Re: In praise of Emily

Here is the gist of a phone between James and I. It seemed a good idea to ring after dropping off Mags at her place. Comment if you wish, but this is how things were. I was probably charged up by my day too.

‘How did it go man? Was it as horny as you thought it might be?’

Hi Jezz, well it was…it was.’

‘Take me through the action then…’

‘Well, well er Duncan came by around 7 pm. I’d been helping Emily get ready, and she looked well…devastating. She chose a red dress. It showed all her figure…’

‘That;’s neat…but remember man, you refer to Emily as your mistress. You might think of her as Em, but you will always refer to her deferentially with me and others.’

‘Oh..sorry’

‘That’s OK my friend. So give me the gossip. How did it go, that encounter with Mr Exec.’

‘Well it was awkward’

‘Bound to be my friend, it was bound to be.’

‘He rang the door bell and my mistress answered. She was so excited, you could tell. But she was nervous too.’

‘Go on’

‘Well he kissed her, but you could see that his hackles were up, he was definitely on edge. He was looking around the room and clocking me. He stared across at me and I sensed that he was about to say something nasty. ‘

‘He might have hit you, but you didn’t resist did you. You did what I say is good in these situations.’

‘Yes..yes, I looked down at the floor. I concentrated on my mistress’s shoes as you suggest.’

‘These are difficult moments James, but you did fine. You know a guy like Duncan is geared to fight if necessary. You’re not are you, its not in your nature. Remember what I said about stags. They eyeball and if you submit nice as pie, then there is no need to lock horns.’

‘My heart was pounding…I wasn’t comfortable’

‘Go on-he didn’t smack you after all did he. You rolled over for the guy. What happened then?’

‘My mistress told me to fetch her coat and I helped her on with that. I was closer now..I thought he would try it on with me, but my mistress kissed him again and it seemed to help.’

‘Did he come in?’

‘No…oh no, they went straight to the car.’

‘Did you follow and get the door?’

‘I followed but Duncan wouldn’t let me get the door. He did the honours and my mistress got in.’

‘Nice car I gather’

‘Very nice car, it is a big car, a dark blue. The engine growled, you know, that guttural sound some cars have.’

‘and that was that then!’

‘well my mistress rang later, she is sleeping over.’

‘That’s neat isn’t it. She must be very relaxed. You pleased?’

‘Jezz…pleaae no.’

‘You pleased man?’

‘Yes sir…I am. I was anxious that she would be uncomfortable.’

‘I’m sure she’s not James. You sleep well now, goodnight.’
