I woke up and turned to see Amanda stretching out, wearing my wife's underwear. "Oh my god? Did we ..." I exclaimed.
"No," she responded, "... We didn't climax together, but you were pretty drunk, so we'll do it next time." I had just slept with my secretary - in my wife's bed! The fact that she was wearing my wife's underwear, perfume, and makeup made it even worse. At that moment the phone rang.
"Hello?" I sheepishly answered. "Oh, Samantha, I was just thinking about you!" I told her, which wasn't technically a lie. Amanda got out of the bed and picked up Samantha's bedside phone. I shot her a look, and she put her finger across her lips. There was no way for me to keep her from eavesdropping without my wife finding out!
As Amanda listened to our conversation, she was looking at pictures of my wife in the photo album that was on her dresser. Samantha explained to me that her father had passed away and that the funeral was tomorrow. She would be back in a week and wanted to let me know. After she hung up, Amanda stared at me without saying anything. Her unspoken question was too intense for me to ignore, so I began to tell her about my wife. Given that we had just slept together, my monologue went beyond the level of intimacy I expected, and within ten minutes I had told Amanda how I wasn't really in love but how Samantha's social and financial status helped me get over that.
"If you met the right woman, would you divorce her?" she asked.
"It's really hard to give up six billion dollars," I responded.
"Maybe you could have both," she said mysteriously. Before I could ask her how she intended to get me out of my prenup, she said, "Oh my god! I've got to be in the office in half an hour!!" She ran into the closet and put on one of my wife's track suits and a pair of sneakers.
"Amanda! Take another suit, I don't know if James will want to meet on short notice!" She hung up her mini outfit and grabbed an elegant grey pinstripe suit. Grabbing a purse and putting some makeup into it, she ran out the door. I thought about the events of the previous day and evening and decided to take a shower.
