Maggie and Mo

"So, if I'm hearing you right," I told Maggie, "and I think I am, what you're saying is, that I should NOT have sex with my employees..."

"Yes," said Maggie, "that is what I'm saying."

I had told her about Mo, who was in town for drill last weekend. The weird, subtle, un-acted-upon attraction is still there with her.

"It's nothing serious," I said to Maggie. "I won't think about her again for another month. Then I'll want to sleep with her again."

"Well, don't," Maggie told me. "You've got plenty of women you can sleep with, and you shouldn't get involved with anyone you work with."

I knew that. It would be very stupid to have sex with Mo, and I'm a smart man. But... sometimes I get tired of being right.

"Well," I said, "bad decisions make good stories." I think I got that line from Jasmine, and it was true. Maybe I was ready to be a bit more reckless. I was also thinking of Lilith, who had, no doubt, paid some consequences for her bad decisions. But she had also had sex with seemingly everyone in her unit, without being fired, or even discovered.

"Yeah," said Maggie, "but this is your job. Besides, it would be better if SHE came on to you."

"Oh, well, she did," I said. "Two years ago." Cripes. Had it really been that long? "I told her it wouldn't work out, since I'm her boss and married and everything."

I suppose there are some bragging rights in telling about how you turned down<b> illicit </font></b>sex with a hot young woman. But, eh... it's probably not as good a story as actually HAVING the sex.

I tried to convince Mo to get a job in another unit. She needs the full time work. Plus, I would see her more often. Plus, I wouldn't be her boss anymore. She didn't want to. She said she likes working for me. Phooey.

"So you're saying I should fire her," I suggested to Maggie.

"No," she said, "no, that's not what I'm saying either."

I like teasing Maggie, and she's good at playing along.

She's right, of course. Maggie is perhaps the most sensible and pragmatic of all my friends. That may be why I was even talking about this with her. Maybe Mo is more of a temptation than I like to admit to myself. She's been in the unit well over two years, and I continue to like her, and grow more comfortable around her every month. I feel like she's a friend of mine, and I want to open up more to her - to tell her about my life. It doesn't even need to be about sex. But I know I want to have sex with her. I'm aware of that, and cautious to avoid it. So I've always drawn the line at something just shy of friendship, and it's frustrating.

At least when I see her, which is not often.

Maggie had no more suggestions, and stood firm by what she told me.

I'm good for another month, and then Mo will be back in town. I should probably arrange another date with Maggie at that point.
