This is a work of fiction based on an idea that came to me sitting in the rain waiting for someone at a doctor's appointment. This not based on anyone in particular and is just a story. There will not be a rush to sex or love, this story will take the necessary time to develop and will be realistic and romantic.

Any people, places, names, products or events mentioned are done so without permission or endorsement. This is a work of fiction.

My name is Jay and I am 30 years old, 5' 11", have short black hair and consider myself to be in good shape. I manage a small, but busy convenience store, one of three my father and Uncle own together, and I am single and live alone. I've never been married, go on dates occasionally, but mostly work 50 plus hours and keep to myself. Today it was wet, rainy, cold and dreary, and the fact that my only full-time cashier quit with no notice was not helping. I was sitting in the line at the bank listening to Carrie Underwood on the radio and waiting to make my deposit. I wished it would stop raining, I wished I could meet a nice girl, I wished OKLAHOMA CITY would win a title.

I was considering parking and taking the deposit inside when I saw her. Standing there in the rain. No coat, just soaked and standing there getting wetter while staring at the bank. Her name was Emily, she was maybe 21 or 22, and I knew her because she was a regular at my store. She cashes her check every Thursday, buys lottery tickets almost every day for her grandmother, and no matter what, always gets a Cherry Coke and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I pulled forward but still had to wait, and five minutes went by while Emily stood there unmoving, soaked, and staring at the bank. I couldn't imagine her robbing it, so it didn't make sense. I said screw it, maneuvered out of line, and pulled up next to Emily. She continued staring at the bank. It didn't make sense.

I got out, hurried around my car, opened the passenger door, and helped Emily get in. She didn't protest or even flinch, she just got in, sat there, and stared at the bank. I rushed around my car, got in, cranked the heat, and moved to park at the building. Emily sighed but just sat there staring at the bank. I said "Stay here, watch my car, and get warm". Emily turned to look at me, said "Okay" quietly, then turned back to staring at the bank. WTF? I said "I have to make this deposit and then I'm taking you home to get dry and warm" Emily stared at the bank but quietly said "No". No? No to the deposit, no to drying off, or no to getting warm? I asked her and she turned to face me and said "I can't go home" but she stared at me waiting for who knows what. I blinked then said "My place then. I can take you to my apartment and you can warm up and dry off while I look through applications for a cashier". Emily stared at me for a moment, said "I trust you" then turned and resumed staring at the bank. What on Earth? I got out of the car, went inside and made the deposit for my store, then went back outside, got into the car... and Emily was still staring at the bank. Come on.

I drove back to the store and parked and so far Emily had said nothing she hadn't had to. I said "I have to take this in and then we'll go get you dry and warm". Emily stared at me and her eyes were sad and dead as she said "Okay". I asked "Emily, are you alright?" She stared at me emotionless and said "No", then turned and stared out the windshield at who knows what. I went inside, gave the deposit bag to my mother and said "I'm going home to try and find a cashier. Do you need anything?" Mom said "No. Your sister will be here soon and she'll stay with me until Carl comes in. Why are you all wet?" I said "The strangest thing happened" and I told mom about Emily. Mom blinked and said "Poor thing. Make sure she's okay and let me know when you find out what happened. I'll call her grandmother, I know her from bingo". I was at the door and then I stopped, bought a Cherry Coke and 2 packs of Reese's Cups and mom chuckled "Good call". I went to the car and handed Emily the bag and she looked in it, smiled for about 5 seconds, then the blank expression resumed and she said "Thanks". Back to staring out the windshield.

I drove home to the small house my parents rent to me for $100 a month in return for upkeep and maintenance. It's not huge, but I live alone so it works. Well, not completely alone. My cat Thunder lets me live there, so that's nice of him. I parked and got out but Emily sat there staring at my house... maybe... it could have been the tree or the grass or nothing... who knows. I opened her door and she looked at me and blinked twice, then got out and followed me to the door. She stood silent and still as I unlocked and opened the door and then she stepped inside and stood there. I exhaled and said "Emily, I'm worried about you. Are you hurt or injured? Is something wrong?" Emily turned to stare at me and said "No, no and yes". She walked past me, put the candy on my kitchen counter, the soda in the fridge, then stood there waiting for something... maybe nothing. I said "Let's get you into the shower and I'll get you something to wear while I wash your clothes". Emily said "Okay" and I said "Ummm... uhhh... I don't have any women's clothes, especially underwear".

Emily tilted her head but said nothing, instead she just stared at me with an expression that confused me. I may be single and a workaholic, but I know that look and it didn't make sense. Emily has been a regular customer for at least two years and sometimes I see her five or six days a week. But that's it. I've never hit on her or asked her out, and she never let me think there was any interest. So when she looked at me with what I perceived as interest or maybe desire, it came out of nowhere. I led Emily to the bathroom and said "Get undressed and get into the shower. Leave your clothes on the floor and when you're in the shower, I'll grab them and wash them for you. While you warm up in the shower, I'll find something for you to wear. Okay?" Emily stared at me as she asked "Why are you being nice to me?" I answered "Why not? When have I not been nice to you?"

Emily turned to look at herself in the mirror and said "No one is ever nice to me unless they want something". Emily was maybe 5' 9" with shoulder length brown hair, a nice body and was actually very pretty. Whatever or whoever broke her so that she stood in the cold rain and stared at a bank should be ashamed of themselves. I said "Then you're right. I do want something. I want you to get into the shower and get warm, I want you to let me wash and dry your clothes. I want you to let me fix you something to eat. Then, when your warm, fed and safe, I want you to tell me what happened that would make you stand outside in the cold rain and why you didn't let me take you home. That's what I want". Emily didn't say another word, she just pulled her soaked shirt up and off, then dropped it to the floor with a splat. Her body was nicer than I had imagined, and her chest was actually fairly large and full.

I swallowed and said "So I'll go now and let you get into the shower". Emily faced me and said "Wait. Stay. Stay and talk to me". I said "But... you're getting undressed. Don't you want some privacy?" Emily stared at me and asked "Are you going to hurt me?" I gasped "Of course not" and she said "Stay" and then undid her khakis and wriggled them down her legs. I tried not to stare but the more she undressed, the more I liked what I saw. I felt horrible, but she was beautiful despite being soaked, sad and conflicted about something. Emily said "I never saw it coming. I don't know what I'm going to tell grandma". I waited and listened... and watched as Emily unclasped her bra and dropped it. Her breasts were full, firm and round and her nipples were stiff and perky. I swallowed and looked away but Emily asked "What's wrong?" I said "It feels wrong to watch you undress. You're so beautiful and... it just seems wrong". Emily tilted her head and asked "You think I'm beautiful?" I nodded and Emily asked "Why didn't you ever say anything?" I shrugged and said "I don't know". Emily struggled her soaked panties down and then she was naked and just turned and started the shower. She let it run for a moment and I realized I was getting hard... and fast. Emily said "I have worked at that bank since I turned 18 and graduated high school. Seven years I gave them and then just like that... they fired me".

Seven years? That made her 25. No way. Besides, how could she have worked at that bank for seven years and me never realize it? I have been banking at that branch for almost ten years, both for my personal and the store. Why didn't they cash her checks? Why did she come to my store... almost... every day? I couldn't believe it. How did I not notice? I asked "Emily, how long have you liked me?" She stood still and I could see her body exhale, then she turned slowly and asked "How do you know?" I said "You came to me to cash your checks even though you work for a bank. I'm an idiot". Emily shook her head and said "Don't say that. You just work hard and are focused and I just figured you didn't like me like that". I was confused and embarrassed... and rock hard. I blushed, grabbed Emily's wet clothes off the floor, left the bathroom and shut the door behind myself. I went to the washer and put them in with a few of my things and stared at the wall. Jesus what an idiot I was.

I slammed the lid of the washer and went back to the bathroom and asked "Emily, what happened at the bank?" Emily slid the curtain back and asked "Are you mad at me?" I shook my head and said "No. I'm mad at myself. We can talk about you and me in a minute, what happened at the bank?" Emily didn't seem to care that she was naked, and part of me didn't either. I tried not to stare but she was really kind of hot and petite and sexy and... I tore my eyes away from her body when Emily asked "What do you mean you and me? I don't mean to be rude Jay, but there is no you and me because you're not interested". I said "That's not fair. You were a customer and I had no idea you would be okay with me flirting or asking you out". Emily stared at me for a long time then finally said "You never asked". We stood there in silence, me staring at her near perfect body, and her washing her hair with my shampoo. I waited another minute or so then asked "So? What happened? Why were you standing in the rain?"

Emily rinsed her hair and said "They fired me this morning. No warning, no discussion, they just let me go". I blinked rapidly and asked "Why?" Emily said "You wouldn't believe me because I don't believe it. I know why and it's stupid and it doesn't make sense. Why else do you think I would stand there rain or not and stare at the building?" I said "Try me". Emily rinsed off and shut off the water then asked "Towel?" I stared at her body for a second and she blushed and said "You've already seen everything and you have my clothes. Let me dry off and brush my hair and then you can stare at me some more if you want". Was she serious? I handed Emily a towel and said "Let me go start the wash". Emily asked "Pizza?" I stopped with my hand on the doorknob and asked "Pizza? You want me to order pizza?" Emily flirted using her eyes and said "Please? I'd offer to pay but my wallet is back at the bank with my coat and pretty much everything else". Emily sighed and let the towel drop to the floor as she seemed about to cry.

It was automatic as I moved to hold her and she clung to me tightly, naked and wet, she clung to me. I said "I'm sorry all of this happened to you, I really am". Emily held me as if having no intention to let me go and she said "I wouldn't date the branch manager's nephew". I sighed. It actually sounded believable. I asked "What was the reason they gave because that's not a valid reason and we both know it?" Emily stepped back and was blushing so I blushed and asked "You... you want me to leave?" Emily blushed some more and said "I need to pee". I swallowed and opened the bathroom door but Emily said "Jay...". I looked at her and she said shyly "If I didn't want you to see my body, you wouldn't have. I just need to pee... okay?" I nodded and said "I'm going to order pizza and start the wash". Emily smiled and said "Okay". I did both and was sitting at the table thinking when Emily came out wrapped in the towel and asked "What can I wear?" I grinned and Emily smiled and rolled her eyes as she said "Whatever. Eventually you have to let me get dressed. Any ideas?" I grinned and said "Next week?"

Emily stared at me with a blank expression similar to that outside the bank... and in my car. I waited and she said "I think we should start with a conversation, maybe dinner. An hour ago you weren't even interested in me". An idea came to me and I said "Come to work for me. I need a full time cashier and you don't have to date any of my relatives". Emily asked "Let's start with clothes. If you don't get me something to wear, I'll just go through your things until I find something I like". I smiled and Emily said "Fine, where's your bedroom or closet?" I showed her and Emily stared at Thunder laying on my bed. Thunder stretched, yawned, then lost interest in Emily and lay back down to nap. Emily said "Now that's funny". I frowned and Emily laughed "Sorry, but your cat is just like you, not interested". I exhaled and Emily said "It's a joke, relax". I said "I am interested. I just never realized there was a chance so I never took it. God, everything is coming out wrong, why do I talk?" Emily tilted her head again and asked "Wait, you like me?" I nodded and said "Yes" but Emily asked "You like me or you like my body?" I exhaled again and said "That's not fair". Emily said "No, it is. In my mind you never gave me a second look until I undressed and now all of a sudden your interested. I know that sounds harsh, but it is what it is".

I sat on the bed and said "I can't win". Emily said "It's not about winning. Do you like me or do you like my body?" I said "Both" but Emily said "No, that's not right" and she started going through drawers until she found shorts and a t-shirt. She dropped the towel and said "Take a look because what you say and how you act once I get dressed will determine whether you see this again". I blinked and then fumbled for my phone but Emily blushed and gasped "Hell no" as she scrambled to put on my shirt. I grinned and watched as she hurriedly put on my shorts and said "Better than nothing. Now we'll see if you pay attention to me or my body". Emily picked up the towel and left the room with me still sitting on my bed and Thunder snoozing and not caring what either of us did. I found Emily sitting at the table looking at the applications and I asked "Do you want the job?" Emily said "Maybe, it depends". I was confused and asked "Maybe? Depends on what?" Emily said "I think you know".

I asked Emily "What was the reason? They had to give you a reason for separation, termination, layoff, whatever? What reason did they give?" Emily said "I don't want to talk about this. She told me it wasn't working out, there had been some complaints and that they were letting me go. I never saw it coming. Please, can we talk about something... anything else?" I felt bad and moved closer to hug Emily but she shifted in her chair, tilted her head and closed her eyes. I asked "What are you doing?" Emily blushed and said "I thought you were going to kiss me". I blushed and said "No, I wanted to hug you. Why would I kiss you?" Emily stared at me visibly hurt and I groaned "That's not what I meant. I would love to kiss you". Emily frowned, crossed her arms, and said "Well you can forget it now. What is wrong with you today?" I sighed "I keep saying all the wrong things and I don't know why". Emily asked "Did you order pizza?" I nodded and she said "Let's slow down and have lunch. I have to figure out what to do because my grandmother is going to be upset that I lost my job. I help her with bills and stuff".

I said "Emily, I'm sorry about your job. It's wrong and it shouldn't have happened. I'm sorry I keep saying the wrong thing. I like you and I'm thinking I have for a while and didn't realize it. Will you give me a chance?" Emily stared at me and then the washer buzzed. She got up, put the clothes in the dryer, added a Gain sheet, then started it. I watched her as she moved around the kitchen and realized what she was doing by the third cabinet. I said "I don't do paper plates. We'll have to use real plates". Emily smiled at me and it was a nice smile, then she found the plates and got two out. She brought them to the table and asked "Is this how you imagined it?" I sighed "I never really thought about it to be honest". Emily shook her head, frowned, then exhaled and tore two paper towels off the roll. I said "I did it again, I'm sorry". Emily said "The mixed signals are confusing me and to be frank, it's pissing me off. Do you think I let you see me naked on accident?"

I took my wallet out, slammed it on the table, said "I'm sorry. Here's the money to pay when the pizza gets here. I'm sorry I can't say anything right. I have no idea why I overlooked you all this time but I realize I like you and I'm blowing it now that I have this chance. I need a minute to go think... I'll be back". Emily stared at me even as I turned and walked down the hall to my small office and sat behind the desk moody. How could I have ignored and overlooked such a beautiful young woman all this time? The house phone rang and it was mom. Why she didn't call my cell I have no idea, but I answered and she said "Sweetheart, is she still there?" I said "Hi mom. Yeah, she took a shower and is dry and warm and pizza is on the way". Mom laughed and said "Pizza? I raised you better than that". I said "Don't start, I'm in a mood".

Mom laughed then said "Oh, is that right? Well too bad. I spoke to Eileen and she has no idea what's going on. What did you find out?" I asked "Who is Eileen?" Mom said "Emily's grandmother. Her parents are divorced and live in South Carolina. Emily has lived with her grandmother for the last 10 years and hardly hears from her parents. According to Eileen, Emily was a straight A student, never got into any trouble, went to college and worked at the bank almost eight years. She barely dates and keeps to herself. Eileen has no idea Emily got fired, so I didn't tell her. I lied and said we were considering hiring her, what else could I say". I said "I am going to hire her, and instead of cashier, I want to make her assistant. I could use the help and she could use the job. That's not my problem though". Mom sighed and asked "What is?" I said "There's a connection or something and we like each other, but I keep saying the dumbest or rudest thing possible". Mom laughed and said "So it's a normal day?" I said "Mom? Really?" Mom laughed and said "This came out of nowhere. You never mentioned her before today. If you like her you like her. Does that confuse the issue with you hiring her?" I said "I don't see why. I could go out with her and we could work together. It happens everyday at all kinds of businesses".

Mom sighed and said "I trust you. Your my son and you run this place like it's your own. Your father and Uncle plan on giving it to you in January anyways, so do what you think is right?" Giving it to me? I asked "What?" Mom said "I wasn't supposed to say anything so act surprised. They want to buy a tow truck company. I mean what does your father know about towing cars? And your Uncle? My brother knows about one thing, counting money and chasing women". I laughed "That's two things mom". Mom said "Don't correct me smartie. Take the day off and figure out what you're going to do about Emily. If you hire her I need paperwork completed just like anyone else. Offer her $13 if you're serious about assistant manager, but make sure she understands the commitment and hours required. I'm going over to the bank and get Emily's things and if Maureen knows what's good for her, she'll shut her mouth and give them to me without an issue". I said "Remind me never to upset you" and mom said "You should already have that information. I love you, call me later".

I went back out and Emily said "I was about to call you. Is everything okay?" I said "Mostly. Can we talk?" Emily tilted her head, apparently that was her thing. She said "Of course. The pizza is here. I gave the driver a hundred dollar tip. You had too much money in your wallet so I was trying to help you out". I gasped and Emily held a straight face and said "Let's sit down, eat and talk. Maybe if you eat something you won't be so rude to me. It's like that Snickers commercial, maybe you're hungry". I asked "You gave away a hundred dollars?" Emily shook her head and asked "What do you think?" We sat, ate pizza, and somehow talked without out me saying anything dumb. Maybe I was hungry? I told Emily about hiring her and offered her $13 and the AM position. She said "I will answer you when we resolve our other issue. First, we have to figure out what to do about going back to the bank to get my stuff and what to tell my grandmother. She's going to be really upset. The bank was my first job. Other than babysitting years ago, the only job I've ever had was at that bank".

I said "There's nothing to discuss. My mother is going down to the bank to get your stuff. She knows the branch manager and plans to rip her a new one. I'm hiring you so there's no gap really because you can start tomorrow and I'll personally train you. As for the other issue, I've said some dumb things and I'm nervous right now, but I'd like to ask you out". Emily stared at me waiting for something and it confused me so I asked her "Well?" Emily blinked and asked "Well what?" I said "I just asked you out" but Emily said "No you didn't. You said you were going to but you haven't done it yet". Huh? Emily smiled as she ate pizza and drank Pepsi and I asked "I thought you liked Cherry Coke?" Emily stared at the Pepsi bottle and said "I do. I also like Pepsi and Cherry Pepsi. Don't change the subject though". I sighed and asked "Emily, would you go out with me?" She stared at me for a long time and then smiled and said "Eat. We have all day. We have to figure out how and what I'm going to tell grandma". I was confused and said "Hold on, don't I get an answer?" Emily smiled and said "You do, but it's not that simple. There are alot of variables to consider and that's what I'm doing".

What?

Emily continued eating and asked "Are we hanging out all day or are you kicking me out once my clothes are dry?" Wow, I didn't recall her being so outspoken, so it was startling. I said "You can stay all day and even the night if you want". Emily blushed and said "Just like that? You want me to spend the night?" I blushed and said "Emily, I'm trying. You make me nervous but I am trying not to say dumb stuff". Emily asked "Why are you nervous?" I gasped and tried three times to tell her but stopped the wrong words coming out all three times. Probably a good thing. Emily said "I'm not trying to play mind games. I will go out with you, so yes, but things could be confusing at first because of what happened in the bathroom. I'm not easy and definitely not slutty. I kind of wish I had a do over now that I know you like me". It felt like she had slapped me and I looked away stung as Emily said "Damn, now I'm doing it. I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. I don't sleep around and I don't want to confuse you, that's what I was trying to say". I stared at Emily and said "I'm not confused. I was lucky enough to see your amazing, perfect body. When and if I get to see it again, I will be just as happy as I was in the bathroom".

Emily stared at me with a big smile and asked "Now talk to me about the job. Were you serious?" I said "Very. I need someone immediately, you need something right away, it's like it was planned". Emily sighed but found a smile and said "Things happen for a reason and all that. I could still be standing in the rain. I couldn't move. I couldn't even think". I suddenly got irritated and asked "Did they know you were out there?" Emily said "How could they not? They didn't care. They didn't care or someone would have come outside or taken me home". I said "I did". Emily stood and said "I need to go to the bank and get my car, then go home and get some things. Do you really want me to spend the night?" My heart raced and I practically whispered "Yes". Emily said "No promises Jay. I'll sleep with you because I trust you and I don't want to be alone, but if I say no I need you to respect it". My mind was racing, my blood was pumping, and Emily came around the table and asked "What is wrong with you?" I said "I can't explain it. I'm having all these feelings towards you and I don't understand why I never realized I liked you".

Emily touched my face and said "Slow down. We're just starting and we have all the time we need. We have all day to get to know each other and if you play your cards right you'll get to kiss me". I held Emily's neck gently and she closed her eyes so I kissed her lips softly. It was brief but warm and electric and then she held me and parted her lips in acceptance of our first real kiss. We kissed slow and soft, sensual and passionately. Emily eased back and asked "Okay?" I nodded and she held my hand then said "There's no rush. Why don't we do the paperwork and take our mind off other things?" I nodded and Emily said "I lost my job and thought it was the end of the world. Now I have a new job, a friend and a boyfriend. We have to see the positives in life". She was right and I said "I don't know why I didn't pay attention to you but I will from now on". Emily stared at me, tilted her head, and said "You just like to put things out there, don't you?" I said "At least you will always know how I feel". Emily smiled and it turned into a grin as she asked "Do you want to sleep with me?"

I stared at her for a moment then said "Absolutely".

Emily went to the table and started cleaning up and she said "Go get the paperwork and we'll do it, get it out of the way. Do you have an Xbox One or a PS4?" That came out of nowhere. Emily was clearing the table and said "SKYRIM comes out next week, what console do you have?" I said "Xbox" and Emily said "I like videogames, I hope that's not an issue". I said "I play them when I have time. Right now I'm playing MAFIA 3 but I haven't gotten very far with work and all". Emily said "Paperwork, remember? Go get it. Here's a question? Do you date much? I mean did you?" I said "Some, but with the hours I work, it usually didn't work out". Emily said " I get that. My issue was living with my grandmother. Guys would make me feel weird about it". Thunder came into the room, rubbed against my legs, then stood staring at Emily. Emily crouched and Thunder walked over and sniffed her, then rubbed against her and started purring. I smiled and said "It's unanimous, we both want you to stay". Emily's expression went blank as she crouched petting Thunder and said "It wasn't that long ago that both of you weren't interested. I'm thinking it was seeing me naked that changed your mind".

I asked "Why do you do that?" Emily said "It's how I feel. I said yes, we're going out, Hell... I don't really know you and I said I would spend the night. But you can't expect me to believe that for almost three years you never once paid attention to me and then you see me naked and suddenly can't get enough. I'm a person, not a pornstar or internet model. There's more to me than my body". The front door opened and mom came in with a bag of stuff, a bag from Target, and a wet coat. I said "Hi" and mom said "Trouble in paradise already?" Mom bent to pet Thunder then took off her coat and smiled at Emily. Emily shocked me when she said to mom "Not really, I was just trying to clarify his feelings and understand some things. Hi, I'm Emily". Mom said "Rachel, I know who you are, I play bingo with your grandmother and I also know your incompetent boss. Trust me, I tore her a whole new one just a bit ago". Emily glanced in the bag that I assumed were her things from the bank and she set a placard on my counter that said "Emily Wilson - Head Teller". Emily said "You can have it. Thanks Rachel, I appreciate the kindness". Mom said "Be patient with my son while he gets his head out of his ass and we can call it even. He knows how to say the dumbest thing possible at the worst possible moment, but he's kind hearted and loves completely... for what it's worth".

Emily looked in the Target bag and mom said "I tried to guess your size and what you would wear. I hope it's close". Emily blushed and said "Thank you" then left the room and went into my bedroom. Mom said "You need to treat this one carefully, she's dynamite and fragile glass all rolled up into a cute little package. She's a keeper you idiot, so you better keep her". I said "I asked her out and hired her, we were about to do the paperwork when we had a misunderstanding". Mom asked "What was it exactly?" I sighed and said "She thinks... mom, I can't tell you, it's private and embarrassing". Mom crossed her arms and said "Spill". I exhaled and said quietly "Emily thinks my sudden interest is based on her body and not her in general". Mom flared and said "It better not be. I raised you to treat women right young man. Get your act together and fix this before you break it. I have to go, your sister wants Taco Bell. I need the paperwork by tomorrow morning so I can process it. We'll pay her in cash until she's in the computer". I said "It's not like I'm the manager or anything". Mom narrowed her eyes and said "It's not like I brought you into this world".

Mom wins again. Mom always wins.

Emily came back out and I gasped and stared at her. She had on a cute blue and white knee length skirt, light pink no show socks, a pretty blue and white short sleeve blouse that fit her perfectly, and her hair was brushed and looked soft and beautiful. I gasped "Wow" and Emily blushed and smiled then asked "You think I look nice?" I nodded and said "Beautiful. You're beautiful" and mom said "So I did good? Alright, you two play nice, I have to go buy his sister lunch. Emily, have you met Jenna?" Emily said "I know her from school, and we had a class together back in college. We don't hang out, but I know her, she's nice". Mom said "Yeah, it's too bad Jason didn't get the looks or the charm. It is what it is though". Really? Mom was all smiles and said "Give me a hug and I'll hit the bricks". I hugged and kissed mom and she whispered "Dynamite wrapped in glass, be careful". Mom waved at Emily then left and Thunder curled up on the couch bored as Emily asked "You really think I look nice?" I nodded and said "Yes" just as the dryer buzzed. Emily went over and started folding clothes while I gathered the applications and said "Come into my office when you're ready, we can do the paperwork. Emily, what do you want for dinner?"

Emily smiled at me and asked "Could we make something together? It's something I've always wanted to do". I stared at her and she blushed and said "Never mind, it was silly. Whatever you want is fine". I walked over and held Emily. She turned to face me and held me tightly as she said "This is new to me. It's like we've known each other forever but just met, It's strange and scary and exciting, all at once". I said "Be patient with me and I will treat you great, I promise. There has to be a reason I was at the bank when you needed me. We were supposed to meet. You know what I mean". Emily said "For three years I waited. Every day thinking ‘today he'll notice me' but you never did. What was I doing wrong?" I eased back to look at Emily and said "Nothing. Sometimes I thought you were beautiful and nice, but I told myself you were a customer and you weren't interested. I made the mistake, not you. I'm sorry Emily, I really am". Emily tilted her head, it was definitely her thing, and she asked "Sometimes?" I said "Yeah. You'll see once you start. There are days that the entire day is a blur. There's never enough time to get everything done, and customers come at the worst moments. There have been days I went in at 7 or 8 and before I knew it was 5 or 6 in the evening. It wasn't personal or even lack of interest, there are just days we could use two or three extra people. Besides hiring you, I might still hire a cashier, at least part time". Emily changed subjects and asked "With us dating, what will I work? Will we spend time together besides going to bed?" I blinked and asked "Going to bed?"

Emily said "Don't make it something it's not Jay. Eventually we're going to have sex, there's no point in pretending. Regardless, as long as we get along and you treat me right, I'd rather sleep with you than sleep alone. Is that okay?" I nodded and said "I don't know what to say". Emily finished folding the clothes, hers and mine, then said "Don't say anything at all. The point isn't about sharing a bed, the point is would we get to spend time together?" I said "Yes. Most of the time you would work when I did, and when you didn't, we would work it out like all couples do. It's going to be fine". Emily laughed and said "Couple". I frowned and she said "Sorry, but a few hours ago you didn't know I existed and now you're saying things like, us, future and couple. It's cute". I said "You frustrate me like it's your job". Emily smiled and said "It is. Yours is to treat me well and try to kiss me, mine is to give you Hell and play hard to get. You'll see". I grinned and said "That outfit looks cute on you, but it would look better on my bedroom floor".

Emily huffed and said "Who are you, Andrew Dice Clay? Why would you think that was funny?" I looked at the floor and muttered "Sorry". Emily said "I'm not a slut and you don't get to treat me like one. If you want me to take off my clothes you ask nicely, and for that to happen, you have to treat me nice. Spend time with me, get to know me, make me feel special and loved. Saying crude shit won't work unless your plan is for me to put more clothes on". I said "I really am sorry Emily, I don't know why I said it". Emily moved closer and said "Yes you do. I have the same feelings. I'm not asking alot Jay. I let you bring me home, undress me and take care of me. You showed me kindness and respect and I am thrilled. In less than three hours you have a girlfriend, a new employee and someone to share your bed, listen to you and hold you. Stop trying to be clever and funny and just relax. If you could relax, we would get there. I said I have the same feelings, so chill and let things happen". I exhaled and said "Okay. I'm sorry and okay". Emily kissed me softly then said "Excuse me? What was that? Kiss me like it means something mister grumpy". We kissed slow and passionately and Emily had to feel me getting hard, there was no way she couldn't. She stepped back and said "That's twice huh?" I blushed and said "Sorry", but she smiled and said "No, it's fine. At least I know your feelings are real".

Emily held my hand and led me to my small office. She looked around and said "This is nice". I sat behind the desk and she smiled then came and sat on my lap. It was unexpected but nice and I held her as she moved papers on my desk and said "I like attention and I like to be touched and held. I just think you should know that. So where's the application and the paperwork?" I said "It's been awhile since I've been in a relationship, I think you should know that. I'm happy but nervous". Emily leaned back against me and she was warm and her hair smelled good. I kissed her head and she said "This is what I've always wanted, just to be loved. Not used, but wanted and loved". I sighed and Emily asked "The paperwork?" I said "Sorry" and tried to lean forward but Emily said "Wait. I think you misunderstand me. I'm not blowing you off. I think we should get the paperwork out of the way before one thing leads to another and you try to take my clothes off". I gasped and Emily sat up, turned on my lap, and asked "Lie to me. Tell me you're not thinking that. Look me in the eye and tell me you just want to be friends".

I lifted Emily off me and she stared at me confused and possibly hurt. I guided her gently until she leaned back against the desk facing me, but then she got the idea and sat up on it. She blushed, but parted her legs and said "If you wanted to see under my skirt all you had to do was ask". I blushed and said "I would like to see that, but I wanted to tell you something. Something important". Emily was surprisingly seductive as she slowly hiked her skirt until I saw light pink panties pulled tight against her most prized treasure. My pulse was pounding, I was hard again... or maybe still... and I couldn't think about anything but pulling those panties down and taking Emily. I was breathing deeply and she said "This is new to me, I'm not usually this open and sexual. We definitely like each other, but I'm afraid". I blinked and shelved all the desire, shut it behind a door and asked "Why? Of what?" Emily left her skirt hiked but looked into my eyes and said "If I give you everything, then I have nothing to give you. What then?"

I said "It doesn't have to be like that, not with me". Emily said "But how do I know that? I trust you, mostly, I don't think you would hurt me and there's no way you would use me. My concern is if I do what I want to do, then that door is open and what if it's all we do? I don't want to just work and have sex, I want a friendship, a relationship, I want to learn and grow, not just fuck". The word shocked me and I flinched... I think. Emily shifted her legs then adjusted her skirt to cover herself and said "It's going to happen, probably today, there's no way to avoid the heat building between us. I just don't want it to be who we are and what we do. That's not who I am. I'm not high maintenance, I'm actually fairly simple. Just spend time with me, talk to me, make me happy. Do that and I'll give you anything you want". I said "But that's what I want. I've wanted someone like you my whole life. I don't have to worry about what I say or how I act, you get me. I don't know why I ignored you all this time, but I never will again, you have my word".

Emily climbed to straddle my lap and kissed me. It was warm and slow and we held each other and it was quite possibly the best kiss I have ever been a part of. She asked "Do you want to do this?" I asked "Hire you? Absolutely. The idea of you working with me everyday and being with me at night excites me". Emily smiled softly and I sighed "Oh, you weren't talking about that... were you?" She said quietly "No". I stared into her eyes and said "I'll take whatever you give me, but you need to make this decision. Either way, I want you and I'm glad today happened... the good parts". Emily stared at me for a long moment, touched my face gently, then got off my lap and said "Focus. Let's do the paperwork for the job and see what happens after that". I got out of the chair and let Emily sit down, gathered the papers I had that she would need, then printed the rest. We filled them out together and among other things, I found out she was 25 and told her she did not look it. Emily asked "Is there a way to turn off the constant compliments?" I shook my head and said "I don't think so, no". Emily smiled and said "Good. How would you feel about homemade spaghetti with a nice salad and garlic bread for dinner?"

I smiled at Emily and said "I would really like that". Emily got a blank expression like the one earlier and the one at the bank. She said "I have to face the music. I have to go talk to grandma and tell her about the bank. In the same conversation I have to explain dating you, the new job, spending the night and listen to a lecture about morals". I wasn't sure what to say so I sat quietly and Emily sighed then said "We need to go do that before dinner or kissing or sex or spending the night". I gasped and said "It sounded like you just said sex". Emily stared at me and asked "Are we still playing games? I thought we discussed this before we did the paperwork. Are you feeling okay?" I said "I am, I'm just not used to anyone so open and honest about their thoughts and feelings". Emily said "I won't ever lie to you but you had better never lie to me either. What's the point of playing mind games. You don't think I'm loose or slutty, I want to have sex, I don't understand the confusion". I exhaled and said "There is none. Give me a chance to get used to your way and I will, I promise".

Emily stood and held me then said "One more thing. You say you think I'm so hot, your eyes and body give away your attraction, and yet... we've barely kissed and it's like you're afraid to touch me. What's wrong? Is it something I said or did?" I said "As ridiculous as it may sound, I'm a gentleman and was raised to respect women". Emily blinked and said "Okay, so I hit the jackpot. That's awesome. Regardless, if you want to get some, you need to act like you want it. I don't really know how else to make it clear". I pulled Emily close and kissed her slow and warm, our tongues danced and our bodies pressed together. We parted for air and she said "That was intense. I'm not made of glass, you can touch me you know". I snickered and Emily asked "What's so funny?" I grinned and told her what mom said about her being dynamite wrapped in glass. Emily blinked a couple of times and said "Wow, that's surprisingly accurate. I like your mom".

Emily and I stood close and stared into each other's eyes. She asked "Do you think I'm beautiful?" I nodded and said "Very" and Emily asked "Am I hot? Do you like my body?" I nodded several times and then Emily asked "Am I funny? Do you like to talk to me?" I said "Yes to both". Emily said "Treat me right, spend time with me, include me and you can have it all. This needs to be the last time we talk about this, I'm getting bored and when I get bored I get bitchy. I'd rather not be bitchy if that's okay". I said "Let's go drop these papers off to my mom and say hi to Jenna, take you to your car, and then we can go talk to your grandmother". Emily kissed me softly then said "You need to know something. I've liked you for a long time and never said anything. You treat me nice and I like you. If things go well at the store and at my grandma's, when we come back here... no more games. I know we technically just started dating and so on and so forth. I don't care. We both want this, so when we get back here... it's happening". I swallowed and said "Wow" and Emily said "Yeah... wow. Treat me nicely the next hour or so and you get laid, I can't be any clearer that that".

............... definitely to be continued...
