ready. But, first, let me ask you a few questions."
Steve nodded. "Yes, of course."
"I was just wondering about stripping," Katie said. "I'm not exactly familiar with what happens, you know. In fact, I have never been to a real strip show. So, I was wondering...I know I'll have to take my top off, but do I have to take my knickers off too? You know, pull them down and show everything?" she asked.
Steve shook his head. "You do know that you're crazy, don't you? Yes, strippers always take everything off and finish up nude. If you wanted to, you could leave your knickers on, and I think it would be alright."
"Oh cripes, gosh. I think I'd better take my knickers off like a real stripper. Really, it's the dare of the year, isn't it? Hmm, it really is exciting for me. I've been topless at beaches and pools, that's nothing new, but getting up in front of this lot and pulling my knickers down? Well gosh, it's going to be so thrilling and exciting to do that," she exclaimed. "Anyway, what do you think, will some of the guys get a bit worked up when I strip, you know, get very aroused?"
"Oh Katie, you do beat about the bush sometimes. I would think every bloke from here will be extremely aroused. Are you alright about that?" Steve replied.
"Oh really," Katie exclaimed. "Wow, that's amazing. I've sometimes wondered about it, the idea of getting so many guys turned on. It's rather the point of wanting to do it, isn't it?"
Katie swung back and forth in her office chair for a moment then stopped and leaned forward towards Steve. "The thing is Steve, it's great that you thought of me to do this strip, but you've no idea what I look like undressed. I mean, you've never even seen me in a bikini. How do you know I'll look okay? You know, good enough to show off everything? I might be all wrinkly for all you know!"
"I've always thought that you look perfect, and I'm sure you will look good tonight. You have a great figure, and you're very sexy," Steve answered.
