The Project (Closed)

[NewGame8]

"I am pretty certain that I will be up long before 11, so, that will not be a problem. I am not big on breakfast, never have been, but I would love to have a cup of coffee with you while you eat your breakfast. Once again, I cannot thank you enough for your generosity. Sleep well Maggie. Goodnight."

He watched her walk to her bedroom. What an incredible view she was as she walked away. She was perfect in every way. He read a couple more articles and then moved to the sofa. He looked through an international section and read about what was going on in Asia. He had always had success in the Asian markets, and it was because he stayed up to date on what was going on there.

Michael laid down on the sofa and it was not long before he was sound asleep. It had been a long time since he had the opportunity to sleep on something this comfortable. He had weird dreams all night.... some of them involved being beaten up on the street.... others were of him being laughed at by a group of people... then there was one of Maggie waking him up and throwing him out of her place because he had chosen to sleep on the sofa and not in one of the bedrooms. All in all though it was the best night sleep he had in a long, long time.

 

[Mayu]

Maggie smiled at him bidding him a goodnight as well, she went right to sleep the minute her head hit the pillow. She was at peace, something she had not felt in many years. She had no dreams which was nice, she rather have no dreams then nightmares. All in all however everything was really good, the warmth of her room made her feel snug and it was really a great time to be under the same roof as a really sweet guy. She slowly started to wake up around five in the morning, she never needed much sleep.

Getting up she grabbed her black bathrobe that kept her nice and warm, and went out in the living room. She smiled seeing Michael there fast asleep, he looked so peaceful. She made sure to be quite and grabbing a throw from her chair she very carefully covered him up, she began to make some coffee to have for both of them. She grabbed an apple out of the refrigerator and sat down in the chair not wanting to wake him up. Such a peaceful way he looked, tilting her head to the side a bit.

She did not sit very long maybe just a couple of minutes, she walked over to the window and saw the sun slowly coming up. She smiled she always loved to see the sun rise it was always beautiful, even more so in the winter. Sighing a little bit she began to wonder what the day would bring for the two of them. She had a feeling those who worked for her would have a cow about Michael, but Maggie on the other hand could care less. They worked for her not the other way around, she was going to help him as much as she could.

 

[NewGame8]

Michael was awakened by the smell of fresh coffee brewing. It smelled so good. It had been a long time since he had fresh brewed coffee. He opened his eyes and saw Maggie standing at the window looking out at the city. The outline of her body was accentuated by the rising sun shining through the window. It was a fantastic view.

Michael once again thought about how lucky he was. In fact, he could not believe just how lucky he was. That was an understatement. He was plucked randomly off the street by a beautiful, extremely wealthy young woman. If those punks hadn't decided to kick his ass the previous day he wouldn't be here tight now. He wouldn't be in the warm apartment of the beautiful figure standing in front of him.

He stood up and walked over to the window. "Good morning Maggie. What a beautiful sunrise. You are so lucky to have this view. It must be great to wake up to this every morning." He smiled at Maggie then looked back out over the snow-covered city. While standing there he began to wonder what the day was going to bring. He was getting curious about what Maggie had in store for him. "So, are you up this early every morning?

 

[Mayu]

Maggie did not notch Michael starting to wake up, she was just enjoying the sights. One of those days where she got up early, to enjoy the sun rises. Rubbing the back of her neck as she silently sighed a bit. Humming lowly to herself, her hand against the window, wishing she could fly. To fly over the city seeing this beauty, made her rather happy. All in all Michael made her happy, letting her take care of him. Brushing her fingers in her black hair as she yawned a little bit, enjoying every thing about this morning.

But then she heard Michael and heard his question "Just woke up, my body never has needed much sleep to function. Which is a very good thing, and yeah this view is beautiful. Sometimes I watch the sun rise and sun set here. Since my place is in a very good spot, which is another reason why I have never moved. Places like these are nothing more then a dream for 99 percent of people. Since really this place is to expensive, but never would have the heart to move. Unless of course the view was better"

 

[NewGame8]

Michael reveled in his closeness to Maggie. It had been a long time since he had been with a woman. To be this close to a beautiful and sexy woman was another part of the dream that he still couldn't fathom.... this was, after all, a dream... wasn't it? It had to be. The sweet smell emanating from Maggie made him realize that it wasn't a dream... it was reality... a crazy, lucky reality.

"I don't blame you for hanging onto this place. It is incredible. If I were you I would spend all of the sunrises and sunsets standing right here.... admiring the beauty." In another lifetime he may have flirted with the beautiful woman next to him and said something about how fortunate he was to look out at the beautiful sunrise with a beautiful woman, but that would be totally inappropriate in this situation.

"So, Boss Lady, what do you have on the agenda today? What time will the day start? I am ready for anything and everything that you want me to do." He called her Boss Lady in an attempt at some humor. He was determined and anxious to get started. It felt good to have a day of work to look forward to. He couldn't wait to get started and he was pretty sure that was evident from the look on his face and the way that he kept talking about work.

 

[Mayu]

Maggie smiled at Michael hearing what he said and looked back out trying to think of where to go from here, a softness seen in her. But when you looked into Maggie's eyes it was easy to see the sadness in them. She may always have a smile, but she was not the kind of girl that did not suffer from loneliness. She was just worried about what was to come, she had a feeling this could cause a problem but that was why she would have a staff meeting. Placing her hands on her hips and silently sighed.

But then he called her boss lady and that actually made her laugh. She motioned for him to follow as she took out her bag and took out some papers. It was just three really and brushing her fingers through her hair and sighed a bit. She would insist on him to read them before signing because she knew sometimes with some companies that they pretty much have the worker sign there soul away and that they do not know it. But Maggie was very honest about every little thing she did.

"Okay first I need you to read these three pages and if you agree to sign your name. This first one is more legal then anything, just says that you are hired by me that you will be my assistant. Which don't worry you will have plenty to do and not worry about a thing. The second page is for benefits, I want to start you on health insurance for you. So you can see a doctor when ever you need to for what ever reason. And the third page here shows that you will be on my pay role and I have found ways for you to re-pay me even on a pay roll" She said and gave him a pen sitting back.

 

[NewGame8]

Michael read slowly through the pages. Although he trusted Maggie, he was not willing to take any chances that he would get burned... not that he had anything to lose, but you never know. He read the job description, which was pretty broad, but it didn't bother him. He read about the benefits and was shocked that he was about to have health care when yesterday he had nothing.

Then he read about the pay. He was shocked at all of this. He looked over at Maggie, took the pen, and as he sighed, he said, "Well it doesn't say anything in here about being your sex slave, so I guess I will sign."

He laughed and signed the paper. He wasn't sure if he had gone too far. He thought that maybe he had. He was taking a chance of biting off the hand that was feeding him. "I am sorry Maggie. That comment was more than inappropriate. I should not have said that. I am just totally shocked with how fortunate I am to have someone like you offering me this incredible opportunity.... I really am sorry for saying something so stupid." He looked down at the papers that he had signed and hoped that she didn't pick them up and tear them into shreds.

 

[Mayu]

Maggie watched him reading over the documents and she heard what he said, she could not believe what he said. But she actually thought that was pretty funny, which is rather nice to be able to laugh and be herself around people. Michael was a rather unique guy and knew that this was going to be a nice partnership, though all in all he would be her companion since she needed a friend more then most. Brushing a strand of hair out of her eyes, and as he signed his name she took the papers and smiled.

"Don't worry about it Michael I like jokes especially dirty ones, I should have put in very small print that you are to be my slave. " She said with a serious tone and serious look on her face, but then she cracked herself up and laughed. Getting up she put the papers in her bag and sat down looking at him. "having you around will be nice, no longer alone. Well least till now, something tells me you would probably want your own place" She said and placed her hand on his squeezing it in a friendly smile.

"My home is your home as long as you want it"

 

[NewGame8]

He was pleased at her response. He thought for a second... being her sex slave wouldn't be such a bad thing. The thought of that aroused some feelings in Michael that had not been aroused in a long time. He quickly stopped thinking about that... as hard as it was to do so.

Maggie mentioned friendship and companion and he was excited to hear that he wasn't just going to be her flunkie.... despite the fact that he would have been perfectly fine doing even the most menial of tasks for Maggie. It wouldn't matter what he was doing as long as he was "earning" what he was getting.

"I appreciate you offering me the opportunity to stay here with you Maggie. I will get out of your way as soon as I am able. I am not sure that many people are looking to rent to someone who has been living on the streets, but as soon as I have some time in and have established myself with your corporation I will get out of your way. In the meantime I do not expect you to order food for me every time you order for yourself. I am going to make myself self-sufficient. You have done more than enough for me already."

 

[Mayu]

Maggie was glad as he seemed to relax and it was rather good to see, but then the way he spoke it was like he thought she was in the way. Which was not it at all, she wanted him to stay with her. Perhaps once he feels like he isn't just another mouth to feed, then he would stay with her. Her place was big enough and did not care what others would think, he was a new man today and starting today he will be a man to look up at not down. Though she always thought no one should be looking down at people.

"Your not in the way, it will be nice to see your smiling face every day. So no you are not putting me out and your not a pain to me and never will be. So just try and relax, I have a feeling it will probably take you a bit to get use to your new surroundings. So I will enjoy helping you if you need it. Just try and relax and continue to keep being yourself, because I like the man that you are. And that is important to be able to enjoy the simple things in life, and I have sent a memo out to respect your authority"

 

[NewGame8]

Michael was happy to hear that she was expecting that he would be staying around and that she was not in a hurry to get him out of her place. He had no problem staying in a place with a beautiful, sexy woman who was extremely easy on the eyes. He was shocked to hear that Maggie had sent out a memo to respect his authority. He wasn't sure what authority he was going to have, but it felt good to have a little control.

"So, Maggie, are you working at the office today, or are you going to work from here? I need to know that in order to decide whether I need to get into the shower soon, or if there is no hurry. If I am going to be your assistant I will need to know what you are planning for the day and I will need to have access to your calendar so that I can make sure that you are where you need to be."

 

[Mayu]

Maggie saw the happy look on him and it was rather nice to see that, brushing a piece of hair from her eyes as she sat back enjoying things. But also knew much had to be done today, everything would be fun actually. Sometimes her job could be fun, it just depended on her mood and the mood of her employees. All in all everything just seemed rather nice, and looked at him. But she heard what he asked her and smiled a bit. She knew she had some things at her office to do and was contented.

"Well today we will go into the office, I want to show you around my place. You will have an office beside my own, and you will be there boss as well. But we will be leaving at eleven this morning, you should have some fun though" Maggie said with a chuckle to her. And sighing a bit she looked at the time. "Well I best hop in the shower myself, thank god this place has two complete bathrooms" She said with a happy tone and got up to go into the bathroom that is in her room. Turning it on to get warm.

 

[NewGame8]

He saw Maggie go off to the shower and he smiled thinking of her in there. Then he got up and headed toward his own shower. Wow.. his own shower. It had been a long time since he had been able to say that. He started the shower and then undressed. He got a towel out of the closet and then stepped into the shower.

It flt so good to be in the shower. despite the fact that he had been in the shower not that long ago, he reveled in the hot water beating over his body. He closed his eyes and thought about how lucky he was. Then he thought about Maggie in the shower. He imagined what her body looked like. He felt himself getting aroused as he thought of Maggie soaping her body. Michael quickly tried to put the image out of his mind. He needed to get showered and dressed and ready for his first day at his new job.

He got out of the shower and toweled off. Michael suddenly realized that he really did not have clothes that were appropriate for work. He put back on the jeans he had put on the night before. He found a dress shirt in the closet that fit loosely. He would have to make that do for the time being, unless Maggie had other plans.

 

[Mayu]

Maggie had been oblivious to the problem that he had, she had forgotten he did not have clothing to wear. As she soaped up her body she was rather happy about everything, looking around a bit and turned off the water and got out of the shower. Yawning a bit as she went naked into her room a towel around her head to dry her hair, smiling a little bit as she rubbed the back of her neck and looked at what she was going to wear. Humming a little bit as she got into a pair of black pants and a white shirt.

She was a simple girl and wanted the best for her newly found friend, so getting out she smiled at him. "Just realized about the clothing situation, don't worry about it. Since we will only be in the office two hours, we can go cloths shopping when we are done at one" She offered and brushed out her hair helping it to dry much faster, smiling a bit as she sat down knowing they did not have to leave for another thirty minutes. It was heaven to be where she was, and hoped that he would be more then content.

 

[NewGame8]

Michael relaxed and sat down with Maggie. "I really want to look good for you Maggie. I want to look like a professional. I don't want to reflect badly on you, because you are giving me an incredible opportunity and I am going to repay you in more than just an economic way."

He felt comfortable here. He felt comfortable with Maggie. Michael had a feeling that he was going to enjoy staying here and working for Maggie very much. He ran his hands through his hair and he let out a little sigh. He smiled as he thought about how fortunate he was. He smiled at Maggie. A tear ran down his cheek. "Thank you Maggie. Thank you for everything."

 

[Mayu]

Maggie smiled a bit and heard what Michael said and had no idea just how laid back she was, she showed people respect as long as respect was given to her. And Michael was one of thee most sweet person. And she knew that he would fit in just fine but then she saw the tear that rolled down his cheek, and was taken back by that. She stroked his cheek with a gentle touch brushing away the tear and heard him thank her for what she did for him. Silently sighing her sweet face never without a smile.

"Your welcome Michael I know you are very happy and actually grateful, you are very sweet and I am happy you let me help you. You have your pride I respect that, but I just saw you in a much different light then what others saw you as. People saw nothing but a homeless person, me I saw a highly intelligent man who needed some help but did not want to just receive the help, to earn everything" She said softly.

 

[NewGame8]

After Maggie wiped away the tear Michael walked over to the window. He was a little embarrassed that she saw the tear, but there was nothing that he could do about it now. As he looked at the window he could see the beginnings of the early morning hustle and bustle of people heading off to work. He watched all of the people moving around below.

From his vantage point they looked like ants. They were the faceless people of the city yet until Maggie had come along yesterday he wasn't even that high on the pecking order of people in the city. He had not only been faceless, he had been non-existent.

As he continued to look out the window Michael became more and more energized to do a great job for Maggie. He wanted to reward her for seeing something, although he was not sure how she did it. Perhaps she had a gift. Maybe she was just saying that she saw something in an attempt to motivate him. If that was the case, she was successful. He was motivated and was going to do a job that would make her proud. He turned to Maggie. "It feels really good being here with you. It feels like I belong here."

 

[Mayu]

Maggie could tell that he did not like that she saw his tears, but she did not care. She could see she made the right call about helping him out, watching him move to the window. She silently sighed a bit and sat back a bit. She was tied her shoes and knew it was just another day to her, but knew it was much more then that to him. And all in all she wanted to do this for him, it was not out of pity or anything. Perhaps in saving him she saved herself, she had thought about suicide a lot within the past two years.

Not that she would tell him that, least not now. She did not want him to fall from his cloud nine that he was floating on. She slowly stood up and smiled a bit more, walking up to him she placed her hand on his shoulder and smiled a little bit. All in all things happened for a reason she knew, but now she was just relaxing everything she wanted was there before her. Looking out to see what he saw she smiled a little bit. It was peaceful just watching people come and go, she silently sighed.

"Your not a faceless person you never were, just how people are, how selfish they have become it scares the hell out of me. But you have someone watching out for you, someone who wants to" She smiled at him.

 

[NewGame8]

When he turned to face Maggie she was right there.... very close to him. He had not been this close to a woman in a very long time. He looked into her eyes and could see directly into the soft spot in her heart.

He wanted to kiss her softly on the cheek to thank her, but he did not trust himself... he wasn't sure his lips would end up on her cheek. "I am very lucky that it is you that is looking out for me Maggie. There are a lot of other people that would not treat me the way that you have. My own personal angel."

 

[Mayu]

Maggie listened to what he said and smiled at him, she was honestly happy he let her do this. She knew accepting help was difficult, but she had no evil plan. She had a plan yes but it was far from evil, it was something that she wanted. But then hearing what he said she blushed a little bit, looking down she was not use to such kind words from any guy. Maggie may have an innocent body, as in never having sex. But her mind was matured beyond her years, and she honestly was very happy with this.

So leaning into him a bit she kissed his cheek "I do have a plan for you, but its not evil. I got a sense you were afraid I wanted you alone to hurt you, many people in this city and in this world may do that, but I would never hurt another like that"

 

[NewGame8]

"So, you do have a plan for me." He smiled at her after she kissed his cheek. Having her this close was hard on him, and it was all he could do to keep from grabbing her and kissing her hard on the lips.

"What exactly do you have planned for me Maggie? Now that you said that, the suspense is killing me." He looked deep into her eyes. He wanted her to share her plans with him. Michael wanted to know exactly what Maggie had in store for him.

He was pretty sure, however, that she was not going to share her plans.... not yet anyway. He had a feeling that Maggie was not going to reveal her plan until she was good and ready. She would tell him at just the right time. He had a feeling that it was going to be a good thing for him. He was confident that she would do nothing that would hurt him in any way.

 

[Mayu]

Maggie could see the way he looked at her and had a feeling something was there, but she put her guard down she wanted him to be open with her. He was a special guy and when he said the suspense was killing him, she could not help but laugh at that. Looking around as she was thinking about what was going to happen her greyish blue eyes looked into his eyes. Stroking his cheek showing he did not have to be afraid of her in any way. Silently sighing she did not know what to say but knew what she wanted.

"Well I wont say anything to you know, I want to have my plan into motion first. But let me just give you this hint, if things go well and I am sure it will. You will have a nice job working with me' was all she said and looked back out of the window, leaving herself open for him to kiss her if he wanted. She had the look in her body that everything was going to be fine, that she would not bite. But of course if something went bad, she would bite people if need be to protect certain people in the world.

 

[NewGame8]

"I know that you wouldn't do anything to hurt me Maggie. I have every confidence in you. You have done so much for me already, so, there would be no need for you to do anything to harm me. It just wouldn't make any sense at all." He continued to look into her mesmerizing eyes.

He couldn't help himself. There was something about the way she stood there... the close proximity.... everything that she had done for him..... the whole package. He leaned in and kissed her lips softly. It wasn't anything more than a thank you kiss. Well, he didn't think that it was. Her soft lips felt so good against his... his lips lingered there longer than he had anticipated. When he pulled back he said to her, "That was just a token of my thanks Maggie."

 

[Mayu]

Maggie was glad he trusted her, and had no idea why he openly trusted her. He did not know her, unless he could read her like she read him. Anything was possible she guessed, but then she noticed something about him. Looking him into his eyes, and Maggie gave him a kind smile. And she could feel his breath against her skin. It actually started to make her rather excited and that made her smile even more. Everything in her head started to just fall into place, knowing he would never hurt her.

And then it happened, feeling his lips on her own. Closing her eyes as she returned the kiss, she knew it was much more then a thank you kiss. But she nodded to him when he said it, curious if she was reading him wrong or if something else was going on. "Your welcome you deserve to be happy, so you can stay here permanently if you wanted to. Just showing you that I wont be kicking you out or anything. And you certainly are not in the way either, is nice to have you living here honestly."

 

[NewGame8]

The closeness of her body to his was getting to him. The kiss was great and the fact that she had returned it was a surprise, albeit a pleasant surprise. He listened to her as she told him again that he was welcome to stay with her and that there was no time limit attached to the offer. He continued to look into her eyes.

He moved even closer to her and he put his arm around her. His hand moved to her lower back and he pulled Maggie closer to him. He kissed her .... Harder this time. Her body pressed to his as he kissed her. His hand on her lower back held her tightly to him.

He wondered about this decision that he had made but it was too late to go back.....what was done was done. He continued with the kiss...waiting to see if Maggie pulled away.
