Sometimes, all we have to do

Is tie him down, to show him who

My boyfriend worked for a big pharmaceutical company in the city. He came home one day and told me that he’d been considered for a promotion to management at work, but they were concerned that he didn’t look authoritative enough, and that he looked too young for the position to command the respect it needed. They knew he had the knowledge to fill the role, but were unsure if he could delegate and take a leading position - he just seemed too nice. At 5′6 with a slim build, he sometimes still gets mistaken for an intern, despite having been there for 3 years.

Nevertheless, the company respected his loyalty and wanted to make it work. So he took the opportunity and went for the next round of the application process. He messaged me during the day and took me they’d given him a conditional offer and that he would need to go to the lab in the afternoon. I was so pleased for him. He messaged me with lots of happy emojis, his enthusiasm really showed.

Towards 6pm, he messaged me “Leaving the office now. Get dinner ready.” Woah, that doesn’t sound like him - why so direct all of all sudden? I thought to myself. I did as instructed and started to prepare dinner, hoping everything was alright. 

I heard the door open as he walked in “Hey babe, welcome home!” I shouted from the kitchen. I hear him walk to the kitchen and a deep, serious voice answers me “Hey babe, I’m home.” 

“Who the fuck are you?” I shout at him, looking for a knife.

“It’s me, babe, Stewart. The company helped me find a way to fit my new role a little” He replied calmly and confidently. My normally bashful boyfriend stood there like he owned the place, he must be over 6 foot tall now and his suit hugged his body.

“Stewie? That’s you?” I ask in shock.

“Yeah babe, and it’s Stewart, okay.” He said sternly “Stewie is a kid’s name, and I’m a Senior Executive now, alright?” I look to the floor, feeling sorry for having offended him. “Don’t worry, babe, you’ll get used to it. Want to feel this body? Bet it’s making you hard. Come on, feel me”
