"You guys sure do go through a lot of desserts."
"Well...a building this big, usually it is somebody's birthday."
"I guess...this is my third trip this week."
"I noticed...I mean, yeah, I saw you yesterday dropping something off."
"Oh yeah, somebody got a crapload of pies."
"Lucky guy. Must be love."
"I guess...we do have really good pies."
"Apparently so."
"Apparently? You've never..."
"No, I mean, yes. Your pies are great."
"Well, thank you, haha."
"You're, ah...welcome..."
"Well, I better get back...more baked goods need baking."
"Great, I mean...I'll see you next time."
"I hope so."
Idiot...
I'm a complete and utter idiot. She's just some random girl doing her job and I'm blabbing on about...pie. I mean, I'd talk to her about anything, but...shit. Those eyes and mouth...wow. i'm sure she must get hit on by everyone she delivers to. I must seem like such a douche trying to chat her up at work in the middle of the day.
I didn't get much more work done that day. I kept going over the conversation in my head. How stupid i must've sounded and how unlikely it was that we'd ever cross paths again. I had lied about seeing her the first time...just didn't want to seem like a stalker. Of course now I'm a liar already so...fuuuuuuck.
That night, I cracked open a beer and tried to forget about the day. The more thoughts I tried to erase about that horrible awkward conversation, the more it stuck in my head and soon I could hear her voice and smell the goods she was carrying and see her face above the stack of boxes in her arms, her wavy hair dropped in front of her eyes, and the way her face scrunched as she tried to blow it out of the way. I wanted to reach out and brush it to the side for her, but...
I could feel my dick stirring in my shorts. My free hand casually rested there, but my thumb had already begun to slide along the stiffening flesh. I took a final chug of my beer and went upstairs and jumped in the shower. I had to get off of this and move on and a cold bracing shower seemed like the perfect distraction. After a few minutes, all I could think about was the cold water beating on my skin and I stood there, taking it for a few minutes until finally i shut the water off, wrapped a towel around me, and curled up on the bed to fall asleep.
The next day, I was on my way out to my car for lunch when i heard someone shout, "How's the pie today?" Glancing around, I couldn't see anyone for all the cars still in the lot until I saw a hand waving over the back of a truck with a sign on it.
"Oh...hey. Ha, I don't know...little early for pie for me, haven't even had lunch yet."
"It's never too early for pie, man."
"True enough, I do like pie."
"Well, do you like pizza?"
"It is a pie after all, isn't it?"
"Smart man. If you're heading to lunch now, I have to drop the truck off, but I was going to take my lunch after, there's a place right next door, if you're interested."
"Sure, of course. I'll just follow you, then?"
"Cool, do keep up."
With that, she hopped in the truck and started it up. My brain couldn't keep up with what was happening. I had spent all last night trying to whip this girl out of my head, only to have her crash back into it and set up camp. I stood there, frozen, for 5 seconds at least, just staring at her as she laughed and tossed her hair behind her ear. Quickly, I fumbled my way into my car and managed to make it out just behind her from the parking lot. It was only a short drive up to the strip center where the bakery was located. Instead of parking out front, she drove the truck behind the end of the building. Not thinking, I followed her around two corners before nearly rear-ending her as she braked to park in some spaces behind the building. She hopped out and came over to my window.
"Well, not what i had in mind, but it's fine. Just park out of the way so the truck can get out. We can go through the store and out the front to the pizza place."
Great...another brilliant move. I swung my car into a space and got out as though it were natural to go through the employee entrance of every store. She rattled through some keys and opened the door, letting me in before locking the door behind. I looked at her, quizzically.
"There's no latch, just the deadbolt. So that's the only way to keep it shut. I'll have to let you out after we eat."
"Oh, awesome." I couldn't let on how much I knew I was being an ass. I just couldn't focus on anything for some reason, and here she was, leading me around, so I followed. The store was dark and quiet, but I could smell the heady scent of bread and warm fruits and sugar. "So, where is everyone?"
