Chapter 1: Tease
It had been a couple of days already, and none of her co-workers had commented anything about the new intern's looks, which was kinda weird, since the intern was a young woman, and very beautiful in that. She figured it was because the intern lacked in the "qualities" that the men in the office so adored, mainly large breasts and flirty behavior accented with revealing clothing. The new intern, Anette, hadn't any of those. Although she was very pretty with her long jet-black hair and bright green eyes, she wore plain-looking clothing that pretty much covered all of her small forms and she didn't act anything but professional towards the male population. Apparently, the men were turned off by this and didn't even attempt any lame pick-up-lines or other degenerate jokes.
But what was remarkable instead, was the fact that although not appealing to the males, Anette was very much appealing to Nina herself. She found herself looking at the intern again and again, without even realizing it herself. Her co-workers had long ago abandoned all attempts to woo Nina and decided that either she was some frigid religious weird-type person who abhors all things sexual or then just weird. Weird was much closer (or just hit the nail) but that did have anything to do with her opinion about male sexual partners. What explained that quite well, was the fact that she preferred other women. Although she had a friend who knew this but wasn't into girls herself, nobody else was aware of the fact or at least had told Nina they knew.
Sometimes Nina found herself wishing that Anette's apparent lack of interest towards men originated from the same reasons she herself had. It was not like desiring the forbidden fruit, Anette must've been at least 20 years old, for that was the company's policy concerning employees. And not like Nina could've been her mother or anything, being just 28 years old herself. But the fact that society at large still adopted a taboo-approach to woman-to-woman relationships was keeping her from outright asking it. And it didn't help it that her boss, and thus the boss of the whole section, was a conservative, well, bastard, that insisted on different "female jobs" and "male jobs", even at the cost of productivity when there would have been better personnel to handle said tasks, but they were of the wrong gender variety. Herself being, of course, the main example in her head. She was assigned to secretary duties, even though she was both a programmer and technical designer by profession. And then her unfortunate co-worker William, who happened to be a secretary by profession... They ended up doing much of each other's work when the boss was not looking, just for the simple fact that otherwise they both would get sacked when jobs wouldn't get done.
When the workdays ended, Nina usually tried to time her departure at the same time as Anette so she could, without being suspicious about it, look at Anette undressing and changing clothes, and sometimes even taking a shower. After which Nina usually needed a cold one. Just looking at her slender form made her feel like was a highway running up her spine. She was pretty sure Anette had noticed her not-so-casual staring, but for one reason or another, hadn't said anything.
One day, when the clock was ever so slightly creeping towards the 16:00 mark, which would allow her to once again escape the day's jobs and head to home and, perhaps, even glimpses the fair form of Anette on the way. But, that was only a small wish, and wishes rarely, if ever, got granted like they first look...
Nina was finishing up some stuff for William and was clearing up the next week's hours when suddenly Anette popped up there, bending over Nina's desk, her face quite close to hers.
"Miss", she said with her soft voice, "this came in a mail". And handed over a letter, which clearly didn't arrive in company mail, or probably any other, since it was missing the stamp, and for good measure, any address whatsoever.
"Emm.. thanks?" was all Nina could spit out right then. She looked right into those green eyes and tried to discern what was going behind them.
"I think you should open it in private", said Anette, while "accidentally" brushing her finger across Nina's lips. "There might be something that you would not like to share." Smiling, she added, with a barely audible breath "And I wouldn't either."
Nina had to swallow quick, either her heart would surely have jumped out. The feeling of her finger on her lips was intense enough, but that last breath of voice had taken the last ounce of her self-control to keep herself from kissing those lips that were oh-so-close to hers right then. Nina watched the young woman walk away towards the girls' quarters, swinging her hips slightly more than usual.
"Are the reports ready?" from the boss made Nina not only swallow her chewing gum but almost have a heart attack and stuff the letter inside her top away from the man.
"Yes, sir, here they are." She said and give him the pile of paper William had dropped off to her earlier. "Just finished with them. I'll just put these papers back to the archive and be on my way home for the day."
"Tomorrow then, Ms. Jennings." the boss said.
"Tomorrow, Mr. Port," replied Nina half-hearted, her head still full with Anette and what had just happened.
Without realizing it, Nina moved a little faster than normal with her off-the-work "schedule", so much so, that William noticed it when she was dropping the patch notes to him.
"In a hurry, Nina?" he said, raising an eyebrow.
"Just a bit, uhm, anxious," she replied. Feeling the blush began forming at her cheeks.
"Right. Okay, then." William said, smiling. "Thanks for the notes, btw. I couldn't get this code to work without you anyways, but keeping up with the patches is much appreciated."
"No probs," Nina said. "You keep me in my job, I try to keep you in yours until the day we have a change in the management and are able to convince someone to switch our jobs. See you tomorrow, Will."
"Yeah, I'll drink to that one. See ya, Nina." Will said and turned to his work.
Nina walked towards the women's area with a bit trembling steps, almost wishing that Anette had already left, but then again, hopefully, she wouldn't have...
When she entered the room, there was no-one at sight. There weren't many women working in that section anyway, just Nina, Anette, and maybe two others, but they had radically different working hours, so they almost never saw each other. Wondering where Anette had gone Nina sat down on a chair and took the envelope out of her top and tried to feel what was inside. Few sheets of paper, or maybe a letter or some cards or some such. Carefully she opened the envelope, letting the contents slide out onto her lap. There were three of them. In black & white. The first one showed just Anette's lips, just slightly apart. In the second one, she lied on a sofa on her stomach, with only lace panties on. There wasn't much light, but you could barely see the small soft curves of her body. Her head was turned a bit to the side, so you could make out her closed eyes and a barely open mouth. In the last one, the only things that were diminished were the amount of light and clothes. She was on the same sofa, but this time lying on her back. And the panties were gone, but they were "replaced" by her right hand, which was placed just so that you couldn't actually see what was supposed to be there. Her head was subtly bent backward and her lips were partially open and her eyes still closed. You could quite clearly make out at least the outline of her firm but petite breasts. Her skin was quite pale, which made a striking contrast with her black hair which was curling a bit all over her body.
After this point, Nina was breathing quite heavily, not the least from trying to figure out why Anette had given just these pictures just to her, and who had taken them? Admittedly, a great part of the heavy breathing was because she really liked seeing these kinds of pictures, and the fact that it was Anette in them didn't anything to lessen the effect. She noticed she was running her finger across her lips, down her throat, and carelessly brushing her breast. She fought the urge to continue in that train of thought. At least here at work. She put the pictures back inside the envelope. Just as she was putting the envelope in her bag, she heard a sound behind her. It was the almost non-audible sound of soft socks walking on a carpet. Soft socks on soft feet, that belonged to a young woman, clothed just in her lacy underwear. She locked the dressing room door, walked quietly right behind Nina, and gently touched her shoulders with her fingers. She bent down, close to her ear to whisper.
"I see you looked at them", she breathed out almost silently, "What do you think?"
Nina wasn't sure what to answer, her heart and thought were racing too fast to think clearly, and Anette's fingers on her shoulder made curious feelings run along her spine right to her hips. She had to resist twitching. Knowing, that it was a stupid thing to say, but just unable to stop herself.
"Who took them?" she asked.
She could almost feel the grin on Anette's face. "Jealous, already?" she whispered. "Fear not, I took them myself, with a timer."
