Author's Notation: Ok, so I actually didn't intend for this story to be this long or this drawn out or this late. This was supposed to be the final chapter, but one idea led to another and...well, this is how it turned out. Also, life kinda kicked me in the ass and bogged me down, so it took time to finish this. In any case, enjoy.
Final chapter coming soon. Hopefully sooner than it took for this to come out.
====================
I came home from work to a sunny morning. It was actually kinda nice, the early signs of a perhaps pleasant spring day. The weekend had passed and thanks to my little interaction with Sharon a few days ago, I had missed my opportunity to head out Friday. Not that I'm sure I'd complain about that. There were other opportunities to take the day for myself. Like today, for example. I was off for the night and had long since made plans about getting out and enjoying the weather. I was gonna hit the city, take in some sites and attractions. Which ones could be called to question, but I'd figure that out once I get downtown.
Once home, I had showered and changed clothes, not wanting to have that aura of "I just got off work" on me. As I was redressing, my thoughts started to focus on Sharon. It was no secret between us that we were getting closer to one another. I guess I was starting to develop an attraction to her? I don't know. Sure, we've been fooling around lately, but I haven't seen or spoken to her since Friday when she blew me. A part of that I'm sure was because she knew she still owed me money and didn't want to risk any potential altercation between her and I, something I assured her wouldn't come.
But then there's Craig, who should've been gone by now. Why that wasn't the case right now was anyone's guess. But I knew the sooner she got rid of him, the better off she would be. And all of a sudden, thinking of that caused me to contemplate the possibility of her getting with me instead. Heh, go figure. Two months ago, it wouldn't have even been a concept. Now it's something I'm giving some serious thought to. Funny what life throws at you, huh? I wonder what she's doing today, too.
I picked up my phone and sent her a text. It was a little early, maybe 8:30 in the morning, but perhaps she's up? After about 5 minutes, I got my answer in a reply saying that she had been up for a little while and her and Craig had been going at it. Currently, she was alone watching a movie that she really wasn't interested in but just passing time until something came up for her. Shrugging to myself, I took the opportunity and asked her to join me for the day. Just the two of us. The reply to the request didn't take long as she eagerly agreed saying that it was too nice to remain inside all day.
It took another half hour before Sharon was ready. When I finally saw her, I had to say she looked great. It was too warm for the puffy black jacket she had before, so she switched to a lighter jean jacket that only really came down to her midriff. She was also wearing a tight pink shirt which strangely accentuated her body, giving it a better physique than I've been used to seeing. It made her tits stick out a little more against her flat stomach. She was wearing a pair of tight blue jeans as well along with black sandals. Her red hair was in a ponytail, pulling away from her face. Again, admittingly, she looked great.
She beamed a bright smile when she saw me, thanking me for inviting her out. I smiled back and reminded her on what she said about it being too good of a day to remain inside. As she passed me while heading out the door, I caught a whiff of her perfume. It was strange mixture of vanilla and what I thought to be maybe rosemary or some exotic scent. It was intoxicating. Couldn't help but feel a little captivated by it. I wonder if I just never noticed it before or if she wore that scent specifically for this occasion.
We discussed the different possibilities as we headed out to the bus stop, and by the time the bus showed up, we had our plan ready. Upon entering the city, we walked around the skyscrapers, discussing things as we took in the sites. Sharon was still bent on paying me back for the money she owed and didn't want to put a rift between us because of it. I calmed her, telling her that as long as she can pay me back at some point, I won't bug her for it and that she need not focus on that today. The day was to be for us to enjoy ourselves and not let heavy moods dwell over us.
