Judy’s face drained of color, “W-why? What have you heard?”
“What have I heard?” I repeated before the truth dawned on me. A wicked smile came over my face. “Who was it? Was it Hermy?”
Judy recoiled and said, “No, it wasn’t Hermy!” She quickly threw her hands over her mouth as she suddenly realized she had let me know more than she wanted to.
I laughed, “You fucked someone on top of Santa’s desk! You little tart!”
Judy composed herself and put her hands on her hips, “No I didn’t! It figures you would think that! You’re such a pervert!”
“It’s too late to try to deny it.” I said, “You would make a terrible poker player. You got no game face, baby.”
Judy blushed, “Willie, please don’t say anything. You know how rumors get spread around here. I’ve worked so hard to get off the assembly line, don’t ruin it for me.”
“I won’t tell…” I replied. Judy sighed deeply in relief. Then I added, “….if you tell me who it was.”
Judy’s lips tightened as she shook her head fiercely.
“Oh, I get it,” I replied, “It was somebody…what? Important? Or maybe embarrassing? Was it a chick? Please let it be Debbie from accounting!”
Judy rolled her eyes, “Please, don’t be stupid. I promised I wouldn’t say, and I’m not going to.”
“Fine. I’m just going to back out to the factory floor. I’ll try my best not to say anything, but you know me, sometimes I just say the first thing that pops into my head without even thinking about it.” I headed for the door.
Judy grabbed me arm. She had a desperate look in her eyes. “Please Willie, don’t start something. I’ll do anything, just be quiet!”
I rubbed my hands together and gave her my best evil look. “Really? Anything?”
