~ Author's note - The story changes perspective from Tom to Marian as she alters the path of his life. Also change to present tense which(is) was a challenge. :)
I'm awakened by the music of Coldplay signaling it's time to get up and prepare for another workday along with the familiar dread of life as a secretary in a real estate office. It's not that the work itself is difficult but dealing with needy clients who often flirt with me during transactions has gotten old. I make another promise to myself to start looking for another line of work as I get in the shower and prepare for another day. After taking care of my morning rituals I get in my car and drive the short distance to the office. Although the distance is short in miles the drive usually takes twice as long during morning rush hour traffic.
Our first appointment is scheduled for nine o'clock with a man named Tom Walker who's coming in to finalize a deal for a place outside the city which will net a healthy commission for the firm. I met Tom a couple times during his search and afterward I felt a flush of excitement as if I had just engaged in foreplay. I chalked it up to the fact that Tom is quite good looking and I haven't had a date for a couple of months. Perhaps I might have to flirt with him a little today to see if he's interested.
Tom arrives a few minutes before nine and I say, "Good morning Mr. Walker. Have a seat and Mr. Bennett will be with you in a few minutes. Can I get you a coffee or water?"
"Thank you Marian but I've already had my daily fix," he says with a smile.
I let Mr. Bennett know his appointment is here then return to my desk and place his papers in my outbox. I decide to engage Tom in some small talk and say, "Congratulations on your new home Mr. Walker. I'm sure you'll be really happy there."
He says, "I have to admit I'm pretty stoked and looking forward to turning into my home. I have some big plans for the basement in particular."
"Ah yes the basement," I say, "I'll bet you're creating your own little man cave down there."
"Something like that," he says with a wry smile on his face.
I get an idea that might get me in Tom's house alone with him and say, "You'll have to have me over once it's done so I can get some updated pictures for our files."
He says, "You're welcome to come over but I'm a pretty private person so I'm afraid there won't be any picture taking."
"I understand," I say. "I would still love to see what you come up with. My brother wants to do something similar and I'd love to get some ideas."
"I'd be happy to have you stop by once it's done," he says.
Our small talk is interrupted by Mr. Bennett on the intercom, "Ms. Crane, please send Mr. Walker back." I usher Tom into the office admiring his muscular frame from behind.
The actual transaction takes less than 30 minutes as all the paper work is in order and Tom was able to provide a hefty down payment which is atypical for someone his age. Apparently he had received an inheritance from an elderly neighbor who he helped with various chores. Must be nice, I thought, pondering my meager bank account balance. I might have to look for an old man to help myself someday. With the transaction complete I give Tom the keys to the house and after he shakes hands with Mr. Bennett I take him back to the waiting room.
I say, "Congratulations again Mr. Walker. Here's my card with my office and cell numbers. Don't forget to give me a ring when the man cave is finished."
"Please call me Tom," he says as his baby blue eyes look directly into mine.
I feel a familiar tingle as we shake hands and I say with a quiver in my voice, "Ok then Tom but don't take too long. I'm excited to see what you come up with."
He says, "Will do and you have a nice day."
"And you as well," I say as I watch him exit the office. My mind wanders to seeing Tom naked and I wonder what kind of cock he has. Judging by the bulge in his pants I bet it's a nice one. I have to rush to the ladies room and splash cold water on my face to bring myself back to reality.
Back at my desk I'm immediately immersed in the bustle of the office and I forget about Tom. My boring life continues for the next several weeks when curiosity gets the better of me and I decide to give him a call. He picks up after a couple rings and I say, "Hello Tom, it's Marian Crane from Bennett Realty. I was wondering how the man cave's coming along."
He says, "Hello Marian. It's great to hear from you but unfortunately I've run into some delays with the contractor. Nothing he can do about it though. There's some special equipment I wanted that's back ordered. I promise that I'll ring you as soon as it's finished. I'm hoping for next week."
"I'll hold you to that," I boldly say.
"Ok Marian. Talk soon," he says and abruptly ends the call.
I sit at my desk frustrated as I feel like Tom's not interested in me. Maybe he's not into women as I'm no slouch. Sure my tits could be bigger but usually men are attracted by my styled blonde hair, thin figure, long legs and great ass. I think I look pretty great in the tight, knee length skirts I love that highlight my slim waste and ankles. I suppose I may have to go the tinder route if I don't hear from Tom soon because I could really use a good fucking. The week drags on and I'm doing my Saturday chores when my cell phone rings. My mood picks up when I see it's Tom.
"Hello Tom, it's so nice to hear from you. How's the project going?"
"Hi Marian. The last contractor just left so I figured I'd give you a call and see if you were free on Monday after work."
Not wanting to appear overly eager I say, "Hang on while I grab my calendar," knowing full well that I have no plans next week. I flip some papers around on my coffee table and say, "Let's see now, Monday the 10th, Monday the 10th. Nope, I have my last client at four so I can swing out to your place at five."
Tom says, "That's great Marian but you're not coming out until you let me take you for a nice meal as thanks for all your help with the house."
"Oh Tom that's totally not necessary. I just did my job and..."
He cut me off mid sentence and says, "I know it's your job Marian but I won't take no for an answer. Plus, ever since I moved I've been trying to find a beautiful woman to take out to dinner then I met Marian Crane who fit that bill perfectly."
I feel heat rush to my face as I try to respond nonchalantly, "Well now Mr. Wilson, it just so happens that flattery will get you everywhere so I look forward to seeing you on Monday."
"That's great Marian, I'll pick you up at the office at five."
"Ok Tom, I'm looking forward to seeing you again," I say.
I hang up the phone, do several fist bumps and yell "Yes, yes, yes," to no one in particular. Thinking of going out with Tom and what could potentially happen at his house gets me extremely horny so I shed my clothes as I make my way to my bedroom, grab my dildo and shove it deep into my pussy as I fall onto my bed. I'm soaking wet from just talking to Tom again and it's not long before I bring myself to a shuddering orgasm. When I recover I sit straight up and start thinking about all the things I need to do before Monday. I haven't been to the hairdresser in almost a month plus my fingers and toes are an absolute mess. I look at the clock and see it's 4:55 so I run naked to my living room, grab my phone and call my stylist.
After the third ring I breath a sigh of relief as I hear, "Hair, Nails and Tails, this is Mary. Can I help you?"
I say, "Mary thank god I caught you. It's Marian Crane and I need to schedule an appointment for the works on Monday. Can I come by during my lunch hour, it's an emergency!"
She laughs and says, "You're in luck Marian, I just had a cancellation so I can see you around 1130. Now what's this emergency and what will be doing for you?"
"This really cute guy just asked me out and everything's a mess. Hair, mani, pedi and I think there may be a family of small animals nesting 'down there' if you get my drift."
She says, "I see so hair, manicure, pedicure and bikini wax. This guy must be pretty cute then huh?"
"He's cute as hell. He's new to the area and I helped sell him his house so he wants to take me out to dinner as a thank you. I couldn't very well show up looking like my mother. The wax may be overkill but I'd rather be safe than sorry," I say.
"Too true," she says, "Tell you what, since you seem pretty excited and have been such a loyal customer I'll throw in the wax for free. You just need to show up and endure the pain."
"You're a sweetheart Mary. I'll see you Monday at 11:30 sharp."
We say our goodbyes and I realize I'm standing by my front window naked so I run to my bedroom and throw on a robe. I wasn't leaving anything to chance so I lay out my work clothes for Monday along with a slinky black dress and stilettos for dinner. If that outfit doesn't woo Mr. Tom Wilson then he surely has to be gay. I really need to relax so I draw a bath with bubbles, pour myself a glass of wine and sink into the tub.
The rest of the weekend drags on and I have a couple more dates with my dildo to make it through but Monday finally arrives. I dress in my usual conservative work clothes, hang my dress in the car then head for the office. I ask Mr. Bennett if it's ok if I take a little extra time at lunch for an appointment and he tells me to take whatever I need. At lunch I see Mary and she gives me the deluxe treatment, removing all the hair from my pussy and ass except for a cute little landing strip. She does my nails in a soft pink color and adds blonde highlights to my hair. Even with the discount her fee nearly takes my breath away but I give her my card adding a nice tip.
As I start to leave she says, "Good luck tonight Marian. You look stunning and I hope everything works out but remember to be careful."
"Thanks Mary. I can't believe what you did to me. I'll fill you in the next time I see you."
I make my way back to the office where Mr. Bennett does a double-take when he sees me. "Wow Marian, you look fantastic. Meeting someone special tonight?"
I say, "As a matter of fact Tom Wilson is taking me to dinner. I wanted to see what he did to his man cave to get some ideas for my brother but he insisted on dinner first."
"Well Tom Wilson will be lucky to have such a charming dinner guest Marian," he says.
I can't help but blush as I sit at my desk and think about meeting Tom. Things are incredibly slow that afternoon as the clock on the wall mocks me every time I look at it. Finally at 4:30 I grab my dress from the car and go to the ladies room to freshen up and change. Mr. Bennett is at the copier when I return from the ladies room and he does another double-take. "Holy moly Marian, you are indeed a sight for sore eyes. If I were 20 years younger..."
Just as I get to my desk the front door opens and Tom breezes into the office looking good enough to eat in his kaki pants, dress shirt and suit coat. He shakes Mr. Bennett's hand and says, "Good to see you again Mr. Bennett," then he freezes as he sees me. His face is flushed as he says, "Marian, my goodness you look incredible."
"Why thank you Tom. Are you ready to go?"
He stands there staring at me for a moment then finally says, "Yes of course. I booked us a table at an Italian place called Mastrianos. I hope that's ok."
