I was at the grocery store in the "10 items or less line", getting a few last minute items to take to my elderly folks house when I ran into her. I was just back in my home town for the day to get some errands and chores done at their house and then it would be back to the big city for me. But something about this tall, blonde lady at the check out counter looked very familiar to me.
"Did you find everything you needed today?" she asked, looking up at me from the conveyor belt. It didn't take long for her to grab the loaf of bread, 12 pack of beer and two cans of baked beans and run them past the scanner.
"Yes, I did, thanks," I said, grabbing a glance at her name tag. I always had second thoughts about looking at a female employees name tag. It was always nice because you could also check out her chest and see what size tits she had. But it could also be embarrassing if you were caught gazing too long. The name tag said "Nancy."
"Do you have a Super Value Card?" she asked.
"Yes, I do. Here." My mother had given hers to me to make sure I save a few cents on the sale items. Personally, I don't like the idea of anyone tracking what I buy but anything that saves money for the folks on their fixed income was a good idea. Plus, it gave me a chance to take a longer look at Nancy. She looked familiar but nothing was clicking yet.
Nancy was about 5' 8" tall, a shapely figure but one that showed she was no longer 20 years old, probably something closer to 40, my age. Her hair was a cute, shoulder length curly blonde but her other features indicated it was probably too blonde not to be died. It didn't matter really, it was a good color for her. She also had these pretty brown eyes that seemed to close up when she smiled and she did have a pretty smile.
"Simpson! Paul Simpson! I thought that was you!" she said as she handed my change back. Finally it hit me.
"Nancy? My goodness I haven't seen you in ages!" We both moved around the counter to give each other that friendly "nice to see you" hug that friends do. No lower body contact, just a light hug.
"Nancy" was Nancy Colgate when we were in high school together but who knows what her last name might be now. After 20 years, it was likely that she was either married or had been at least once so I wasn't going there. She still had that adorable smile and cute figure. She was one grade ahead of me so we didn't socialize much in school. She had a sister in my grade that was a bit on the wild side. Cheryl had a great body and terrific tits at an early age that all the boys enjoyed staring at. But she was a party girl and needed excitement. Definitely not the kind of action nerdy types like me supplied.
Nancy and I had gone on a date once when I came home for a visit from college but nothing materialized out of it. I'm not sure if she wasn't interested in me or I just tried to get into her pants too fast. For whatever reason, it was a one-date relationship.
"How have you been? I haven't seen you in town in forever!" she said. She was flashing that contagious smile again. Granted, she wasn't the skinny teenage girl that wore low rise jeans years ago but she still had a great figure.
"Well, I don't get into town often and normally I don't run into anyone I recognize anymore. But it's great to see you!"
Nancy finished bagging my items and handed them to me.
"Where are you working now?" she asked.
"I'm still surviving in the software industry, though I'm trying not to travel as much. Right now I'm with Enterprise Systems. They're out of Denver but I get to work out of my house in Phoenix."
"You know something about computers? What are you doing in 15 minutes?" She asked, somewhat excitedly and smiling ear to ear. I knew she had something up her sleeve just by her reaction.
"Nothing after I deliver these to my folks. Why?" I asked.
"I really need some help with my computer at home. I just got it and desperately need to get it set up to access the internet but have no clue how to do it and don't want to pay someone a hundred bucks to come to the house and do it for me. I'm off in 15 minutes. Can I bribe you into coming by to take a look at it? I promise it won't take long! I promise!" she said.
Much as I hated working on a day off, I really couldn't resist her. Plus it would be fun to catch up on things with someone I actually liked while I was living in this small town. What the hell?
"Not a problem," I said. "Let me drop off these items and I'll meet you out front. Then I can follow you and see if we can get you up and running."
"Great," Nancy said. "Meet you out front in 15 minutes. And thanks."
"Thank me after we get your computer fixed. I'm not even sure I can help you yet," I said.
I took my groceries and headed for the exit to the grocery store. After taking 5 steps, I took a second to glance back and take another look at Nancy. Granted, grocery store outfits are not the most sexy things in the world but they let her wear black jeans and a blue polo shirt with tennis shoes. They weren't tight but they did let some of her figure show.
Coincidentally, I noticed she was checking me out at the same time as I was taking my second look. Being my weekend time, polo shirts and baggy shorts were the name of the game today. Nothing much to show off but I still sported some muscular legs. The good news is the baggy shorts were hiding my progressively growing hard on.
Doesn't matter. It was just kind of exciting to know we were each checking each other out. Maybe this would lead to dinner sometime? My social life could certainly use the jump start.
I was just returning to the grocery story parking lot after dropping the groceries when she came bouncing out of the store. Nancy was still in uniform and, seeing me, waved at me to follow her toward her car. She jumped in and rolled her window down to give me directions.
