This is my second story and I must thank Sexychik69 without whose help you would not be reading any stories from me.
My name is Glenn and I have worked in a major insurance company since leaving school almost 16 years ago. All those years ago life was quite different, I was a young and single bloke, so I took advantage of the more laid back attitudes that seemed to prevail. There has been a fairly large turnover in staff and as I have moved from section to section I can look back on several experiences with colleagues. I previously had told you about my experience with my boss Jenny, well it wasn't long before I 'encountered' another colleague.
The meeting had been like all of the usual monthly team meetings that I had grown accustomed to since joining the company. We had discussed the targets, performance and any gripes. If I were to be honest most of it went above my head, then out of the blue an item that had been added to any other business quickly grabbed my attention.
"Finally, we are getting an additional body to join the team. Before any of you get too excited it will only be a temporary measure for now. Should it prove to be beneficial I have been promised that we will recruit at least one new person. Therefore we must make it work," our manager Jenny told the team.
"Who are we going to get?" chimed in Wendy, who was the chief instigator of complaints and whinging. "My money is that we will get a piece of 'deadwood' from upstairs who they are desperate to get rid of."
"Firstly, I don't want any negativity with this. You have all been telling me we need more staff for the last six months. Now we have the chance to prove you guys were right so this must go very smoothly. Secondly, the person involved will not be from this office. In fact she's coming down from our equivalent team at Head Office on Monday for two weeks." The last thing Jenny said suddenly hit me, a new female colleague at last something interesting has come out of a team meeting.
Monday arrived and there was an air of anticipation in the office, the experienced members of the team knew we needed to look good when anyone from Head Office was around while I, as the only unattached male on the team, was expectant for an entirely different reason. When reception called Jenny's office a palpable hush feel over the section. She was gone a matter of minutes but I swear no one moved from their desks and hardly a word was said.
Jenny walked through the doors accompanied by a young lady who could only have been a couple of years older than me. "Ladies and gentleman," Jenny announced to us all "I would like to introduce you to Caroline who as you are aware will be with us for the next two weeks. I expect you all to make her feel welcome and as much a part of the team as any of you"
"Hello, pleased to meet you all" Caroline very confidently said looking at each and every one of us. She stood there in a smart business suit, white blouse, black heels looking ultra confident and extremely sexy. Her long black hair fell straight down to the middle of her back. She remained motionless in front of us and I could sense I was staring at her.
Jenny later brought her round each person giving a brief introduction and we exchanged a few words but for the life of me I could not tell you what we said as I was transfixed by Caroline's deep dark hazel eyes. Later when Caroline went to lunch the girls took the opportunity to tease me mercilessly. "Hey, Glenn I don't think Caroline noticed you mentally undressing her earlier!" sniped Wendy.
"Wendy please don't be jealous, I can assure you that were you naked I definitely would mentally dress you!" I laughed back.
"Touché" laughed Sally "Glenn, I am not sure if we preferred you better when you simply blushed at any of our comments?"
That afternoon I was in the rest area making a coffee when Sally came up behind me
"Boo…… Make us a cup, Glenn." She handed me her cup and plonked herself down in a chair. She leant forward and picked up a magazine.
"So tell me Sally, exactly what did your last servant die of?" I said laughing as made our coffee. "Here you go and I do not want to hear it's not quite as good as
the drink you make"
"Cheers Glenn" She said as she put down her mag. I sat next to her and we both started to drink our coffees. "So honestly, what did you make of Caroline?"
"I think she seems nice" I replied.
Sally laughed "Imagine I'm one of your male friends. What do you make of Caroline?" She looked deep into my eyes and smiled. I knew straight away what she meant.
"I see I tell you and then everyone takes the piss for the next two weeks"
"No way Glenn." She leaned forward and touched the top of my thigh. "I won't say a word I promise. I think a lot of you Glenn and I honestly think of you as a mate. So why can't we chat. You are cute and funny, who knows if I wasn't with Paul…… well anyway, I am with Paul and I want us to be good friends"
I was aware that for once I hadn't blushed. "Thanks Sally I appreciate that. If you were a bloke I would let you know I would love to take Caroline out."
"That all!" she laughed.
"I'd love to shag her of course," we both laughed.
"You never know Glenn, she's a girl from London down on the coast for a couple of weeks. What have you got to lose? If you ask her out and you have fun good, if she says no she's gone soon so where's the problem?"
"Guess so," I said thinking it over. "Anyway we best be getting back or Wendy will tell everyone I am taking you up against the coffee machine!" We both laughed and returned to our desks.
That week I never really had chance to speak with Caroline and the time was never right and before I knew it Friday had arrived. A suitcase accompanied Caroline into the office as she was back to London for the weekend. I thought I had blown my chances. The following Monday I was at my desk when my telephone rang. Picking it up I realised the call was from Jenny. "Glenn, can you come into my office for a moment and please try to be subtle."
I tapped the door and was called in. "Thanks Glenn sit down I need to have a quick chat with you. I'll be brief its about Caroline, as you know she went back home at the weekend and returning for another week has made her realise how lonely she is down here. Now you remember how you felt when you arrived here?"
