A Christmas I'll never forget.
It was the week of Christmas, I still had to get some gifts for my mom and my nieces. I hate shopping at malls the week of Christmas, but I had no choice but to head to the local shopping mall and get those gifts. I figured after work I would just deal with the monotonous of the department stores while I grabbed what I needed. It was a cold dreary December 22
nd
night as I drove to the mall. My hopes were the stores weren't too crowded and I could get right in and out.
I was 32 at the time this happened. I had never been married; never had found someone I would have said yes to, even if they would have asked. I had my fair share of boyfriends, but no one I ever thought about "forever" with. I was always considered pretty, but never was a hot girl. I always considered myself a seven out of ten. I was only 5'08, big hips and a pretty round butt. I had shoulder length blonde hair, with smaller B cups tits. I have a great smile, but was never one of those women who floor men when they walk into a room.
At this time during that year, I was lightly dating the newest guy. We'd see each other once a week or maybe every ten days, but he wasn't "it" either. And I was just going where life took me. I was kind of bummed as I usually get this time of year, because I had no husband, no kids, no special someone, but that's what life had dealt to me and I was playing the hand I was dealt.
I walked through the department store for seemed like an hour. Seeing rack after rack of clothing, Knick Knacks, those unique Christmas gifts offered for sale, not finding anything I thought would fit my needs. I decided to head to the perfume counter. My nieces were getting old enough to wear those teenaged perfumes and my mom has always like Channel number 5. As I approached the counter, looking down into the display cases, the sales woman must have started wandering my way.
"May I help you find something?" She asked.
"I'm just looking." I replied as I started to lift my head up.
But when I arose and got a look at the sales woman, I was taken-a-back instantly. Here stood in front of me the 20 something perfume girl with her giant smile. Her name tag read Amber and she was sexy. Her long brown hair, hanging until about the mid of her chest, styled, full, voluptuous. Coupled with her tight black pants, her lose off white silky shirt, with the buttons opened up a bit further than they should have been. She was thin and had a nice set of C cups tits. The perfume she was wearing lofted my way and tickled my senses. Her gold earrings hung gently off of her ears, as the long gold catholic cross hung from her neck. Her hands extend out onto the counter, with her blood red painted nails as she spoke.
"Is there anything in particular you're looking for?" She asked.
I was a babbling idiot, as I tried to explain I was there to find some perfume for my nieces and my mom.
"We'll we have a wide selection for ladies of all ages." She replied.
Amber bent over and slid the drawer open reaching in for an item. I could not stop looking down her shirt as she was bent over. Her light milky colored skin, showing more cleavage than someone should normally do. Her lacy white bra holding in her perfect tits, which had my undivided attention. I felt tingles inside of me I had never felt before. I stood there speechless, with my hands on the edge of the glass display case, just focused in on her chest.
"We have this fragrance from a designer that a lot of younger women like to wear," she spoke as she was coming upright. Amber sprayed a bit on the card and handed it to me. It was sweet and light, almost what you would think coming of age girls would wear.
"What is your name?" She asked me.
"Umm... Ahh... I'm Jenny. Dribbled from my lips as I sat in awe of her.
"We'll Jenny it's nice to meet you." She spoke as she rested her right hand on top of my left hand. "I'm Amber. You're in good hand with me."
"You are so pretty." She spoke.
"And I love your purse. Did you get it here?" She asked.
"Ugh... No... Ugh, it was a gift from my mom. I replied.
Now I know sales woman are supposed to flirt. I had a long-time friend who worked in retail for years and she'd tell me the more she flirted; the better the sales. But I didn't know they were supposed to flirt with women too.
I walked back and forth with Amber for a few minutes smelling all kinds of perfumes. But I was at a loss. I almost forgot why I was there. I forgot all about the perfume as I was talking to her. I was enthralled by her and as dippy as I was acting; she could have sold me $5,000.00 worth of stock in a garbage company at that point. I just couldn't believe how beautiful she was. And strikingly enough, I had no idea why this woman had me under her spell. I had never been attracted to women before. Never intimidated by them. But for some odd reason, I was just in absolute awe of her. How friendly she was and how attracted to her I was. I finally had to walk away. I didn't know what to buy and there were plenty of other customers at the counters.
"I'm sorry Amber." I spoke. "I'm just not sure if these are what I am looking for. Maybe I'll look around the store some more and think about it."
"No problem, Jenny." She spoke. "If you change your mind, I'll be right here."
I walked away with my head spinning. Was it the perfume? The crowds? The noise? Her? I was dumfounded on why she had gained my attention like that. Never in my life have I looked at a woman sexually. Prior to this experience if you would have asked me if I would ever consider having sex with a woman, I would have said absolutely not. And even though I had never had the greatest luck with men. I was a woman and I wanted a man.
But as I wandered throughout the store more, I couldn't focus on anything but her. She was amazing. So pretty. So beautiful. So friendly. So alive. So sexy and with all the commotion rambling through my head, I was wandering around the store like a lost puppy. Looking at shit I wasn't even going to buy. I had to see her again. I had to talk to her again. I had to see if her flirting was for the sale or for me.
I wandered back near the perfume section and just watched her from a distance. I had to see if my attraction was because of the Christmas Spirit, the moment; or if I was actually attracted to her. My heart was racing and I was sweating, as I stood watching her help other customers. As I watched her, she caught a glimpse of me, standing across the aisle. She froze in place and smiled at me, forgoing her conversation with the customer she was helping. We starred at each other from across the store and I was sent into a panic.
Why was I attracted to this girl? Was this fate? Because prior to coming here, I didn't even want to come to the mall. I surely wasn't planning on buying perfume; and now I'm standing across from her, behind clothing racks watching her like a shy little teenie bopper. Was it a sign? A lust? Was I suddenly into women?
When Amber finished with her customer, I wandered back over to the counter. Another sales woman started to approach me, but Amber saw her and spoke loudly, "I was helping her before, I'll take this one."
"Hey, Jenny. You came back!" Did you make a decision?" She asked.
"No." I babbled out. "I'm still at a loss."
"Well, I am glad you came back to see me." She spoke.
