I was expecting him to show up that day, we had an appointment after all, so it really was no surprise when my secretary buzzed my office to let me know she was sending him up. He was the first man I'd had an affair with. I thought things were long over between us, the last time I'd seen him, just a few weeks prior, he'd hardly even hugged me, much less shown any interest in the way things had been between us.
Today, he walked into my office, shut the door behind him, dropped his computer bag beside my desk and walked to where I was sitting tilted back in my office chair, hard at work. I looked up to smile and tell him to sit down I'd be done with what I was working on in just a moment. I never got the chance, he placed his hands on either side of my chair, leaned me back farther, nearly causing the chair to flip. I reached up and grabbed his arms, pure reflex reaction on my part, but as I touched him, I remembered why I liked holding onto his strong upper arms, I lightly dug my nails into his arms as he dropped his head and kissed me.
After a very brief moment, he stood up, walked around my desk and sat down. "Well, hello to you too," I stammered.
"Sorry, but I wanted to do that last time I saw you and didn't dare, I was sure you'd slap me, and this time, I just couldn't resist."
"Have I ever slapped you? In all the years we've known each other?"
"No, but you did tell me you didn't want to see me, or rather, you weren't interested in spending any extra-curricular time with me anymore, I figured I might get slapped for it, but didn't care."
"I wouldn't slap you, you know that." I placed my wireless keyboard back on my desk and swiveled around to give him my full attention. I grabbed the papers I needed to show him and tried to turn things back to the reason he was really here. "I wanted your advice on these, if you don't mind that is," I said as I handed them to him.
"Sure, no problem," he glanced through them briefly and put them down on my desk. "So, you say you wouldn't slap me, does that mean if I did it again you still wouldn't slap me?"
