Hello, my name is Lawrence Moore, and before I ended up here, where I'm now ...
----
-- PART 1 : INTRODUCTION
----
... I was a 34 years old employee at a financial service provider.
I had my own office, the payment was good, and everything in my life seemed to be going well - except for the fact that I had not yet managed to find a spouse, nor even a candidate for a spouse.
It was, what seemed like , a regular day at work , when I was sitting at my desk, and the door to my office opened.
The person who entered my room was Julia Ferran, a stunningly beautiful woman.
She was 34 years old, too, and with a shy expression on her face, she greeted me: "Hi, Mr. Moore ! Starting today, I'm gonna be your new secretary !"
Because she had once been my fellow classmate in high school, some 16 or so years ago, I welcomed her like a good old friend : "Oh hi, Julia ! Long time no see ! How the heck did you manage to end up here !?"
"Well, Lawrence, maybe you remember I got pregnant when I was only 18 ..."
"Oh yeah, I remember, you and Richard had been in such a hurry to become young parents , that you got your twins shortly after graduation."
"Yeah, and well, since I was busy enough with caring for my little ones , I had to postpone my further education ..." Julia stopped talking and looked down at the ground, silently, and maybe also bashfully.
After a few moments of silence, I said: "Hmm, don't worry, Julia, for this job here it won't matter whether you got back on track and completed your education, or not."
Julia cheered up: "Really, Lawrence ? Did you just say it won't bother you if my skills are limited to only those of a housewife ... ?"
I got up from my chair, and with a gesture I invited Julia: "Well, Julia. Maybe you still remember me from high school, and what kind of a person I am. I do not even WANT to be your superior here, in this office ..."
Julia hesitated: "But being your subordinate and your secretary was the role that was given to me by your higher-ups, Lawrence !? You know , the guys who gave me this job in the first place ?"
I just kept on pointing at my arm chair: "Come on over here, Julia, and let's swap our roles. I'd love you to be my boss from now on . You know how subm ..."
Julia interrupted me: "Yeah, I remember how submissive you were already back then, 16 years ago - from our little 'adventures' we had - before I met Richard and became engaged with HIM ..."
I sighed: "I know it happened many years ago, but until now I've kept on wondering why the heck you chose a thug like Richard over me ..."
"Well, ..." Julia hesitated to answer .
I took the chance to ask: "Are the two of you still together, or-"
"No !" Julia replied. "Richard and I broke up 7 years ago; he'd found a younger flame to whom he felt more attracted than to me.
And that's why I was left behind alone , with the two kids, and I was responsible for nurturing them and bringing them up on my own."
I sighed: "Oh, sorry, I had no idea. I suppose you must've had such a hard time ..."
Julia nodded: "Yeah, and finding jobs wasn't easy , either. It happened frequently that I lost my jobs after only a few months."
I wondered: "Why was that so ?"
Julia sighed: "I wasn't flexible enough to work overtime, because , after all , I was also a single parent who needed to care and cook for Lucy and Nadine."
I wallowed in memories: " Oh yes , Lucy and Nadine ! They are your twin daughters , right ? I saw them just once, when they were only babies -
yeah, that must've been 16 years ago. Oh , and they were so CUTE ..."
Julia smiled, walked up to my arm chair , and sat down - like a boss !
"Well then, Lawrence, remember it was you who suggested this role swap. Since I know nothing about your job here, maybe you wanna tell me what sort of a task I'm supposed to delegate to you - my 'subordinate' Lawrence ?"
I bowed down before Julia like a page at court: "Your majesty Julia ! From now on, let me assure you that I'll gladly fulfill your every wish !"
The last time Julia had seen me bowing before her like that, had been 16 years ago , when both of us had been classmates at that same high school.
This had the effect, that Julia suddenly got overwhelmed by her emotions, tears began to form in her eyes ,
because many positive memories of those exciting 'games' she and I had played back then flooded back into her mind.
Almost weeping, she got up from the chair, she stretched out her arm and put her hand on my shoulder :
"Oh my, Lawrence ? Do you have any idea how much I'd love to replay some of those crazy 'tie-up games' we had played ?"
"Hmm, Julia, just in case you were referring to one of 'those kinky' tie-up games we had come up with , ..." I nodded, and I looked into her eyes .
Both Julia and I kept on staring at each other silently , with flirting expressions on our faces, and we wondered whether we were just thinking about the same thing ..."
Eventually, our mutual silence was broken by the ringtone of Julia's cellphone.
