As I gazed from the entrance of the parking garage to the marble floor of the catwalk, all I could think of was the heels I was wearing. Being a pharmaceutical representative, I had to attend many a conference and meet with local doctors and fellow nurses. The convention this quarter was in a suburb of Chicago, and this meeting would allow me the opportunity to reconnect with fellow colleagues, maintain good working relationships with current buyers, and try to attract new buyers. These heels would do the job -- they were my lucky heels, and many a deal had been signed in boardrooms across the country with me in my business suit, wearing these beauties. Unfortunately, the stairs of my building had taken its toll, and now my lucky heels were a bit on the loose side.
The catwalk, overlooking the hundreds of zooming cars of the roadway below, was the first challenge of the day. The marble reflected like glass and I took a deep breath, trying to curb the hesitation of my journey. As I stepped onto its veined coolness, a feeling of adventure washed over me...this was going to be an extraordinary day! The clicking of my 4.5", accountant-blue, spiked heels echoed throughout the long corridor, and the feeling of give caused me to have a heightened sense of position, tension and timing. The feelings, the sounds, the sense of vulnerability were all quite arousing, and as I crossed the marble water, I breathed a sign of relief that my favorite heels had succeeded in navigating the treacherous path, but I also felt a heightened sensual tension.
While it did not show through the layers of my business suit, my breathing was deep and full, my breasts rose and fell in a way that stretched the cups of their bondage to full capacity, and I could feel my hardened nipples rubbing, trying to poke through the lace of their confinement. Walking into one of the many ballroom/conference rooms of the Center, I signed in, applying my nametag to my lapel, and found my seat for my overcoat and briefcase -- my mission was to mingle, to network, to make every moment a moment for people to remember and to market the products that would affect an industry. My mission was not to sit.
Hours went by like minutes, and friends, colleagues and clients old and new placed more orders and had many questions that I was able to answer. The end of Day 1 was approaching and, indeed, it had been a day to remember. My lucky heels had carried me through the miles I walked in the ballroom, and my mind lingered for just a few seconds on what it would have been like to dance in this room -- no doubt, my poor heels might not survive a twirl on this surface -- walking had proved to be possible, but I was ever mindful of the possibility that they would snap at any moment.
