Lido Beach in Sarasota Florida is considered a premier beach resort area by the rich. The penthouse floors atop the high rise buildings there generally house two to three separate luxury unit penthouses and they are on a many year waiting list to attain. Once available, it is not uncommon for the new owner to have theirs gutted to bare concrete and built back out to their very own design specifications.
If you're wondering where I'm going with all of this, I'm a General contractor and my construction company is one of two certified by the City to work with the designers and architects to achieve the owner's desired end results on all projects of residential units built on commercial buildings in this area, and this is where my story begins.
After securing all the required approved City Permitting and signed sealed drawings, I stopped in at the project to meet with my Crew Chief Ron for an onsite review of the layout one final time prior to construction on the penthouse we had previously demoed. To keep things simple, (and less disruptive to the businesses and other residents) the building had dedicated an elevator to our project and I remembered stepping in it from the lobby and noticing the cargo blankets that it was lined in, knowing that they were needed for all of the debris that was hauled out and thinking that I wanted clean ones for the new materials to be brought in.
Since it was programmed none stop for the duration of this project, it wasn't long before I was walking out into the center of all the activity on the top floor and I quickly spotted Ron at his potable shop desk. As I approached him I walked past a pair of legs on a stepladder with everything just above the belt up inside a scuttle whole, obviously pulling wire.
Even with the heavy work boots and Carhartt jeans the shape of that ass immediately caught my eye and as I walked on past I caught a whiff of a scent that lead me to believe this was no regular construction worker of mine.
Ron looked up the moment that I walked up on his stand up desk and as I rolled out the approved blue prints I raised my eyes toward that stepladder and asked: "Who does that fine ass belong to?"
Ron immediately responded: "Shhhh! Boss keep your voice down. Chad made a remark like that this morning and she got in his face and poked him in the mouth!"
"And she's still working here?" I replied.
"I'm not getting in the middle of that!" he exclaimed: "We don't need a sexual discrimination complaint." He added: "That settled it with Chad and pretty much everyone else on this crew and to be perfectly honest with you Mr. Swiftt, she actually out shines most of the men. It's as if she has something to prove."
We went over the details and the clouded areas the Architect had grandfathered in on the sprinkled portion of the unit and I walked back past that step ladder looked up and thoroughly checked out that statuesque little ass one more time, all the while wondering what the top half of her actually looked like.
I did a quick walk through checking the chalk-line layout on the floor for the inner walls and on my way out I ran into Chad. There he stood, all six foot six or more,
broad shoulders, narrow waist and a swollen upper lip: "I would ask if you walked into a door." I told him: "But I can see none of them have been delivered yet." I taunted in my gruff pissed off tone.
"It's nothing Boss, don't worry about it, it's nothing at all." He brushed it off and I decided to take his word for it, but all the way back to the office I couldn't get the sight of that well shaped jean clad ass and the Tomboy act of her clipping Chad in the mouth out of my mind. I actually couldn't help but wonder what she would be like in the sack, I real tiger I imagined.
With the noise ordinance on construction projects in Sarasota, I knew that my crews never started earlier than seven a.m. and at six thirty I was on site with a box of fresh bagels and several containers of different flavored cream cheeses. I always make it a point to meet all my new hires and on this job I knew there were three and to be honest, I wanted to see what the top half of that little cutie really looked like.
Actually, to be even more honest, I was hoping she was a dog so I could get past any fantasy I was harboring since seeing those legs and that firm looking butt and experiencing her soft scent. But those hopes were shattered when she boldly walked right up to me and introduced herself totally unprompted: "Mr. Swiftt, hi I'm Bobbie Edmonson and I'm pleased to meet you sir." She initiated in her female voice, but one that was deeper than I had expected.
And then I was looking into the pale blue eyes of a cute thirty something woman. She extended her hand and as I took it in mine, I noticed it to be as firm and rough as any of my crewman: "Peter, you can call me Peter. All of my mmm (I started to say men) coworkers do." I corrected in a stammer.
"Sure Boss, whatever you say." She responded with a quick smile that entered through my eyes and exploded in my chest. "Damn!" I said to myself: "Don't show personal interest in her ... Keep it professional."
"How long have you been on board?" I asked her.
"About a week." She answered: "But I've been doing new electrical construction for about fifteen years now and I'm licensed." She answered as she tried to pull out of my hand. Not wanting to release if quite yet, I squeezed her's a little firmer.
"Welcome." I said: "If there is anything I can do or anything that you need just let us know." And I finally released her hand.
She thanked me, turned around with the box of bagels and headed for the shop desk. I couldn't help but think how pleasant she smelled as I checked her out from behind. Kind of a feminine, soapy, deodorant and fabric softener-like scent. I met the other two new hires but I really didn't remember their names at that point. There was just something about Bobbie that I couldn't shake: Maybe it's the short butch haircut?" I tried to convince myself, or her tuff posture but I knew after seeing her cute face and well proportioned bust line and experiencing that attitude, that it was the total package.
"Swiftt, this is where fools screw up and lose their reputations and businesses and there's no fool like an old fool." I reasoned to myself: "Besides, you have at the very least twenty eight or more years on her." I argued in my brain and that was that.
Some three weeks later on a Friday evening I was standing pool side in my trunks and trusty Marina Jack T-shirt contemplating grilling one at home vs. going out for a steak when I smelled a smoky Bakelite chemical odor coming from the direction of my pool filter pump.
