The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemicals: if there is any reaction, both are transformed ... Carl Jung
We met at a real estate law seminar in Philadelphia, which will never be confused for Hedonism II. I was the real estate development guy, she was the title attorney. I knew this immediately because we both wore those hideous name badges that adhere to your chest that these organizers always insist the participants wear. You know the kind, the "Hello, my name is...", which really should be followed by, "Will somebody just please shoot me now and end my misery."
She approached me out of the blue as I stood by myself momentarily at the event's happy hour, numbed by boredom, nursing a warm, watery beer. Her name badge stuck out a lot more prominently than my own, thanks to her ample chest. That is the one redeeming trait of those name badges, I suppose. They do allow you to stare at a woman's chest for a disproportionately long time under the auspices of gathering personal information. And, oh boy, I was gathering personal information, all righty.
Let's face it, when a woman approaches you at any social event, it can only be motivated by the desire for money or cock. At such a symposium, it is almost always because of their curiosity of your monetary status.
Not this time.
The first thing that impressed me about her (well, OK, OK, after my review of her chest, er, name badge) was her smile. Attorneys aren't exactly renowned for their gregarious and affable personalities, as a general rule, and feel free to sue me if this is an inaccurate stereotype. She never stopped smiling. Hmmm, why?
That made me nervous.
A beautiful, smiling, female attorney, flirting with me? I started to look around for Ashton Kutcher and the "Punk'd" cameras.
Kate Clement was her name, and her job was to round up business for her firm, and I had not the slightest doubt that although she was unquestionably intelligent, a law firm did not give this particular responsibility of new business development to seventy-year-old lawyers named Henry.
I'll break down a description of her for you readers by age group. If you're fifty or older, think Ali McGraw in Love Story. If you're between thirty and fifty, picture a more voluptuous Angie Harmon. For you children of the 1980's, Jordana Brewster could be her twin.
Got the visual?
Except Kate had this impossibly sexy wisp of a silver streak of hair amidst all the other raven locks that she kept tucking behind her right ear as she tossed her head back in laughter.
Ashton, knock it off, pal. I'm hip. No way this woman should be flirting with me.
I told her that I was a native Philadelphia boy myself, and had moved to DC about a decade ago after my own divorce. We discovered that her brother actually went to my high school, which is a game unique and indigenous to Philadelphians, sort of equivalent to the "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon". You start off by finding out what neighborhood someone is from, which leads into which high school you attended, and next thing you know, you find out you have about a dozen friends in common. Trust me, there's no other big city quite like Philly, it's how we communicate and decipher social status and heritage. For those of you who understand, no further explanation is possible. For those who don't, no explanation will suffice.
Kate was a 'Main Liner' originally, which meant she came from old money. So, that also meant that she had the timeless, classic beauty that was handed down from generations of good, wealthy genes. Kate also did about ninety-five percent of the talking, and considering that she was an attorney, a sales representative, and a woman, I figured this was just about par for the course.
There was good news and bad news to her diatribe. The bad news was she was married to an airline pilot. The good news was, with each rum and coke she consumed, she became a little more vocal in her candor that she was less than enthralled with her matrimonial situation.
Another truism, students, take notes. When a woman whom you met less than an hour ago starts to tell you she's in an unhappy marriage, she's already qualifying you in her own mind as a potential paramour. This is neither a sexist theory nor a delusional hypothesis. I guarantee you that Adam became tempted to Eve only when Eve started bashing her ex. ( "The bastard's abusive, he drinks, he gambles, and all he does is sit around on weekends with that prick the snake and watch football while I have to schlep the kids to every soccer tournament in the county.")
Some of Kate's cronies from her firm eventually came over and tried to whisk her way from our conversation with an invite to a private party on the convention center floor, some seven floors below where Kate and I now stood. Kate happily invited me, but the legal beagles went through the charade of acting remorseful that this party was restricted to those with private invitations. Thus in so many unspoken words, they were telling me to fuck off.
However, I was preparing to leave anyway, since I had a Amtrak ticket for the train back to Union Station in DC. I accompanied Kate and her throng to the elevator, and we all crammed into the small cab. I was pressed into the back wall, and the overflow crowd in the elevator forced Kate back into me.
It was not by coincidence that Kate began to slowly, almost imperceptibly, grind her backside into my crotch. Naturally, this evoked a Pavlovian involuntary response of tenting in my suit pants, which happened to hold, in all humility and no exaggeration, a seven and half inch slab of real personal property, as they might say at a real estate seminar. Her actions went completely unnoticed by the inebriated crowd, and I took the opportunity to tender my own tease with a twitching of the stiffening muscles within my shaft, causing my spontaneous salute to slide between the crack of Kate's ass cheeks, covered by pair of fashionable black cotton slacks.
