The week had been long & it was only Thursday. There were still a couple others still in the office and she had to drag her mind back to the task at hand. Only another hour and a half then she would leave. An IM message popped up ... "you in the office?" It was Mark. They had worked together at her old company and kept in touch. She IM'd back "yes."
"I need to get out of here for a while. Want to meet for a drink?"
The strain of the day caught up real quick & she made a quick decision. "Sure."
With the arrangements made she start packed up her desk & prepared to leave. Co-workers chuckled that she was in a hurry. "I have an invite for drinks" she told them, smiling.
It was close to her office, but she had never been there before. He was waiting when she drove up and parked. They kissed & hugged their hellos before heading inside. First there was conversation over glasses of Asti Spumante, which was followed by a delectable dinner. Time seemed to fly and 2 hours passed before she was aware of it.
"Are you in a hurry to get home, Nikki?" he asked. Her answer was "No."
In the end they drove around checking out some sites in the city and talking about Nikki's sex life, past & present. Much of it he already knew from previous conversations, but he seemed to like hearing about it. Mark also found out something new -- it had been quite some time since Nikki had last been with a lover.
Mark found a quiet street leading to a reservoir entrance -- not too many buildings and not busy at that time of night. Parking the vehicle he turned off the lights. He made himself comfortable, removing his seatbelt & reclining his seat a few degrees. Nikki turned to look at him in the darkness, seeing only a glint of light reflected from the far off streetlights.
