"Shit. Shit. Shit." I muttered to myself. I was furiously trying to wipe my blouse off. It was pointless. The dark coffee blotch was spreading slowly across my cream satin blouse. There was nothing I could do about it.
"Rough morning?" he said with a smirk while I clumsily fiddled with napkins.
"Uhh, ha, oh, um, this..." I trailed off.
"Here, have mine." He set down his Starbucks cup. "See you tonight?"
"Um, I'm not; well, maybe, I don't know yet," I said, pretending to be busy trying to clean off the ruined shirt.
"You should come. For real. It's fun. And for charity. Anyway, see you in a bit." He waved behind him as he walked out of the break room.
I stood there awkwardly for a moment and scuttled into the bathroom. I looked in the mirror, "Why are you so fucking weird? Oh my god." It was that stupid ruffled brown hair of his. And the way he always rolled up his shirt sleeves, showing his gorgeous arms and his scruff and everything. For lack of a better word, I was obsessed like a teenage crush. I hadn't been that awkward around a boy since middle school. I was fine with men, great even; they were easy. I pulled plenty. And a few girls in my time. But fucking Lucas, he tripped me up like no one else. He had to think I was some shy, awkward mousey little thing. I wasn't. Business casual didn't suit me at all, and I hated work and was obsessed with him. Ever since I sat down on my first day a few months ago and saw my cubicle mate, every sex dream and fantasy was about him. Which also made it impossible to speak like a normal human around him. I got myself together and went about my work day, peeking over at him whenever I got the chance.
"Okay, you have to come tonight. I've invited you like three times. It will be fun I promise." He spun around in his chair to face me.
I reluctantly turned to face him. "Okay. I'll come. I promise." I promise I'll cum, I thought to myself.
"Hell yeah. It's goofy but at least you can justify raising money for the free library."
"Yeah, I just have to go home and change first. It's Greene's, right?" Greene's was a local dive bar. Good for cheap drinks or free if you flirted with the bartender enough.
"Yeah. I haven't been there before. I have to head out a little early. I promised Jeff I would help him set up. But I'll see you there."
"Yup, see you there." I waved as he walked off.
It was some painting thing his buddy ran a few times a month at different bars. I didn't know what. I didn't want to go. But I promised this time. I made my way home and sighed comfortably, taking off my ugly work clothes. I slipped on a pair of baggy jeans and a t-shirt but decided to switch out my t-shirt for a tiny cropped white tube top instead. If I was gonna go, I might as well look hot. Maybe he would make a move, and I could stop being weird. Fuck, I was nervous. I took one too many shots on my way out the door to calm my nerves and was feeling pleasantly buzzed when I got there.
"Larry! You old perv!" I yelled to the bartender when I walked in.
"Alice! Nice tits." He called back as he poured me a shot of whiskey.
"Fuck off, Larry." I took the shot and kissed him on the cheek. He was an old perv but was harmless. I'd been coming there for years, and he never did anything other than kick out guys that messed with me and give me free drinks. Well, and talk about my tits a lot, but I didn't mind. He poured me a beer, and I took a big swig.
"Going hard tonight?" He asked.
"There's a guy who invited me to the painting thing downstairs. I have a huge crush on him and act like an awkward weirdo every time he talks to me. It's embarrassing. I'm trying to nut up." I told him.
