I'd spent a lot of time fantasizing about Kerri. The way her soft lips curved into an inviting smile. The sparkle in her eye that suggested she was hiding something. Kerri didn't dress particularly provocatively, but my imagination took care of that. It's a wonder I still had a job, with the amount of time I spent staring at her and daydreaming instead of working. I figured my fantasies were all I had. Chances were she wasn't interested in women anyway, much less an average like me.
THUNK! The pile of papers dropped to my desk as Kerri waved a feminine hand in front of my eyes. "Chelsea? Earth to Chelsea!"
My heart beat a little faster as I breathed in her scent. "Sorry. I suppose I'm ready for the weekend." I said shifting uncomfortably in my seat.
Kerri flashed a dazzling smile at me. "Me too. This weather makes me tired." She said, gesturing toward the window where the rain clouds were visible. After a pause she added "Maybe we could sneak out early and get a drink."
My eyes darted around as I considered her proposal. My silence made the moment seem to last forever. "I... Uh... Sure. Yes. Lets do it." I could barely believe I said it. Calm down Chelsea, I thought. It's not like its a date or anything.
As I shut off the lights and locked the door, Kerri unbuttoned her conservative jacket and took it off. I inhaled sharply. Underneath, was a tight button down shirt with the top 3 buttons undone. I couldn't help but shiver in excitement. The top of her black lace bra was just barely visible, hugging her ample curves, as her chest rose and fell. I was literally transfixed.
"You driving?" Kerri asked, breaking into my thoughts.
I brushed my hair out of my eyes. "Sure."
We drove in silence to a quiet little bar a few blocks away. When we pulled into the lot, Kerri fiddled with something in her purse while I hopped out of the car, walked quickly over to her side, and opened the door. Kerri looked a little surprised, but flashed me that perfect smile again.
We chose a booth in a dim corner. "First round is on me." Kerri said.
The first few drinks were accompanied by idle chatter. We learned about each others hobbies, favorite movies, music preferences, and past jobs. Once the fourth drink rolled around Kerri was clearly feeling good. She giggled a lot. I mostly sat listening to her and enjoying her company. She started talking about her ex.
"It was a terrible breakup. We were so in love... or at least I was." Kerri trailed off. She seemed lost in thought for a moment. "Anna." she finally whispered, with sadness in her voice.
For a moment I thought I was hearing things. I blinked twice. "Anna?" I asked.
"Yes. She broke my heart."
We talked for quite a while after that. Most of it was a blur. I couldn't stop thinking about Anna, and more importantly, Kerri WITH Anna.
It was getting late. I wasn't very comfortable with dropping Kerri off at her car to drive home. She was clearly in no condition to drive. "Do you need me to drive you home?" I asked. "I can take you to pick up your car tomorrow."
She looked thoughtful for a moment. "Yes." She purred.
Kerri gazed out the window into the dark as we drove to her house. When we arrived she looked over at me with a soft smile on her plump lips. "Come in for a cup of coffee." She said. Not really a question. More a gentle command.
