JOHN
Another stormy day in paradise. God I love thunder. I can feel the energy of every rumble. It’s giving me the extra strength I need to get out of bed this morning. An alarm goes off on my phone. I tap my screen to the front door camera. There’s a delivery man standing there in a brown uniform. “Someone will be right with you.” I tap the intercom button on my wall. “Yes sir?” Ernie answers.
“Get the door Ernie. Have the man bring the computer to Wyatt’s office.” Ernie answers, “How do you know it’s the computer?” Why does he bother to question me? I don’t even respond to him. He’ll figure it out.
I sit in the shower thinking about last night. It’s pretty hot that Wyatt was watching me slam the shit out of that woman. My dick gets hard thinking about it. I stroke it until I cum. I see her face. Not the woman I sent home last night. Wyatt’s face. I imagine her sucking me off. The thought of her on her knees sends me. Fuck that was good.
Maybe today I can actually stomach some breakfast. I pick up a piece of toast off the tray that Ernie brought in for me. One half down and the other I put back on the tray. There’s orange juice but no water. I head to the kitchen.
“The toast was exquisite Vera.” I say knowing that she’ll never say a word. She continues to wash the dishes. I grab a bottle of water from the fridge. Ernie walks in. “Sir, you were right about the delivery. Wyatt’s computer is in her office.” I smile at him, “Did it hurt?” I ask. “Did what hurt sir?” I laugh at him, “Telling me that I was right.” He shakes his head.
I guess I’m on my own. Ernie didn’t setup the computer. It’s still in a box on the floor. I’m not good with this shit. I struggle but manage to get the monitor out of the box without dropping it. The remains of the packing materials are scattered all over the floor. “You want a hand with that?” Wyatt’s right on time.
Looking at her face brings me right back to my morning shower. “I have no idea what I’m doing.” She kneels down to pick up the trash. “Wyatt please get off your knees.” I hold my hand to help her up. She dusts herself off. “We have people for that.” The truth is that I don’t want to deal with a fucking boner in my basketball shorts. “You can’t even clean up after yourself?” She’s such a bitch.
I pick up my box cutter off the desk and cut the other package open. She grabs the keyboard and mouse. I hand her a desk organizer for her pens and sticky notes. She hooks up the computer and boots it up. I spin around on her rolling chair. “You are a giant child.” At least she’s amused by me. I stop and put my head in my hands. “Are you okay?” She asks me. “Yeah.” I get out of the chair.
The sun is starting to shine through the clouds. It’s too bright. My eyes can’t take it. I lie on the couch and cover my face with a pillow. “Did you had a little too much to drink last night?” She thinks she’s so clever. “Something like that. If you need anything else just make a note and I’ll have it ordered.”
I can hear her walking closer to me. “I’m going to start looking for a chef and a butler today. Any gender preferences or prerequisites required?” Wyatt’s wit is on point. I move the pillow from my face. “I’d like an older man with a British accent to handle me.” She rolls her eyes. “Of course you do.” I turn my head in her direction, “I trust your judgment. Just hire good people.” She reaches her hand up and places it on my forehead.
“Are you feeling okay?” She asks. I brush her hand away, “Why because I said I trust you?” Wyatt actually looks concerned, “No, you don’t look so good.” She says seriously. “Why thank you.” I joke back. “And you feel warm.” She replies. I get up from the couch. “I’m fine. Don’t worry about me. I’m gonna go for a swim. Any interest?” I change the subject knowing she’ll squirm.
Her eyes open wide. “No no! My gosh. I’ve got work to do.” She turns red. “You’re blushing.” I say to her. “Stop! I’m embarrassed.” She admits. That makes me feel better. I chuckle, “It’s all good lady. Relax. It’s okay that you liked it.” I’m trying to get a rise out of her and it seems to be working. “You have some kind of nerve Johnny. You are a pompous obnoxious and dirty man.” She shouts.
I agree with her, “And you like it.” Wyatt shakes her head, “Gross. No I do not. Not at all. Not one bit. Not even close.” She’s so defensive. She must really want some of this. “Just keep telling yourself that.” I say to her. “Nothing about this is professional.” She states her case. “I don’t believe that professionalism was in the contract you signed.” She smacks my arm, “Physical altercation wasn’t listed either.” Good observation, “Be careful what you wish for.” I raise my hand.
She points her finger at me. “Don’t you dare.” I put my hands up, “I’m just kidding. I call a truce.” I put my hand out, “Let’s shake on it.” She crosses her arms. “Shake on what?” She asks. “That we don’t beat the shit out of each other.” I say to her. “Oh I won’t make any promises, but you better keep your fucking hands off of me.” She shouts. I think my dick is getting hard again.
“If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you have the hots for me.” I say to her. Wyatt becomes livid. “Okay that’s it. I don’t care about your piece of shit contract or whoever the fuck you think you are. If you so much as even look at me the wrong way Mr. Johnny St. Fuck Face, I swear to god I will fucking castrate you.”
And just like that, my cock goes limp.
WYATTI would like nothing more than to wrap my hands around Johnny’s neck and choke him. He’d probably like that too much. I’m perusing the internet for potential chefs. My gut tells me to hire only men. I don’t want to put any women in his line of fire. The man is a walking sexual harassment case.Ernie shuffles in, “Any luck?” I click through to the next page on my screen. “Yes and no. It seems that most of these chefs are either too expensive or not available right away. I need more options.” Ernie shrugs, “Too expensive? I surely doubt that.” I look up from my desk, “He gave me a salary cap of fifty thousand.” Ernie waves his hand in the air, “That’s preposterous for an estate this size and lavish dinner parties. Please, he can afford five times that.”Maybe Ernie is right, “I’m gonna go talk to him.” Ernie encourages me, “Don’t talk honey. State your demands.” I sigh, “I’ll do my best.”Johnny’s on the phone in his office. I wait until he hangs up to knock. “Come in.” He’s sitti
JOHNThe man I see in the mirror isn’t the man I once was. Johnny St. Jacks the guitar god, no more. I sit in the shower of my newly inherited castle to think, and jerk off. The steam feels good. Nothing like blowing a load to clear my mind.I’m starting to look a little scraggly with my hair this long. Should I chop it? I pause in front of the mirror for a moment feeling a bit unsettled. I heave over the toilet and throw up. Fuck this sucks.My office setup in the center of the library. The surrounding shelves are full of first editions, and vintage books. There are a few exotic plants by the windows and six electric guitars hanging high on the walls. My beloved acoustic sits next to my desk on a stand. I miss the days of playing with my band mates.My phone rings, “Johnny St. Jacks.” Her name escapes me for a moment. I rub my beard as I listen to her tell me about her day. “So, are we still on for tonight?” I smile. “Excellent. See you then.” I walk into the corridor. There’s statue
JOHNShe rolls over and rests her naked body on mine. “You haven’t left yet?” I’m not happy to see her. “You’re a real asshole, you know that?” She steps out of the bed. “You didn’t seem to think so when I was fucking you night.” I get up, walk into my bathroom, and close the door.She follows me, tries to turn the handle. “Just leave!” I lock the door. “You fucking drove me here. I don’t even know where I am.” She won’t quit. “My driver will take you wherever you need to go.” I say through the door. “That’s real nice.” She stomps off. “I had a wonderful evening,” I mutter before I hurl into the toilet.I hear Ernie walk in. He laughs at the site of her naked and angry. I crack the bathroom door to see she’s frantically picking up her clothes. “Fuck off.” She blurts out as she whips by him.Ernie shrugs and places a tray of food down onto the table. I wince at the sight of it. “Are you alright sir?” Ernie asks. “I must have eaten something bad last night.” I sit down in my chair by th
WYATTI slam the snooze button and throw the clock onto the floor hoping it will break. Waking up never feels good anymore. I roll over and look at my framed wedding picture on my nightstand. Tim would want more for me. He wouldn’t want me to be depressed everyday. It’s been five years since I watched him die. This house is so empty without him.Deep inside I know it’s time for me to move on. Easier said than done. I’ve been looking for jobs but there’s not much out there. When I saw an ad for the house manager position out in the country, I put in an application. My interview is today. I need a change. I’ve been living alone for far too long, and this position includes room and board.My ride shows up on time. I carefully step down from my front stoop. Why am I wearing heels? I sweep a couple rolled up newspapers our of my way with my foot. The driver gets out and walks around the car to open my door for me.Just Breathe Wyatt, I tell myself. I’m far more anxious than I thought I wou
JOHNIt’s like she’s looking right through me. The intensity is almost violating. Her energy is on the ceiling. “What makes you think you’d be a good fit for running a castle? It’s a lot to handle.” She’s not the right fit.“I bet. You’ve got a groundskeeper that doesn’t speak a lick of English, a maid that doesn’t clean behind the art in the corridor. No chef, and no butler. By the looks of it, you’ve also got unpaid bills on your desk, and suitcases under your eyes. You’re in over your head.” I’m slightly surprised she picked up on that, “How do you know I don’t have a butler?”“Because your suit’s not pressed.” She quips. “Even if you were right. What makes you think you could handle it all?” I wonder. “You know what? You’re right. I can’t do this. It’s too much, you’re too much.” Her eyes widen. “Thank you for your time. I’ll see myself out.” Wyatt slings her bag over her shoulder and turns to walk out.Ernie walks in with my next interview. Another old man who looks like he could
WYATTThe country roads are quite peaceful. My mind is in a fury. How the hell am I supposed to start tomorrow? I can’t fucking pack my life up in one night. The offer was too good to refuse. But this man is going to take my sanity.My house looks like shit. I should pull the weeds along the walkway before I leave. The last thing I need is for people to think I let everything go. I guess I did just that. Fuck it. This isn’t my home anymore. It hasn’t been since Tim died.Maybe working for Mr. St. Fuck Face won’t be so terrible. It seems like a fairly decent position. I hope I don’t have to deal with him much. I’ll just hire a good butler to pamper his sorry ass.I pull some empty boxes from my pantry. The doorbell rings. Whatever they’re selling, I don’t want any. I open the door and I’m shocked to see her, “Harper! What are you doing here?” She hasn’t around in a while. “I got off early today. Figured I’d come check on you.”She stands tall in a gray pantsuit and sneakers. Her long b
WYATTTI thought only suburban housewives had brunch. What the fuck was I thinking? This is so not me. A luxury suite in a castle? Who the hell does he I think I am? The groundskeeper comes in with a cart full of my things. She carelessly unloads my boxes onto the floor. She throws my muddy suitcase. It cracks, “Thanks for that.” She shrugs me off and walks out.My new bathroom is nicer than my house was. The tub is enclosed in marble and there’s a television tucked in the alcove. Who watches TV in the bath? I hear someone knocking. “Housekeeping!” Ernie jokes. I needed that. “Hi Ernie.” I sit on the tufted bench at the end of my bed. Or is it a chaise lounge? I have no fucking clue.“Is there anything I can help you with?” Actually, “How ‘bout a stiff drink?” I beg him. “Later perhaps. There’s still an hour before brunch. Would you like the grand tour?” He’s smiling like he’s up to something. “Absolutely!” I say.He leads me downstairs through the kitchen into the garage. It looks mo
JOHNI enjoy making people feel uncomfortable. It’s one of my many hidden talents. Wyatt blushes when she’s embarrassed. It’s almost cute. I brush my long wet hair. There’s a clump stuck in the bristles. I tie half of my hair back to keep it out of my face. Tonight I’m taking my date to a concert. Jeans or leather pants? I pull on a pair of ripped up denim nut huggers. “My ass looks great in these.” The mirror doesn’t lie.Ernie walks in, “Could they be any tighter?” I furrow my brow at him. “What do you want?” Isn’t he supposed to be cleaning or something? “I thought I would check in with you about dinner tonight.” I pause for a moment. “I’ll just get something on my way to the show.” Ernie nods, “Very good sir.” He looks like he has something on his mind. “What is it Ernie?” He falls into my chair.“I’m worried Wyatt won’t want to stay.” Why would he think that? “I gave her the contract to sign tonight. It’s an offer she can’t refuse. She will stay.” He puts his arm over his forehea
