It had been four months since our hot adventure - when my twin sister Toni and I had enjoyed our first sexual experience together - and things were pretty much back to normal. We rarely talked of that early summer day, busy as we were with the school year starting up again. For those who might not remember the more mundane details of that last story I shared, Toni teaches music and I teach art at the local high school.
It was October now, and there had been a cloud over the school ever since the principal's announcement at the last faculty meeting that the school board had asked him to propose budget cuts for the upcoming year. Everyone was worried that their job might be cut, and it was really hurting morale. But our principal - Mr. Davidson - was a good, hard-working man, and rather than just turn in his own proposal for cuts behind our backs, he had formed a committee to come up with several ideas for discussion. Since I had a lot of respect for him, and of course an interest in the success of our school and students, I volunteered to join the committee.
From the very first meeting, it became abundantly clear that the arts would be the first place most people would suggest cuts. Everyone agreed that the basics - math, history, etc. - had to be maintained. And there was always huge support for sports. But my position, that music and art education was vital for our students, seemed to fall on deaf ears. Those colleagues who did listen to me just thought I was trying to keep my own job. After most of these meetings, I ended up at my sister Toni's apartment, where she let me vent, assured me that she supported me, and kept my wine glass full as we talked late into the night.
One such evening, when I'm sure we had both had a little too much to drink, Toni suddenly said, "I wonder if Mr. Davidson would be interested in hearing about what we did this summer?"
"Huh?" was the only response I could muster, not sure where she was going with this.
"Well, I'm just thinking, if you can't win over the committee, maybe we should both go directly to the top, and use everything at our disposal to argue our case with him."
"Are you suggesting what I think you're suggesting, that we seduce our boss?"
"What if I am?"
"I don't think I could go through with that - it could cost us both our jobs!!"
"Hmm. Well, what if we make a first move, one which isn't too bold, and see if he wants to take it from there?"
We spent the rest of the evening developing our plan - again, one that could only have arisen after a few too many glasses of wine. We stripped down to our underwear and took turns snapping pictures of each other in sexy poses, breaking down in hysterical laughter every few minutes - see, even though we had the looks to pull it off, neither of us had ever imagined modeling. Eventually, we figured out how to use the remote feature on Toni's digital camera, and set it up to take pictures of both of us. The plan was a pretty basic one - I would make an appointment with Mr. Davidson to discuss a few questions about the budget process. I would pretend to accidentally drop my folder full of budget files, and out would spill a couple of suggestive photos of Toni and I. If he wasn't interested, I could just laugh it off. But if he was...
With only a minor hangover the next morning, I called the secretary and made an appointment for just after the last period of the day. At lunch, I printed out a few of the sexy photos Toni and I had taken the night before and slipped them into my budget folder. Then, just before going back into my classroom, I left Toni a message on her cell, asking her to head straight home after school, just in case he was interested in getting down to business.
