“I paid him in cash for two nights. I did not intend to spend the next day looking for another motel. I intended to spend it studying the hard drive...data. Since it was already dark, I did not intend to spend the night reading the information summary from my tiny Dell combo laptop and pad. I decided to put the chore off until after breakfast on Monday morning. Monday just seemed like a better time to begin work.Sunday night I chose to lay on the bed and watch my Dell struggle through a movie.. One minute I'm pissed off and the next minute I'm wallowing - you must think I'm totally schizo."She sighed, then recovered. "But you know what? I feel a lot better, just talking about it. I never talk about this stuff with anyone." Suddenly, her voice sharpened again and she glared at Katherine. "You WILL keep all of this completely confidential, won't you?"Katherine merely nodded. "My lips are sealed on anything we say, including what I overheard last night."Katherine found it hard not to be. My husband was so unsuspecting; I couldn’t wait to see his reaction. After the party, as planned, Kate stayed to help clean up. She told my husband to sit on the couch and relax. While my husband sat down, Kate and I began to start our little act. She came up behind me as a leaned over to clean off the table and spanked me lightly. I turned pretending to be surprised and she grabbed my face to pull me in for a long, wet kiss. My husband cleared his throat loudly. “I’m sorry”, Kate cooed. She looked for a moment, closed the pad and tossed it onto the back seat, got into the car and started it. I thought it a good idea to get in quick before I was left here. We made it back to the office in two hours, the wheels of the car stopping just long enough for me to get out before she sped away again. Not a word was spoken the whole journey. It was a month before the boss strode up to me and said that Lacey had agreed to the outline drawing I had made of the cabin. That was the good.
