It was a dark and rainy night. A classic starting to a story, but in this case it was a darken night caused by a huge rain storm. My work had called me back in earlier in the night to shut down system encase of lightning strikes. So I had time to kill since the power was out at home, and the family was out of town for the weekend visiting my wife's parents, ugh. I decided to stop in at my favorite watering hole to catch some sports and hang with whoever was here I knew. Hey and it was also taco bar night so it was a great deal all around.
When I got in the bar I loaded up a plate got me a nice Bourbon and coke and found a good seat that allowed me to look at three different big-screen. Life is good I thought. I looked up and one of my regular hang out buddies was headed to my table also with a plate of tacos also. He had this sullen look.
"Hey, bud, what's got you down looking?"
"Well Dave it's like this, I have this neat thing that is happening and I can't really share it with anyone. It's is kinda neat to me, but if it got out totally embarrassing to me and most definitely Karen. But my real problem is I am not sure I am normal because I love what's going on, instead of being upset. You're going to have to tell me what you think."
Ah Karen, my mind went into overtime in immediate fantasy. This is a woman that is in her mid-thirties, looks to be in her mid-twenties. She has one of t hose bodies that no matter what she wears you can see she has a beautiful set of perky tits, and that Venus "V" between her legs that makes you just shudder wishing you could have her for thirty minutes once in a lifetime. You top this off with long flow auburn hair and those green, not hazel, but truly green eyes that burn with a smoldering passion in them for all things to do with life. I was so hard just thinking about her. Ah, But back to the story.
"Okay, Mitch ole buddy, if you want to tell me I will listen and never say a word, if not I understand. No one likes to embarrass themselves and god help us if we do it to our women, the pay-back never ends."
Mitch and I sat in silence for the longest time eating and sipping our drink and mindlessly watching what was on all the screens.
"Dave, you remember when Tony invited us to see his new high tech officer building for his construction company?" Mitch asked this with this kind of faraway look of the good ole days.
"Yeah, you were engaged and I had been married to Angie for a short period of time. He had just finished two huge contracts and need to spend some dollars on capital improvements or some such crap to avoid high taxes, so he built that palace of intrigue if I remember the nickname you gave it."
"Well Dave, what are the two things you remember most about our visit? I know what I remember."
Back to silence while I mulled over what he said. I guess we must have sat there ten minutes while I thought about that day. Tony had called and asked if some of us from the Sunday football group at the bar wanted to come out and look, then he offered four of us that have known each other since high school to stick around for a private tour of the "Whole" building. Mitch and I were the only two from the high school group to show.
The building was huge and ultra modern even by today's standards. It was completely wired for computers, internet, cable TV and everything else you could think of. The entry way was open and you could look up into the private suites for the big boys as Tony put it. As the owner and President his was the largest office area, followed by his two VP's and then room for up to three secretaries. It was dark smoked glass so you really could not see in. But he said the cool thing is it is adjustable. He used a rotating switch and it did something to adjust the glass darkness from total black out to lightly grey. He then told us that is only from the outside, on the inside of the suite it never changed you could easily see out. He had found a company making this over in Europe and had it imported.
After we toured downstairs in the main area, which by the way was awesome set up, he took us up into the reception area of the bosses' suite as he called it. For whatever reason I remember that he would not show us much of the upstairs when we went up from the lobby.
"Mitch, you know what I remember the most" I said after the long silence. "I remember him giving us a code and telling us to drive around and park in the private garage and take the elevator back up to the second floor. I remember when you parked and I got out the spot next to the VIP parking had his car in the presidents spot and the two VP spots were empty that day as was the two Secretary spots and the one spot marked Office Slut was right next to us and we joked about that."
"Yeah" Mitch said and gave a small smile
"I also remember that when the elevator opened it was a whole different upstairs we stepped into. There was this back hall and hidden rooms and a bedroom suite and the like. Tony told us that is was for use by the office slut and all the staff. I even remembered you joking that no one has a real office slut and Tony going "well we don't have one yet but we are working on it, but everything is here when we find her." Then you crack a joke that you hope he got a she-male and we all laughed our asses off."
"Gawd I forgot about that comment". We were both laughing now. "Yeah I also remember him saying it would be close to a six figure job since she would have all sorts of special requirements, then you were still laughing and said yeah like a dick and tits. I was never sure if he thought that was funny or not but he did laugh."
We went back to eating and small talk and watching the games. After a few minutes of this I remember to ask him how his wife's search was going for a job. She had been laid off from a nice paying job working in a advertising firm doing stuff for the two bosses as an executive assistant. They got hit hard by the economy when it had the down turn and they let what they considered were luxuries go - her position was one of those luxuries.
"Oh she got a job about a month or two back" was Mitch's casual answer and we just moved on into the games and some more beer and tacos. I just let it drop about his original question on wanting to share something but wanting to make sure I would never spill it.
Sometime after the games half time Mitch returned from a smoke with a cup of coffee and more food.
"Okay good buddy, I am feeling my beer and feel good about this so let me spill some guts here" This is how he started his conversation. "My wife was hired by Tony."
Awesome was all I could think of.
"You see she was desperate to get work, our bills were stacking up. So one day two months ago on a Monday morning she decided to go hit everyplace in town that had secretary or HR positions in their structure. She set out with a stack of resumes and in a nice business pant suit to get a job."
"That makes sense. And Tony hired her, that is awesome." was my reply. I went back to the game thinking this was the big news.
"Well it doesn't quit end there. She stopped and left her resume off at his company as was told there was no opening. That was like nine in the morning. Somewhere about two in the afternoon she is driving home dejected when her cell rings and it is the big cheese himself Tony calling her and saying he would like to talk to her about a job he might have open."
"Well Mitch that makes sense to me." I started to get up to go get some coffee and snack myself. I figured I had paid for the buffet might as well get my money's worth.
"No,no,no, sit your ass down and hear me out."
Back to the chair I went and leaned forward and looked at him closely, he was not near as toasted as I thought. "Okay Mitch, I will listen for a few more minutes than I gotta hit the can, grab some food and another coffee."
"Well Karen drove back there. When she got there Tony met her at the front desk and they walked up to the big office of his. They went over in that little sitting area with the big screen TV and sat down. He flipped through the resume. He then told her he had one position open, but it required more than her office skills. He told her the lady that held it just left two weeks earlier and while they, meaning him and the VP's, can get along without the position being filled, when saw her down there dropping off her resume he thought she would be perfect for it."
"Okay, that sounds about right. We both know Tony has made his millions by paying attention to all the details in his business."
"I know Dave, that's why I was sitting at work kinda excited. I know he pays decent and he has plenty of work so she would at least make it till something better came along."
Yeah, Mitch we all look for that something better." I started laughing.
"Well, Tony and Karen talked for a bit, and covered her resume and her background and educations. You know the standard stuff. But then, according to Karen, out of nowhere he asked her how her sex life was it still active on her part. He said it was important to the job he had in mind."
