Newton's Law of Gravity

[Honey_B]

Each object in the universe attracts each other body.

One hears of circumstances like these, interviews that seem more like first dates than anything else. It happens in my line of work. Quite regularly actually. But this was the first time it had happened to me. I replayed the interview again in my mind. Every detail. The spark of attraction had been instantaneous. No, not any doubt about that. He was exactly my type. What a shame. I needed a job, not a "whatever-he-and-I-might-turn-out-to-be-if-I-let-my-fantasies-get-away-with-me" kind of thing.

The phone rang.

"Yes, this is Julia."

The sound of his voice did funny things to my sensitive parts. I tried to ignore their panting.

"Oh, hello."

Try not to sound like you are orgasming.

"Wonderful. Yes, I remember. Tomorrow is perfect."

I simultaneously set down the phone and smacked myself on the forehead. What were you thinking! In my defense, I argued that it really was a wonderful job. A writer, incredible apartment, perfect hours. Wonderful, but dangerous.

The next morning, I opened my closet. The eternal female conundrum. How to look sexy and professional at the same time. I fingered the ring in my belly button as I considered my choices. Finally, I selected a pair of black jeans because they clung to my ass rather nicely. I added a white T-shirt and looked in the mirror. Not quite right. I tried a black halter top with tiny white polka dots. It did wonderful things for my cleavage. Ok, maybe I was going for more sexy than professional. I piled my long, curly black hair on my head and pinned it in one of those "just-tumbled-out-of-bed-and-threw-up-my-hair" looks. Black ballet flats, a touch of mascara, and lip gloss. I affected a supergirl pose, hands on my hips. I was ready.

And late!

Two bus transfers and a six-block shlep and I was standing in front of his door. I raised my hand to knock, but before I could, he opened the door.

OOC: I'm looking for someone to play Julia's new employer, a writer with an incredible apartment in New York City. This part is open to anyone, but I'd like to keep it as a two-person thread.
Julia is a part-time housekeeper, part-time physics student, full-time heavy metal enthusiast. She's twenty and has long black hair, big blue eyes, and a killer sense of humor.

I opened the door to meet the person with that incredible sexy voice I had talked to yesterday. She had answered my ad in the employment section, looking for a part time secretary/girl friday/research assistant to help me in my writing project. I returned the call she left on my voice mail, and was instantly taken with her telephone voice.

They never turn out to look like they sound, do they?

This one surpassed all the fantacies I had after talking to her. I knew she would be the one, if the chemistry was right at all and we could work out the details. The instant I saw her I knew everything would fit just fine, as I invited her in and offerred her a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. I wanted her to relax as we talked in person, and I led her over to the big bay window overlooking the city and the Hudson River, with the harbor in the background. It was a beautiful day, which got a lot more beautiful the minute she arrived and stepped in the door

OOC Im 44 years old, 6'4" 220 lb blond, blue eyes and very wealthy, having inherited a bundle from my family.

Hence I spend my time playing and writing with no need for financial rewards. and can afford this hugely expensive Apartment

 

[Honey_B]

While I pretended to look out over the gorgeous view, I studied my new boss. My toes curled in response to his deep blue gaze. Oh my! Mental fanning of my face.

"Coffee or wine? It's a bit early so I'll have coffee if you don't mind. Maybe you should show me how to make it," I said with a what I hoped would be a dazzling smile. "After all, I'll probably be getting you coffee."

It seemed like the research assistant thing to do, getting coffee for her boss. Truth be told, I didn't have a clue about what the job entailed. He had been rather vague about the details.

"I'd love to hear more about your project."

I ran my tongue over my glossed lips as if there was nothing I wanted to hear about more.

 

[Guest]

With a smile, I said "First thinhs first", as I went to the kitchen and poured from the freshly made pot. With a little pitcher of cream and the sugar bowl, I brought a tray with two filled cups back into the living room. The scene brightened with her smile as she thanked me, and we sat facing easch other across a low coffee table

"I am planning a novel, which I have outlined in my mind. Along with the interplay between the characters, there are a lot of technicaal areas that will require research to get the detrails right, so the author doesnt look totally stupid. I have always admired how novellists weave so much information into a story. As yet I cannot be completely specific about what the subjects of the research will be, but it involves such diverse things as forestry and growth of trees, bird life, and geology relating to discovery of minerals in the ground, as well as contemporary religions, about which I know very little"

She seemed to be satisfied with that brief but vague description of the work involved, but I was unable to concentrate. Looking at her. I was captivated with those bright blue eyes and that lovely face

Frank

How did hat happen? I had just logged in!

 

[Honey_B]

"I... Um..."

Apparently his voice had the power to erase my own ability to speak coherently. He had a bedroom voice, low and husky. It was difficult to get a read on him. He was obviously older, deliciously distinguished in an old-fashioned movie star way. God, his manner was impeccable. Imagine that, I finally met someone I could describe as impeccable.

Still, despite being impeccable, he hadn't told me much about what to expect from this job. From his description, it sounded like pretty dry stuff. From the chemistry threatening to explode, it seemed dynamite.

"I'm an absolute fiend when it comes to research. Once I've gotten a hold of something, I won't let it go until I've gotten what I've wanted."

Ok, that sounded like innuendo if I've ever heard it. I forced myself not to arch my eyebrow as I said it. Still, it's too bad by bird life, he wasn't talking about the birds and the bees. I wouldn't mind helping him with research on that topic. Not at all.

"So, what do you need me to do today? "

Frank

"This is a novel about a marriage that splits. The wife leaves her husband and takes the child, going to a hippie commune in the woods in the mountains to hide. The husband is looking for her of course, and as the story unfolds, it turns out that in order to support the commune, the people are involved in crime that amounts to threatening people with earthquake destruction if they dont pay "insurance" money. Several "clients" refuse and find their houses or buidings damaged by "earthquakes" that are not natural - they are caused by a huge machine that normally is used for petroleum exploration under very careful control and regulation"

"As you can see, this can get pretty technical and other than the idea which came to me from reading about new methods of looking for oil reserves, I know nothing about the lifestyle or the life in the woods or the details of the laws controlling the use of the machines. It needs a lot of background digging, and I dont want to do it all by myself"

"As long as you are willing to dive right in, why not start by telling me a little about yourself and your life and if you know anything about anything that might be related to what I have told you so far"

With that I sat back and sipped my coffee and just looked at her, awaiting an answer. What I really wanted to hear was a little about her life and background, and if she was at all interested in the possibilities for the story. At least, I hoped she either knew herself, or knew someone who could give us some background on a hippie lifestyle, which was far remote from the way I had lived until now.

 

[Honey_B]

"I'm not sure if I told you before, but I'm a physics major at Columbia. The scientific side of the research should be a breeze. Let's see what else can I tell you about myself. I've been working my way through school as a housekeeper, but I wanted a change so I answered your ad. Let's see, I'm twenty, I live for pistachio ice cream, Metallica, and my Persian."

Automatically I looked down and removed a long caramel hair from my breast.

"See, she lives for me too," I said and laughed, hoping it sounded husky.

"I consider The Feminine Mystique required reading by the human race, but then again, so is the Story of 'O'."

Great job, Julia. Mention that book title less than an hour after meeting him. Sometimes your mouth detatches from your brain. Quick, change the subject!

"Your novel sounds fascinating. It reminds me of my uncle's place in the Adirondacks, a place for free-love and sharing a deep commitment to world peace. Although these days, there's not much work on peace going on."

Did you just wink at him? Tell me you did not just wink at him!

 

[catlover]

Frank

This girl had me totally captivated. When she told me aboiut her uncle's place and mentioned free love, I was ready to ask her if she was a participant!

Her choce of books to mention was interesting too. Not my cup of tea, but interesting. My speed was Nelson DeMille, Tom Casey, Greg Iles and John Grisham among others, but I am flexible and open minded

I just wanted to know more about the free love

"Julia, tell me more about your uncle's place in the mountains. That might be a perfect setting"

 

[Honey_B]

"Actually, I haven't been there since last summer. It's wonderful, a place where you can really let your hair done. Speaking of which..."

I reached up to adjust the pins in my hair and held that pose for a couple of seconds, arms out - breasts raised. Let's see what that does to him.

"It's pretty big, spread out over several acres. I think it has a dozen cottages built by the various occupants over the years. They try to grow all their own food although that doesn't always work out. Um, they have a beautiful river that runs through the place. I used to love swimming there when I was a kid."

I paused trying to think of something else to tell him.

"You know, my description isn't really doing justice to the place. How 'bout this. I could call my uncle and we could spend a weekend there. But before you answer, I have to warn you that clothing is optional."

 

[catlover]

Frank

"what a nice idea - lets go take a look. We can start our research!"

What I really liked was the idea of the swimming and the clothing optional. She looked great and I was fantacizing about her nakd when she reached up and fiddled with her hair. I hoped she would ntake out the pins and just let it fall around her shoulders, framing that lovely face, and making those blue eyes sparkle even more.

I said "why fiddle with the pins? Please just take them out and let me see you with yiour hair down"

 

[Honey_B]

I finally did arch my bow and curved my lips into a smile. Ava Gardner would have been so proud.

"As you like."

I removed the pins and let my long black hair tumble past my shoulder to midway down my back. Don't ya just know that this is the one reason women bother with long hair.

"Is that better?"

I gave my hair a little Rita Hayworth shake. This was actually a lot of fun, talking about business but hinting at pleasure. I had to admit I enjoyed teasing him. I leaned forward and brushed my lips against his cheek. My breasts just barely graze his hand before I pulled away, all business once again.

"I'll just go call my uncle if you'll direct me to a phone."

 

[catlover]

Frank

I carerfully got up from my chair, tryinjgn desperately to hide my growing hard-on as I went over and picked up my cordless phone.

I handed it to her and stood away for a moment. watching nhger and imagining that nude body out in the sun and playing in the water and other fun and games in a clothing optional scene. It was a orld I had often thought about, but never knew quite how to enter

She dialed the number and held the phone to her ear, awaiting an answer, but looking at me with a smile on her face. Was it lewd and lascivious? I hoped so.

 

[Honey_B]

"Hello, Uncle Irving?

... Hi! It's me.

... Julia.

... Your neice.

... YOUR NEICE!

... That's right. Listen, I'll be coming up later today.

... Have someone write it down for you.

... That I'm coming.

... Today.

... Bye, Uncle Irving."

I hung up and laughed.

"You have to keep conversations short with my uncle. He has only a passing acquaintance with short-term memory. So, are we ready to rock-n-roll? The place is quite a drive, so... Whoops! I almost forgot."

I picked up the phone again and dialed.

To Frank, I said, "This won't take a minute."

Into the phone, I said, "Jen, I'm going away for the weekend.

... No! It's a job this time.

... I know that's what I said last time.

... Yes, that research thing."

I glanced at Frank with a look of pure hunger and said into the phone, "Yes, he is. Listen, would you look in on Circe while I'm gone?

... Thanks a million! Bye, luv."

"I'm ready when you are."

I hoped he noticed that I hadn't toned down my look at all.

"Julia, dont we need to pack some stuff? if it's quiute a drive we certainly dont want to drive up and back today. If we cant stay there we can at least find ourselves two hotel rooms for the night, but dont you need to pick up some things?"

"Shouldn't we take some food and goodies too9?"

 

[Honey_B]

"Sure, why not. I usually don't pack a thing when I go up there, but I suppose you would probably want to bring clothes."

No sense in telling him that I was the kind of girl who habitually carried around a toothbrush. Didn't want to give him the wrong impression. Ok, maybe I did.

"I'll tell you what. Why don't you pack a bag and I'll get us some things for the trip. I noticed a great little place a block from here where I can pick up some treats. I'll be back as soon as you can say blueberry pie."

 

[catlover]

Frank

As she said that she stood there with a shit- eating grin on her face. That cute little smrk told me she had more on her mind that a ride in the country. No clothes? no nightie? no toothbrush? No Matter! I was ready

I said "ten minutes- meet you down at the elevator lobby on the first floor"{

I grabbed a jacket and threw some things in a small bag, including a sweatshirt for her in case she might get cold. I didnt forget the condoms either, in the event she insisted on one.

Off I went to the lobby, from where we could go down two floors to the lower garage where I kept my Mercedes. It was seldom used. but perfect for a drive on a pretty day with a pretty girl

 

[Honey_B]

A corollary to Einstein's theory of relativity - Ten minutes is relative when a woman is shopping. It was probably closer to thirty when I opened the door to the lobby. I tried to look contrite as I approached Frank.

“I’m sorry I took so long, but I got a bit carried away. Hopefully, you’ll think the time was well spent when you see all the goodies I have in here.”

I held up a brand-new picnic basket, but I also had some surprises hidden in my large handbag. There had been the most fascinating boutique right next to the grocery. I was going to save those for later.

 

[catlover]

Frank

I fidgeted and waited and kept looking at mny watch, hopijg this wasnt just a dream and a ruse, and she was makinhg a fool of mr.

Id almost given up and started toward the entrance again when I saw her coming up the street, swinging a bag and wearing a big smile. I imagined her wearing nothing else when she saw me and waved and started to run toward me.

A shiver went up my spine as she approached, and together we went to the elevator just as i had planned, but we went on down to the garage together, instead of me - alone- returning to my apartment heartbroken.

We went to the car, a silver-gray 500SL, with the hard top off and the soft top up. We put the stuff in the trunk, and got in the car. As i drove to the garage entrance I asked her for directions, and she just told me to get on the Parkway headed north.

 

[Honey_B]

The cool gray leather caressed my cheek as I rested my head against the seat. I had turned, facing Frank, my legs tucked up underneath me. All the better to feast my eyes on his profile while he was driving. Ah, the romance of the highway...

Which reminded me. I leaned over and rummaged in my handbag, pulling out my CD player. God, was I glad I hadn't been listening to Metallica on the way to the interview.

"I hope you don't mind, Frank. This in one of my favorites."

I slipped the disc into the car's CD player and settled my head back onto the seat. Billie Holiday came through the speakers a minute later, her caress of a voice wondering were her lover man could be.

 

[catlover]

Frank

The sensuous music just added to the scene. She sat there wiuth her legs curled ujp, and he head back oin the headrest and her eyes closed, as she mouthed the words to the song. Julia looked so delectable. I just wanted to stop and kiss her

But, firthy the traffic was too heavy, and secondly, I wanted to hurry to our destination. The sooner we arrived, the soomer she would (hopefully) get naked and play ariound at camping as she showed me around the place

We got on the parkway and headed north. I did gaze at her periodically, and even in a minute of passion, reached over and patted her clad leg, bringing on a surprised look and a smile. She didnt slap me nor pull away. She just rested her hand on mine and caressed the back of my hand as we drove.

 

[Honey_B]

What a day! Even for me. A job had turned into a trip to the mountains. My employer had changed into someone who snuck a feel of my leg. And it wasn't one of those sexual haressment things. No, I had throw every signal I could at Frank and it was just what I wanted, to see him responding. I wondered what he would be like when he loosened up. Uncle Irving's was the perfect place to find out.

I kept up my teasing the entire trip. As the music drifted from Holiday to Ellington, I stroked the back of his hand. As we talked, I pretended to ignore the undercurrent. I moved onto grapes - feeding them to Frank one at a time, letting my fingers linger on his lips even as I brought up the status of the stock market. Next, I went back to his hand as I commented on the weather. I brushed the underside of his wrists with my nails. We were almost there.

"It's not much farther, the next exit actually."

 

[catlover]

Frank

I pulled off at the next exit. Being off the freeway and out of cruise control I had to reluctantly retreive my hand. I drove along patiently awaiting some directions, and finally asked her if we were properly on course

She told me to look for a red mailbox and turn right. Soon there it was and I asked "here?" The road was a narrow dirt track through the trees. Just the kind of place I wanted to park with her, but I kept going until she said "we're there- turn in here"

 

[Honey_B]

"We're there. Turn in."

Frank complied as if he had been expecting me to say it. The driveway was long and narrow. I popped out as soon as the car rolled to a stop, forgetting Frank for a moment. Uncle Irving was one of my favorite people and I couldn't wait to see him. On the door of the largest cabin, I found a note. Walking back to the care, I read it out loud, Gone on a vision quest with Bugs.

"Well, that's my uncle. I told him he should have had someone write down that we were coming. He could be gone for months."

I smile a bit mischievously.

"Looks like we'll have uncle's cabin to ourselves. C'mon, I'll show it to you and then we can see who else is living on the property. The last time I was here, there was an artist and her lover, two writers, and a herbologist."

I really couldn't wait to see his face either.

 

[catlover]

Frank

I hopped out of the car, and accompanied her to the door, completely curious as to what we might find. Ever since I took my hand back to drive carefully, I wished I had brought her hand to my mouth for a kiss on the back, but I couldnt very well once Id missed the opportunity

She opened the foor and stepped in, and I was right behind her
