I'm running late... I know that my supervisor, Martin, called me into the office five minutes before my shift was supposed to end on purpose. He is always being a jerk like that. Especially since it was just to go over the tasks he wanted me to complete tomorrow, along with my regular duties. Everything he could have explained at the beginning of my shift when I started the next day. That was the whole reason for our half hour shift crossovers. I have seen the way he looks at me when he doesn't think he is being seen. What a creep. Ugh, as if.
I fluff my long blonde hair and shrug myself into a leather jacket over my pink scrubs. Shit, it was already after 10:30 pm, and Joe, was sitting for me and would be waiting so he could head home. Joe had known me for 5 years now, since high school graduation, when I and his best friend Jesse started dating. I was lucky that he was available to babysit on short notice. I knew that he did it because of me.
I was supposed to get off at 10:00 pm, but jerk Martin had to delay me. I hurry out to my vehicle and turn the key in the ignition, just waiting a couple minutes for the engine to warm. I apply a coat of berry lipgloss tinted the softest shade of raspberry on my plump lips. I was so ready to get home.
I pull up to the house and get out of the vehicle. Tonight was the night. I knew that Jesse had taken on another shift and would not be home until late. Joe was my babysitter tonight, watching my 3 year old Larry. I always knew I could count on him to step in to watch Larry on short notice. Just thinking about Joe had my heart beating faster and the tingle of butterflies flitting in my stomach. I knew that he was attracted to me... the way his eyes followed me as I moved about the house, how they lingered on my curves. He has never attempted to touch me, or made any moves on me whatsoever. It was time for me to make the moves.
I rub my sweaty palms down the front of my scrub pants and move to the door of the house, unlocking it and entering. I call out softly, not wanting to wake Larry if he was asleep.
"Hi, I'm home."
Joe was sitting in the living room with a sleeping Larry draped over his lap.
"So how did things go?" I ask.
"Pretty good. Larry just went to sleep around half an hour ago. We were playing lego tower, and he was Godzilla. Then he stole my fedora."
I notice the fedora still perched on top of my son's head. "That's good. I am glad you two seemed to have fun. I will see if I can get the fedora back for you tomorrow. I'm just going to change out of my uniform. Do you want to tuck Larry into his bed?"
Without waiting for his answer, I move down the hallway to my room. I leave the door a little ajar, so that I can hear Joe as he moves to my son's room with Larry in his arms to gently lay him down on his race car bed.
I pull the uniform top over my head and display my little leopard print push up bra with the lace detail on the cups. I shimmy the pants over my hips, and stand in the matching leopard print bikini panties.
"Did you want anything to drink, Joe?" I call through the open bedroom door.
I am listening for his reply as I contemplate my plan once again. I would just see where this would go. I shrug on a short hot pink robe, thankful that my underclothes look pretty sexy.
I make my way back into the living room to see that Joe has already returned to his seat on the couch.
"Can I grab you a Strawberry-rita thingy?" I ask as I move towards the kitchen.
My hands are trembling and I clasp them tightly to steady them. Just act natural... you can't find anything to wear, so you are in a robe until you grab your clothes from the laundry, I tell myself silently.
"Sure, I'll join you for one before I head home. You can tell me how your day went."
I grab a couple of drinks from the fridge and bring them out. I hand one to Joe and plop myself down on the couch beside him, allowing the robe to display my upper thighs and gape a bit to show more cleavage than what would be considered appropriate. I turn to him with a bit of smile and see how his eyes are glued to the skin that I am showing. I know that my plan is going to work.
I gently touch his arm, and say, "would you like to touch?"
