My name is Tim Howard. I'm a 42-year-old legal secretary who works at a very successful law firm. I'm quite smart and good at my job. Lacking the confidence to become an actual lawyer, I stayed in my position and became quite proficient at it, as it fit my personality. I was naturally quiet and submissive, which made me well-suited for the role of working for top-tier lawyers.
The firm was quite hierarchical, and we were expected to show respect to the lawyers in charge. I was a natural fit, and I did well being ordered around. I was also very precise in my work, which earned me a decent salary. This allowed me to afford a comfortable two-bedroom condo. I lived alone, and as a short, slightly overweight, shy man, I had very little luck with women, or rather, no luck at all. But I learned to accept my virginal, safe life.
Every year, a new crop of young, hotshot lawyers would come in, and one of them, Trent, fit the classic "Greek god" look, complete with a Harvard degree. He was excelling. As good-looking and successful as he was, he was also a super nice guy, even taking the time to talk to me on occasion about sports, as we both liked the same teams.
One morning, he came in upset because a major pipe had burst in his apartment and he needed a place to stay quickly. I had a free room, and thinking it would be nice to have a cool young guy live with me temporarily, I offered up my condo. Trent gratefully accepted. Since he was a young hotshot lawyer, he was out on the town most nights with his successful, high-status friends, but occasionally, he would stay in, and we'd watch our teams together. It was really nice. He wasn't the greatest at keeping the place clean, but I didn't mind cleaning up. It was nice to have some company, even though he never considered inviting me out with him.
About a month into staying at my place, he started seeing a gorgeous 20-year-old girl, Brandy. I hadn't met her at first, as he would only bring her over late at night, after the bars, when I was in my room. I did see her through the window a couple of times. She literally looked exactly like a young Megan Fox--a "mean girl." She was super loud in bed, which would give me a raging hard-on as I quietly jerked off in the other room, like the sad loser I was.
One evening, I came home after going to the grocery store and found Trent and Brandy sitting on the couch, watching TV.
"Hey buddy, this is my girlfriend Brandy. I don't think you two have met yet," Trent said.
I gave a nervous hello and introduced myself as Tim.
"Hi Timmy! It's lovely to meet you finally. I hope I haven't kept you up at night. I'm quite loud during sex, and Trent really brings it out in me."
I stammered a bit and awkwardly said, "It's fine."
"Wow, all those groceries! What are you making for dinner?" she asked.
I told her I had some tuna steaks and asparagus. It was on sale, so I bought some extra to freeze.
"Oh, wow! Trent said you're a talented little chef. Can you make some for us, Timmy?"
"Uh... er... sure," I awkwardly said.
"Oh, yay! Just let us know when it's ready," she said.
Even though I introduced myself as Tim, she went right to calling me "Timmy," which I hated, but of course, I said nothing.
Dinner took me about an hour to prepare, and I added a salad, which I hadn't planned on but thought would be appropriate since more than just myself was eating. Nobody ever offered help as they just sat and watched TV the entire time. I set the table, plated up a serving for everyone, and went out to tell them dinner was ready. Trent hopped right up, saying how starving he was, and Brandy walked by me toward the table, patting my cheek while thanking me.
