I had seen through the glass doors that Sandra tried to catch the elevator, but the person inside was not feeling charitable and door slid closed just after Sandra had taken a couple of steps toward it.
I was standing beside her a minute later, and she was annoyed. She was a nice looking woman, about 20 years my senior, with bottle blond hair and dark brown eyes. I was the first person she met when she moved into the building, as she needed help carrying the many groceries she had bought one evening. I said "Hi" and she began to vent. Not only did the other tenant snub her, she was also having some argument with her ex-husband as to visitation rights, as well as some jerk at work giving her a hard time.
"And, I'm trying to quit smoking" she said, indicating the lollipop she was sucking on.
I tried to be encouraging and offered her a good luck. She nodded, and then said, "What are you doing later?"
Another elevator had arrived, so we got on that. I admitted that I had no plans, as this was mid-week.
"Want to come by for a drink?" Sandra had pushed 9, which is our floor.
She wasn't working the lollipop as furiously. "Please say yes, I don't want to drink alone..."
I gave in, and was told to stop by at around 8.
I arrived at 8 with a bottle of red that I had in my apartment. She opened the door and ushered me in.
Earlier, Sandra was wearing her business clothes; grey dress with a black suit coat. Now, she had changed into a snug tank top and shorts. Sure, Sandra was older than me, but damn, did she look good. The top showed a little bit of cleavage, but it wasn't anything too distracting to someone who didn't have an overactive imagination and a love for nice breasts.
"Here," I said, offering the bottle."It's just a little red."
Sandra smiled, and thanked me. "Oh, I've heard lots of good things about this brand," she said, going into the kitchen.
I was sitting on the couch when she came out with the wine glasses and the the opener. Her breasts seemed to have a pleasant fullness to them, which I hadn't noticed before as she always seemed to cover them up.
I opened the bottle - Sandra joked that she wasn't strong enough - and poured the wine. After toasting, we began talking about stuff, movies, people in the building etc. After a while and a refill, Sandra mentioned that she really felt she was going crazy not being able to smoke; she knew it was the healthier choice, but she missed the chat time she had with the other smokers.
"...but it's the little things, like what to do with my hands, and stuff."
Sandra had curled her legs under her, with her back to the armrest, so I got a great view of her bosom. While she was lamenting the fact that she can no longer smoke, I was trying to figure out just how did they stay so pert when she said something that caught my attention.
