I had been working at the garden centre for about two years and over that time had become friendly with a lot of my fellow colleagues. I was especially friendly with a number of my female co-workers and was friendly with Anna the garden centres secretary.
Recently on cigarette breaks Anna and I had been discussing her fish pond. Anna's boyfriend is a really wealthy guy and they have a huge house apparently and a huge pond. Anna was telling me about her pond one fag break and was telling me she wasn't sure about some of the fish being well. I offered to come over and have a look one evening after work if she wanted.
Anna lived about 20 minutes from my house and I offered to come round one evening after I had eaten dinner. We agreed on a time and I took down directions.
When I had eaten and changed I went around Anna's. When I got there Anna answered the door and was wearing a long brown skirt and a white blouse which was open two or three buttons and gave me a good look at her small pert breasts.
I couldn't tell if she was wearing a bra or not at that point. Anna has blonde shoulder length hair, which she wears down. She was about 5 foot four. She smelt lovely that evening.
I'd always found Anna attractive and often wondered what it would be like to shag her. I'd fantasized about shagging her in the store rooms at work.
I was wearing a pair of jeans, smart trainers and a black t-shirt. Anna showed me through her huge house.
"Do you fancy a drink Jon?"
"I'd love a coffee please Anna."
We went to the kitchen where Anna prepared the drinks.
We chatted for a bit and Anna said
"Tony is away on business at the moment"
She had mentioned his conference calls the week before so I guessed he worked high up in a big multi national company. No wonder they had a huge house.
We continued to chat for a bit about work and about her house and that. She mentioned repeatedly about her boyfriend being away a lot and I felt she was a little annoyed with the whole situation.
I asked her
"Is he away for long at a time?"
"On this occasion it's ten days."
"Blimey" I told her, "that's a long time; it must put a strain on your relationship."
"Lots of parts of our relationship suffer but it does provide us with a good life, but..." she said "we try and speak on the phone a lot but certain things can't happen when your partner is the other side of the world a lot. You know?"
I smiled at her and understood what she meant.
"Anyway" she said, breaking the silence. "Shall I show you the pond?"
I followed her through the big French doors and across the lawn to her huge pond. I watched her from behind as we walked and admired her ass. Now Anna is not a slim or fat woman but she does carry a little weight around the middle but her ass was nice I have to say.
She wore ankle boots that had a small heel and she tripped in the grass as I came up alongside her, she held out and I caught her arm to keep her upright.
"Thank goodness there is one man around when I need him"
We laughed and proceeded to the pond. I looked at the fish and decided on a treatment for parasites for her fish: who were showing obvious signs of external parasites.
We stayed at the side of the pond for a minute or two and Anna continued our chat from indoors.
"he has been away for a week so far, I'm glad he is coming home in a few days."
"you must get lonely at night in such a big house."
"Yes" she replied "and the bed is always cold when I go to bed with no-one to warm me up."
"Yeah, you mentioned earlier certain things can't be done with him so far away."
"Don't mention it" she said, "I'll get all lonely when you go. Did you want another coffee Jon?"
"Sure that sounds nice, I'll keep you from being lonely for a bit longer."
"Thanks, it's a Friday night after all."
"Yeah I know. What are we doing without a date on a Friday night?"
"I have an excuse, what's yours?"
"My girlfriends at university" I said.
"Oh, so we both get lonely then?"
"Something like that, my beds cold at night too."
"That coffee will warm you up" she said and started to walk to the house. "Come on." She said.
I followed her and caught up and walked alongside her.
"I'll try not to fall onto you again" she said as we crossed the lawn.
"Its ok, I quite enjoyed it."
"I wasn't throwing myself at you, even though he has been away for a week."
"That's a shame Anna, I'd hoped you were" I said.
I was trying to joke with her of course but I realised I was dead serious really.
"Maybe I should then" she said. She held out her arm and I linked mine around hers as we walked back to the house and across the patio to the French doors.
Anna opened the door for me and I walked in.
I turned as she closed the door.
"Shall I take my shoes off Anna?"
She turned from the doors and looked at me, then walked across to lean against the breakfast bar.
"Well" she said, "I guess that will do as a start." She smiled at me and I smiled back understanding what I thought she meant.
I took off my shoes and saw her watch me as I done so. I finally stood up and thought well fuck it it's now or never.
I walked up to her and she smiled as I reached for her face she grabbed my jeans around the waist and pulled me into her for our first kiss.
