This continues the story of my relationship with Wendy, the girl who had been employed as cover for one of my co-workers who had gone on maternity leave, and who I had wanted from the first moment I saw her when she was shown around the office during her interview. Despite her having a boyfriend, we had flirted much in the office, and in the first chapter we had made love under the stars. In the second chapter she initially rejected my approached to become my girlfriend but following an argument with her guy she split up with him and ended up meeting up with me as a shoulder to cry on, which led to us having sex again.
This picks up the story the day after, when she left her cum stained panties from our fun the night before in my desk drawer for me, with a note inviting me to ask her again to be my girlfriend.
Reading her note I desperately wanted to go and speak to her alone and ask her, but the opportunity just didn't come up that morning. Whenever I went downstairs the other girls were around, still trying to find out who the mystery woman was that had been putting a smile on my face. At the time when she would usually go to the kitchen to make drinks for everyone Andrew, one of the other engineers and my best mate at work, was hanging around chatting to her.
Lunch time came, and she had already arranged to go into town with Andrew and one of the other girls, and as I had to go out to a client meeting that afternoon I couldn't tag along this time.
I messaged her, asking of she was free that evening. 'Afraid not, sorry. Some stuff I have to do with John. There's some of my stuff at his place and I've got to go and get it back'
This worried me. Having heard he could be violent or abusive the thought of her going there by herself filled me with dread. 'Do you want me to come with you for some morale support, and to stop him kicking off again' I messaged her.
'No, if you come with me it will probably make things worse' she replied.
She was probably right, but I was still concerned, until she followed it up with 'My dad is coming with me. John won't try anything if dad is with me.'
That settled my mind a bit, although I was still a little concerned. "Txt me when you get home so I know you're alright." It seemed like a good way of putting my mind at ease, but if anything, the wait to hear any positive news from her was torture.
It was about 11pm before I finally received a message. 'Sorry it's so late. We had a nice chat, he was different. He's accepted it's over but wants to stay friends.'
I wasn't sure I was completely comfortable with her staying friends with him, but I didn't want to appear controlling or jealous like John had done for fear of putting her off.
'Glad it went ok. Missed you today, hope to see you more tomorrow' I sent in reply, opting to keep it simple.
'Can see me more tomorrow. Pick me up on the way in the morning if you want.'
'Ok, I'll pick you up just after 8. You know the girls will talk about us coming in together tho.'
'Haha! Yeah, they will. Will keep them busy tho'
I fell asleep before I could reply to that message, waking early the next morning, unusually eager to leave for work. Picking Wendy up on route wasn't much of a detour. My usual route took me close to her place anyway, so it was no hassle to pick her up, plus it would be good to see her, and funny to get the girls talking. The only problem was that her house was only 5 minutes from the office, so I wouldn't have her to myself for long, but it was better than nothing.
As I got to her house she came straight out and was waiting at the end of the garden path before I'd turned the car around, and got straight in, giving me a kiss on the cheek before we set off. After the usual friendly good mornings had been said, and I started singing along to a song on the radio, she looked at me and said "So, that question you asked me the other day"
"About going out with me?"
"Yeah. Do you want to ask me that again"
"Definitely. Will you go out with me?"
"Yes" she beamed in reply. And with that I guess we had officially become boyfriend and girlfriend.
As we pulled into the car park, we both agreed that it was probably best to keep it quiet at work for a while, not least because of the talking to we'd already been given by one of the directors a few weeks earlier when all that had happened was no more than a little flirting between friends. Nevertheless, we quickly kissed before getting out of the car -- after first checking nobody else was around of course -- and entered the building together.
"You two arriving together? People will talk you know" said Claire, with a tone that suggested she suspected something between the two of us. She was on to something of course, but that morning we could honestly deny anything untoward had happened as I really had only given Wendy a lift. Our denials were greeted with a "yeah yeah, sure I believe you". She clearly suspected something, but she also wasn't sure.
As the morning went on Wendy and I exchanged a few messages, joking about how much Claire was quizzing her, not just about whether she and I were an item, but also approaching from the angle of if I had spoken about who I was seeing if it wasn't her. She also informed me in one message that if I was free at lunch there was something she needed some help with, if she didn't mind. I had nothing else planned, so was happy to help if I could. We did the usual me going out a few minutes after she had - which looking back now I am sure must have been noticed (I've since worked with another couple who met at work and regularly did that then wondered how I worked out they were seeing each other in secret, so now I can see how obvious it was) -- and I picked her up at the end of the road again.
"So then, where to?" I asked, giving her a quick kiss as she got in the car.
"Back to mine" she replied. "It shouldn't take long, and I've got to be back at 1 to let Claire go for her lunch"
