Chad awoke with a start, and after checking the clock on his nightstand, tried to make sense of the latest bizarre dream. Yesterday it was sitting at his desk in boxers; today he was on a game show. For the past week, each morning began the same, and he felt as if he was staring down another rigorous set of final examinations. And while the stress was real, the "test" was not.
Monica was interviewing. At his company. Today.
Monica. He let her name roll around in his mind as the first traces of dawn came through his bedroom window. To him, she was the very definition of passion. And although the relationship had morphed into something more akin to friendship, the desire remained. Well his desire, at least. His penis began to swell with the memories of her, and he thought about masturbating to ease the pressure that was sure to come from spending a good part of the day in her presence. Ultimately, he got out of bed, preferring to have the tension come off as genuine excitement, and mostly to have a new outfit to mentally take off her that evening.
He arrived at work earlier than usual, as was rewarded with a glimpse of her as she entered his boss's office. She looked amazing in her black suit, accented with a red blouse. While all colors were Monica's friend, the red worked exceptionally well with her complexion. He sat in his office impatiently waiting his turn, wondering how best to begin their conversation. It was easier than he had imagined, as she entered with his secretary making unnecessary introductions, and once the door closed, a friendly hug.
"So, what would you like to talk about? We've only discussed everything about the position for the last month."
"I know, right? I'm really excited, and your boss seems great. Is she always that nice?"
"Well, I've never seen her completely lose her cool, and have always appreciated her support. Like I told you, it's a great company, and I think you would fit in here perfectly."
"Good, because I really want this. Now I just have to convince everyone else."
"Well, you are off to a great start, in my humble, unbiased opinion. All you all set for your presentation?"
"Yeah, I know your opinion. I'm ready, but would you mind if we cut this a little short? I need to take a little break before I present."
"Not a problem. Do you know your way around enough to get where you need to go?"
"Sure. Mind if I leave my bags here?"
"Of course. I'll see you in a few minutes."
Chad watched as she walked down the hall, admiring the view. She was definitely fit, and her walk reminded him how amazing she looked from behind wearing nothing but heels. Once the memory faded and he was able to stand up without causing someone to call HR, he made his way to the conference room.
Monica presented as well as Chad had expected, and he took full advantage of staring at her throughout. As she answered questions at the end, Monica made her way to his side of the room, standing less than a foot from where he sat. Having her that close was mesmerizing, and Chad felt his skin tingle as if he had been mildly shocked. After he returned to his office, one of his co-workers stood in his office door and whispered, "Chad, she is amazing. We have got to have her!"
Chad smiled, and replied, "I couldn't agree more."
At the end of the day, Monica emerged from the wrap-up session, wearing a smile that told him all he needed to know. After thanking his boss for the opportunity to interview, she sat down in Chad's office, looking relieved.
"That's a good sign. What did she say about the timeline?"
"She said there is one more candidate next week, and then the committee would make its recommendation to her. I'm going to hate waiting that long."
"Well, if it's any comfort, I've seen your 'competition', and trust me, he's not in your league."
"Ugh! Why you can't you just be the boss?"
Chad laughed, "Right! Wouldn't that be something?"
Monica smiled mischievously. "It could be."
