This story is homage to those old Penthouse stories your father used to read and you found under his bed. The ones that always started with the first line "I know you won't believe this but every word is true". This is our take on that story.

I know you won't believe this but every word is true.
My name is Blake and I work in an office with about a hundred people. Most of them are men doing the same job I do but then we have a few women as clerks and receptionists. Whenever a new person is hired an employee in their department walks them around the office to introduce them to everyone. When it's a chick, most the guys, including me are interested in seeing the 'new girl', hoping she's hot so there is some eye candy around this mostly male dominated office.
A couple of weeks ago was one of those times. We all got an email telling us that a Kristen had been hired as a new clerk and the next Monday she was introduced to us. The first time I saw her, I was sitting behind my computer at my desk and a knock sounded on my open door. I turned to see who it was and saw, Janet another clerk with a stunning blond standing next to her. I must have looked like a fool because my breath caught in my throat and I forgot I had my headphones around my neck connected to my computer when I tried to stand up.
By the time I finally got untangled to shake Kristen's hand, she was grinning and I felt really stupid. I think I said like two words to her and she moved on to the next person. Good holy hell she was damn hot, with beautiful blond hair, blue eyes and from what I could see without staring, a body from heaven. Her breasts were perky and large for her skinny toned form and she stood about five seven I would guess. Her face was gorgeous and I immediately wanted to shake her hand and the manager that hired her.
Well, anyway I didn't see her for the rest of the day but she sure was the talk of the department. She was by far the hottest girl in the office and some greatly needed eye candy.

The next morning I was getting my first cup of coffee and around the corner came Kristen. I handled myself much better this time and said hi to her. She smiled and I could tell she didn't remember my name.
"Blake," I said.
"Right, hi Blake... how are you today?" she asked, moving to get her own cup.
"I'm great. How are you liking it here?" I asked.
"So far so good," she said, sipping her coffee and then adding some creamer and sugar.
Damn she looked fine. She had tight body hugging jeans on and a shirt that formed to her breasts like paint. Her hair was curly this morning, almost like she had gone to extra effort to curl it. I looked her up and down as she was busy with her coffee. Finished, she turned, took a sip and looked at me over her cup, her eyes were amazing. I suddenly couldn't look away and was almost hypnotized by them.
"Something wrong?" she asked. "Something on my face?"
"No, nothing... sorry," I said, turning to leave.
Okay so I didn't handle the second time seeing her much better and felt like an idiot again when I got back to my office. I figured any chance I had of even being a friend was gone. I was sure I had come off as a total geek loser twice now.
Later that day, I was eating lunch in my office and someone knocked on my closed door. I hate when someone bugs me on my lunch break but I got up anyway and opened it. It was Janet, the other clerk that introduced everyone to Kristen. It was strange for her to be at my door, I don't normally work with her much.
"What's up?" I asked, wanting to get back to my food.
"I just thought I'd let you know that Kristen asked about you. I thought it noteworthy since you were the only one she has mentioned since I introduced her to everyone.
"Seriously? What did she say?"
"She wanted to know if you were single, she assumed you were since she noticed you didn't have ring on your finger but was making sure."
My heart jumped in my chest and I didn't know what to make of this? Was Janet screwing with me? Did someone see me make a fool of myself at the coffee pot and now they put her up to this to fuck with me. Pranks around the office were not uncommon. I played it cool.
"That's strange, seeing as how I've been a dweeb around her."
"She mentioned that as well. Thought it was cute."
"Great, well thanks for, whatever this is?"
"Sure thing," Janet said and left my office.
I closed the door behind her, sat behind my desk and stared at my food. It was most likely a joke one of my coworkers put Janet up to. I passed it off as such and finished my lunch.
About 2:30 I had to take some files over to a different department and decided to take a path that would pass Kristen's new office. I got everything ready and headed to drop them off. I just expected to glance in and see her as I passed. Just to get a glimpse of her behind her desk or filing something away in a cabinet with her back turned but that's not what happened.
As I passed I looked in of course and our eyes met. I turned quickly away and kept walking until I heard my name. I turned around and went back.
"Did you call me?" I asked.
"Yeah, close the door?" she said.
"Huh? Why?" I asked.
