Description
The shorthand was a hair past 5 as the weekend was just warming up. Jim, a mid level executive with am upper floor office, has a picturesque skyline view of the city. Dim chatter of phone calls being made and clicking of keyboards echoed throughout the halls. Jim, reviewing his presentation for the 100th time, learning forward, eyes locked on his computer screen, one hand clenching a stress ball and the other and the other on his mouse, searches for any possibility to strengthen his presentation for early next week. Sarah enters into Jim’s office stealth like.
“How do I look?”
“Ahhh!! You scared me.”
He says, startled by a coworker interrupting his concentration and causing him to almost leap out of his chair. Sarah, just a few floors down, has called it quits for the day and ready to cease the weekend. Sarah met Jim went in college. They took a lot of the same business and finance course and thus were in the same study groups.
Sarah ask again. “Well….. How do I look?”
“Terrible, Scary. I am going to have night mares.” Jim replied sarcastically
“Jim! You didn’t even look at me. Would you at least look at me?”
“Ok! Ok!” Jim, with an uninterested demeanor, looks up from his desk for a few seconds as Sarah gives him the 360 tour. “You look fine.”
“Just fine?” Sarah questions. ”No. No. No. I want to look fantastic. I want to look spectacular. I want this to be a night to remember. I am meeting in less than an hour. He is taking me to a very nice restaurant and I want everything to be perfect”
“Perfect? Spectacular? Is this a business meeting or a date?”Jim asks
“This is a very important date because I would like to have a serious boyfriends before the next decade comes and goes.” Sarah says frantically.
Sarah walks over to Jim’s desk and turns her back to him. “Could you help me with this necklace?”, she asks as she pulls her hair out the way.
“Don’t they sell the stretchy kind so you don’t have to hook and unhook yourself?” As Jim links the necklaces ends together he gets a whiff of her evening scent. “Hey! That is some nice perfume you got there.”
“You really like it?”
“Yeah it has some soothing calming agents. So, if you bore him, at least he will be relaxed”
“Ha Ha! Real funny. Now dance with me” Sarah demands as she flips the radio on his desk to a station playing dancing music and turns the volume up just enough to faintly hear outside the office.
“What? Now?”
“No tomorrow. Yes now”
“But, I got work to do”
“It can wait. Besides employee moral is also your responsibility. Team work! Remember, we are a team. We are suppose to help each other.“
“Alright Alright” Jim replies
Jim unenthusiastically gets out of his chair and begins to dance with sarah
Uhh.. Do you mind holding me closer?”
“Uhhh.. well…. I didn’t want to….”
“Just hold me closer.”
Jim pulls Sarah in Closer
“Do you mind looking me in the eyes while we dance?”
“Uh … well…. you know…. I didn’t want to ….”
“Just look me in the eyes please? Thanks.”
At that moment bodies close, air filled with beautiful fragrance and music. As they glazed into each others eyes and their hearts panting. There was only one thing to be said, could be said, must be said....In a whisper soft voice they continue
“I have something I really important need to tell you Jim”
“What’s that?”
“You are standing on my foot”
