On the five minute drive home, Paige was still giddy from her victory! Even though the sixty dollars she won came from their joint bank account, it still felt awesome that the money was in HER purse! She reached over and stroked Chad's thigh; with her tongue firmly in cheek she said, "Don't feel bad, Hon! A lesser man would have lost a whole lot quicker than you did!"
"I don't see that as a loss at all!" he guffawed. "Any time I get to fuck your beautiful ass...well, that's a win to me, no matter the circumstances!"
"The whole night was fun," she returned, "it kinda makes me think we should get into this swinger thing. What do you think?"
"I don't believe we need to commit to anything at the moment," he replied. "Let's just take one day at a time and see what develops." It was 2:00am when they climbed into bed and spooned for a few minutes. Chad held her close and whispered in her ear, "Damn, I wonder what's gonna happen tomorrow?"
As it turned out, NOTHING happened the next day...or the next...or for the next ten days. Of course, five times they had sex (two of which might be classified as love-making, and three of which were of the "fucking-our-brains-out" variety. Sylvie had gone out of town for a week to help her ill mother, Marie was juggling her two boyfriends, Kayla's basketball season officially started; it was nonstop busy-busy The two friends still had lunch together three times, but the conversation never got into setting up something unusual.
That is...until the third lunch. They had just finished their food when Marie said, "Okay, before I get back to work, when are you and I going to get together again? It's been too long!"
Paige made a show of counting on her fingers, "You think ten days is too long?" she teased.
Marie laughed and was just about to answer that when Sara McCullers walked up and surprised them, "Why, hello girls! Long time no see, right?"
"Sara!" said Paige, "How are you? More importantly, how is Jason's sister?"
"Oh my God, it took a while to figure out what happened; she had a small stroke, but on top of that she had some sort of reaction to the medication they gave her. We are fortunate she's still with us."
"There's some good news there, right?" said Marie. "Is she home now?"
"Yes, and she's feeling much better. There doesn't seem to be any lasting effects from the stroke."
"More good news!" Paige added. "So what brings you here today?"
"Oh, I was just in Jason's office; and Valerie spotted you walking this way; and because Jason and I have rescheduled the postponed party, I thought I would give you your invitations in person."
"Awesome," Marie enthused, "so when is it?"
"A week from Sunday which is October 23," Sara stated. "And just to be clear, Paige can bring her husband." She looked at Marie, "We have very strict rules about people being in committed relationships; I'm sorry, Marie." But she added with a wink, "Yet (because we trust you) YOU can come by yourself!"
Marie giggled, "I'm honored! But we're going to need to play this one by ear; meaning, if Paige goes, then I'll go."
Paige gave her BFF a playful shove, "Thanks for the added pressure, right?"
The brunette shrugged, "I don't know all these people like you do. Maybe that means YOU'RE the bigger slut?" Paige blushed but all three of them broke up laughing.
"Okay then, the invitations are given," said Sara, "we hope everyone can make it!"
As she was going back to the office, Jorge Rodriguez called, "Hello Jorge! It's good to hear from you again!"
"Hi, Paige! Yeah, it took a while; Gloria and I were deciding between if we should go three or four bedrooms. How about we let you show us two of each?"
"I think that's a very good idea! Then the next question is, 'What is your price range?'"
"Oh, somewhere in the $290-300,000 range maybe?"
"That's great! We can definitely help you! Let's get you pre-qualified and in the meantime, I'll do some research and we can set up an afternoon for a tour."
"Awesome!" said Jorge, "I have Friday off this week; will that work for you?"
"I'm in my car right now, but I'll check my calendar when I get back to the office. Let's figure on Friday at 1:00, and I'll text you to confirm."
"Perfect! Talk to you soon!"
As Paige disconnected her next thought was a naughty one, "I wonder if Jorge and Gloria have any 'pineapples?'" That made her giggle, and she was still smiling about it as she parked her car. The Hannigan office was equipped with a bell that dinged when the door opened, and when Paige entered, she was taken aback; the office was empty. This would not have been unusual before Reggie's hiring, but this was the first time it had happened since.
She called out, "Reggie? Are you here?" Paige walked over and picked up her mail; as she was sorting through the half-dozen envelopes, all of a sudden Reggie emerged from the conference room.
"Hi Paige!"
"Hey Reg, I would have..." Paige stopped because she got surprised; Charlie Green came out of the conference room ten seconds behind Reggie!
He was grinning, "Paige! How's my favorite agent of pleasure doing?"
The redhead's eyebrows shot up! "Well, well, well! I didn't interrupt anything, did I?"
Reggie put two hands up and covered her face in embarrassment, but Charlie responded, "Of course you did, but that's okay; we weren't doing anything pornographic."
Paige laughed, "Right, YOUR definition of 'pornographic' is a bit different than most!"
Charlie laughed as well, "I'm sure that's true! Then let's just say no one was naked; how 'bout that?"
"Okay, no one was naked; but I bet there was some serious groping going on, right Reg?"
"I'm sorry, Paige," Reggie returned, "this big fuck here is so sneaky!"
Paige grinned, "Don't I know it! But if I may, the next time? You two should lock the front door!"
"Noted," said Charlie, "should I lock it right now?"
She just stared at him, "You're incorrigible!"
He smiled, "I guess...but it's Reggie's fault!"
"How so?"
"She's fucking irresistible; so are you for that matter!"
Both women laughed and shook their heads; Reggie said, "I'll lock it next time, Paige!"
Paige took her mail and headed for her office, "As tempting as your offer sounds, Charlie, I have to get some work done; I have to get it done by Friday."
She sat down at her desk, and Charlie stuck his head in the door, "By the way, how are you and Regina getting along, Paige?"
"She's great, Charlie; I can see why you think she's irresistible!"
"Yep, I wasn't kidding when I said that." He walked over to her and continued, "Being that I'm a nosy fuck, have you two kissed yet?"
Paige giggled, "Uhh, no."
"You should try that...her kisses make me hard in ten seconds!"
"Everything with a pussy makes you hard in ten seconds!"
Charlie burst out laughing. "No really; I'm being serious here. Would you like to try her out right now?"
She eyed him for a good ten seconds, "You're serious."
"Of course I am; she would love to do it!"
