It's early. Wednesday morning. My coffee is sweet and creamy, but I don't need it today to ready me for the day. As I wait for the shower water to warm, I pull off the T-shirt I wore to bed. I take my time -- my mind is swimming with anticipation of getting to know my new French friend, which lends itself to a long sudsy shower. I envision his hands, as I massage the lavender shower gel into my slippery tits, as I stand under the running water. After 15 minutes of self-massage, I being myself back to reality - I must get going. "Lunch with the girls" is all I can think about now on this spring day.
With that in mind, I exit the shower and dry off. I wrap the soft fluffy towel around my body and begin the search for attire suitable for the office, but more conducive to the leisurely lunch I have planned with that beautiful stranger in the park. I pick out my size four jeans and a white camisole. My jeans are tight, but stylish. I slip on the camisole, shake the dripping water from my hair, and look in the mirror. Damn I look good. I know I look too good for work, but I don't care about professionalism today. I can get away with it -- who is going to complain? I decide to let my hair dry naturally. I'll hate it later, waves upon waves of thick red hair, but I'll deal with that after lunch. A bit of make up to go with my "casual" look, a jacket, and I am ready for the office.
I enter the office and immediately pass Staci, who is already busy at her computer monitor researching, "Hey, girl, remember we're going to lunch today!"
Staci is always bored at work, her talents being totally wasted. "I'm ready now, let's go. And from the looks of it -- you are too! You're bad!" Staci snickers. "What are you talking about?" I ask her with the wicked smile that she understands too well.
"Hmm. Where are we going again?" She asks smiling.
"Just to the park to walk the trail -- it's a beautiful day and I don't want to miss it." I reply.
"Uh, yeah, you don't fool me! I'll see you at noon." Staci rolls her eyes and goes back to her research.
The next three hours are almost agonizing as I continue to watch the clock. I try to concentrate on the report I am working on, but it isn't due for another week. 30 minutes down - 2 ½ hours to go. Oh my God, can time go any slower, I ask out loud to no one in particular. My desk is in the back of the office. Not really an office really, but my cubicle is as confidential as it can be without giving the impression that I am "important." My mind wanders to beautiful places, beautiful moments, that beautiful French smile. I surf the web dreaming of paradises far away.
My boss approaches my desk in the fervor that is "Michael". He is a great guy, but young and "on-track" for promotion. Some days, the deadlines get to him and he can begin to feel a little "overwhelmed". It is my job to keep him settled, calm, and on-time with his presentations and cases. He can be a bear some days, but for the most part, I will do anything for him, because I know he will take me to the top with him.
I checked my calendar yesterday in anticipation of a long-lunch today, and was happy to see that all deadlines were satisfied, but I jumped as Michael drops a file on my desk and exclaims "I need you to do this during lunch."
"I can't." I reply.
"What?! You never tell me "you can't." He stammers in total exasperation.
