An Apprentice Dictator in the White House

Chapter 5 Tense relations between the White House and the Congress. The extramarital relations of the president created a weird atmosphere among the White House employees. There were backstage whispers about his affair. There were many discussions about the president. He reacted quite nonchalantly, thinking he could save face. While Congress and the White House were bumping heads about the budget, the people representatives chose not to vote the budget for the current fiscal year. This caused the closure of most public offices due to default of salary payment. Even the White House was forced to get rid of its non essential staff, and in order to preserve her identity, the president decided to fire the woman whom he had the affair with. At this stage, he was more concerned with his sexual indiscretions than the public welfare, especially since he knew most of the Congress was aware of his moral dilemmas. To fill the empty positions in the White house, they hired some young interns. Among the new comers, a beautiful girl, a real star caught the attention of the president, a complete impenitent lover. She got his heart beating fast. She was then invited to the Oval Office. She found her host sad and melancholic. He seemed stressed and tortured. He seemed worried about his unbridled behavior. Nevertheless, he was ready to reactivate for that goddess... "Sit down", the president told her, completely charmed by the slender figure of the beautiful woman with the unique eyes. In front of beautiful women he would be a simple valet. It's a complete contradiction to see a world leader be so subordinate to a woman. She was surprised by the sweet and melancholic tone of the president's voice when he invited her to sit. She never expected to be greeted with such kindness. She could neither believe her eyes nor her ears. She felt such honor could disconcert her. Therefore, she got ready to take complete advantage of a lover who is incapable of self control. That's a really derogatory way to describe a president! He suffered from love sicknesses that get him to be helpless in front a woman. In no time, she managed to detect the degree of submission of the powerful man. "Why are you so sad", she asked -- I'm love sick. I have a bone to pick with my wife. -- You probably neglected her, you have so many responsibilities. She feels neglected. How does she react? Don't tell me that she cut you off........ -- You're absolutely right. She decided to sleep in a separate room. All that because some unfounded rumors she heard around. She blames me for having publicly humiliated her. Some people call me crazy in love... No, not to my face, I heard that by proxy. -- If she's acting that way, it's because you displeased her somehow. Maybe you gave her a rival who's way prettier than her. -- Not really. -- She's not crazy. Her jealousy is based on based on something real. -- Still, she should stand next to me, especially since my relation with that woman was purely platonic. -- Were you able to control yourself? Could you separate friendship from love? If you ask me, love always starts with friendship. You don't need be a psychologist to know that. Very quickly, a line is crossed and that's no one's fault. According to the old saying: the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. -- To be honest, I must confess that I feel very alone, I have no one to talk to. Would you help me with that? -- I would not. I don't know what I could do to make you smile again. In any case, don't count on me." When he heard those words, the president, sorry, mister lover started sobbing, so much that the walls shook. He wept bitterly. "I'm finished. I want to die, once and for all! My life has no purpose. I want God to take my unbearable life. What have I done to deserve this? I'm done. I don't care anymore. I'm hopeless." When she heard his disconcerting cries of despair, she felt touched in the bottom of her heart. She then got closer to the president to console him and said: "Don't worry, I'm here." From then on, she started gently touching his face, his shoulder... The lucky man immediately stopped crying. She moved her gentle hands back to his face, caressing it. The President's whole body and soul began to shiver this time with joy. Now, there are holding hands, looking at each other's eyes. Then, a first wet kiss that would probably be followed by a thousand other kisses. Mutual chills, mixed with sensual and rhythmical sighs. They hugged increasingly stronger. Embracing each other. The sighs got more intense. Their clothes were off. Completely naked, there was no way of telling them apart. For a short moment, they were one unique body. And all this, in the middle of the Oval Office. It was the beginning of a love story that was destined to last. For how long? No one knew, and the two lovers could not know what the future would hold. Only God has that power. That was a rebirth for the president , who just met the woman of his dreams. How lucky was he! He needed nothing then, but no one knew what was coming next. All his desires were fulfilled. He was so enamored with that goddess that he was willing to put her above himself. By any means, he wished to keep her near, against all odds. He was convinced that love prevailed over politics. He didn't see the danger in that, though by embarking on that path, he possibly risked losing his presidency. He didn't care on bit. He was primarily concerned with beautiful and caring women. He was focused on one idea. In reality, he was a fool to fall for such illusions. He was too extreme, consequently, he suffered unbalance since he was not moderate. However, this time, he hoped his relationship would remain unknown to the general public. That was wrong, childish and naive of him. That's the least we could say. He was unable to be without his new conquest and was even willing to meet with her outside the White House. He was filled with passion; some would even say that he became the definition of passion. As for her, she was also under his charm. She realized how lucky she was to be the lover of the President of the United States, the leader of the greatest military, economic and scientific power in the world. She even dreamt of one day becoming First Lady. Why not? She even tried to ask her lover to divorce his wife. She was ambitious, but why not? She was a woman. Often, the two stars' behavior would betray the strong ties they had. Such situation and ambition were too important to remain in hiding. Asking for confidentially was then impossible. It would have been possible if they were in a relationship that complied with social standards, in other words, if they were married. They were foolish to believe otherwise. For the president, this was adultery, for the temptress this was fornication. Despite everything, we could still hope for a miracle. Given that he had always been lucky, he kept being delusional since until then his affairs remained private. Why not? But the mistress considered her situation as a miracle. She saw herself fit to confide in her mother and one envious colleague of hers. So much honor, being the president's lover that is, could not remain hidden. Her confidence was recorded without her knowing. The tapes were then sent to the head of the opposition party. This was a great opportunity to discredit his rival. Usually in politics, the opposition is the arch nemesis of the regime in power. In reality, there might have been some meetings in order to take the necessary steps to correct certain errors for the public good. This was not the way people should act to protect the nation's interests. They mainly wanted a way to prevent the person in power to finish his mandate. It's true when they say that politics is not the science of saints. It May be the demon's. You be the judge.
