That night I laid in bed next to my sleeping husband and thought. If Kelly was right, if I could spend some time with Jim, maybe my ho-hum life would change. Then I realized... what was I really thinking... spend some time with Jim! What would that time lead to? Well, it would lead to sex! Sex like... well maybe like the sex he has with his sister! I'm guessing that sex with me would be something different than what he has with Kelly. There would be a different type of connection with me than he has with her. Was I willing to find out? Was I willing to put my family life in jeopardy for the desire to have sex with my son?
I didn't know it that night, but the next day would allow for things to happen that I couldn't fully grasp as I drifted off to sleep.
The next day as I showed up to work, I knew that my mind was not entirely focused on my job like it normally would have been. I also knew that I can do my job without putting in a lot of effort, it's just not that hard for me to get the things done.
After I sat down and logged on, I noticed that I had a new calendar appointment, it looked like a group meeting for today. I ask my cube mate if she had the same one and she said yes. I finished up some of my tasks that I had from yesterday and then got ready for the meeting.
We all assembled in the main large meeting area. The manager got on stage and started to speak about our problem with the cooling equipment. He said that it's working today but it may not last for long. A new unit should arrive in a few weeks. The mumbling from the masses was calmed by him when he said that we will be trying a new work model for a few months. Everyone was then focused on this new idea. He said that some of us will be allowed to work from home for a few months. They wanted to see if some of the staff can still get their job done without being at the office each day. The new idea was that once or twice a week those working from home would come into the office for part of a day to interact with the necessary groups. He said that not everyone would be allowed to do it, if your task had mission critical impact to the company's projects then you will need to be here in the office. He then said that as an incentive or maybe a disincentive, those working from home will have a small reduction in salary. If you want to work from home, it will cost you a little. There was more mumbling, but then he said that an email will be sent to employees that meet the requirements and to read it over, then you can decide. He thanked us and we all headed to our desks.
I sat at my desk and waited to see if I was one that might be able to work from home. Once I saw the email and read it, I was happy. On the down downside; I would need to take a small cut in my salary to work at home. But the upside was better. I wouldn't have to drive in each day, which saved me money. Plus my time spent on the road to and from work is gone. The idea was simple they said; if you can get your work done each day, you could have the rest of that time to yourself. I realized that for most of my projects I could get things done in a few hours each day.
After I left that day, I was setup to work at home starting tomorrow. As I drove home, my world started to shift again as I realized that if I worked at home for the next few months, I will be alone with my kids almost every day.
At dinner that night I told everyone about my new work schedule. The look from Kelly was very telling, but she was not too noticeable so that the other two didn't pick up on her smile. I knew what she was thinking about, what could happen if I was home for months. There was no way that she and Jim could have their fun without me noticing. She would not care about what I thought of her having sex at home, that was simply our new normal relationship. She could bring a guy home even if I was there and take him to her room for fun, and I wouldn't give her a bad time. However, if she was to have sex with her brother... well that's a whole different situation!
My husband wanted to talk about the loss of income, that will result from this change of my work schedule. I just shut down the discussion. His complaining about a few dollars that I will lose each week, didn't change my mind. He finally stopped his grumbling. I looked at my son and he look me in the eye, for a few minutes; then we all finished eating. Everyone helped clear the table and load the dishwasher. In a few minutes the mess was cleaned up.
As the day finished and everyone went to their chosen spots, I headed down to the basement to work out. I was thinking that now I can work out each day without a big loss of time in my day. I was working out when my son came down to play at the game station. I smiled to myself as I thought about what I learned yesterday, so I was watching him as he was trying to watch me.
I left and went upstairs and was setting at the kitchen counter drinking my water when my daughter sat down next to me. She looked at me and her smile broken into a giggle. I started to giggle right along with her! I know what she was thinking and I couldn't stop laughing. I hoped that my husband didn't come in to find out what I was laughing about. Finally, we stopped long enough for us to get our breath back.
She then surprised me with her observations.
"Mom, about dad. I saw you shut him down tonight, in a firm way. You were not unkind but you were strong. I hope that you realize that the strong attitude you have has rubbed off on me as I've grown up. I know that you don't normally put your foot down about things in our family but at times you show me what a good marriage is like. It's one where two people share a life, but one doesn't own the other. I also know that when dad wants something you will often stay quiet and let him have his way."
I nodded at her comment.
She then said "What if you applied that same idea to your sex life? What if you told him that you wanted to enjoy sex more and if he didn't agree then you might find someone that could fulfill your needs?"
At that my mouth was hanging open! How in the word would I get something like that across to my husband of 20 years?
Then she said "What if you made it like a competition. One that he would have to compete against, like an unknown lover you have. A lover that is part real and part imaginary. Dad's competitive at times and if you gave him an incentive, then he would have something to work towards."
This girl of mine is smart! I could see different ideas forming in my mind. I was thinking of some sexual things, that he had asked me to do with him in that past, that I had turned him down. Maybe I could put some of them back on the table, as a way to incentivize him.
She saw that I was thinking of things and she pushed a little deeper "What if you have sex with Jim during the day and tease dad with that at night? He doesn't need to know that you have amazing sex with his son while he is at work! You can just build up this factitious lover and see if he gets competitive."
I could see that as a real possibility. But how would I get the ball rolling was the big question!
