Kara looked in the mirror. She'd never done anything like this before! She wondered whether or not she should have all the way home, but it was too late. It was late enough she was sure Greg had found the note not too long after she left. She only knew his first name, and that was because it was on the name tag he wore at her favorite boutique. She loved clothes, and shopped at the chic store several times a month. Greg had sold her a very sexy red mini skirt the first day he had worked there, and she had felt an instant attraction. From that day on she would only let him wait on her.
They had been exchanging "looks" for months now and it was driving her crazy. Today had been too much! Greg had been his usual charming self, and of course he had waited on her. His hand lingered against hers just a little longer than necessary when he took her check, and their eyes met. The spark that flashed between them made her weak in the knees. But still he didn't say anything to her.
She had parked next to him in the parking lot. She had seen him getting in or out of his truck several times, so she knew it was his. "I'd like to get to know you better" she had boldly written. She had signed it simply, "K". He had taken her checks enough times to at least know her name, if he was interested at all. She quickly folded the note and stuck it in his door, right next to the handle. Then she'd driven away and gone home before she could change her mind. "Okay then, now what?" she thought out loud.
She found out a short time later when the phone rang. She picked up the receiver. "Hello." she said.
"Hello, Kara?" a male voice asked.
"This is Kara." she replied, "Hi, Greg."
"I'd like to get to know you better, too. When can we get together?" he asked eagerly.
"I'm free tomorrow night," she answered him. "How does that sound?"
"Can I pick you up?" he offered.
"No, I'll meet you." she answered firmly.
"I get off work at about 7:00." he told her. "Can you meet me at the store?"
"Sure," she answered, wondering why he wanted to meet at the store. "I'll be there just after 7:00"
Kara hung up the phone smiling. Greg was very hot. He had an attractive face, and took very good care of his body. Her mind flashed for a moment on how it might feel to be in his arms. She was looking forward to the following evening.
She arrived at the store at ten after seven. The parking lot was almost empty, with only two cars left. She waited for a few minutes, and then decided he must be waiting for her inside. She went to the front entrance. It was dark inside already, but she could see the lights were on in the back, so she tapped on the glass and peered in. There was Greg coming toward her, smiling that dazzling smile that showed the little dimple by the corner of his mouth.
He unlocked the door and told her, "Come in! I'm just running a little bit late, and my boss and I were just about ready to get out of here. Why don't you come back and say hi." He led her to the back of the store while he continued talking. "Kara, this is the owner of the store, Phil. Phil, this is Kara."
They made the customary greetings and shook hands. Kara immediately warmed to Phil. He was also very attractive, and his smile was very welcoming. Phil told her they were just about finished, and if she didn't mind waiting a few minutes, Greg would be ready. He told her to feel free to wander about the store if she liked. She did just that. She was between the rows of dressing rooms, holding a dress in front of her when Greg came to find her. Their eyes met in the mirror in front of her.
"There you are!" he smiled at her. "Wow, that's a great dress. I bet it would look really hot on you. Why don't you go ahead and put it on?"
