Page 6 of Beauty and the Boss Man

Now, don’t misunderstand me. I don’t think I’m hideous. There’s nothing wrong with being a little curvy but seeing as I used to be pretty damn skinny, I just have some issues feeling comfortable in my own skin sometimes.

Back then, I barely had any boobs to speak of, and now, they’re way more than a handful. Between their newly formed stretch marks and all of the eyes leering at them constantly, I usually feel more comfortable hiding them and pretending they don’t exist.

Veronica just picked out all of the clothes that would have the girls on full display for the whole world to see.

No, thank you.

“Make sure you take your contacts too, so you don’t have to wear your glasses the whole time,” she says.

“What’s wrong with my glasses? I need them to, you know, SEE!”

“That’s also what contacts are for. And then, everyone can see your pretty blue eyes.”

“You understand this is a work thing, right? I’m not going to make a love connection.”

She busies herself with folding a shirt. “I know, but how about you have some fun too? Maybe you can find someone to at least give you an orgasm.”

I scoff. “V, I have orgasms all the time.”

Her eyes roll. “I’m talking about the kind of orgasms not brought on by your own fingers or a vibrator. When was the last time you had a man climb between your legs and settle in, ready to give you every type of pleasure imaginable? When was the last time a man made you come so hard your legs wouldn’t stop shaking?”

“I don’t remember,” I lie. The truth is that I’ve never had a man do any of those things.

All of the men I let take me to bed in college were pretty self-obsessed and didn’t care much beyond getting their dicks wet. Whether or not I had an orgasm wasn’t even on their radar—let alone a mind-blowing one.

“Romy, all I’m saying is if the opportunity comes knocking, don’t ignore it. Open the door, and let that bitch in.”

I can’t help but laugh at her dramatic attitude. And before I can change the subject, she throws her hand over her heart and adds, “Thank you for listening to this public service announcement from none other than your vagina.”

Oh, lord.
