There I was on Tuesday afternoon, walking through a party good store searching for some doo-dad for my wife to take to work. After asking a sleepy clerk if they had what I was looking for and getting a poor response, I started trudging up and down aisles to help myself.
I had plenty of my own stuff to do today and was irritable not being able to put my hand on what I was looking for and getting the hell out of this store, Up aisle one, looking on both sides and then down number two, again looking left and right. It was exasperating.
That is until I reached aisle five. As I turned off number four and walked around the corner to enter five, a woman stood maybe six feet from me. She was looking at something in her hand. The first thing that caught my attention was her height. In her heels she towered over me. I'm five-eleven so I figured she was probable six-two in the spikes she wore. I feigned looking for something but sneaked glances her way to view more of her. I was able to see that her hair was cut short and brown with blonde highlights, Her profile reminded me of one of my heart throbs on the TV show Scrubs, Sarah Chalke. She had a great tan and I'll bet no tan lines.
The minute I saw her face I began doing foolish things. I wanted to see more of her but I knew I should get out of the store before I did something stupid. I didn't leave though, and decided to venture up to the end of the aisle and look at her from a distance. Trying not to be too obvious I moved on to see if I could catch her in another area of the store.
I met up with the woman again in aisle eight. Attempting to appear casual, I breezed past her and waited in nine till she showed up. Two young guys were looking at something and when she arrived I used them as cover to get a good look of her. She was dressed in a hip length tan jacket, opened, and a brown skirt cut just slightly above two pretty knees. Those wonderful heels that caught my eye earlier were also brown and they made her calves pump up and stand out on her bare legs. Her attire spoke money. I left my stalking spot and walked past her but momentarily turned and looked her over again quickly. She had on a pink silk blouse that exhibited her ample breasts, I'd guess a full "B" cup.
Thinking I'd spent enough time gawking at her there, I moved on toward the next aisle, all the while telling myself to leave the store.
Believing I was entitled to one more pleasure before I left I decided to walk past her in another aisle and smile at her. At least that would make this all worth while. So down number ten I strolled, bold as hell. Seeing her standing tall and gorgeous I walked slowly up but as I got close to her she knelt down to pick something off a lower shelf and I just slipped on past her.
As I did though, I caught a whiff of her aura. It smelled of vanilla, my favorite scent. I hesitated for a moment, taking in the odor, and when I glanced at the woman she looked up at me and smiled warmly, then turned her attention to the item she was looking at.
I was struck speechless and decided to leave, less I really make a fool of myself.
Sitting in my truck I sat there not being able to get her out of my mind. I knew I should write it off as a pleasant encounter and leave, but I was anchored to the parking lot.
I wondered, "Did I miss my chance? Did I pass up an opportunity to meet this lovely woman? Fuck!"
I closed my eyes and was sitting there pushing my thumb and forefinger into my eye sockets when I heard a sound.
TAP. TAP. TAP.
"Hello." TAP. TAP.
As I turned in the direction of the sound, releasing my fingers from my eyes, my vision, still blurry from the pressure, attempted to make a shadowy figure standing at my window. The sunlight behind the head created a halo and made it difficult to make out a face. I rolled the window down and a form leaned onto the windowsill.
"Hi, I was wondering if you could give me directions? I have to get to the Turnpike."
"Holy shit." I thought, it was the woman from the store. "Holy shit. She's talking to me."
"Do you have a map I could look at?"
"Yea." I answered like a twelve year old.
"Do you mind if I get in and we can look at it together?"
"Uh, yea. Okay. Hop in." Hop in, what a funkin' jerk off.
The woman went around to the other side, opened the door and slid in the truck. Cripes she was gorgeous. She was better looking close up. I'd guess she was about forty. She was real cool.
"Do you mind if I ask you something?" she said.
"No," I responded like a dork.
"Were you stalking me in the store?"
"No, honestly, I wasn't," I responded like a kid with his hand caught in the cookie jar.
"Really? Well, I was flattered thinking you had your eyes on me."
"Well, to tell you the truth, I was looking at you a little," I said relieved.
"That's good, because I was looking at you hoping you would talk to me."
