I wasn’t jealous. It was just a matter of making sure the people that worked for me respected me. I had no intention of being friends with any of the secret service workers and I needed them to understand where they stood in regards to Kayla.
Sure, Kayla was much younger than I was and I knew the secret service guys were going to like her much more than they liked me. She was funny and sweet and probably even flirted with them a little. But under no circumstances were any of them going to get it in their head that they could have a go at her. If that meant I needed to fuck her on my kitchen table every night for a month; then I was going to do that.
Being the second most powerful man in the world had its benefits, that was for sure. One of them was Kayla. She had helped me get to where I was and I appreciated everything she had done. Kayla also understood what it took to be successful in Washington. She had stuck by my side through a lot, so I didn’t want to let her slide away from me as I approached my intended finish line.
“Did you sleep well?” I asked Kayla as we both started to stir awake after our evening of kitchen table love making.
“Mmmm, yes I slept so good.”
Kayla rolled over and cuddled up next to me. I did really enjoy having her tucked in with me like she was. There was a peace about her lately. I felt like she was happier than she had been before. Certainly deciding to get married would typically make a woman happy. But Kayla seemed happy in a much different way.
I couldn’t tell if the power of the position was enticing to her or not. But it had to be. Any woman would kill to be getting ready to marry the Vice President of the United States. I was only one small step from the White House. There was only one little accident away from me taking over the country as the most powerful man.
“Did you decide what you’d like to do with yourself since I fired you?” I asked her.
“Oh, I don’t know. I thought I might get into pot and marijuana. Maybe start shooting heroin or something like that.”
“Seems like a reasonable way to spend your workday.”
“Seriously, though, I have no idea what I want to do. It’s overwhelming to have the world in the palm of your hands.”
I couldn’t help but laugh at how much anxiety Kayla seemed to have over finding something to do with herself all day. Certainly she had wanted to do something else besides politics.
“What was your end game?” I asked her as I pulled her with me to the bathroom.
She looked at me like I was crazy for a minute while she pondered what she was going to answer. I loved to look at her while she walked around naked, it was one of my favorite things to see. I took a seat at the edge of the tub and watched as Kayla paced back and forth in the large master suite. Her naked body oblivious to my eyes on her.
“You know, I don’t really have any idea. I wanted to work my way up to managing a Senators office. That was what I wanted.”
“Well, you did that. What was next?”
Kayla stopped right in front of me as she stared at me with a blank expression on her face. It was obvious that she had not planned her life out well. Any good plan would have included some wide-eyed possibilities for her future.
“Nothing.”
“Kayla! You have to dream big. You can’t just dream of working for someone else. What is it that you want to do? When you die, what do you want people to remember you by?”
“I don’t know.”
“Well then we found something for you to do with your week. Find out what you want to be remembered for.”
Kayla didn’t seem all that thrilled about my plan for the week for her. But she had to figure things out on her own. Most women I knew would kill to have the life she was going to have. Kayla didn’t have to work anymore. She could attend to other things she wanted to do with her life. I really hoped she would find her passion or at least something that was entertaining to her.
“What if I want to sit around and eat bonbons and be remembered for that?” Kayla said as a smile flashed across her face.
“Then I’ll go buy you a freezer full of them,” I said as I pulled her toward me. “I’m serious when I say you can do whatever you want. This is a great opportunity for you. Take your time and decide what you’d like to try. If it doesn’t work out, you could always sit around here and we could make babies.”
I saw the blood drain out of Kayla’s face at the mention of babies. I really had not meant it as a real statement. I knew she wasn’t anywhere near making that decision for her life yet. It was just a joke.
“I can hardly take care of myself. Let’s leave babies out of this,” Kayla said.
As we stood in the warm shower and continued our morning conversation, I couldn’t help but think I was really damn lucky to have her in my life. There were a lot of women that couldn’t have dealt with me the way she did. It was a great match up and I couldn’t wait to see what our future would bring us.
I had one more major step on my plans for the future. If everything went as planned, I would reach my ultimate goal very soon. It was a numbers game at that point, day by day; just waiting for the right day to come along so I could rise to the powerful level I had always dreamed of.
