It was going to be one of those days, I knew as I walked into work today. As soon as I got in I heard people moaning about the new girl, about her being irritating, about her stopping them while they were busy to ask them things, and generally going around talking to everyone in turn. Did she actually get any work done herself?
I laughed to myself as I walked away to my office. I knew who they were talking about, I hadn't had the misfortune to meet her yet though. I knew Abbie was young, and it was her first proper job, but I put it down to people finding something to moan about as we were very busy at this time of year.
A few days later, I finally met Abbie. I'd gone for my dinner break and without looking up from my phone I heard raised voices and the person sharing my table got up and walked away. I heard the chair move along the floor, and someone sitting down.
"Hi, I'm Abbie, I'm new here. What's your name? What do you do? Can you show me how to use the coffee machine please?"
I glanced up to see a petite blonde girl sitting opposite me, a huge smile on her face. Her hair was tied up in several little pigtails held up with a hairband on each one, making her look younger than she was. She was quite plain looking, with pale lips and brown doe eyes.
I looked around the room to see people looking over and sniggering.
"I'm Dave, I'm one of the managers, and do you always ask so many questions?" I replied.
"Sorry, my mum tells me off for that, and for talking a lot. do you mind me asking questions? I'm sorry if you do," Abbie asked.
I raised my hand to shush her.
"I'm in the middle of something and eating my dinner now. Let me know when you want a coffee though," I told her.
"Can you do one now please, I only have ten minutes," she asked.
I walked her over to the machine and showed her the different buttons for sugar and milk choices. All the while I was showing her she didn't stop talking over me. She sat back down with her coffee and I picked my things up to leave. I had another ten minutes myself but couldn't concentrate so went back to work early.
The next couple of days the same thing happened, I'd be having my dinner and she'd come and sit at the table with me, and start asking questions immediately. I tried not to let it bother me, but I could see where the others were coming from.
The following day, Friday, there were only two of us in the staff room when Abbie came in. Despite plenty of seats being available, she sat opposite me again. Again she started asking questions, and then the other person left, just myself and Abbie were left in the room.
"Do you like me?" she asked abruptly.
"Yeah, you seem okay," I answered.
"I thought so, you're the only person here who doesn't walk away when I bother them," she said.
"You know asking so many questions gets a little annoying after a while don't you?" I said to her.
"I know, I'm sorry. But if you ask questions you learn things, and it's always good to learn new things right? she asked.
"Yeah, I suppose it is," I answered.
"It's also good to try new things out, to see if you like them," she said, then cut herself off from continuing.
She blushed a little as she said it, trying to look away but I'd noticed.
"You should wear your hair down sometime, it would suit you," I told her.
She had her hair all tied up in a scruffy bun on the top of her head today.
"Oh, and happy 18th birthday," I told her.
She smiled broadly, and reached over and put a hand on my arm.
"Oh thanks, that's nice of you. How did you know?" she asked.
"I had to do the paperwork for payroll, I remember your date of birth off it," I replied.
As I'd said it one of the other managers came to the door and called me over. I went over to talk to them and then took my seat again. Abbie had a huge grin on her face again. I went to check my phone, which was on the left side of the table. That was odd as I'm right-handed. I must have knocked it when I got up. Abbie smiled broadly and said she needed to go back now, and she said we could talk later. She breezed out of the door, looking over her shoulder to see if I was watching. she smiled as she saw I was, and I noticed her cute pert arse swaying as she jiggled her hips as she moved away.
I was sitting at home that night, idly watching TV, when my phone pinged. I'd had a text message which simply said "Got your number, hope you don't mind?"
I hadn't got the number saved, so had to message back to ask who it was.
"Oops, silly me, it's Abbie," the reply said.
"When did you get my number?" I asked.
"Dinner time when you went to talk," she sent back.
Now I know why my phone had moved.
"You said you liked me right? Can I send you a picture?" she sent.
I was expecting a picture of her cat or dog, maybe of her family of her and her boyfriend, I wasn't expecting what I got. She was sitting at the end of her bed, wearing a black dress with a v shape cutout that plunged almost to her belly button. Her arms squeezed her tits together, making them look too big for her frame, the dress barely covering her thighs.
"Do you like my hair down then?" she asked.
I had to look again, I hadn't even noticed her hair. She'd straightened it and it framed her face beautifully, showing off her big brown eyes surrounded by pale blue eyeshadow to highlight them, and crimson red lipstick accentuated the look. I felt the blood rush to my groin.
"Yes, I said I thought it would suit you like that," I politely replied.
"Thanks. Can I send you another picture?" she sent.
