Call me Ishmael. That's a joke. Actually, the joke is my parent's. They had a sense of humor. It's my actual name. If you don't believe me, you can look at my NYC Driver's license. Anyway, this story ain't about me, it's about Angel.
She works with me in the book store. Somedays I will see her. Climbing up the ladders in the store. Stretching to put books back on the shelf. Her red hair like a morning sunrise. Wearing a short, light green skirt and black heals. She is like the ballerina of books. The way she climbs up the ladder. The way she lifts her foot while she is stretching to reach the shelf. Her calves firm and curvaceous, her white thighs a highway to a dream.
Hey, I know what you're thinking. This is librarian fantasy. Well, no. We work in and a bookstore. So, no. Duh. And two, she don't wear no glasses. Anyway, I digress.
It was early. Only one decent coffee shop open in Burlington, VA fuckin early. I arrived at the bookstore and locked the door behind me because I don't want customers walking in before we open. I am carrying my hot cup of coffee and go to the backroom to put my stuff in my locker. I pass through the door way, and there is Angel. She is up on another ladder we have in the storage area. Putting away books. I'm thinking. Our boss isn't even here yet. Why you working?
"Ishmael, can you be a doll and hand me that book?"
So, I do. When I hand her the book and she is putting it away I can't help but notice I can see right up her dress. She is wearing white cotton panties with lace that are dividing her sweet white ass. I know I shouldn't look. It's not a nice thing to do. But to me, it's like someone leaving money out on the New York City subway.
