I was just taking some completed documents from my cubicle to the central filing cabinet on the far side of the room, when someone from Security came up and said, "Lauren, are you busy right now?"
I said, "No, as a matter of fact. I just finished a bunch of stuff. Why?"
"There's someone here to see you. She says her name is Staci Summers and she's a friend of yours."
"Yes! Go ahead and bring her back, please."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Thank you."
I concentrated on accurately filing the completed paper work so nobody would notice how my heart had suddenly started to beat faster at the very mention of that name.
Staci looked a lot like the actress Tika Sumpter both in face and in build, except her complexion wasn't quite as dark, but her hair was the same shiny jet black color, and long and straight.
Just as I finished filing the last bit of paperwork, she appeared, dressed in a white cami, well-worn faded blue jeans and white leather high heeled sandals, a plastic visitor badge clipped on, hair down, carrying a big black plastic shopping bag that was curiously unmarked.
At her appearance I went up to her and gave her a quick one arm hug, as her arm was full.
The security guy, Alfred, said, "Do you want me nearby or will you be taking things from here, Lauren?"
I easily said, "No, I'll take it from here, Alfred. Thanks."
"Yes, ma'am." He left for the front desk.
Quietly, Staci said, "I'm not getting you in trouble, am I?"
"No, sweetheart, of course not."
"I won't be very long. I just wanted to come by and see you."
"That's very sweet. Thank you."
"No problem. And I must say, you look very pretty."
I smiled and blushed. "Thank you, Staci."
I have to admit, I was liking Staci's compliments, more and more. It didn't matter what I was wearing. If Staci liked it, that was all that mattered.
Today I was wearing tan - a knee length tan dress with cap sleeves and a square neckline, along with matching peep toe pumps. My hair was slicked back in a pert bun with bangs framing my face.
"By the way, you look very pretty, too."
Staci did a one-shoulder shrug. "You're just saying that...."
I just shook my head and smiled.
She squeezed my arm.
I said, "Come over here and step into my cubicle."
"Okay....."
We started walking for my cubicle, which was literally just a few steps away.
As we walked, Staci said, "I get the feeling you don't get many visitors at work."
"That's because I don't."
"Your hubby don't come visit you at work?"
"No, not hardly at all."
"Well then, I'll just have to come visit more often."
I blushed. "I would like that...."
Staci beamed at me. "Oh, you'd like that, would you?"
"Yes, I would..."
We arrived back at my cubicle, where I gestured for Staci to sit across from me, while I went back behind my desk.
Staci settled herself. "So how's your day going?"
"Nothing special, same stuff as always. How about you? I'm guessing you haven't been to work yet?"
"Actually, I'm off today."
"On a Friday?"
"Oh yeah. The manager likes me."
"I'll bet."
"So I went shopping for some things."
"Shopping? Really?"
"Yeah. Wanna see?"
"Just really quick."
She silently put the bag on the desk and held it open for me to see inside.
I stood up, looked in the bag, and quickly stifled a gasp.
Staci had bought not one but two strap-on dildos, one caucasian pink and one african chocolate brown, both about eight breathtaking inches long, plus a bottle of lube, and some other, ah, interesting items.
My hand was still clamped over my mouth.
Staci looked at me with a mischevious gleam in her eyes as she closed the bag.
"Do you think we could use these?"
I coughed. "Uh. Yeah. One or two, anyway."
Staci grinned. "I thought you might say that."
Slowly I sat back down.
Staci wiggled her eyebrows as she put the bag back on the floor next to her. "So. Hubby still on his work trip?"
"Yes. Jack is still away on business." I leaned across my desk and lowered my voice. "Listen..."
"What, baby?"
"I just wanted to let you know .... when my husband gets back, we might not be able to see each other as often as we do now."
"I see."
"Right now, it's not that big a deal, just as long as I'm home when he makes his end of the day call home before he goes to bed in his hotel room. But when he gets back home, meeting as often as we are now is going to be a little tough."
"But you will .... still want to see me? Right?"
I reached over and squeezed her hand. "Of course I will."
Staci smiled happily. "Good. I was wondering."
"Well, don't wonder any more. Like I said, we just might have to go a little longer without each other."
"Sure will amp up the spice factor...."
I felt myself blush. "Yes. It sure will."
Staci stood up. "Well, now that we have that settled, I suppose I should be going."
"And I need to get back to work. Can you come to my house tonight instead?"
"Sure, but why?"
"I have a suprise for you, too."
"Okay. See you tonight, baby."
I got up and walked with her back to the lobby, where she turned her visitor pass back in. Then I led her back outside, where I finally said, "I can't wait to see you tonight."
She smiled. "Me, neither."
Then she gave me a quick hug and a kiss on the mouth, and then walked away.
