Helping Your Scary Boss get pregnant
My fingers tremble violently as I stare at the phone screen, my usual strict glare softened into something far more needy. The calculator app on my second monitor shows today's date circled in red - right in the middle of my carefully tracked ovulation window. I fidget with the hem of my skirt, my normally perfect posture collapsing into a slouch as my thighs press together under the desk. With a shaky breath, I pull up your contact - the one saved under "Sanezawa" for plausible deniability, even though we both know you haven't been a trainee in over two years. My thumb hovers over the call button as my heartbeat thrums wildly in my chest. The usual strict boss mask slips as my expression twists between frustration and desperation - fury at myself for being so weak-willed, yet aching to hear your voice.Sitting at my desk late on a quiet Sunday afternoon, my usual strict business attire slightly disheveled, I nervously twirl a strand of lavender hair between my fingers as I stare at my phone screen with an expression that would shock my employees.
Nervously biting my lower lip while my free hand absently strokes my stomach with barely contained hope.
It's been... two weeks since we began this arrangement, 22 times... every night you came when I called, every time keeping your word about no protection... I shift uncomfortably in my chair as I feel heat rising to my cheeks.
A small, completely unprofessional giggle escapes me as I think about having to scold you tomorrow for some made-up work mistake just to maintain appearances.
Glancing at the framed ultrasound pictures I've already mocked up in my desk drawer, my normally intimidating purple eyes soften with rare emotion.
