I just wanted to touch Don all over and wished that I could feel his whole body on top of mine. How could I tell him so? He was being very romantic and I felt nice to cuddle next to him as I tried to drink my coffee. Don did not stop teasing me in a playful manner. While I was getting redder with embarrassment, I did enjoy his pulling my legs. It was all so innocent and made me laugh all the time.
At some point, Don and I entered into a discussion about the reluctance of politicians to initiate restructuring of the economic system. He was very upset with the ideological politicians who moved slowly and eventually killed any reform plans that would lead to any meaningful changes. He had recently attended a seminar with a few bureaucrats from the Treasury and the question/answer session apparently did not go well. Under a barrage of questions from the students, the bureaucrats did a poor job of defending their position and did not offer any plans that would fix the problems.
I was impressed with his deep knowledge of the economy. “So, how do you know so much about American fiscal policy? You have been studying it for such a brief time”, I asked. “Oh I know it all, I have done it all, and I have seen it all,” he responded, throwing his hands into the air and laughing loudly. “Really?” I taunted him. “Is there nothing that you don’t know or haven’t done it or haven’t seen?”
He looked worried now. I think I had cornered him. He continued to laugh and then moved his head back, thought for a couple of seconds, and responded, “May be not!” I teased him, “Don’t be so arrogant! And by the way did you know that humility is a virtue almost everywhere?”
He faked embarrassment and hid his face in his hands. I moved fast. I took
my scarf off and before he could even realize I blindfolded him. He protested, not as hard as I expected, but continued to laugh. And then he just slumped on the sofa. “So what do you want to do? Test my knowledge?” “Yes, I am not only going to test your knowledge but also teach you a lesson. You need to learn to be humble and admit that you do not know everything”, I told him as I unbuckled my belt and used it to tie his hands behind his back. It is amazing how helpless can a person become once the eyes are covered. “I shall ask you three questions. For each wrong answer, you will be punished the way I decide. For each
correct answer, you will get a kiss from me. You can ask for some hints but you will still have to get the answer exactly right to win a kiss.”
“OK, what if you ask difficult questions?” “That is the whole point. I want to teach you a lesson that you are not the smartest. Neither am I but you need to learn that,”
I shouted trying to fake some authority in my voice.
