Try as he might, Tom just couldn’t get Julie out of his mind. He had seen her around the office before. She was hard to miss; tall, slim, gorgeous. They’d been working together on big project for the last two weeks, and it was driving him insane.

Tom and his wife had had more sex in the past two weeks than they had in the past two years. His wife was beautiful, but she was blonde and petite, nothing like Julie.

He knew Julie was married, which he reasoned meant that having an affair with her almost impossible. Nonetheless, he had an itch he had to scratch.

“Just get an escort,” one of his friends suggested. Tom rejected that idea at first, but as his need grew, he started looking.

“Too bad she’s not Asian or Latina,” he said to himself as he perused the websites after work. Nothing appealed to him until, one Friday night, he saw a stunning photo that he couldn’t resist. The girl, ‘Tiffany,’ had long legs, perfect breasts and wavy hair, just like Julia.

Her face was edited over, but Tom knew he had to give it a try. He looked at her reviews online. "Almost too good to be true,“ was a common phrase. "She’s not always available,” another review noted before adding, “but worth waiting for.” Another review put it bluntly: “Gorgeous! Tiffany is worth every penny.”

“That’s enough for me,” Tom thought. He called to schedule an appointment and a man answered. He made the arrangements and told his wife he had to head into the office.

He was nervous as he walked through the hotel lobby. He impatiently pressed the elevator button and practically ran to the room number he was given. Tom composed himself, and then knocked on the door.

He heard the girl come to the door and hesitate as she looked at him through the peephole. After an eternity, she opened the door. Tom stood there in shock, staring at Julia.

“Well,” she said, “this is awkward.” She smiled at him as he stared from the hallway. "Are you coming in, Tom?“
