The computer is on loan. Indefinitely, Miss Manobal. I note from your tone that you have read the documentation I gave you. Do you have any questions so far?

I have many questions, but not suitable for email, and some of us have to work for a living. I do not want or need a computer indefinitely. Until later, good day. Sir.
Lisa.
His reply again is instant, and it makes me smile.

I shut the computer down, grinning like an idiot. How can I resist playful Jungkook? I am going to be late for work. Well, it is my last week - Mr. and Mrs. Clayton will probably cut me some slack. I race into the shower, unable to shake my face-splitting grin. He emailed me. I'm like a small, giddy child. And all the contract angst fades. As I wash my hair, I try and think what I could possibly ask him via email. Surely it's better to talk these things through. Suppose someone hacked into his account! I flush at the thought. I dress quickly, shout a hasty goodbye to Rose, and I'm off to work my last week at Clayton's.
~~~
Bambam phones at eleven.
"Hey, are we doing coffee?" He sounds like the old Bambam. Bambam my friend, not a - what did Christian call him 'Suitor'. Ugh.
"Sure. I'm at work. Can you make it here for say twelve?"
"See you then."
He hangs up, and I go back to restocking the paintbrushes and thinking about Jeon Jungkook and his contract.
~~~
Bambam is punctual. He comes bounding into the shop like a gamboling dark-eyed puppy.
"Lisa," he smiles his dazzling toothy all-Hispanic-American smile, and I can't be angry with him anymore.
"Hi Bambam." I hug him. "I'm starving. I'll just let Mrs. Clayton know I'm going for lunch."
As we stroll to the local coffee shop, I slip my arm through Bambam's. I'm so grateful for his - normality. Someone I know and understand.
"Hey Lisa," he murmurs. "You've really forgiven me?"
"Bambam, you know I can never stay mad at you for long."
He grins.
I can't wait to get home. The lure of emailing Jungkook, and maybe I can begin my research project. Rose is out somewhere, so I fire up the new laptop and open my email. Sure enough, there's an email from Jungkook sitting in the inbox. I'm practically bouncing out of my seat with glee.

I type Submissive into Wikipedia.
Half an hour later, I feel slight queasy and frankly shocked to my core. Do I really want this stuff in my head. Jeez - is this what he gets up to in the Red Room of PainI sit staring at the screen, and part of me, a very moist and integral part of me - that I've only become acquainted with very recently, is seriously turned on. Oh my, some of this stuff is HOT. But is it for me, Holy shit... could I do this! I need space. I need to think.
***
For the first time in my life, I voluntarily go for a run. I find my nasty, never-used sneakers, some sweat pants, and a t-shirt. I put my hair in pigtails, blushing at the memories they bring back, and I plug in my iPod. I can't sit in front of that marvel of technology and look at or read any more disturbing material. I need to expend some of this excess, enervating, energy. Quite frankly, I have a mind to run to the Heathman hotel and just demand sex from the control freak. But that's five miles, and I don't think I'll be able to run one mile, let alone five, and of course, he might turn me down which would be beyond humiliating.
