Evelyn Pamela Winters sat in her spacious office feeling angry. More angry that she had ever been. She could have any man she wanted at the snap of her fingers but somehow someway Roy Hinkley continues to elude her. Why! Why couldn't she get him! So what if he was married? Big deal! Married man fool around all the time. It was common knowledge. Besides she was at least ten times more beautiful than that Ginger. Ginger. She sneered at that name. The woman did not like her one bit. No she did not. She despised the way the redhead would saunter into the building and down to the lab and drape herself all over Roy like some common harlot. It made her blood boil. That Ginger was nothing but a lowly actress who starred in ridiculous B-Movies that no one in their right mind would ever take seriously. Hula Girl and the Fullback. How pathetic! Belly Dancers From Bali Bali! Ha! Oh and her favorite…Raindancers of Rango Rango! All that woman did was shake her stuff on screen. She had no talent! No brains! She was an airhead! What the hell did Roy Hinkley see in that woman!
She, Evelyn, was an educated woman. She went to a top Ivy League school, graduated at the top of her class excelled in helping make Dunmore & Thompson one of the top science facilities in the nation! She certainly accomplished a hell of a lot more than that stupid Ginger! Why couldn't Roy see that! Well she would just have to make him see it that's all there was to it. How she was going to go about this she didn't quite know yet.
But she had to come up with some plan. Something to get him thinking of her. If only he knew how great they would be together sexually. Unfortunately for her he rejected her advances. This infuriated her more. What she wouldn't do if she could just somehow get him alone where he could not escape and lower his resistance. She sighed at thought of getting her hands on his body. Touching every inch of him. Running her tongue along his hard muscular chest and…it was simply a delicious thought. But that darn obstacle was in her way! That no good Ginger got her claws sunk into him deep and it was impossible to try to and get them out. But she would. Somehow she would. That man could not resist forever. Sooner or later he would crack.
Evelyn stood up from her desk and walked out of her office. She decided to take a long lunch so she could think over some more of how to get her hooks into a certain academic with blue eyes. The dark haired woman walked to the elevator and hit the button. The doors opened and much to her delight Roy Hinkley was inside.
The Professor saw the woman standing there and sighed a sigh of frustration. She was the last person he wished to see. He moved to exit the elevator but Evelyn was too quick and the doors shut before he could leave. So there he was stuck with this woman. The scholar stood on the other side of the elevator and avoided any eye contact with her. However it didn't seem to deter the woman. "Why hello Roy." She said.
He barely acknowledged her with a nod and said nothing. His eyes watching the numbers and willing the elevator to hurry along.
Evelyn got an idea and walked over hitting the stop button. The Professor grimaced as she turned to smile at him. "Roy." She said in that irritating way of hers. "I think we need to address something."
"There's nothing to address." He said as he went to restart the elevator however Evelyn blocked him from doing so.
"Yes there is." She continued. "There is obviously this sexual chemistry between us. The question is what are we going to do about it."
Roy finally turned his head towards her and gave her a look as if she had just announced she was an alien from Mars. "I haven't the slightest idea what you are talking about." He replied. "I feel nothing for you and there is none of this sexual chemistry you claim."
"Roy Roy please stop trying to deny it." Evelyn said moving in closer. "You know it's there. I know it's there. We can't keep fighting this."
"I'm not fighting anything." He answered pushing her back. "There is nothing to fight. I do not have any feelings for you. The only relationship we have is a professional one and that is all it will ever be. I've told you several times that I do not wish to pursue anything more. Ginger is the one that I love."
Evelyn, not phased at all, inched in closer causing him to be backed against the wall of the elevator. "Oh dear sweet Roy. I think you protest too much. Come on…let go….you know you desire me. You want me as bad as I want you. Let's make it happen. You can't tell me that this doesn't do something for you…" Her hand then went to a very intimate area of his body and the Professor was stunned and repulsed. He did not wish this woman to be touching him.
"Doesn't this feel nice.." She purred in his ear.
The Professor flung her hand away and pushed her back hard. "Don't you ever touch me again." He roared. "Do you understand me? Don't ever do that again." With that he hit the button on the elevator and it started up again. As soon as it came to stop at a floor, the Professor rushed by Evelyn wishing to get as far away from her as possible.
The Men's Room came into view and he hurried inside. There was no one there as he raced towards a stall and got sick. He was shaking as he then stood up. Never in his life had he ever felt so violated. Her advance previously made him ill but this was ten times worse. Violated was the only word he could think to describe it. Dirty perhaps. Sick. Disgusted. He walked out of the stall and grabbed a paper towel to clean himself up. He then splashed water on his face and stood in front of the mirror staring at his reflection. What was he going to do? How was he going to deal with this? And how could he keep Ginger from finding out? There was no way in the world he could put her through this. There is no telling what that awful Evelyn will put into his wife's head. She could very well manipulate everything and Ginger would think…no no he could not do that to Ginger. Not a chance.
Roy stood up straight and adjusted his shirt and tie. He needed to get a grip and figure a way to resolve this. How he was going to do this he didn't know. Just then the door to the Men's Room opened and two of his colleagues Ronald and Stephen walked in. They appeared to be discussing one Evelyn Winters.
"That woman is just something else." Ronald gushed. "Man wouldn't it be great to get her alone in her office…"
Stephen nodded. "Yeah man what a totally knockout! Getting her on the table in the lab…Oh yeah."
The Professor felt sick again listening to this conversation and quickly excused himself.
Evelyn Winters most certainly was not the things these men believed her to be. She was a vile creature and he couldn't stand hearing otherwise.
Roy spotted the door to the stairs and decided that would be the easier route to take. He did not wish to run into Evelyn again. He was not going to return to the office for the rest of the day. No he was going to stay as far away as possible. Tomorrow he had the day off and he was going to spend it with his beautiful Ginger. That he was looking forward to.
Just him and Ginger. Holding her in his arms. Hearing her sweet sensual voice. It was all he wanted. When he returned to the office, he was just going to do whatever was necessary to avoid Evelyn. Perhaps be transferred to a different office. Franklin Dunmore had mentioned to him about an opening in a office across town. It was a step above what he was doing now. At first the Professor didn't think much of it but now he was seriously considering it and hoping beyond hope that position was still available to him. The sooner he could get out of this office the better.
The Professor finally reached the ground floor and sped out of the building to his car barely saying a good bye to the security guard. He practically jumped into the vehicle and took off. All he wanted was to get home. Maybe he could call Ginger. Hear her voice. It would make him feel so much better. Just to hear her breathe would soothe him. She was all he wanted and needed. If only she could be there physically. What he wouldn't give to just be able to spend the rest of the day with her wrapped up in his arms and blocking out the world. The driveway came into view about fifteen minutes later and he pulled in. The engine was turned off and he ran inside. He stood against the door feeling overwhelmed and that sick feeling came back. Determined to ignore it, he headed up the stairs to the bedroom he shared with Ginger. He stepped inside and immediately went to her picture. He picked it up looking at her lovely face smiling back at him. "I love you." He said to it. "I love you my beautiful starlet." He kissed the picture before setting it back down.
The Professor then went to the bathroom and removed his clothes throwing them in the hamper as if they contained toxic material. He then turned the water of the shower on and stepped inside. He picked up the scented green soap and scrubbed and scrubbed. This was worse than he could have imagined. That dirty feeling just would not leave him no matter what he did. He just could not feel clean. Finally he set the soap down in the dish and just stood as hot water sprayed on him. His mind was spinning with a thousand thoughts trying to figure out just what he was going to do.
New York
Ginger happily packed her bag in preparation for her departure the next morning. Normally she would not have taken such an early flight but she just could not wait one second longer to be with her husband again. She missed him like crazy. So much it hurt inside. Yes it was only a week but still. She had been with him everyday on that island for four years. Rarely had she been apart from him in that time. She just got used to it. It wasn't that she was clingy or needy and had to be glued to his side 24/7. Ginger simply enjoyed being near her husband. Being far apart was the pits. Well that would come to an end tomorrow. Tomorrow she would see him again. How she could not wait to be in his arms.
The redhead smiled picking up a very sexy pink negligee that she had picked up while she had some free time to shop. As soon as she saw it she could not wait to surprise Roy with it. He would just love her in it she knew it! He loved her in anything she wore. Well except the long sleeve dresses she wore on the island. He stated it wasn't that she didn't look lovely it was just that he much preferred to see more skin as he enjoyed touching her. Ginger giggled when he told her this and remarked that he could have done something about it had he realized the zipper was in the back. His face turned slightly red before she kissed him sweetly.
Ginger sat down on the bed with a happy sigh. Wonderful Roy Hinkley. She never dreamed she would ever have a man like him. A man who adored her and loved her to pieces. Who would do absolutely anything in the world for her. So many times on that island, he would make things because it brought her happiness. He invented that coconut chopper because she had declared chopping coconuts was too hard. The make-up he made from things he found on the island. The perfume he concocted just for her. It seemed whatever she wanted, he did it because he wanted her to be happy.
Well he made her very happy by just being him. She loved listening to him talk about job and the scientific things that went into creating the various products they produced. He had such a passion for science she found it fascinating. It wasn't just science. She also adored the music he liked. Classical music like Mozart. Not to say he wasn't a fan of all types but that was his preference. He took her to a classical music concert and she thought it wonderful. At first she was unsure she would enjoy it but went along because it was important to him. As she listened she found the music very romantic. The Professor had a collection of classical music and she thoroughly loved sitting in front of the fire listening to it with him. She smiled thinking maybe they could do that when she got back. How heavenly!
Ginger eyed the phone on the nighttable and went over to pick it up. She was about to dial when she placed the received down. No No she couldn't bother him at work. He was busy. She would call him later and….wait….it was lunchtime there in California. Maybe he went home…she quickly snatched up the receiver and dialed. The phone rang a few times before it was picked up. "Hello?" The Professor answered somewhat tense.
Ginger grinned to herself. "Why hello darling." She said.
The Professor, relieved it was not that awful Ms. Winters, relaxed a bit. "Ginger my love to what do I owe this surprise? I didn't think you would call again until tonight."
"I wasn't going to but I can't help myself. I want to hear your voice. I know I know I shouldn't be so…"
"It's perfectly alright.' He said before a thought popped into his head. "Um Ginger how did you know to call me here?" The Professor prayed she had not called the office. The secretary downstairs had seen him leave in a hurry and she was a bit of a busybody.
"Well I knew it was lunchtime there and I took the chance that maybe you had gone home for lunch." Ginger explained.
"Oh." He said relaxing again. "You are a very wise woman."
"I love you so much darling. I know I shouldn't keep calling you like this and I know I'm probably being childish by doing so…."
"You are not being childish and I enjoy hearing your voice. My love you can call me as much as you please. I don't mind a bit."
"I can't wait to see you tomorrow. Darling I just want to be alone with you. All alone. Just the two of us. Doesn't that sound wonderful."
"It sounds perfectly wonderful. I'm looking forward to it. I miss you Ginger. I just want you here with me again. Just wish to forget everything."
Ginger was puzzled. "Forget everything? What do you mean?"
The Professor then realized what he had said. "Oh I just…you know hard week at work. Lots going on…that's all." He said to cover.
"I see." Ginger said. "That Evelyn pushing you?"
At the sound of that name the Professor felt bile in this throat. "Um…sort of….it's no big deal. I'm fine. Just working hard that's all."
"I hope that woman appreciates you." The starlet frowned. "You are the smartest one in that whole company."
The Professor smiled at her compliment. "And you my love are the most beautiful woman in Hollywood." He said to change the subject. "I hope everyone in Hollywood appreciates all the hard work you put into that movie."
"I do too." Ginger said. "It was a lot of work. This was a more challenging project that's for sure. I hope I was good enough."
"I have every confidence in the world you were." Roy stated. "I'm certain everyone will love you."
"Roy darling you always know what to say to make me feel better. I love you. I will see you tomorrow. I love you darling!"
"I love you too Ginger. Until tomorrow."
Ginger blew him a kiss over the phone and set the receiver down. What he said about his job puzzled her. Saying he wanted to forget everything. She found that a bit odd. And something told her there was more to this than what he was letting on.
