Ellen used to work for me as a Paramedic. She was short, about 5'4", but very attractive. She had flaming red hair that she kept up in a bun, during duty hours. Ellen was, what some would call, full figured or a BBW. She was carrying about 200 lbs on her short frame and most of that was in her chest, which was about a 42- F. She had a gorgeous face, beautiful green eyes and, even though it is clichΓ©, a wonderful personality. She always had a smile on her face and a cheerful demeanor.
She worked for me for, about, a year and in all that time, as attractive and available as she was, I never made a play for her, as much as I wanted to. She was beautiful and I wanted to start a relationship with her. Unfortunately, my agency was cracking down on any hint of sexual harassment and I didn't feel like getting caught up in any problems with a subordinate. All I could do was watch her coming and going around the ambulance station and look forward to driving home to my empty apartment, having recently separated.
One day, Ellen was promoted to Lieutenant and sent to another station, but one not too distant. My feelings about her had not abated. I would hear her on the radio from time to time and just hearing her voice would bring those feelings back. It took a little bit, but one night Ellen sent me a message over the department computer. "Hey, John. Can you help me with an issue that I'm having with another Lieutenant?"
"Of course", I sent back, "By all means."
"Great, we can grab breakfast when we get off at the diner near your station." End of shift couldn't come fast enough.
Driving to the diner, the questions started swirling in my head. "Did she even have any feelings for me?" "Will she find my attraction cute or would she take me seriously?" I pulled in to the parking lot and she was already there. She was still in uniform, but her hair was down. It reached to the top of her butt and when it framed her face, it made her look even more beautiful. I parked and got out of my truck and she walked over and gave me a hug and kiss on the cheek.
"I haven't seen you in months" she said. "How have you been?"
We went in the diner and continued the small talk. Finally, she got to the point of our breakfast meeting. "Lieutenant Richards has been chasing after me since I was assigned to his station, 4 months ago." Her bottom lip started quivering as she continued.
"He is constantly asking me out, touching me and telling me how great he is in the sack."
"You've been an Officer for about 10 years." "What would be the best way to handle it?"
I could see tears starting to form at the corners of her eyes. As I reached over to dab them off with a napkin, I told her, "There are two ways you can go." "You can either get official and file a complaint through headquarters or you can try messing with him, so he'll just give up and leave you be."
I could tell she was mulling it over in her head. Finally, she came to a decision.
"If I go with paperwork, everyone will know and I'll get a reputation as a rat." " How do you think I can screw with his head to get him to leave me be?"
"Simple", I told her. "Have your boyfriend have a little talk with him." She nodded her head in understanding. We finished up and I paid the bill for breakfast.
We went out to the parking lot and were about to part ways when she turned and asked me "Who would I get to play my boyfriend?"
"Use your real one."
"But, I'm not seeing anyone, right now."
My heart skipped a beat, hearing this information. "By the way, not to bring up a sore subject, but how have you been doing since the divorce?"
"Ok, it's a bit lonely, but I'm doing ok." "In fact, I have someone that I'm interested in, but I'm not sure if she feels the same about me."
Ellen looked at me and said "I've never known you to be shy about anything before." Try asking her out for dinner one night."
Looking in her beautiful green eyes, I told her, "Well, I've already bought her breakfast." "I guess dinner would be the next logical step."
It took a second or two for it to click, but I could see her begin to comprehend what I had just said. "Duh, I feel as dense as a rock." I almost didn't pick up on that."
