It was such a rough week, and it was only Wednesday! You happened to come in to your office for the first time in forever. I had noticed you on a few visits, but you were there so sporadically I never expected to see you. Especially not today. I was so frustrated I was about to cry. My car wouldn't start, my phone was too full to download Uber and I was waiting to connect to the wifi to upload some pictures I wasn't ready to delete so I could clear space. And I had to get home! It was almost 4, and my husband kept texting about having to leave for work, and no one could watch the kid... I hissed at the phone "just stop!" And you immediately stopped next to me.
"Im so sorry! I was talking to my phone, not you." I looked up and saw it was you, the silver fox with those sparkling blue eyes. "Oh, hi! I know you! I mean I've noticed, seen you around here. Haha it's probably where you work."
What the hell, Jane. Act sane. He doesn't know what you imagined doing to him that time you were behind him on the elevator. He didn't know how brazen you were, that the hand that brushed against his thigh was yours, that it wasn't an accident, and that it would have stayed if you hadn't reached the lobby.
"I mean, hi, I'm Jane. I work on 17."
"Gregg," you say while offering your fist for a bump. "What's the problem with the phone?"
"Ugh - it's just full of photos and I need to upload some to storage before I can download Uber, and I can't connect to the building wifi, and I just need to get home," I said in one breath. I huffed through the mask that was covering my mouth, and realized even if you had seen me before you probably wouldn't have recognized me with sunglasses and a mask on.
You offered to help me with the wifi, and I accepted, not thinking about anything but getting home on time, and that I completely fucked up my introduction. I wanted to come off as calm and collected as I am at work, not all stumble and emotional.
I guess you had a magic touch because it connected. I reached for it, but you swiped the windows up, maybe out of habit with your own phone or maybe to back out and check the settings, but the next window under the wifi was my photo album, and it was open to some racy photos I had taken the night before when I tried on the new bra and panty set I'd ordered online and was currently wearing under my dress.
I reached for the phone, and tried to take it out of your hand, and you begrudgingly released it.
"I need to delete those..." I stammered, looking down at the phone like it could suck me into it.
"You really shouldn't."
There was something in your voice when you spoke that let me know you knew it was me in the elevator. You knew I wanted you. You knew I needed more than a ride home, but that was what you offered, and I hastily accepted. I grabbed my bag, and tried to pretend you hadn't already basically seen me naked, and gave you my address while I tried to keep up with you on the way to the garage.
"Are you sure I'm not too far out of the way," I asked. "I would really hate to put you out. This is so kind of you."
"You're right on the way to where I'm headed. Not to worry." You turned and noticed my speed and slowed your pace.
"Flip flops," I say, seeing your shift in pace. "It's so much more comfortable to drive in them instead of my work heels, so I just leave them at my desk, but the lobby is so slippery."
I recognize I'm rambling and just chew my lip to keep myself from continuing.
We reach your car and you open the passenger door. I lower myself in and glance up, catching you staring down my dress. I put my bag on the floor and adjust the belt across my chest, straightening my dress to give you more of an angle. You stand there for one beat more, and my eyes are at your belt line. I can't help but feel my mouth salivate as I look at you - close enough to pull your zipper down with my teeth, but then you say "watch your hands," as you close the door, and I say out loud in the empty car, "you watch your hands..." but then you open the drivers side door and say "what did you say?"
"Just thanks. Thank you for your help. I don't know how I can repay you." Good job Jane. You didn't make an ass of yourself.
"It's really no bother," you say, "but I'm sure I can think of something if you insist."
