Thread: the tangled webs we weave | methos/crazy

Naturally Randal had not been able to go to visit her parents. Partially because he had no special fondness for her parents and had looked for a convenient excuse not to go and that he deemed himself entirely indispensable at his office they simply could not do without him. At least that was the conceit that he allowed himself to cherish. Of late hed brought in and worked upon their largest files, his own patrician upbringing left him in easy company with the executives looking to find ways to sell their products. If there was one thing he did well it was sell, sell, sell. Of course some time away from his family hadnt been such a bad thing. He was terribly fond of his wife, and his children were his blood but hed always been rather easily bored. A week to himself had been rather pleasant. Hed barely been home for much of the week, hed wander into bed late in the evening and ensure his suits were pressed by the housekeeper in the morning but he hadnt had any shortage of things to do. Although it hadnt exactly been the housekeeper who had taken care of him, hed made other arrangements. The week had passed him by rather swiftly, and hed certainly enjoyed him. However, the week was evidently over as he managed to finally stifle Caseys rather constant chatter. Naturally he grinned as his rather talkative colleague was replaced by Charlie his secretary. She naturally was a site his eyes were far more ready to linger on. A week had almost not been enough but hed had her bent over, laid across and knelt beneath his desk not to mention the various pieces of furniture in her apartment. The girl was clever enough to lean in and inform him that his wife was present before he did something that might be difficult to explain like grope her. The curve of her bottom did seem to beg for his attention, however, he simply nodded and smiled and allowed her to fuss with his tie and collar as she reminded him when he had various meetings scheduled today. His smile always had a ready and easy charm to it, that seemed to have a profoundly disarming effect upon women something hed learned long ago to exploit rather ruthlessly. Only a few moments after his secretary returned to her desk beyond, he found his wife in front of him. He flashed her a grin and as she slipped forwards to embrace him, his own rather strong arms slipped about her waist and hed lift her just off her feet. I missed you too darling. He remarked and inquired How are your parents? They must have been happy to see the kids? Although he really did like those shortbread cookies, strangely his wife never managed to make them as well as her mother did. Ahh she remembered that I like her cookies. He chuckled softly and winked Ill pretend they were for the kids and then try not to eat all of them. But it sounds like you all had fun. Too bad the weather wasnt a bit nicer, but thats one of those things you can never really control hmm? He leaned in and kissed her lightly upon the lips. He noticed her head turning to look through the doorway of his office as evidently shed caught Charlie spying on them. A drink of course, I dont think I have anything that immediate and I always have time for my lovely bride. Evidently his secretary chimed in that he indeed did have time to speak with her. Which he doubted was really what his wife had wanted so form of permission to see her husband from another woman. His wife did tend to get rather touchy about such things. Since his wife wanted to have a drink with him he walked over to the liquor cabinet himself. He produced a glass and a couple ice cubes then poured himself some scotch. He took a sip of it and then rather awaited to see exactly was on Irenes mind. The hand on hip was a sure sign that an interrogation was to follow. Although as she suggested that he seemed overly familiar with his secretary and that she didnt like how shed been fussing with his tie and lapels. He simply stepped towards Irene and then kissed her lightly as he remarked You are terribly cute when youre jealous. He took another sip of scotch and thereafter idly remarked. You arent interrupting anything, Ive an appointment in twenty minutes to go over an ad campaign with representatives from a brewery, and around five I need to meet with some fellows from the airline. He idly noted After all Im not going to be able to build you a big house, so there is lots of room for the kids if I dont get a lot of ads going. He chuckled softly What youre worried about her fiddling with my tie? He glanced over his shoulder towards where Charlie sat and noted Ah you dont understand Irene secretaries act like the lot of us would be lost children without them. Entirely certain that we couldnt possibly get by without their assistance, whether its getting our letters and proposals done or having our ties properly in place. He rather teasingly noted I dont think there is anything you need to worry about you just think shes pretty.
