Working for a large advertising firm sure has its perks, but the stress can be totally overwhelming. The city of Orlando, Florida is beautiful, and the majority of the people are nice. I had actually got this job as a Creative Media Director through a friend of mine who I have known since we were 17, and me now being 25, I have to sayâŠI have come a long way.
I got married to my husband, Tre, when I was 21, and now have a child. I would consider myself a strong black woman. Working for this advertising firm has helped us out a lot, financially over the past couple of months. I really enjoy what I do, and have made a few close friends along in the process. Things in the office, at home, and at church had been going pretty well for me the past couple of months. My husband and I hadnât been fighting much and I have been making thousands of dollars in bonuses.
The advertising firm that I work for resides in a large 12 story building in downtown Orlando overlooking almost the entire downtown area. Itâs beautiful! Instead of taking a lunch, sometimes I just sit at my desk to look out the window at people going back and forth from place to place. Iâll admitâŠI do have a strong fear of heights, but I managed to get use to it after a few weeks.
I will be honest with you. I am able to fight my temptations, selfish needs, and wants. I may not the most perfect human being on the plant, but I do try to do whatâs rightâŠmost of the time. I would consider myself a struggling Christian, I acknowledge God, go to church when I can, and pay my dues. Just when I thought that I had no distractions to tear me away from my responsibilities, I stumbled upon one.
Its funny how from day to day, you pass by the same people as you come to and leave work, and never really paying attention to who they are. I donât like to judge others; therefore, I am open to meeting new people and getting to know them as human beings. Skin color hasnât been a big issue for me either. I have dated a few white guys, but was never sexually involved with one. Iâve made out with a few here and there, but there was never any intercourse or oral sex contact. Making love to a white man (that I am attracted to) has always been my fantasy. I am not the type to sleep around, but it sure does turn me on. I have had tons of opportunities, but I never went through with it.
That all changed about 2 months ago. I decided to have lunch at a sushi bar, about a block away from my job. I waited on the elevator to open so I could go downstairs to leave. As the elevator opened, the whole world around me stood still for about 10 seconds. I saw one of the most attractive white men I have ever seen in a long time. He was beautiful! He smiled at me, and like I usually, I smiled back shyly, and stepped into the elevator. I donât know why, but I was so excited that it was just him and I in the elevator together. He was tall, and stood about 6â1â, and looked a bit muscular, from what I could tell by his structure.
He wore a very professional navy blue business suit, with a matching tie, and what looked like a pair of Stacy Adams shoes. He had those heavy eyes, similar to Richard Gere, and when he smiled; I could tell that he probably had his teeth bleached, because they were too perfectly white. He had salt and pepper colored hair. He looked to be about 42. His hands were big and strong looking, and his feet were huge! YES! As the elevator took us down to the bank lobby area, I could see out of the corner of my eye that he kept glancing at me. When I could look over at him, he could look away in confidence and smile.
As the elevator touched the ground an opened up, I tried to quickly walk out the elevator, trying to forget Mr. Gorgeous back there. He ended up walking right beside me and looked at me and smiled. Once again I shyly smiled back at him, and exited the building. As I stood at the corner to cross the street, I noticed him going in the opposite direction as I was, but caught him looking back at me, and semi-licking his lips. Maybe his lips were chapped? Whatever his reason, I was really getting turned on by this man.
After work that day, there I was again at waiting for the elevator to the parking garage. On my way to my car, I saw him again! He didnât see me right away, but I watched him as he got into his BMW X5. âWowâ, I thought. âThis man must have some money!â
I saw him drive off in a hurry, and I hopped in my car, and went home. For the rest of the night, and I could think about was that manâŠhis eyesâŠhis smileâŠhis bodyâŠeverything about him. The more I thought about his big hands and feet, the more I wondered if the old wifeâs tales were true. This man must have a big penis. I tried to erase those thoughts from my mind, to focus on the family I had at home.
As days went by, me and the gentleman often seen each other and spoke, only âhellosâ, âhow are youâ, etc. No real conversations. One day, as I was taking my usual trip to the sushi bar, I saw him in the lobby getting ready to head outside. He just so happened to turn around and look at me. He stopped for a second, but I smiled and pretended not to notice him. As I was just getting ready to pass him, he said, âExcuse me, Miss?â
âYes?â I replied.
âIâm sorry to bother you, but Iâve noticed you often, and I really introduced myselfâ, the man said.
âUmmm, itâs okâ, I replied.
âWell, my name is Paul (extending his hand for me to shake it), and I am the Vice President of Morwin Financial. We are on the 10th floorâ, he said. âI know that we see each other all the time, and speak for a second, but I didnât want to come across as a rude person.â
âIts fineâ, I said. âMy name is Keri. I work for Slovich Advertising and MediaâŠon the 7th floor.â
âOh yeah. One of our clients does business with you. You headed to lunch?â he asked.
âYesâ, I replied. âTo Moon Garden Sushi. Want to join me?â
âSure. I love that place!â
Paul and I had a wonderful lunch together. After that, we went to lunch together about 3 more times. Every moment I spent with him made me want him even more. He told me that he had an apartment downtown. He lived in one of the most expensive apartments in the area. A few weeks later, my boss told me that we had to meet a deadline for one of our clients. However, I had to stay late. It was raining pretty badly that night. At 8:30pm, I had gotten a phone call on my cell phone. It was Paul. Every time I heard his voice, I my heart would just skip a beat.
âWhat are you doing?â Paul asked.
âI am still working. I am so tired. Whatâs up with you?â I asked.
âJust got home about 30 minutes ago. Iâve been thinking about you.â
âMe? Whyâ.
âI think you are a very sweet and attractive woman Keri. I wonât lie. You have a warm heart, and you have more qualities than you give yourself credit for. I just wanted you to know that.â
âThank youâ, I said. âI think you are an attractive person too Paul. I know I am married, but I think about you all the time.â
âWhat kind of thoughts?â he asked.
âJust thoughts, I guess.â
âDo you ever think about me and you together?â he asked.
âSometimesâ.
âHave you ever thought about making love to me?â he asked in a sexy tone.
âI donât think itâs appropriate for me to talk about thisâ, I replied.
