It was one of those jobs that didn't require much mental agility, just answer the phone and help someone out with the software. There's me (Bruce), a bunch of college kids and a couple of older ladies. Of course, I'm older too so I can't complain.
One of the older ladies, Lora was very friendly, smart and a good laugh, and we frequently found ourselves taking breaks and eating lunch together. I have to say for an older lady she was in great shape, and she loved to flirt, but she never crossed the line and never suggested anything inappropriate.
As we got to know each other better we had an occasional after work drink, we are both married so made sure we always included others and never had more than a couple. Even so I did find myself chatting to Lora most of the time as it was just so easy with each other.
One Friday night we were in the pub after work and found that both our partners were out of town for the night, so it just seemed to make sense to have dinner together as we both liked Indian and neither of our partners did. We finished up the drinks and headed to the restaurant, no one else could join us.
The restaurant was quiet and we found a nice table in an even quieter corner. We had a few more drinks with dinner and I think we were both a little drunk, but neither of us wanted to have such a fun night end so we headed back to my place for a nightcap.
