When the two women got back in the car, Paige looked at Marie and said, "Now THAT was completely amazing!"
"No kidding," Marie replied, "I had no idea!"
"What are you gonna do?"
Marie flashed an impish look at her friend, "What am I going to do? What are WE going to do?"
"We?" Paige laughed, "I am going to get that house sold; we are not doing anything until then! But I'm a little concerned about you. Your boss put you in a sensitive spot; or was it his wife? Well, whoever it was, we were propositioned; is your job in jeopardy now?"
Marie smiled, "I don't think it's in any danger. I think the McCullers are smart people; do you think he will try to force me to attend his parties?"
"Probably not, no."
"Neither do I; I like Jason, and having met Sara, I like her too... but just in case, I have a trump card."
"You do? What is that?"
Marie's smile turned into a grin; she took her cell phone out of her shirt pocket and punched in her code, "I recorded the whole conversation!"
"YOU WHAT?"
Marie laughed, "I recorded the whole thing!"
"Holy shit, Marie!"
"The moment I figured out what the deal was, I turned on the recorder. You didn't even notice, right? I'm sure they didn't either. It's just for safe-keeping; I'm not the kind to use stuff like that against anyone."
Paige giggled, "No, YOU'RE the kind who might love to go to one of their parties; I saw how you reacted to Sara kissing you!"
"I think the whole thing is pretty sexy; I might like to go at least once, just to check it out. Wouldn't you?"
"Uhh, well... There's no way to even try it unless Chad goes with me; and how would I explain it to him?"
"I would think swingers are quite good at keeping secrets."
Paige opened the security gate and pulled out onto the street, "Right now I have enough to do to keep the one secret I have...much less another one as big as a swing-party!"
"I agree, what say we keep this all hush-hush until the closing is over; then reassess."
"For sure," the light ahead turned red and she reached over and took Marie by the hand, "at the moment, I have two very sexy people in my life; expanding my horizons isn't a thought I need in my head!"
Marie burst out laughing, "Damn...and here I was thinking you might be interested in another kind of adventure!"
"Nope, the swing thing sounds fun, but again... there's no way I can work that into my life now."
"I wasn't referring to the 'swing-thing.'"
"What do you mean then?"
"Ohhh...well... if you're not interested in 'expanding your horizons' maybe I shouldn't have brought it up!"
Paige pulled over to the curb, put the car in park and said, "What the hell are you talking about? What have you done?"
"I haven't done anything yet, I was just thinking of something that might be entertaining."
"What? Tell me."
"Yeah, we kinda mentioned one time about you watching me with Robert; didn't we?" Paige blushed and covered her face with her hands. Marie threw her head back and laughed, "Haahahahah...I know how to get you every single time!"
Peeking at her friend from between her fingers, Paige moaned, "How is that any different than the swing thing? It's just one more secret I'd have to keep from Chad."
"Okay then, if you don't want to do it then I'll just..."
"I didn't say I didn't WANT to do it, I said it makes things too complicated."
"I think it's more the case of you don't want to tell your future husband what you're really thinking; but you're also a little scared of getting old and never really exploring life like you want; isn't that it?" Of course Marie nailed it, but Paige didn't want to admit that out loud. "And on top of that, what's holding Chad back from marrying you? Shouldn't you be married already? Maybe he's too comfortable with the status quo?"
Paige put the car in gear; she had a pained look on her face so Marie let that sink in and stayed quiet while her BFF thought. They drove for several minutes without a word, and it wasn't until Paige turned into the entrance to the zoo that Marie noticed her frown had turned into a smile. "Smiling huh? THAT'S a good sign!"
"Yes, uhh, if I'm going to keep secrets, I may as well have some fun doing it!"
"That's the spirit! You know I'm right, huh?"
Paige slapped her on the thigh, "You don't have to be right here, all I know is it would be fun to watch Robert teach your naughty, little pussy some manners!"
"Awesome! I'll set it up! How does Saturday night look?"
"That might work, but Sunday afternoon might be better; I'll let you know later tonight after I check a few things."
Marie reached over and let her fingers trail down Paige's cheek, then her neck, then her shoulder, and then over her right breast. She leaned over and whispered, "My horny self can't wait!" Paige shivered and Marie continued, "Maybe you and I can have a little fun before Sunday; maybe?"
Paige looked at Marie, "You are sooo bad!"
*******************************************
That afternoon Paige drew up the paperwork for the offer. The owners were asking $495,000; she briefly considered asking $475,000, but then she thought about how this was an opportunity upgrade into a more lucrative network. If she could somehow score a great deal for the McCullers, there was no telling what doors it might open. So she crossed her fingers and sent the offer in at $450,000.
That night there was so much to think about, it almost gave her a headache. Just to break up the train of thoughts, she took Jimmy and Jamie to the park and let them wear themselves out for a bit. When she got home, she spent extra time reading to them; and once they were in bed, she sat down with the girls and tried to help them with their homework. That didn't last long though, they were doing math; and Sophia's pre-algebra was stirring up her sorta headache again. She called Chad and discovered he was working late, and her mother was busy watching her favorite shows on TV.
So at 9:30 she poured herself a glass of wine and went to her room. She needed a good, hot bath and her legs needed shaving anyway. After starting the water she took off her shorts and just as she unhooked her bra, her cell phone pinged with a text; it was Marie, and all it said was "Sunday, 3:00pm." Paige shivered and her nipples hardened! She was smiling though as she touched the reply, "You are SOOO BAD!" A minute later she was settling down in the tub; the hot water began to work its magic on her outsides while the alcohol did its thing on her insides. Shaving and loofah-ing her legs felt great and she took extra time to trim her pussy. It all felt so sensual that she almost masturbated in the tub; but didn't. Sleep came quickly then.
The next day was Friday and getting everyone ready was busier than usual; Olivia had to get to school early to serve a detention, and that was perturbing; this was the first Paige heard of it. But after the necessary "responsibility" lecture (and many eye-rolls,) she finally got everyone where they needed to be and walked into the office at 9:15.
Cousin Jimmy greeted her with a high five! "Hey, Congrats, Partner! Your first try at a property over $250,000. Good luck!"
"Yes, thanks! I've been very lucky to this point; let's hope my luck holds out!"
"I took a look at it; did you know that house has been vacant for three months? It's a miracle it hasn't gone before this; it's prime!"
Paige paused, "Five bedrooms is a lot; it sure narrows down the field of possible buyers."
Jimmy just plunged ahead, "Well, maybe your clients have a lot of grandkids; who knows?"
"And who cares?" Paige added.
Jimmy laughed, "Very true! It will be nice to see more 'Hannigan Realty' signs in that neighborhood someday."
"Always thinking ahead, eh boss?"
"It's my job; YOU sell, I'll think ahead."
Walking to her desk Paige declared, "That's a deal!" As she opened up her inbox, she was pleased to see one of the first emails was from the sellers. Not surprisingly they were countering her offer with $480,000, and after debating for a moment, she countered again with $470,000.
Three hours later, after she had shown two condominiums to an elderly couple who wanted to downsize, she was back in the office checking the mail. One minute after that she was excitedly calling Marie, "Oh my God, Sweetie! The sellers accepted Jason and Sara's offer. I'm in the money!"
"Awesome Sauce, Babe! This calls for a celebration!"
