Looking over, she glanced at it then swung her gaze back to me. “Are you real?”
I chuckled. “I am. Why do you say that?”
“You saw my room!” She shook her head. “Like that was messy. I had clothes on the floor and wet towels in the bathroom. This? It’s like my grandmother's room. Everything in its place. The bed doesn’t even look slept in either.”
I shrugged. “Ok, so I always make it, even in a hurry. And let me be clear…When I knew you were coming, I rushed out of here yesterday.”
She paused to smile at me. “Ok, so we have established that you are…a neat freak on top of being a good looking lawyer with a dazzling smile. But you barely dated? It sounds like oneof those pink dolphin stories. A rarity. So what happened with these maids?” she asked again. “I saw them.Verycute.”
“Cute as in barely twenty,” I scoffed.
Bracing her hands on her hips, she asked in a sceptical tone, “So, theybothcame on to you?”
I nodded. “Yes.”
“At the same time?’
I grimaced at her. “Like they never did any of it one at a time. No! They cornered me by the broom closet one day. Well actually, they tricked meintothe broom closet.”
“Tricked you?” Julianna asked as she looked confused.
“Sofie said she couldn’t reach some cleaner on the top shelf,” I explained. “I went in, she came in behind me and shut the door.” Pausing, I hesitated with the next part.
“And…?” Julianna coaxed me.
I let out a heavy breath and told her, “Gina was hiding in there. Then they jumped me.”
She paused and stared at me. “They what?”
“Climbed me like a tree. Kissed every bit of bare skin on me. Sofie ripped my jacket as I fought to keep it on.”
Julianna’s mouth dropped open in shock.
I nodded at her astonishment. “Yeah, that was my initial response too. Disbelief. Those two girls had planned to rape me, I think?”
Julianna stared at me and then asked, “So what happened?”
“I shouted at them to stop and Dante heard it. He opened the door and we all fell out into the hallway. We were rolling around and they were still doing that annoying giggling crap.”
“Oh, wow…”
“Yeah and he laughed so hard that I thought he was gonna pee himself.” I rolled my eyes. “The girls were on top of me, tearing at my clothes and I called to him for help. He backed away and said he didn't do foursomes.”
Julianna blinked at me in surprise again, then she burst into laughter.
“Yeah and he did that too.” I pointed at her. “Laughing until he cried as I was trying to keep my pants on. Covolo, it wasn’t funny. So after he left, I got angry when they refused to let me get up from the floor. I told them they would be summarily fired if they did not get the hell off of me. They finally stopped grappling and giggling. I warned them if they ever tried that kind of thing again, I would tell Zia.”
“Wow, ok so you let them off the hook.”
“I did and I had to blackmail Dante to keep him from telling anyone. I really didn’t want them to get fired, but I never wanted to be woman-handled again either.”
Julianna was laughing.
“I still don’t think it’s funny!” I exclaimed in disgust. “They tried to violate me.”
“I’ve heard the phrase manhandled, but womanhandled?”
“Well, just know that it does exist. It is rare but it can happen.”
