A little gender swap. Just on paper of course.

You nervously sit and listen to your co-worker explain her crazy plan to keep you employed. You can't help but be distracted by her smile and how she nervously plays with her hair. She seems to have really planned this whole thing out. Swapping your gender in your file to fool the system into not firing you. Does she really want me to work for her that much? Why would she go through all this trouble just for me? Suddenly you find yourself thinking of your hopefully future boss a bit differently. From day one, you assumed she was way out of your league and probably already taken. What if you were wrong. What if she actually liked you?

"Hey, are you alright with all this?" Lisa's question snaps you out of your thoughts. She's looking right at you with her beautiful brown eyes.

"Uh, yeah. Of course." You barely manage to not look like a dumbstruck fool.

"I know this seems really complicated, but its not that bad, I promise. I'll handle everything with the paperwork. All you have to worry about is doing your job." She smiles confidently. The previous look of stress replaced by one of excitement.

"This seems way to easy. Won't they be suspicious of someone suddenly changing genders?"

"Don't worry. I already have an example to follow. Corporate won't suspect a thing and more importantly, you won't get fired." Lisa smiles at you.

"An example?" You ask.

"Yeah. You probably saw her on your way in today." You give Lisa a look of confusion, she smiles and explains. "Claire, the receptionist. Though you probably knew them as Nathan."

You shake your head in disbelief as she continues. "I did all the paperwork for their transition and head office accepted it without question. It was a pain in the ass to find the proper forms the first time, but now I know exactly what I'm doing." So the oddly familiar woman you saw at reception who somehow knew you was Nathan? When you first started here, they were the one that showed you around and got you familiar with the job. Sure, they were pretty feminine for a guy but... The transformation is unbelievable. You were totally checking out her ass this morning. Realizing you've been lost in thought for a moment, you look up and catch Lisa watching you intently. She smiles at your embarrassment. You both know what you were thinking about.

"Uh, so... what's next? Anything I need to do?" You try to compose yourself. Lisa is acting strange today and it's really throwing you off.

"Nothing you need to do right now," Lisa pushes back her chair and stands up. "I'll let you know when I have things ready for you to sign. I look forward to continuing our work together."

"Yeah, me too." Your head is spinning, this is a lot to process all at once. Lisa notices your distress and walks over to your side of the table.

"You okay with all this? I know it's a lot to take in first thing in the morning." She looks at you with a compassionate smile. You notice she comes much closer to you than usual. The situation is much more awkward because you are still sitting down and she is standing over you. Your mind starts to wander to naughty places but you manage to snap out of it.

"It's just that I thought I was getting fired, along with half the men here... now I get a promotion... but I have to lie about being a woman. You're right it is a lot to take in." Lisa smiles and puts her hands on your shoulders, turning you towards her. You can feel your heart thumping in your chest.

"Don't worry about at thing. I really want you as my assistant. That's why I'm willing to do all this. Trust me, I know what I'm doing. Here," she pulls what looks like a business card out of her purse, "this will help you relax, you..."

Bzzzt-bzzzt

Your intimate interaction is interrupted by Lisa's phone. She grabs it and rolls her eyes as she looks at the screen. "I'll message you later," she says before answering the call and walking out of the room. "Good morning, Sir. What can I do for you?"

You take a deep breath. That was unusually intense. Is she acting strange or is it just me? I really do need to relax. You look at the card Lisa gave you.
