{This story was somewhat difficult to write. There's a fine line between a secret admirer, and some very inappropriate ways of pursuing a woman. I aim to make this story the kind of romantic fantasy a woman would love to have happen}

Friday
Debby looks down at the stack of mail on her desk. The usual stuff-invoices and checks, an office supply catalog, a few pieces of direct mail advertising, and something different. She sets aside the regular mail and focuses on the nice envelope with the wax seal. The paper is very attractive, obviously expensive, it's sage colored and has a cottony feel. Her name is on the front, hand-written in black ink, very neatly and with a precision that conveys intelligence. She slides her letter opener inside a seam and it slices through the paper. Inside she finds one page of stationary. She unfolds it and breathes a hint of cologne. She lifts the letter to her nose and smells a very masculine scent, spicy and aromatic. She envisions a man in a tuxedo with this scent, very classy. She's finds herself curious as she Focuses on the words:
Debra,
I have been admiring you for some time. I think you are the most beautiful woman in the world. We have met before, but only briefly. Allow me a chance to win your affections. I would like to take you to dinner one week from today--the finest restaurant in town. I will suprise you with something nice each day next week leading up to Friday. I will give you instructions on when and where we will meet for dinner. My identity will be revealed then.
Warmly,
YSA
Deb chest heaves and a warmth fills her blushing chest. Her mind reels imagining all the possibilities. Who could this be? She thinks of a few men she finds attractive and smiles, pondering, hoping. She grabs her purse and finds a mirror, she powders her nose and admires her face. Romantic thoughts fill her mind as she sees herself in the company of a handsome man catering to her every need-- A man consumed by her beauty, and eager to please. Yeah, I am worthy of this she concludes. I wonder what he'll do next....

Monday
Deb wheels her chair up to her desk and sets her purse underneath. The weekend was nice, but end of month bookwork needs completing, and people will want paychecks too, so it's back to work. Her thoughts of the Secret Admirer only crossed he mind occasionally over the weekend, but staring at the stack of unopened mail from the weekend she begins to wonder. she rifles through the stack of envelopes quickly....no.....nope.....nuthin.....Ah Ha!there's the sage colored stationary. She lifts the envelope to her nose and breathes in the masculine scent. Setting aside the rest of the mail, Deb slides a fingernail through the wax seal and the flap lifts nicely. Inside is the perfectly trifolded stationary.
It reads:
Hello Deb,
I am guessing it is Monday and you are just getting back to work. This puts us another day closer to our Friday rendezvous. I'm sure you have some shopping to do. Maybe you would like to have some new perfume to debut that night? Bloomingdales at the Mall of America has a gift certificate in your name waiting behind the Fragrance counter. Go pick out whatever you want.
I look forward smelling it on you Friday.
YSA
Deb folds the letter up neatly and returns it to the envelope. "What makes him so sure I'll show up?" she asks herself. But before putting it away, she closes her eyes and lifts it to her nose. She inhales deeply and imagines a man: handsome and sexy, dressed in a tuxedo, his eyes fixed on hers. They are seated in a padded booth built for two in an elegant restaurant. The room is lit by candles casting a soft glow. He reaches across the table and takes her hand and caresses it softly. His hands are soft, yet strong. She imagines his arms to be muscular and strong; she wonders how good it would feel to be inside them. He squeezes her hand and says she looks beautiful. She smiles and bashfully looks down. She looks up to see him still smiling and studying her face. The diamonds in her earrings beam light in all directions forming a frame around her face. When the waiter approaches and he slides to the center of the booth, you meet him there and review the wine list and appetizers together. You lean forward slightly allowing his arm to fall comfortably behind you. The waiter takes your order and promptly retreats to the kitchen. You turn to face your man with your lips only inches apart. You smell the cologne you have longed to attach to this man. Your lips meet in a soft kiss. You feel a surge of lust rise up inside you as you feel his hand drop to your knee. Your hand meets his and slides it up higher on your thigh.
"I want you" he whispers as you part your legs just slightly. He feels the top of your silk stockings and strums your garter belt.
"In time" you respond....

Tuesday
Another day has arrived and the anticipation continues to build. Deb is constantly reminded by the scent of the new perfume picked out last night at the Mall--so much fun to be able to select 'whatever. The clerk behind the counter smiled knowingly, but wouldn't divulge anything about the man that left the credit at the counter. She attempted to pry it out of her, but in the end all she would say was that you were one lucky lady.
Deb opens the door to the office and marches inside. She feels an extra spring in her step today. She feels prettier than she did yesterday, and can't really explain why. Others around the office seem to pick up on it, and she notices the looks she gets from admiring men and women seem to be a little longer and more frequent than normal. She smiles inside, and slides into her chair. "What will he do today?" she wonders as she reaches for the mail. Close to the top of the stack she finds the letter. She tears it open and reads:
Little things throughout the day
Make me think of you and say
How lucky I am to have found
A woman fit to wear a crown
