The smell of rain clung to my long taupe coat as I entered the building; leaving the crashing thunder behind in my wake. The receptionist glanced up as I entered and waved me through with a grin. Gillian. That was her name, I thought to myself as I smiled back at her; an innocent looking redhead with a breathy voice and very full lips. The lips were the first thing I noticed when I met her, yet I doubted that she realized that she could bring men to their knees with those lips; and some women too.
Shaking my head slightly, more to shake the thoughts of Gillian from my mind than to remove the droplets of water that clung to my clothes, I made my way toward Matt's office; the sole reason I was there on this winterly day. Catching a few curious glances on my way, I realized that nobody has expected my presence today and certainly not in a long belted coat with black leather boots & vibrant red lips.
The office to Matt's door was open as I approached, his back to me while he talked on the phone, looking out at the city bathed in a spectacular storm. I entered the room and slid the door shut behind me; careful not to make a sound. The blinds leading to the outer office were closed and I thought briefly about leaving them that way, but instinct took over and with a swish that coincided with a thunderclap, I opened them to see a lot of curious faces staring at me. Soon diverting their eyes to their work, I turned back and made my way towards Matts desk.
He was deeply involved in his conversation, not noticing me in the room at all. Extending my finger, with a crimson fingertip I pressed down on the phone receiver, abruptly ending his call. "What the f..." He started as he spun around on his chair, his green eyes flashing angrily. Raising a finger to my lips I stared at him, my eyes demanding his silence.
Moving toward him I licked my lips, my fingertips moving to the belt on my coat. I made it to his desk and moved his chair back against the window with my foot; the black toe of my leather boots making him slide against the wall.
Matt appeared startled as I placed myself on the edge of his desk, my foot not leaving his seat. Again I held my finger to my lips, and slowly I undone my belt, letting my coat fall open to reveal I was wearing only my coat, boots and a smile.
