I’m working through the schematics for the new Haswell Offices, checking for any pitfalls, c**k-ups and booby-traps before actual work starts.
The weather’s hot, despite the lateness of the year. I gulp water, trying to cool down a little….
My back pocket vibrates…. my mobile….
Damn!
Just when I didn’t want to be disturbed….
I glance at the screen. Perhaps it’s someone I can ignore.
Fuck….!
It’s Charlotte.
I swallow, then trying to keep my voice level, casual….
“Charlotte! How lovely to hear from you. How are you?”
“I’m fine, Master. How are you?” She sounds good; really good.
reallyAnd she called me Master….
“All the better for hearing from you. What can I do for my favourite ex-virgin?”
“Well, I’m taking a few days off and I was wondering… are you and Michael free this weekend?”
For you Green-Eyes. For you….
I pause, trying to collect my thoughts.
What does she want to come for?
What does she want to come ?My mouth is dry, and I take another gulp of water….
“I am certainly free for you, Charlotte. And I don’t doubt that Michael will make himself available. For the avoidance of doubt, can I ask why?”
Her voice is cheerful and relaxed. “I’d just like to spend some time with you again.”
What does she mean…?
Don’t presume….
“Just time, or for…. more? Don’t misunderstand. I just want to be sure that I am not making any assumptions.”
“Oh, I’d like us all to have some fun together, Master.”
Oh, Jade….
“Alright, Charlotte. So how would you like to spend the weekend? Just with me and Michael or.…”
Down the rabbit hole again…?
“I’d like to spend time with the two of you, Master, but I’ll admit, I’d like to play some games as well. That night you took me to the club; that was so exciting.”
“I’ll see what we can do.”
“Can you pick me up from the train station?”
“Of course I can.”
