Dear Mr. Boss Man,
Yes, the skirt is new. I bought it just for you. And I can’t wait for you to peel off my red heels and have your way with me.
Yes, Saturday is perfect. Ethan will be so excited. Thank you so much.
Yours,
Grasshopper.
Not ten minutes later, a response comes.
Dear Grasshopper,
Stop distracting me. I have a busy day ahead.
I will make all the arrangements. I look forward to spending time with the two of you.
Yours,
Mr. Boss Man
My heart swells at the sight of his words, and I shake my head, reminding myself to rein my emotions in.
My phone rings, and I’m quick to answer it.
“Guess what!”
It’s Claudia.
“What?” I ask, curious.
“Mr. Dark & Mysterious sent me beautiful flowers and chocolates. They arrived just this morning.”
“Really?” I say, surprised.
“He thanked me on the note,” she clarifies, “for looking after Ethan, and for giving you two the night together.”
“Wow.” I’m speechless.
“That guy is all class,” she goes on. “He’s definitely a keeper.”
I smile. “Yes, I think so too.”

Patricia and Ethanare watching SpongeBob SquarePants and laughing their heads off when I get home. I drop my briefcase, slip off my heels, and join them in the living room. SpongeBob is desperately trying to get Gary, his pet snail, to take a bath.
It’s pretty funny.
Ethan lunges at me, and we share a big hug. “Miss you so much, little buddy.”
“So how was your day?” Patricia asks.
“It was great.”More than great.“Busy.” Of course I don’t tell her about Weston calling me into his office and having his way with me on his desk again. He’d requested that I wear thigh high stockings and when he saw them, he went crazy for them. Regretfully, there was no bum biting this time.
I’m careful to pull my skirt down as I take a seat on the sofa. I don’t want Patricia to notice the laced trim on my thigh highs. She might wonder why I’m wearing such sexy stockings to work.
I stare at the screen and watch SpongeBob’s antics, but I’m not really paying attention. I’m thinking about my relationship with Weston. I’ve kind of been in denial about the whole thing, but we really are in a relationship. And I should be open about it. Most people in my life already know, Rosetta and my friends that is.
