"May I have a seat?"
The coffee shop was packed with half the place filled with people waiting for their orders. I had gotten there just before the morning rush and had claimed one of the small tables. Now it was standing room only although there was still the second chair at my table. I looked up from my phone ready to give the compulsory, 'sure.' Instead, my brain hiccuped when I saw the face of the beautiful young woman looking down at me.
It was like looking up at an angel. Her blonde hair was swept over one shoulder and her blue-green eyes were captivating. That was what made me lose my focus and stumble over my words, those eyes.
"Uh, okay," I said finally.
'Okay'? Did that even make sense? I managed to look down at my phone again as I winced at my lack of eloquence.
She pulled the chair out and sat down. While looking over the edge of my phone, I could see her incredible body. She was wearing a gray sports bra and matching yoga pants. She must be going on a run or to the gym. Her torso twisted slightly to put an arm on the table and my eyes were drawn to the hint of her nipples protruding from the bra. Why couldn't I look away?
At 34, I still look like a woman ten years younger and am proud of my appearance. I have shoulder-length dark brown hair and a very nice figure if I do say so myself. It's rare that I'm not the one getting all the looks, but there was something about this woman that demanded that you pay attention to her. Or maybe it was just me. No, in my peripheral vision, I saw several glances over at her from the surrounding crowd. I mean, she was practically in underwear, how was I supposed to compete with that?
Why was I even trying to compete? I was a successful woman who probably made twice what this girl did.
Fuck, I can't believe I even thought that! I was exhibiting the very prejudice I railed against to others. Thinking that someone was an entitled brat just because of their age or looks. In this case, both.
Her body turned completely towards me.
"Your phone is blank," she said.
I had been so lost in my thoughts that the voice startled me. Looking up I met those eyes again.
"What?" was all I got out.
"Your phone went blank a while ago," she pointed out, gesturing to it. "You must have a lot on your mind."
I was afraid that she was going to accuse me of staring at her chest, which I had been. Instead, her words were soft and conveyed only interest. I blinked trying to think of how to respond.
"Are you a doctor?" she asked, saving me from my inability to find a coherent thought.
I was on my way to work and was wearing my blue scrubs. Like an idiot, I still looked down at myself before looking back up and giving a silly laugh.
"Oh, no, I'm a nurse," I answered.
"Hmm, that's too bad," she said. I was slightly offended. "I was hoping you were one of those hot female doctors like on 'Grey's Anatomy'."
Then I was flattered. She thought I was hot? I smiled and stifled a girlish giggle.
"Why were you hoping?" I prodded.
"I don't know," she started, putting both elbows on the table and scooting a bit closer. "I just like the idea of knowing that there are sexy successful women out there. Gives me hope, you know?"
"You think I'm sexy?" I heard myself ask.
"Don't you?" the blonde replied. "You're not even wearing makeup and you look like you could be going to a photo shoot to sell scrubs," she said, gesturing to me.
I was proud of my body even if the only exercise I ever got was walking five miles every day on the hospital floor. I suddenly felt like I was wearing something revealing under her roving gaze rather than the patently unappealing scrubs.
"Well,...uh...thank you," I managed.
There was an awkward moment as we both just looked at each other. I was searching for something to say, something to break the silence. All I could focus on where her eyes.
"You have amazing limbal rings," I finally said.
The girl's eyebrows raised. She looked down at her chest.
"I don't have nipple rings."
"Ha, no, limbal rings," I laughed. "It's the darker circle around the iris of your eye. Yours are quite striking."
The blonde propped her chin on one palm and smirked, eyes sparkling. I couldn't have looked away at that moment to save my life.
"Are you flirting with me, Ms. Hot Nurse?"
I froze. Was I flirting with her? I hadn't decided to but, after she pointed it out, I couldn't deny it, at least not to myself. I had been flirting.
"Relax," she giggled. "I'm just messing with you."
Then she got the most sultry look that had ever been thrown in my direction.
"Unless you were flirting, because then I would have to flirt back," she said as she sat back in the chair and bit her lower lip while smiling.
Then a name was called by the barista and the girl rose. 'Charlie', her name was 'Charlie'.
"It was nice talking with you," she said, giving me a quick wave.
"You too," I replied to her retreating form.
And, just like that, she was walking out the door. I and many of the other patrons watched her bounce out the door in her tight yoga pants. It was only then that I noticed my pulse was elevated and my breathing was abnormal. I already felt tired and I hadn't even started my shift.
===========
I got home late that night, as usual. Jim was watching football and turned briefly to me as I walked in.
"Hey, sweety," he said in a cheery voice and then turned back to his game.
Jim is a great husband. Sure, he loves his football, but he is also a romantic who often brings me flowers or presents for no reason and is a great lover. That said, we were pretty vanilla in our variety. We had started watching porn together a few months ago. That added a new bit of excitement as I imagined being one of the women in the videos.
Recently, though, Jim had started pulling up videos of two women and, to my surprise, they got me very excited. When Jim would go down on me after that, I started closing my eyes and imagining that it was one of the women from the videos.
I threw my bag on the kitchen table and sat down beside my husband. Swinging my legs over his, I pulled him into a hug and a kiss on the cheek. I still had thoughts of the girl from the coffee shop playing through my head. I didn't mind fantasy during lovemaking, but she was real and the effect she had on me was a bit unnerving. I needed Jim to make me forget all about her.
