Today was totally unexpected. Wow! I don't know what I did to deserve it, but I really needed to figure it out so I could continue doing it! Today was HOT HOT HOT! And- twice in a week! Hell, I wasn't used to all this attention anymore. In just a short span of time, I'd gone from a two and a half years of never at all, to twice in one week! Honestly, I wasn't even sure what to make of it. Not at all. One thing was for damn sure though. I liked it. A lot!
Again, I simply can't express enough that he took me totally by surprise today. Certain obvious circumstances dictated that our time together be extremely limited. So, to say his appearance in my office at the end of the duty day was unexpected would definitely be classified as an understatement. Even now, sitting in my favorite chair on the patio, relaxing with a glass of perfectly chilled Gerwertztraminer and a cigarette, I can't help but smile in surprised wonder as I (again) replay every delicious detail of our latest tryst.
I glanced up at the clock on the wall just above the front door. "1542," it read. Good grief! How on earth did time get away from me again today? Well, I suppose there's something to be said for getting lost in your work. With a sigh of resignation, I began to take inventory of the numerous programs, emails, and whatnot that were still open on my monitor. One by one, I began to save my work and close them out for the day.
Just as I was down to the last three- our database and a couple of emails that still required a response, I heard the door open. I looked up from the screen at about the time it closed again, but saw no one, so I went back to my work, thinking it was one of the several occasions someone had stuck their head in and left, after thinking no one was there. "Being short has its perks," I smiled to myself, then peeked around the side of the monitor, just to be on the safe side. Nothing. I chuckled to myself a bit at my unfounded nervousness, then damn near leaped clear out of my skin when he popped up suddenly over the top of the monitor!
"Jesus Christ!" I sputtered. "You fucking asshole!" I sent him a glare that I hoped would look sufficiently mean. Of course, it was tough to be angry. One- it was funny as hell! Two- it was about the nicest shock to my system I'd had all damned day. He just stood there, laughing at his prank, grinning from ear to ear.
Within seconds, I was mesmerized, lost in the genuine enjoyment in his deep blue eyes, and the way his laughter made them crinkle up just slightly around the corners. I shook my head slightly to clear it. "Dick!" I grumbled fiercely. But I was already starting to smile to myself. Then, a giggle escaped from between my lips. Finally, I gave up, and laughed with him.
"Anyway," I said, once the laughter died down, "I take it you're done for the day?"
"Yep," he replied, still grinning, "Or, at least, I'm not fucking doing anything else!"
"Fair enough," I nodded. "Wanna walk me out then?"
"Hurry up!" now it was his turn to feign fierceness.
"Alright, just let me finish this email..."
"Ugh! Really?"
"C'mon. It'll only take a minute. It's to Chief."
