Merry Mixups

Chapter 3

Amanda was waiting for Lee to explain himself as he once again stuck his foot in his mouth discussing of all things her choice of wardrobe!

Lee cleared his throat stating, "I didn't mean anything by it but you do dress a certain way and I was just trying to-"

Amanda nodded thinking, Keep going, Stetson! You're right where I want you!

Lee tried again. "What I mean is...well, no one really sees you any other way than the way you usually are and so-"

Amanda sighed and nodded going to the door remarking, "Ahh, so that's it."

Lee responded, "What?"

Amanda then opened the door and seeing Jill nearby whispered, "Jill? Do you still have that box here?"

Jill looked at her strangely and replied, "Yeah. Under my desk. It wouldn't fit in the drawer. Why?"

Amanda smiled commenting, "I need to borrow what's in it for a moment, please."

Francine was coming out of the elevator and Amanda getting the box from Jill stated to Francine, "I need your help for a second, please? Follow me."

The two ladies went off to the women's restroom and Rick responded to Jill, "What's going on?"

Jill shrugged and replied, "I dunno."

She then saw Lee's face and thought, Hmm. Amanda looks confident like she's winning an argument and he looks like he's in the doghouse. Ooh! This oughta be good, whatever she's planning!

A few minutes later all activity in the office stopped as Amanda walked back to the area wearing the teddy that was Jill's and then the murmurs and whistles started!

Lee stunned slumped into the chair at his desk! What the hell?!

Amanda seeing the expression smiled and said to everyone present as she walked around the room and then headed for Lee's desk, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm dressed this way to show my partner here that I can wear this kind of thing. And have before!"

As Amanda got to Lee's desk she put her hands on either side of his desk as he squirmed in his chair and she positioned herself so that he saw every last inch of her and she queried to him, "Just how do you think I got my two children, Lee? Wearing a gunny sack and sipping iced tea?"

Lee's face turned a deep red from embarrassment and he gulped stating, "Okay, okay, I get it. Please go change, huh?"

But Amanda then seated herself in Lee's lap and purred, "I was wearing this same kind of thing when my ex and I were together and we had soft music and hot toddys to help us get in the mood. So yes, I can turn a man on when I need to but I have standards when it comes to my children. So don't ever judge this book by the cover again, hmm?"

She then got up and walked back towards the restroom calmly amid claps and cheers from the crowd!

Francine then shook her head as she looked at Lee and commented, "My, my, my! I don't know what you could have said to turn her into that but bravo, my friend!"

Lee growled as he stood up from his desk and grabbed his keys stalking off, "Shut up, Desmond! Tell Billy I had to get some air!"

As Lee left in the elevator Billy came out of his office and remarked to Francine, "All right, what's going on now?"

Francine looked around as everyone got back to business and Amanda came out of the restroom and gave Jill back her box and headed to her desk and sat down.

She shrugged replying, "I dunno, Billy. From what I hear, Lee said something stupid and Amanda put him back in his place. Oh, and he's out getting some air. Got a bit too stuffy for him, I guess. Do you need anything or can I get back to work now?"

Billy was bewildered as he looked around and shook his head slowly stating, "No. Go ahead. "

He turned back toward his office and going in muttered, "This has been a very strange day."

The End

Merry Christmas, Readers!
