Chapter 1: The Picnic
I don't care much for my boss, but then I guess most people don't. I always figured there must be some kind of mutually exclusive law of nature that says you can't both work for and enjoy the company of the same person. Most people, I think have a similar dislike for anyone in the chain of command above them. Sometimes it's intense; other times more subtle. In my case, it progressed across the entire spectrum, as I will explain.
"Hey John!" I heard. "Glad you could make it."
It all started on a hot July morning at the annual company picnic. He greeted me just as he drove in and parked his car. I glanced back to see him uncoil his long legs out of the driver's seat of his car: a little red car that looked like a toy in comparison to his tall frame and muscular body. It looked, in fact, like he could almost lift the car and flip it over.
"The jerk; my boss!" I cautiously cued in my girlfriend with a whisper.
"Really!" Sandra expressed interest from the first time she caught sight of him. I could see it in her expression, the way her body tensed, the way her eyes opened wide. It was the same look she gave when a friend showed her an expensive piece of jewelry.
"Hi Jason!" I turned my attention back to him. His full name was Jason Garretson, but we just called him Jason. The loading docks were no place for formality. I stepped up to introduce him to my girlfriend when the bombshell stopped me.
There she was! All six feet of her, sliding out the passenger side. She had to be the most gorgeous blond I had ever seen. With a slim body, pronounced chest, and long hair that flowed all the way down to her ass; I couldn't help but stop and stare in awe of her beauty. A gentle prod in the ribs by my girlfriend brought me back to reality just in time.
"This is Lucy," Jason introduced her. "You know, the girl I told you so much about at work."
"Glad to finally meet you," I jumped out of my trance to step up to shake her hand. In truth, he never mentioned anything about any girl named Lucy, but I knew enough to play along. Jason went through girlfriends like the Government went through tax dollars. He had the body of a weightlifter and enough lines to reel in any beautiful young woman he wanted.
"Hi!" Lucy greeted in a high-pitched giggle.
Another prod in the ribs reminded me of my own girl. "Oh, and this is Sandra," I almost forgot. "She's my girlfriend, the one you've heard so much about. She's also my fiancΓ© and we're scheduled to get married in November."
"So glad to meet you," Jason stepped up, took her by the hand, and politely kissed it. "You look even hotter than what John described."
"Oh, thank you," She turned bashful with embarrassment.
Her behavior perturbed me for a moment, but then I recalled the effect Jason always had on the women. I mean, what kind of girl doesn't turn bashful when she's complimented by a tall, dark, handsome young man?
"I don't think we ever met," He gave his full attention to her. "If we did, I'm sure I would have remembered."
"Likewise," Sandra answered, her face still blushing with a hint of crimson. "I heard John talk about you many times, but you're not at all what I pictured."
"Oh!" Jason looked at me. "And what exactly did you expect?"
"I'm not sure," Sandra shrugged her shoulders. "Just different. Not so tall. And maybe a little older." I let out my breath at this expert lie. Had she told the truth, she would have said a short goon with fangs and two horns pointed out of his head. I seldom had anything good to say about Jason when I got home from work in the evenings.
"We'll have to talk later," Jason turned away, turning his attention back to the gorgeous blond. "Maybe after the softball game. I'd like to get to know you a lot better."
I did not appreciate his choice of words, but Sandra didn't seem to notice it.
"Looking forward to it," She accepted graciously.
We parted our separate ways.

I started to worry about Jason and Sandra from the very first time they met. He seemed attracted to her, and I was absolutely certain she was attracted to him.
"You never told me he was such a hunk!" Sandra whispered as soon as Jason and his latest girlfriend walked out of earshot.
"Please!" I now took my turn to give a gentle nudge in her ribs. "Not Jason! You got to be kidding!"
"I mean it!" She countered. "He's so handsome, and look at that bod!"
I looked as he walked away. In truth, Jason was a handsome looking guy. And yes, he did have a strong body. He worked is way up from the bottom in the loading docks. In fact, he still lugged around heavy equipment every day. It was perfect exercise for a guy of his size, standing just over 6 feet and weighing in at what I guessed was a good 220 pounds of pure muscle. I don't think he wore an ounce of fat on him.
"And look at that ass!" Sandra teased me as he walked away.
"Sandra!" Her words shocked me.
She only laughed. "But he really does kind-of have a nice ass," She countered. "Why can't I look at his ass? You ogled at his girlfriend! Why can't I ogle at him?"
"Because you're talking about my boss!" I pointed out. "Come on! Stop it! He's a jerk."
"Oh, all right," She reluctantly turned back to me after seemingly searching him out in the gathering crowd. "That may be, but no matter how big of a jerk he might seem to you, I still think he's got a great ass."
I pulled Sandra away from what was probably a continued search for Jason's ass.
About a hundred people stood around the park. Another fifty more would soon join us. It was a warm summer day with no chance of rain, so most every employee was bound to show up. Attendance wasn't mandatory, but most people came anyway. The free food and beer attracted them, and then there were the competitive softball games.
We walked over to the grills to grab a burger and then up to the bar to pour ourselves a beer. I greeted several of my coworkers along the way; this time remembering to introduce Sandra each time. It was her first time to the company picnic. Even though we had been dating for two years and living together the past 6-months, she never before socialized with any of my coworkers.
"I never knew you worked with such a bunch of hunks!" She whispered into my ear as soon as we found room at an empty picnic table. "You'll have to take me along to work some time," She teased.
All my co-workers were male, and all of them were built like brick houses. That was the nature of the job. It came with the territory. You had to be strong and well muscled if you wanted to work on the loading docks. It also helped to be dense, slow witted, and eager to pick fights.
I was the exception. Unlike the others, I was more of a bookish type. Standing at least a foot shorter and about a hundred pounds lighter than the smallest of them, I took care of the inventory. My co-workers would be able to beat me to a pulp if they really wanted to, but then a lot of them couldn't add more than three digits in their head either. Someone with brains had to keep track of it all.
My girlfriend seemed to enjoy the show. My coworkers seemed to enjoy her too. Sandra was a pretty Hispanic girl short in stature and with a pronounced chest. The summer dress she wore did an excellent job at showing off her cleavage. I couldn't help but notice several of my coworkers taking the occasional glance down her canyon.

We finished our burger and beer, grabbed another beer, and then made our way through the crowd of people. Sandra was particularly interested in - besides the tough guys I worked with - in the games for the little kids. The company always did a good job at entertaining the kids. We watched a gunny sack race, egg toss, and a sandbox where they dig coins and then the kids had to dig to find them.
Somewhere along the way I made a sly suggestion about starting our own family. I dreamed about someday bringing our own kids to the picnic, but Sandra promptly ignored me. She expressed little interest in making babies, at least not yet anyway. Her career came first, at least for now. She was a practical woman who wanted to build a solid foundation before starting a family. Sometimes she could be almost fanatical about it, like the way she took the double precaution against an accidental pregnancy by both taking the pill and insisting I always use a rubber.
The company put on games for the bigger kids too. That is, us, the employees. Our game was softball. Each department fielded their own team. There were four in all: the Front Office, Sales, Manufacturing, and the Loading Dock. Front Office and Sales were always eliminated in the first round. The real competition was between Manufacturing and the Docks. Despite the fact we had less than one-quarter the staff, we could still field a competitive team. It went to show where all the athletic strength lay in the company.
"You remember your glove?" Jason took me by surprise with a powerful slap on my back. "Or you gunna chicken out and not play this year?"
"I remembered!" I struggled to speak almost out of breath. "You need me to play, remember? Got my glove in the trunk."
Like I said, the Loading Dock was the smallest department. We all had to play in order to field a team. It just happened that I was the smallest, slowest, weakest member of the team, so they relegated me to playing right field.
"Well, you can't play with your glove sitting in the trunk of your car!" He chastised me with a hearty laugh. "You better go get it! We're up, first round! You've got ten minutes."
I left in an automatic reaction to his command. Sandra started to walk after me until Jason held her back.
"And don't worry about your girlfriend," He squeezed her arm, and she didn't seem to mind. "I'll be sure to take plenty good care of her while you're gone."
I paused for a moment in hope that Sandra would reject his arrogant attitude and come after me. Instead, her face lit up and she returned his embrace. The two held hands almost in a hug, and I immediately knew I was in trouble.
