’ Mr. Rodman handed Jan a check for $15,000 and continued speaking. ‘Here is the check for the fifty percent of the company you currently own. You...will find a copy of the contract you and Mr. Tarkington signed three years ago in the papers I just gave you. We have highlighted the pertinent parts dealing with your termination and the purchase of the remainder of your ownership interests.’ Jan sat in shock for only a moment then she pushed the papers away and turned to Todd. She knew her face was. ..by some of this stuff?", looking at her inquisitively, almost like a psychologist interviewing a patient.She giggles nervously. "Yeah!" She shifts a bit in her chair, rocking back and forth slightly. "Relax" I reassure her "It's not that weird, I mean, this sort of stuff didn't enter into my sex life either when I was your age, and I promise you it made me feel as weird as you are feeling right now." "Still though." She pauses. "I can't for the life of me figure out why I'd want to be...you. . I d-don't know about this..." Determined to hold firm, I cut her off. "Mom, you remember what Dad always used to say before he spanked me?" Before she could answer, I did. "He'd say, ' If I didn't love you so much, I wouldn't be doing this . Dad meant that, too... that's why I couldn't ever stay mad at him for long, no matter how much my butt hurt when he was finished." "I remember," she whispered. "He -- Bill used to say that to me, too." "Well, Mom," I continued, reaching out to take. As I stormed away they followed me out the pub, as I turned the corner heading for home they shouted on me to stop, I did and turned to face them, they asked why I had given them a dirty look and left, I said I hope they had a good laugh at my expense, they promised me that their company wasn't laughing at me and have not and never would tell anyone about what happened between us, it would forever remain a secret, I accepted their explanation and said thanks for keeping it between us.The 2 guys.
