I parked the car without thinking really. " Just pick a spot and squeeze in!" my mind screamed at me. I was tired from a restless morning of creative thinking and was looking for an outlet.
I walked between cars and stepped over lines and cracks like a juvenile. The red framed glass of Chapters spelled relief and coffee. Tucked inside the corner of the bookstore, was Starbucks. It was one of my favourite hideouts. I could grab a java, a good book and a good dose of imagination. The doors swung open automatically which I appreciated. I was in no mood for the ordinary mundane things of life.
Waiting in a line of three seemed a chore, but I took the time to soak in the scenery. The older man with the cigar unlit, seemed engrossed in his antique tractor book, and the aging woman in the corner was trying to double as a university student. I thought I recognized her from campus. Perhaps she took one of the courses I taught but in hadn't noticed her.
The girl behind the counter was a pleasant surprise. Her smile was genuine and her eyes had life in them. This promised to be a good café-mocha. "Make it a large, please." I finished my order.
"A bad day?" she asked.
"Not that bad," I replied with a slight smile. At the same time as being interesting, she was mildly attractive. Her olive complexion suggested a Latino-Chinese heritage. Her hands were well manicured, and her manner was gracious. As she returned from the mocha machine, I couldn't help but notice the gracious curves of her body. She was not the typical skinny model type. She had well-carried form.
Her uniform veed at the neck and cupped her large breasts in a non-arrogant way. The mocha machine had spotted her blouse with some dark circles appropriately near where I imagined her dark chocolate nipples were hidden. The outline of their hardening form was visible in the tight cotton.
She blushed as I lifted my gaze and realized that she had caught me staring. I blushed too at the thought of the growing bulge in my suit pants. I reached into my pocket and took out a 20, trying to disguise an adjustment of my hard member. It was a little uncomfortable thinking that my eight inches was standing up in public. I tend to be shy and a little reserved. As I handed her the money, I looked up to her face, only to discover that she was fixed on my pants. Almost startled, she quickly took the money.
Now her blush was rising from the vee of her blouse and her cheeks turned rosy red. Her nipples were not hiding their hardness now. Nearly perfectly placed, they were clearly visible, and growing each move she made. She appeared to be wearing a type of shelf-bra that barely covered her nipples. The more they grew, the more the bra line showed up. "I'm sorry," she said, "Have you got anything smaller?"
"I beg your pardon?" I returned...got a little off guard,
"Oh my god!" she choked. "I didn't mean...um...I ...I don't have any change."
She was absolutely crimson. I was laughing inside but didn't want to let her off the hook that easily.
"I am sorry, I only come in large." I replied in all seriousness. "But I believe you would do better to keep your mind on coffee and not the size of the customers."
"Ummm, I'm really sorry...I didn't mean that..."
"It's okay...I know what you meant." I let her off as I laughed out loud. "I knew what you meant."
I handed her a five and some change. Her hand brushed over mine and shook. Was it with fear, embarrassment or excitement. I couldn't tell. In a second she gave me back a two for the five, and my mocha.
I turned and headed for the fiction section. I rather liked the outside-the-box things that were showing up on the shelf these days. And I needed to shelter the growing tent in my pants. The vision of her deep blush and hard silhouetted nipples wasn't helping things any. The mocha was warm and welcome and the pleasant interaction at the counter had improved my outlook on life. But nothing could have made be believe what was about to happen.
I crossed the floor of the coffee shop and entered Chapters. Ignoring some of the glances I carefully sipped on my mocha. There was something subtly sensual about chocolate and coffee mixed. As I walked between the tall shelves stuffed with books, I was aware that my own body hadn't totally recovered from the Starbucks girl. She was quietly amazing in her own way.
Finally I was arriving into my familiar domain. The fiction and science fiction blurred into the romance without any noticeable division. I tended towards the fiction and fantasy fiction part of the shelves. I started letting the titles of various books grab my attention as I slowed my pace. I was at home here. And relaxed. I took the time to adjust my subsiding member without too much fear of being noticed. Not many people came back here.
Just as my hand reached my crotch and slid over my swollen hardness, something else caught my ear. It was an odd sound coming from one aisle over. I paused, unaware that my hand was still resting on my cock. Suddenly my own anatomy told me what I was hearing, It was the soft moaning of a female voice...not out of control, but definitely in some early moments of light passion. I decided to investigate quietly. Leaving my spot, I took the first book that I saw off the shelf for protection. I stuck my finger in the pages and began to approach the end of the row. The sounds were slightly louder now, and intermittent. In between, I could hear the rustle of a page turning. I was puzzled.
I reached the end of the row and rounded the corner slowly, glancing only at the books on the wall. I carefully paid no attention to anything except the books. I didn't want to give anything away. I stopped and glanced to the right. That was when I saw the surprise of my life. She was so beautiful. Filipino I think. On the floor beside her were a couple of books that appeared to be about rabbits and in her hand a book that I could not distinguish.
She was wearing a short summer dress, with light straps. It was buttoned all the way down the front but the top two buttons were not fastened. Her right hand was holding her book open which she was reading intensely. Her left hand was poised at her undone buttons, lightly caressing her collar bone with graceful finger tips. It didn't appear she was wearing a bra.
