I was laying there with Carol Lansing. She had one arm around me. I still had my shirt on, but my pants were somewhere in that room.
"Do you want me to get you something to eat?" Carol asked.
I looked at my watch and said, "Damn, its 4:30, I gotta see my lawyer."
I jumped up and went searching for my pants. Carol laid there looking at me. She said, "So are you going to come back?"
I wasn't really feeling starting something with an older woman, let alone a married woman. I gotta admit though, she really knew what she was doing in the bedroom. I wondered what Joe's problem was. At any rate, I continued searching for my pants asking ignoring her.
She asked again louder, "So, when are you going to come back."
I then found my pants. "I don't know when, but I'll give you a call." I said as I slipped my pants on.
"So that's all this was? A quick screw?" She said.
"Come on, I just found my wife fucking her lawyer and then you started praying before jumping my bones..."
"So it was just me?"
I grabbed a few more things and started walking to the door.
"Why don't you get the hell out of here,"
I was already headed to the door anyway. I guess I know why Joe is going elsewhere, because this woman is crazy. I went to the door as a shoe flew by my head.
I got out and slammed the front door shut. I heard her yelling in the house as I walked to my car. I looked again over at my house before jumping in the car and driving on to my lawyer's office.
I don't know if I was gonna get there in time so I had to really rush. Luckily I got there right when she was turning out the lights and getting ready to leave. It was then 5:30.
Barbara, I'm glad I caught you. Barbara was a fifty-five year old career woman who never married and was always working. I was quite surprised that she was getting ready to leave.
She was dressed as she always is, conservative. A business suit with a skirt that went down to her ankles. Her hair was tight and pulled back in a bun. Her dress was too loose to even tell that she was a woman.
Her makeup was always very minimal. But she was slightly attractive.
"So, I need to talk to you about the case?"
"The case, I thought it was over."
"Well, I think we need to look at the papers again, I saw her and her lawyer screwing in the house and think she might be trying to take me for a ride."
Barbara laughed, "You are getting a divorce, she is trying to take you for a ride no matter who she is screwing."
I angrily looked at her and said, "Are you going to look at my paper or not?"
"Not, I'm on my way out the door of this god-forsaken place. She then fought back a tear. I knew something wasn't right.
She then began walking out the door when she totally broke down and started crying. I thought "what the hell?"
I then began to back away when she said, "These assholes, I have worked here for 25 years as the most productive associate and now when it is time for partner they passed over me again."
"Hmmm..." I said looking for an exit.
"First they give it to someone's kid. Then they give it to a black guy form the outside. Then a hot woman who slept her way to the top. And now they tell me that I am too old."
I then asked her, "So what are you doing?"
"I quit, today is my last day, so I don't want to see any other law paper, brief, or any other thing. I am done."
"What are you going to do?"
"Hell if I know, but right now, I am about to go get drunk. Would you like to join me?"
Well, it wasn't like I had anything else to do. I even thought I might be able to get her to look at the papers after a few drinks.
"Where are we going?" I said.
"Right downstairs, there is a bar a block over."
We walked to the bar. It was one of those bars near corporate buildings. Clean, folks in business suits there.
Barbara started drinking from the time we got in there. It wasn't long before she got a bit tipsy, but not too drunk.
She let her blond hair out of the bun and shook it. It really brought out her blue eye color. She also took off her jacket. At that point, I realized that Barbara had some pretty full breasts.
I couldn't help myself as I stared at them. "What are you looking at?" She asked.
"I uh...I apologize."
