"Hey, I won't be coming in tomorrow. I'll meet you at AutoTech's office on Wednesday. Steve will share the slides later today. Let's connect tomorrow at 2 if there's anything to discuss."
"Sure Vanessa. I'll see you on Wednesday!"
Vanessa gave a slight nod as she turned around and walked out. Heather caught herself looking at her shapely calves again.
"Sure. Be the creep who keeps staring at the boss's legs," she muttered to herself, turning her attention back to her laptop.
Next time she looked up it was 6:30. Her to do list was down to its last point. She drank the rest of the water in her bottle, checked off the last item and started packing up.
On her way home she stopped at the supermarket to pick up fresh produce for her salad. She wasn't much of a cook but she could whip up a mean salad. It served her well. She tried to eat raw as much as possible, including eggs and Greek yoghurt with an occasional grilled chicken breast or fillet of fish for protein. She picked up veggies to last her the week, eggs, chicken breasts and some packs of yoghurt.
She'd worked hard on her body over the last year and she made it a point to eat clean. In the last year and a half she had turned her lifestyle around completely. She'd quit smoking, given up hard liquor, sticking to the occasional glass of wine. She has also eliminated processed and packaged food from her diet. Cans of Diet Coke were no longer a part of her shopping list either.
Heather referred to the list on her phone. She needed Vitamin E oil. Her weight loss was giving her stretch marks. It didn't bother her much but she thought an occasional massage won't do her any harm. She also needed batteries. The ones in her vibe were running low. The last time she used it she was afraid they'd give up before she came. She'd made it though, as the vibe sputtered, almost teasing her, keeping her at the edge longer than usual.
She paid at the counter and walked out to the car. Dumping her bags in the back seat she got into the driver's seat. Home was a fifteen minute drive away. Heather smiled as she realized that she'd driven past her ex-boyfriend's house without realizing yet again. She remembered the time when driving past Adam's house was enough to reduce her to tears. She'd keep an eye out for him, her heart racing, tears stinging the corner of her eyes. It had taken her more than a year, but today she could say without a doubt that she was over him. In fact, she was glad that they had broken up when they did. It had been painful to say the least, but she was in a place where the thought of going home to an empty house was not unpleasant. She enjoyed spending time by herself, sometimes not leaving home all weekend. Being single was the happiest she'd been in a long time.
Their relationship had lasted 3 years, the longest and the only serious relationship Heather had been in. During her 27 years she had made a meaningful connection with only a handful of people. She'd had 3 good friends in her school and college days. The only other person she'd ever had a connection with was Adam.
She parked in her designated spot and carried her grocery bags into her apartment building. Heather lived in a small flat on the 7th floor. She'd lived there for over 3 years now, having moved in to be closer to Adam's place when their relationship was going well. She loved her place, it got a lot of sunlight and sea breeze throughout the day.
Leaving her grocery bags on the kitchen counter she hopped in for a quick shower. Her mint and eucalyptus aromatherapy shower gel was cool and relaxing and she let the lather stay on her skin a little longer than usual, feeling the mild tingle from the mint. She walked out to her bedroom and dried herself off. Instinctively she looked at herself in the mirror. She knew her body had changed in the last year. Flexing her biceps she looked fondly at the definition that had become more pronounced. She ran her fingertips over the sides of her breasts and felt the stretch marks that had appeared there. Her nipples crinkled up as her right hand moved down her tummy. It still had a roundness to it. However, the result of the core workout she did a few times a week would be apparent to anyone who hadn't seen her in the last few months.
As she patted her legs dry, her thoughts went back to Vanessa. Her calves were so perfect. Years of running had given her those calves. Heather knew she had a long way to go. Her goals weren't focused on having the perfect body. What drove her was improving her strength and stamina. Lifting more weights, adding more intensity to her cardio workout than the previous week. She was hard on herself to a fault. Her trainer pushed her but also reminded her that the body couldn't be expected to perform at its optimum every day. She would have to be ok with struggling with normal weights or tiring out faster during a HIIT session on a given day.
She slipped on a pair of cotton panties and a worn out t shirt and made her way to the kitchen. She chopped up some veggies, boiled two eggs and whipped up a simple vinaigrette. In 20 minutes she had cleaned up and was sitting on the couch and picking on her salad. She picked up the book she was reading- Jaya by Devdutt Patnayak. It was a retelling of the great Indian epic, The Mahabharata. Mythology always intrigued Heather. Having read her fair share of Greek and Egyptian mythology, she had decided to move to Hindu mythology. It was layered and a challenging read. She caught herself dozing before long.
Leaving her plates in the sink, she carried the last shopping bag to her room. She put the bottle of Vitamin E oil on her shelf and opened the drawer to store her pack of batteries. She almost closed it before changing her mind. She pulled out her slim purple vibe and quickly replaced the battery. She put the used one in her trash. Considering the number of batteries she ran through in a month, she had searched for recycling options. The State, it turned out suggested throwing out alkaline batteries with your weekly trash. There was no cost effective way to recycle them yet.
Heather switched off the lights and got under her covers. She set her alarm for the next morning and put her phone away. It felt so good to lie in bed after the long day. She stretched, folding her left leg at the knee while her right leg was spread wide. Her left hand traced her left nipple through her t-shirt as her right hand grazed her pussy lips through her panties. She was in no mood to take it slow today. In one quick motion she peeled her panties off and settled back down. She licked the index, middle and ring finger of her right hand and went straight for her clit. First contact made her breath catch in her throat. She exhaled, licking the fingers of her left hand which found its way to her left nipple, tugging at it, pinching its base lightly. A throaty moan escaped her lips as she dipped two fingers into her pussy before reaching back for her clit. She coated her clit and its hood with her juices before reaching for her vibe. It had new batteries. Heather knew this wouldn't take long.
She rubbed the length of it up and down her slit. She slid it in a bit, grunting at how good it felt. She held the vibe on the left side of her clit before turning it on at its lowest setting. It was powerful and even at its lowest setting, her pussy clenched at the intense vibration. Her clit was too sensitive for direct contact. Holding the vibrator on the left was the quickest and most satisfying way to cum.
She held it at the point that always drove her crazy and slightly clenched and raised her hips as if to meet the thrusts of another person. The vibrations were suddenly too intense and she had to move the vibe away. She switched it off and inserted two fingers of her left hand into her pussy. Wiggling around to get comfortable, the pads of her fingers curled upwards to find the rough, sensitive spot. Instinctively she raised her hips up to meet her imperceptible thrust. She continued to work herself up, avoiding her sensitive clit. She pinched her right nipple while gently massaging her G spot.
Head tilted to the left, her eyes shut, lips slightly apart, legs splayed and a thin layer of sweat on her body, she made quite a sight. She reached back for her vibrator, placed it on right spot and turned it on. Her pussy clenched hard around her fingers and again she couldn't help the grunt. Her fingers pulsed quick and light against her G spot as she bumped up the speed of the vibrator. Her head fell back, her legs stiffened and she raised her hips off the bed as she felt herself reaching the peak. She curled her toes with her need to grip onto the bed and held her breath before uttering a "Holy fuck" as she went into a frenzy. Her pussy spasmed around her fingers and she timed each curl of her fingers between each spasm. It drew out her orgasm and she held the vibrator in place till she couldn't take it anymore.
She collapsed onto the bed in an attempt to get away from the intense vibrations. She lay there, slack jawed and panting, her pussy still twitching around her fingers. Her vibrator was still buzzing somewhere on the bed. Heather opened her eyes and slowly pulled her fingers out of her pussy which seemed very reluctant to let them go. She liked her cum of her fingers and located the vibrator to turn it off. She did a good job of licking her cum off the vibe before reaching for tissue to wipe her pruney fingers.
She tossed the tissue into the bin and immediately thought of her boss doing that earlier in the morning as she'd entered Vanessa's cabin. She smiled and without another rational thought, fell into a deep sleep.
