Dick Ep.14

As Richard jogged home his mind was flooded with all types of thoughts. Images of the oh so splendid sexual encounter he and Lisa enjoyed, the tense interaction he had with Kathryn's husband, how fun tonight was going to be and how he could just feel how God awful his nuts were going to be smelling when the sweat from this jog mixed with the residue of the night before all ran through his mind; "Whew I can't wait to hop in the shower,” he said to himself as he waited to cross the intersection. Out of all the things that passed through Richards mind he seemed to be fixed on the fact that he was going to have to share his experience in Tokyo with one of his coworkers. Richard had never really had anyone tag along on a work trip and he was more than curious whom they would select for the job. Richard’s boss had vague idea of how things went down when on the road but he was sure if paled in comparison to what really happens. These trips were like many vacations to Richard, sure he always got the job done with stellar reviews to boot but in between business there was always ample amounts of pleasure and he didn’t know of anyone that he trusted enough to bare witness to the bonanza. To add to Richard’s trepidation the company had recently gone through some turnover with most of the senior staff being ushered out of the door for younger, lower cost personnel that reflected Paramount Sands' own rebranding effort. He knew very little about the new wave of talent, Richard was never really concerned with endearing himself to his coworkers, well except for the occasional happy hour turned one sided wife swap but that was about it. There was this one newbie named Beth that had caught Richards attention in a staff meeting, she was knee deep in a diatribe about the prevailing winds of misogyny that ran ramped in the world of corporate America and how it was her belief that we needed to self examine all of our current company practices and she was happy to lead the team chosen to do so. Seeing as though this was only her third day of work Richard thought to him self, "well that's a bit aggressive". Her campaign to end male domination, as we know it was fine with Richard, he never saw himself as anything but pro open competition for anything and as much as he loved women he didn't believe he could ever be categorized as anything close to a misogynist. "I wonder how she looks outside of her work clothes" was Richards very next thought, he noticed in that same meeting that Beth was extremely fit, "I bet she looks awesome in a bikini" Richard thought as he approached the steps to his place. As Richard slowed his jog to a walk he noticed a man dart out of the alley and quickly jump in his car. As the man hurriedly pulled off Richard caught a quick glimpse of his face "was that Lisa's boyfriend" he thought "what the hell, it couldn't have been". Richard was puzzled as to what just happened, he wasn't certain that it was him but the man definitely favored Lisa's boyfriend and if it weren’t for the fact that he was driving a different car he would have absolutely said it was him.  Chris drove an Audi 700 but the man that had just pulled off was driving a Toyota, Camry. Richard knew that Chris was supposed to get back in town today but Lisa had told him that he didn't like to use rental cars, said they made him feel cheap. “Why would he need one anyway if he was already back at home?” Richard thought as he walked up the steps. Entering his apartment with a bewildered look on his face, Richard still couldn't say for certain that was Chris and if it was him what in the hell was he doing snooping around his place anyway. There was no way that last nights rendezvous had caught up with him already, he knew Lisa would be the last person to let something slip and give Chris any reason to believe things weren't business as usual. Before hopping in the shower Richard did a quick sweep of his apartment and made sure he locked the door and put the deadbolt on "just incase" he whispered with a slight chuckle, "just in case".
