Chapter 21
"I'm sorry to hear that, Mandy," Lynn said with mock compassion dripping from her voice.
"It's just a game of golf!" Amanda laughed, "It's going to be fun!" The two young ladies sat in the cafeteria sipping on mediocre coffee. Amanda wore a tight dark blue dress with her white lab coat, complete with pocket protector and ID tags. Lynn had on a peach two piece business suit, with the skirt well above her knees, showing off tanned and toned legs. She wore a snow white blouse unbuttoned a little to display her modest cleavage.
"Knocking a little white ball around pasture land? But it's perfect. It gets all you guys out of the house for several hours."
"You're giving it up to Rob," Amanda gave her a knowing little smile.
"Like I'm going to burst if we don't do it soon."
"Ahhh hi, Lynn."
Lynn looked up with mild annoyance, "Oh hi, Russell."
"Haven't seen you around much lately."
"I'm not in your Section any more, remember?"
"Yeah. Obviously, I know that but you know I'm still used to seeing you around so I thought I'd say hi."
"Well hi. Say hi to Judy for me."
"Trudy?"
"Yeah that's it. Take care." Lynn looked back at Amanda and waited until Russ moved off, "He wants to fuck me so bad," she grinned at Amanda.
"Who doesn't?"
"I flirted with him a bit. Got him all horned up and walked away."
"Lynn!" Amanda exclaimed shocked and then started laughing.
"I was bored! Poor guy probably thinks I was actually going to fuck him. Ahhhh sorrrry!"
"You're bad!"
"I'm in love with Rob."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I think of him all the time. I need and want him soooo bad. The waiting stops this evening."
"Does he know?"
"That I love him or that he's getting laid?"
"Both."
"He don't know about the getting laid part. I'm not sure about the love part."
"Oh, he's in love with you."
"You think?"
"Yes, honey. He looks at you all the time. Even when you think he's not."
"Maybe he's just horny?"
"That too!" Amanda laughed. "So, I'll text you if anyone leaves before we think. We're having dinner after the game. It will be like eleven for sure."
"I'm picking him up at his house after work. You like my suit?"
"So sexy. That guy has won the lottery. You know that, right?"
"He's so sweet and honest and sexy, Mandy. I won it too!"
Lynn drove up to the McLean's and pulled into the driveway. Rob answered the door and gaped at her. "Oh my God, Lynn ... You look amazing ... oh wow ... I don't know what to say ..."
"It's just work clothes, silly," she smiled as she leaned in to give him a kiss, "You gonna grab some pool stuff? We have the place to ourselves this evening!" She looked at him with a sparkle in her eyes and a smirk on her lips.
"I ... ahhhh ... yeah I'll be right back. Ahhhh there's lemonade in the fridge." He went upstairs and she clicked her heels into the kitchen. As she was pouring out some she heard the front door open.
"ROB!" her mother screeched, "Tell Miss Corporate America she's parking in our place!"
Lynn grinned as she walked out of the kitchen. She had an effect on Mr. and Mrs. McLean as well, as they looked at her in the smart peach business suit, the golden cormorant glittering around her neck, and her black hair pinned up to fall about her pretty face in ringlets. "Sorry Kate," she grinned, "I didn't know, I didn't see any oil puddles."
"Could you just please park along the curve next time, Lynn?"
"We're almost ready to go. You can pull the Chevy back in a minute."
"It's not a Chevy," Kate informed her frostily.
"Oh! I can't really tell. Bad day at the library?"
"I don't work at the library and you know it."
Rob heard the chatter filtering up from downstairs but ignored it for now. He looked at himself in the closet mirror. "What does she see in me?" he wondered, "She's like the most beautiful woman in creation. Holy fuck!" With trembling fingers he reached into his sock drawer and pulled out the box of condoms he had got last week. "Am I reading this right? Oh God. Will I even be able to do anything without blowing my load right away?" He pulled out a string of six and put them into the side pocket of his kit bag. He briefly considered masturbation so he wouldn't be too aroused, then he realized suddenly and unexpectedly that he didn't have an erection. Would he be too nervous to do anything even if she wanted too? His stomach was turning to water and his hands were sweaty. "Get a grip, Rob!" he told himself and grabbed his kit bag to head downstairs.
"Well, I'm in Human Resources now but I'm mentoring." Lynn was telling Kate sweetly.
"HR, hey?"
