The following story happened in 2006, it's not that I'm some kind of a stud; it happened because I was lucky and was in the right place at the right time. I'm sharing it with you because I can't very well share it with my wife. I'm in my mid 50's with a few extra pounds around the middle and bald but I do try to stay in shape I run five miles four times a week. I try to keep in shape with a weight routine but I am what I am.
It all started with a recommendation I received for a commercial real estate broker in the Kansas City area. I'm responsible for the all the office space that my company uses in my territory and they decided to open a new office outside of Kansas City in the suburbs. A contact of mine suggested Laura he had worked on a 75,000 square foot office project with her and recommended her highly. I called here and told her who I was and that I was looking broker representation on a 125,000 sq ft space need. We talked about the local market, her experience and how she would approach the project I had in mind. After our phone conversation I was impressed with her knowledge and market savvy, and when I had concluded my other interviews I decided that Laura was going to get the assignment. Over the next several weeks we had numerous phone conversations about the project and I learned more about her. She was a runner, had been in the business for a number of years and had one of those personalities that is open and easy to talk to. We agreed that I would fly down the following week and we would drive the market and narrow our search to a manageable number of buildings.
I had not met her face to face so she told me to look for her white Escalade. I arrived and Laura picked me up at the airport and as I got in the vehicle I was shocked in that she looked like she was 24 or 25, (she was 31) tall, slender with what I would call dishwater blonde hair. Nice breasts high on her chest and overall a real looker. She was one of those girls who dress well, she wore a dark two-piece conservative business suit with the hemline a nicely above her knees and sitting in a car and driving I was also impressed with her legs. We drove by a number of buildings and as we crossed over a bridge she mentioned that it was a great running trail that went for miles and behind her townhouse. I mentioned the next trip I would bring my running stuff and would have to try it. During the day, including lunch there were several times that she would put her hand on my arm or shoulder and leave it there for a while or kind of rub back and forth a few time that felt nice and gave me a little thrill. She was smart and articulate and very attractive and the more time we spent together the more at ease we were and seemed like we knew each other a long time. Among other things I found out she had exited her last relationship a year ago and had been so busy with work that she hadn't connected with anyone. At the end of the day we decided on the buildings we would tour in two weeks. I would fly in Monday night and would tour building Tuesday and Wednesday morning and fly out late that afternoon. I flew home late that day.
