I'd been frantically circling the six-block area, cutting-in a block each time. I'd nearly killed two pedestrians, a couple, the guy flipping me off and yelling me to 'Watch where you're going, dickhead!' I flipped him off right
back, and continued looking. I was nervous as hell, and was just about ready to pack it in. But I HAD to find her place. .
She was the dispatcher at my company, and she was drop-dead-gorgeous. She always wore clothes that would likely get any other girl sacked from a job. All the girls hated her, and all the guys, including the company president, was so stunned by her looks that we could hardly even form a sentence whenever she passed by. It was a warm, perfect, Saturday morning.
When I'd finally spotted the place, I'd felt like an idiot, realising that I'd actually passed it twice. I pulled into the drive, and parked. I took a deep breath. I still couldn't believe that she actually told me to come by for a day's visit. If I bagged this one, I'd be a fucking legend at work. Hell; I'd be a legend to every guy I knew, including myself
I cut the engine, swung the door open, and walked up the four front steps. Another deep breath. I rang the bell. I suddenly wanted to turn and run for the car. I figured that somehow I'd have to pay for time with a knockout like Rachel. A vision of me suffering a massive coronary just as I was climbing into the sack with her almost made me laugh aloud, but instead, the door clicked and opened. My jaw went slack, and I blinked several times.
"You're late..." she informed me, her voice like angel-song, despite the irritated edge it carried behind it.
"Only a minute or two, I couldn't find your house. Sorry." I explained, trying to play it cool, but very concerned that we were getting off on the wrong foot. "Can't follow directions, then?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. "Point against." she quipped, giving me a quick once-over. "Oh, well; perhaps you're worth a second chance, but you'll have the opportunity to prove it, I suppose. Come on in, then, and grab a seat on the sofa." She offered smoothly, adding "Ill be right back."
I stepped past her, and she closed the door, locking it. She clipped past me as if I were a ghost, and disappeared into the kitchen. After that little 'can't follow directions' remark, I'd have told any other girl to enlist in 'Cunts Anonymous'. But not this one. No way. Anything she might've said was fine by me.
