What kate opened was a post from /r/dirty pen pals. It read...

Kate started working at my company a couple months after I started. Even though Kate is considerably younger than me, we are at the same level in the organization. After she started, it did not take long to realize we had a connection between us. She was easy to talk to, we laughed at the same things, and had very similar opinions about life. I instantly developed a huge crush on her. And then I noticed her wedding ring.

Kate was smart, funny, ridiculously gorgeous and not in my league at all. But no matter what setting we were in or who was around, she immediately found me and wanted to be around me. Maybe she thought I was non-threatening, maybe she just enjoyed my company - it didn’t matter. Kate was nice and hot and whatever the reason, I’m glad she trusted to be around me.

Every first Thursday of the month, are group gets together for happy hour. Our happy hours are big so people will sometimes bring their boyfriends/girlfriends/husbands/wives. For her first company happy hour, I asked Kate if she was going to bring her husband. She didn’t know she could then got excited that Mitch could come.

I get to happy hour and Kate is already there with her husband. Goddamit. Mitch is way more handsome than me. I make my way over, Kate sees me, gets excited, runs over to me and gives me a big hug. “Mitch! This is Rick!” So obviously Kate has talked to her husband about me. Although I didn’t expect Kate to leave her husband for me, it was still a bit deflating to know that she was very comfortable talking to her husband about me. The night went on, we all got to know each other, and goddammit again - Mitch is nice and funny and smart. Oh well - at least Kate is with a good guy.

After a couple weeks go by, Kate is becoming more familiar with our operation and she doesn’t need to chat with me as much anymore. It’s not that she’s talking to someone else, it’s just that there’s not as much of a need for us to chat.

Happy hour Thursday was just a couple days away and I asked Kate if Mitch was coming, but she said he’s been out of town all week at a sales conference and gets back on Friday night. I didn’t mind that at all. I figured this would give me a chance to chat more with Kate.

We’re all at happy hour, drinks are flowing, and everyone is having a great time. Late and I are sitting next to each other (as usual) and we start playing “Would You?” This is a game where we all go around table to answer if we would do something for a certain amount of money. Like “would you streak through the bar naked for $500?”

A few questions are posed, people are having fun, and someone comes up with “ would you have sex with someone other than your spouse for $1,000?” Kate and I share a glance and silently decide to go to the bar for another round of drinks.

We’ve already had a couple rounds so I’m feeling bold. As the bartender gives us our drinks, I ask “So that was a weird question, huh?”

“Yea, kinda.” I noticed Kate smiling as she took another sip of her drink.

“So would you?”

Kate asked, “Would I what?” A bigger smile comes across her face.

“Would you have sex with someone other than Mitch for $1,000?”

“Depends on the person.”

“Would you have sex with me?”

Kate drops her jaw in mock horror. Smiling again she asks, “How much you got on you?”

I calmly put my hand in my pocket, take the cash out and count it. “I have $18.”

Kate takes my money and puts it in her purse. “Let’s go.”

Dumbfounded, I pause for a second then follow her out the door. As we get to our cars, she tells me to follow her.

We drive 10 minutes to her apartment complex. I follow her into the parking garage, park, and we silently walk to elevator. As the elevator goes up to the 11th floor, she says “I’ve been waiting for this since I met you.”

I follow her to her unit. Kate and Mitch’s dachshund puppy Brutus happily greets us as we enter. We walk in and Kate locks the door behind us.

Miles away at a client dinner, Mitch receives a notification on his phone. It reads “Brutus is active.” Mitch installed a Pet Alert monitoring system before he left for a conference that allows video to be streamed over WiFi. He was going to surprise Kate with it but didn’t get a chance to tell her about the system before he left. Mitch opens the notification and sees the live stream of Kate and me in their apartment.

YOUR TASK: You are Kate: you describe your thoughts from when you started working at the company, our relationship, the happy hour, or when you enter your apartment.

Or you are Mitch: you describe what you see as you launch the Pet Alert live stream. There are no limitations.
