Tonight was the night! Jim stood in front of the bathroom mirror making sure everything was perfect for his date this evening. He was feeling really good... and just a little bit nervous too.
It had been 6 weeks since he had first laid eyes on her. He remembered it like it was just yesterday. He had been at work getting everything ready for the product photo shoot in the studio. He heard the studio door open behind him and then his boss' voice as she gave the usual tour-guide speech and he assumed she was just showing another client all the "pretty buttons and lights" to try and sell the client on their technical prowess.
Jim was on the floor under a table setting up a display when they came into the room. He was kind of hoping they wouldn't see him so he didn't have to make nice and suck up to another clueless suit but no luck. He heard their footsteps getting closer and then his boss saying, "Hey Jim, you got a minute? There's someone here I want you to meet."
Jim looked up from what he was doing and then saw two pair of legs from underneath the table. One he immediately recognized as his boss. The other made his breath catch in his throat. They were phenomenal! They were beautiful, shapely, and accentuated by a really great pair of black high heels and dark nylons. Jim quickly scrambled out from under the table; he wanted to see what the rest of the woman attached to those fabulous legs looked like.
And he wasn't disappointed. She was maybe a few years younger than Jim. She was fit looking and wore a professional but sexy looking, in Jim's opinion, business suit with a rather short skirt. Her hair was dark, about shoulder length and framed one of the most beautiful faces he had ever seen!
His boss introduced her as Angie, the new sales assistant. Jim tried as hard as he could to remain cool, calm and together but it was really hard. He had been struck by how beautiful she was and found himself a little tongue-tied. He recovered pretty quickly though and shook her hand.
"Welcome to the fun house!" said Jim with a smile, "If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask. I'd be glad to help out any way I can."
Angie shyly smiled back and replied in the sweetest voice, "Thanks! I'll take you up on that!"
Jim's boss then bade him farewell and guided Angie to the door to continue the tour. Jim just stood there in the studio, watching them leave. He couldn't take his eyes off of Angie. He was stunned by how gorgeous this new woman was and how apparently sweet she seemed to be too.
As they walked out the door, Angie turned to take another look back at Jim and saw him watching her retreat. She smiled and gave him a quick wave which he returned with a smile of his own. "This was going to be interesting." He thought.
Over the next few weeks, they had gotten to know each other a little better. Angie spent a lot of time in the studio scheduling shoots with Jim, and Jim made a valiant attempt to spend as much time in the office area as possible so as to be able to see more of Angie. They both seemed to hit it off pretty well.
It took awhile to break through the shy girl shell but Angie started to feel more comfortable with the everyday routine, the personnel in the office, and especially Jim. He was pleasantly surprised how smart and especially sarcastically witty Angie was and she was thrilled with the way Jim could always make her laugh, no matter how things were going or how she was feeling.
It had taken Jim awhile to get his nerve up but he had finally asked Angie out on a date. After a short silence that seemed to last forever... she agreed.
