The more things change, the more they stay the same.
We always remembered that first time. We celebrate our union yearly on the same date by repeating our unofficial marriage. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Except, on that date, we trust our eldest and most reliable driver, Tom, to take charge and take care of business.
We hired two more drivers to replace us on the road. This is a very fluctuating business. So, new personnel has to be hired all the time. Sonia is in charge of recruiting the girls, while I recruit and supervise our drivers.
As much as we respect our personnel, they recognize our devotion to giving our customers good service and ensuring they don’t get troubled.
In the early days, Sonia told me we had to discuss a problem she had with one of the girls.
“Celena complains that her lover has split because of her work. He wanted her to quit, but she wasn’t ready. Although her work is in the sex industry, it remains just that: work. She’s missing the warm contact of a lover to satisfy her needs. I don’t know what to do.”
“Well, what do you want me to do about it? I can’t supply her with a lover. Does she need some time off to fill her empty situation? We could allow that to happen, you know.”
“No, that’s not it. She needs to work and has no qualifications other than what she’s been doing for the past years. You do know that she’s one of our best girls. She would be hard to replace. But, maybe, just maybe, I have a temporary solution.”
“What do you suggest we could do?”
“Please don’t get mad, but I was thinking if we both invited her over after work, we could… You know…”
“What are you aiming at? Should I take care of her needs in place of her lover? Is that it?”
“Yes and no. I was thinking we both could help her. After all, she’s bi. So we could make her happy until she finds her way. That way, we keep her satisfied and benefit from it. She keeps providing the customers with her excellent attitude, and we both experience something new. You know, like when we came together on our anniversary day?”
“Honey, do you know what you are asking about? Do you want me to let her experience how we came about to be together, in more than the business we are exploiting? Do you want me to give her a massage like I give you every day?”
“Yes, I do, Theo, my love. Anything we do together keeps us welded as an entity. A sexual undivided combination.”
“Sonia, did you consider that this would bring you to having sex with another woman? Do you have bi-sexual desires that I don’t know about?”
“Not now; just remember how you transformed me with a massage. How you got me to cherish the sex we have together. It was what you did to me that brought me to develop the yearning I have for our sexual voracity. So, I am not into girls right now, but who can tell where this adventure will take us? If we don’t like it, we don’t have to repeat the experience, but if we do, who knows where it will take us.”
“I must admit you got me right now. I can’t refute your suggestion. Ok! We will travel that path once and see where it will lead us. I leave the task of fixing things with Selena.”
“I know she admires me. So it won’t be too hard to convince her.”
“This resembles the pupil teaching the professor.”
We both laughed our hearts out.
The following day, Selena showed up at our door. When she saw me, she had a surprise look in her eyes.
“Hello, Selena, welcome to our humble home.” That is all I could say.
“Thank you, sir, is Sonia here?” she replied
“Yes, she is impatiently waiting for you.”
Please come in and make yourself comfortable.
I guided her to our living room, telling her that Sonia would come to greet her shortly.
“Would you like something to drink? We have coffee, juice, beer, or liquor. Whatever you prefer.”
“Coffee would be nice after a hard day and night.” She murmured.
“Coffee is coming up. We just brewed it, so it is fresh.”
That was awkward, I realized.
I went to the kitchen to get it. Sonia had heard everything and had already poured a cup. We brought it to Selena with milk and sugar if she needed any.
“Thank you, it smells good.” She dropped a cube of sugar and added a trace of milk.
Sonia and I sat together. Sonia was eager to start the conversation.
“I’m happy you came over Selena. Our thoughts were with you and the situation you’re in. I know how hard it can be to see the person we love walk away for a lack of acceptance of a person’s way of earning her living. Please feel assured that we are not judging you or him. To each his own, as they say.”
“Yes, you are right, Sonia, that’s why I overcame my grief so quickly; plus, you opened your heart to me and invited me here today. I don’t feel so alone right now.”
“Have you figured out how to overcome your solitude?”
“No, not yet, but I know there must be a way to overcome my distress.”
“We have a short solution for you, but it depends on your feelings. We are both willing to fill in your void. Theo helped me in the past to conquer my reservations about sex. We became a thing. He could fill in your emptiness like he helped defeat mine. Would you be willing to try? You’ll see how he is not pushy and very patient. He has a method to help a person realize their full potential.”
“Is that so? How can a man understand a woman’s feelings and thoughts?”
“In my case, he took the time to lowly, very slowly exploit the sensitive spots, gradually exploring the hidden barriers I had built or were socially looked upon by the not-so-wise general teachings I had received. I suspect you are in the same situation I was then. Today, thanks to his teaching, we could smash the walls, and I became a new person in command of what I wanted from a relationship with another. To make you feel at ease, I can either stay here while he explains his views and try different methods or retire to our room. Whatever you decide, we will respect your choice.”
“I would appreciate it if you stayed, Sonia. The way you explain that I now understand where you come from. You are respected by all the girls/women in the agency.”
Theo called Ralph to ask him to take over for the day. He, Sonia, and Selena had to settle a little problem and wouldn’t be available.
Theo engaged in a conversation similar to his with Sonia on their first day. He proceeded with patience as he had with her. Selena slowly but surely followed his instructions. Everything was similar up to the point where Selena asked if Sonia could join.
“You two know I’m bi-sexual. Would it be possible for Sonia to join us? I know you are uni-sexual, Sonia, but it would help me to try this method with a person of my gender.”
“I certainly won’t refuse. That can be another barrier I can destroy today.”
Theo moved aside to let the two girls practice his teachings. “I can stay with you two or leave you alone. It’s as you wish. I want you to be comfortable.”
“Your offer is so nice, Theo, but I want you to stay with Sonia and me if she doesn’t object. Maybe we could use your knowledge at some point.”
“I feel the same way, Honey. Please stay.”
“Very well then. Thank you for your trust in me.”
