The end of another hard day at work, Laura sighed with relief as she leaned back in her chair. The relief however was short lived, glancing down at her desktop she saw the date, it was her anniversary. She had been seeing her boyfriend, James, for six months now. She quickly gathered her things together and rushed down the stairs to the exit. As she got the door she could see the grey, overcast sky just waiting for her to step outside before releasing a torrent of water onto her.
As expected, when Laura stepped through the door into the busy high street the rain began to fall heavily from the sky. It was bad enough when this happened when she was just rushing home, but tonight she had to go to an antiques shop to collect the gift she had selected for James.
Laura arrived at the antiques shop and was completely soaked through. The antiques dealer greeted her with a warm smile.
"Hello" Laura said politely, "I've come to collect a silver pocket watch here is the reservation card."
The elderly gentleman took the card from her and glanced at it; he turned and walked slowly to the back of his shop to collect the watch. He returned with the watch very quickly, it was almost as if he had never left. Laura took the watch from him and inspected it carefully, when she was satisfied that it was perfect she handed it to the dealer to wrap for her. He set the correct date and time before wrapping it quickly. Laura was intrigued by the elderly mans speed; it took no time at all for him to wrap the watch. Laura handed over the correct money and turned to head out of the door, the dealer called after her
"I hope the watch gives you as much enjoyment as it has given me, just be careful with it....." the door slammed and Laura didn't hear the old man's warning.
"Of course I'm going to be careful with it" she mumbled under her breath, "it cost enough!"
Eventually Laura arrived home, she was completely soaked through. She walked into the bedroom and glanced in the mirror, her large pink nipple visible through the soaked material of her bra and blouse. No wonder the antiques dealer had a smile on his face she thought to her self. She changed quickly into a low cut black dress her ample cleavage clearly on show and head out to meet James taking the precious watch with her.
Laura arrived at the restaurant and was only about 5 minutes late, pretty good for her. James stood to greet her admiring her body, her firm cleavage and slim figure made her look irresistible. She sat talking to James about her day enjoying the meal. After the starter they swapped gifts, James was delighted with the watch, an old fashioned looking silver pocket watch which had beautiful intricate patterns on the case. As James admired the case Laura told him about the old antiques dealer and the impressive speed at which he had wrapped the watch. While she told the story all that James could think about was the impressive speed at which he would be undressing her tonight.
After paying the bill, James quickly gathered up his watch and dropped it into his pocket. Suddenly everything went quiet, no one moved, James looked around the room everything had stopped. He stood for a minute wondering what had happened, and then he thought back to the conversation over dinner. What did Laura say about the antique dealer? He pulled the watch out and looked more closely at it, could this watch really stop time?
After examining the watch James found two small buttons near the top, he pressed the first and nothing happened. Tentatively he pressed the second button, as he did everything went back to normal as if nothing had happened. He slid the watch into his pocket, pressing the second button as he did. Again everything stopped, frozen in time; no one moved, not a word was spoken.
A little more adventurous this time, James walked around the room looking to see if there was anyone who could see him. Still no one moved, he checked the whole restaurant, then he moved to the street and still nothing moved. He could stop the world, the power this little watch had given him. What a fantastic gift, James was no glad that Laura had forced him to make such a fuss about their six month anniversary.
James returned to the table where Laura was still sitting, he ran his fingers across her soft face feeling her warm skin. Remembering why he was in the restaurant he decided that he would take Laura home and play with the watch another time. Returning to his seat he pressed the button and everything started around him again.
James and Laura headed out into the street and jumped a taxi home. They entered their flat and James headed to the sofa his head still spinning with ideas of how he could use the watch. While his imagination ran wild Laura had gone into the bedroom to sort the second part of her surprise.
