My best friend in the world was Paul.

Divorced with 3 kids, I helped him out in his job as a salesman when I watched out for his kids when he had to go out of town on business. They were good kids, so it wasn't much of a problem. When his daughter, Jan, was in high school, I was watching out for them one time when I accidentally interrupted her while she was masturbating.

That one event led to changes in my life that I had never even considered: from getting her started on learning sex education on the Internet (she and Paul's other kids attended Catholic schools, where sex ed wasn't well thought of), things progressed to introducing her, and her best friend Kelly, to physical intimacy.

Then things progressed to teaching several of their other friends about love, and sex. When all was said and done, I'd deflowered a half-dozen girls before they even graduated high school – including Jan, with Paul's explicit permission. To top things off, the extremely intelligent and attractive Kelly had fallen in love with me, as I had with her, and moved in with me. After high school, she'd gone on to attend college, majoring in mathematics and philosophy. On graduation, she'd gone to work for me in my engineering business.

She'd been working for me for a little over a year when one of my customers (a loyal bunch – they knew that despite my rates, I was actually saving them money with my designs) let me know that they were seriously considering opening a manufacturing facility overseas – specifically, the Philippines. Knowing I'd spent time there while in the Navy, they asked me to take the lead on finding them a good site for their plant. After a few days of exhaustive discussions detailing what they needed, what they wanted, what they'd like to have, costs for land/labor/materials, and so on, I agreed. My job wasn't to actually sign any contracts or anything; rather, I was to narrow down the number of choices to a half-dozen or (preferably) less. That done, I'd go back with a few of their people to make introductions and get things started.
