I had a lot of fun searching for houses and condos with Danielle. The trips to the houses were filled with innuendo and often the houses provided places to engage in everything else but shopping for houses. At any rate, Danielle finally showed me the perfect 2 bedroom 2 bath condo.
I had to go talk to the bank to see how much money I qualified for. Yeah, I know, I was supposed to do that first, but I had a lot going on.
Every time I think about going to my bank, I get excited thinking about that new young loan agent they just hired out of school. She gotta be around 22. She is thin, tall, and blond. She actually looks like a model. I wouldn't be surprised if one day I show up to see her and she has started modeling.
I remember my ex used get on me for staring at her slender frame. Now don't get me wrong, I don't mind a big ass, but I also love to see women like this. I enjoy them all. But I digress.
So I show up at the bank and there she is. She was talking to woman who had long shoulder length hair. Her hair had streaks of gray in it. It was a simple straight style. She was neat and clean, you know those neat freaks. She had on a long dress that was probably designed to hide her body, but you could tell she had a tall narrow build, like she had once been a model or something.
Luckily the gray haired woman was leaving as I got to the door. Our eyes met and she awkwardly looked away. Her face was very attractive though, of course she was nothing like the loan officer I came to see.
I put gray haired woman out of my mind as I rushed to sit down. The loan officer, Clara Bauer, was standing. She had on a business suit that was really looking nice on her. Her suit was a conservative gray, but it even looked attractive against her porcelain skin. She had her hair back in a pony tail and had understated, but very attractive makeup.
I attempted to catch a glimpse of as much of her body as I could without looking like that is what I was doing.
"Hello, can I help you." She asked me as if she had never seen me before. It is obvious that she made a bigger impression on me than I made on her. So I Seek to jog her memory.
"Now I know you haven't forgotten me already." I said.
She smiled, "Now how could I forget you." She joked.
"I don't know, how could you?" I said.
"You were in here last year, you are Mr. Washington." She said.
I was literally shocked that she remembered me.
"Bingo, now you are making me think there is a reason you remembered me." I said attempting to flirt with her. "I'm gonna have to tell all my friends that such an attractive woman as yourself remembered me." I said.
She smiled, "And I will have to tell my friends that such an attractive man as yourself called me an attractive women."
I couldn't help myself, I blushed.
"Please come sit down Mr. Washington." She said.
I sat down and she asked me, "So where is Mrs. Washington." She asked.
Before I knew it, I had blurted out, "We broke up, so I am now free and single."
She laughed and then it looked like a light went on in her head.
"You know you are a distinguished looking man. I shouldn't be doing this at work, and I apologize if I am overstepping my bounds..."
I smiled. Hell, I was about to ask her out, but it really looked like she was fixing to ask me out.
"...But I think you would be perfect for my mom. She hasn't dated since my father passed. She is so damn picky."
Boom...I felt like someone let all the wind out of my sails. Here I thought I was fixing to get it on with a model, but now she wants to set me up with her momma.
I thought about it for a moment and then said, "Why not, what does she look like?"
"You just saw her and I can tell she likes you by how she reacted to you."
I smiled and asked, "The tall woman who was just in here?"
"Bingo, that's my mom, Nicole."
I immediately tried to remember how she looked. She seemed to be in good shape. A little taller than I am, and a pretty face. I smiled.
"Ahh...So you are interested."
"Just give me her number and I will..."
"How about this, I will give her your number and then we will take it from there."
I understood, she probably didn't want to be giving her mother's phone number to just anybody. So I said, sure go ahead.
We talked about my loan and it was clear that I could pre-qualify for more than enough to pay for the condominium that I was about to buy.
So I left for home and started driving to get home. I was very tempted to head on over to Carol's house. I hadn't heard from her since the grocery store bathroom incident. I also wanted to drive by my old house just to see what Esther was up to. I put on my blinkers to make that turn to take me over to that side of town when my cell phone rang.
