At first I was thrilled to make the switch to working from home full time. I could work in my PJs or even naked if I wanted! What I didn't take into account was how lonely and boring it could be. No more cuties to flirt with in the hall, no more innuendo from my naughty co-worker, and worst of all, I would no longer see our firm's sexiest client.
Michael M. is the youngest VP at P.W. Corp. Tall, roguishly handsome, and extremely sexy, Michael looks as though he is just slightly out of place in his exquisitely tailored suit. It's as if he might spontaneously pop his buttons and rip the seams of his $2000 silk/cashmere blend jacket. I don't know why it seems this way, perhaps it's just because I want so badly to see him unclothed. I am ridiculously attracted to him in a way that made working across the table from him almost impossible. Everything he said, no matter how innocent, sounded like sex to me. I read so much into so little. I knew I was being silly- guys like Michael go for the Gingers not the Mary Ann's. Or, so I thought.
After three weeks of not seeing him, my crush on Michael was just a little nagging thought every now and then. I was ensconced in the depression of working in my spare bedroom. I had stopped getting dressed unless I had to run an errand. Makeup? Forget it! I was looking and feeling like shit. One morning, I was in the shower when the phone rang. I hopped out to answer it- in case it was my boss. I was absolutely thrilled to discover I had no towel. Great, I thought, as I bounded towards the living room dripping all over the carpet and hoping I hadn't left the curtains open. All I needed was another neighbor or maintenance guy to see me naked.
"Hello" I answered breathlessly.
"Hi", said the deep voice on the phone. Definitely not my boss, but the voice was familiar.
"Angel, it's Michael M." ...pause... I could hardly believe it- I was naked and on the phone with him. My mind immediately started to go to some very naughty places.
"Angel, are you there?" he asked.
"Uh, Yes. Hi, Michael. I'm sorry, I was just elsewhere for a moment", I said. God, was that utterly stupid? Do I sound like some sort of a ditz. Ug. I heard a little chuckle on the other end of the line as he said, "
You sounded a bit out of breath. Were you running or..." Is it just me or was that really flirty.
"I was in the shower" Oh SHIT. I just told him I was in the shower.... It's 10:30 he probably thinks I'm a total slob.
"So, does that mean you're not dressed yet? Because I was hoping I could stop by to pick up those comps you've been working on."
