Chapter Eight
Me
Have you ever thought of me, too?
Nikos
Jesus Christ. Didn’t you hear a word I just said? Be a good girl and tell me what's on your mind, or else I’m logging off. You’re making me feel rather uncomfortable.
Me
I just want to say that I’m not as innocent as you may think, Nikos. Maybe I want to indulge myself. That’s what I wanted to talk to you about. Maybe I want to go a little crazy for a change. Would you be surprised if I told you I think of you inappropriately?
Nikos
I’m not doing this with you. Okay? Not with you. I won’t be that guy that comes between you and your husband. He greets me by my name every time he drops by to bring you something. Not to mention he’s practically drooling every time he mentions your name.
Me
What if I told you that Tom wouldn’t mind? Would that make you feel more comfortable?
Nikos
Maybe. But I find it hard to believe your husband would be on board. You’re practically Mrs. Prim and Proper, Lisa, and he looks like a man you don’t want to mess with.
Me
Trust me, you don’t. But this is different. Plus, I didn't know that’s how you thought of me. Should I be insulted?
Nikos
You should be flattered, sweetie. You're the definition of what a lady should be like in my mind. He chose wisely.
Me
What makes you think it was my husband who made the choice?
Nikos
Well, maybe he didn't. The result is the same. This is still wrong.
Me
Wrong can be so right sometimes, Nikos. Don’t you think?
Nikos
And you're not making it any easier for me, honey, are you?
Me
No. I want you to indulge me, boss. Please hear me out. I’ve always played by the rules and I’m tired of it. I talked to Tom about it and we agreed to invite you over to join us.
Nikos
Are you suggesting what I think you are, Lisa?
Me
Yes, I am. Tom and I would like you to join us in bed.
Nikos
Wow. Talk about a shocker, Lisa. I never expected to be talking about something like this with you. Suppose for argument’s sake that I’m in. What happens next?
Me
We just chat. For now.
Nikos
What then? After the chat?
Me
You think about my proposition and if you agree we meet. And then we fuck.
Nikos
Well, shit, sweetie. You don't waste any time, do you?
Me
No. I’ve been thinking about this for a while now. I can’t get you off my mind, Nikos.
Nikos
So why are you doing this now?
Me
Would you prefer it if we had this conversation at work?
Nikos
Christ. No. I guess…
Me
Stop guessing. I told you what I want, Nikos. I want to play. Consider it my birthday wish. Will you play along with me?
Nikos
You’d better be telling me the truth about your husband being okay with this, or else…
Me
Or else? What? You’d want to punish me, Nikos?
Nikos
Yes. I might. Can I call you? Are you alone tonight?
Me
No, I’m not. Tom worked the morning shift today, he’s out like a light beside me. Will you play along, Nikos? I want to hear you say it.
Nikos
Alright. You got me. I’ll play your little game, Lisa. Hell, what man wouldn’t?
Me
This wasn’t a random choice, I made, you know. I think you want this just as much as I do, Nikos. I noticed the way you have been looking at me lately.
Nikos
Busted. But, even if I was mildly flirting with you, I’d never act on it unless you gave me the green light. And you aren’t exactly making it easy for me to say no, are you?
