There will be a gap where I don't post much this week. I have so much school work its stressing me out. So enjoy this one! I'll update soon!
"Phyllis, are you okay?" Pam asked as Phyllis came into the office like she just saw a ghost.
"I... I think I just got flashed," She mumbled.
"Oh my god," Pam and I said rushing to Phyllis' side. Dwight pushed me out of the way as he ran for the door.
"Are you okay? Here, sit down," I said escorting her to Karen's desk.
"Yeah, I think I'm fine. Just a little traumatized," She whispered tearing up.
"I'll call Bob Vance," Pam said as she got behind her desk and dialed Vance refrigeration.
"I'll call the police," Jim stated.
"I need you to just take deep breaths and relax," I said going into psychologist mode. "What exactly happened?"
"Well, this guy was in the parking lot and asked for directions. He had a map. So, when I went up to his, behind the map was his...," She trailed off.
"The police are aware of the event. They had multiple calls about this already," Jim announced hanging up his phone.
"Honey, are you okay?" Bob Vance came rushing into the office and too Phyllis' side.
"I'm okay," She nodded.
"Let's go for a little walk," He said helping Phyllis up.
As she left, Michael came into the office.
"What's all the hubbub?" He asked.
"Phyllis got flashed in the parking lot," Pam told him.
"Phyllis?" He started laughing.
We stared at him while he laughed. What was so funny about getting flashed? I started getting pissed. A traumatic event like that could ruin her life. How dare he laugh at that.
"Someone getting flashed is funny to you Michael?" Stanley asked.
"No... it's just Phyllis," He laughed.
"This isn't funny Michael. This is a traumatic event that Phyllis has witnessed," I fumed.
"Okay, wait," He said still laughing. He turned around for a minute and when he turned back, he had his finger out of his zipper pocket.
"Michael!" I yelled as everyone moaned.
"Hey, what's going on?" Toby said coming into the office. "I saw a police car in the..."
Michael had turned around towards Toby with his finger still sticking out of his pants. Toy sighed and looked at him.
"Phyllis got flashed in the parking lot and Michael thinks its funny," I glared at Michael.
"Michael, that's not funny," Toby muttered.
"Hey you know what? How do we know you're not the flasher? Where were you this morning?" Michael accused.
"I was at a parent-teacher conference," Toby addressed pushing past Michael.
"Yeah okay, prove it let's see your penis!" Michael exclaimed.
Toby turned around to join us in staring at Michael.
"I... uhm," Michael chuckled. "I knew as that was coming out of my mouth that it was wrong."
Michael went into his office and we all went back to work. Christ Michael. I sat down in my chair and rubbed my temples. I can't even concentrate now. That whole scenario was just awful. As a boss, Michael should be making sure that everyone is safe and happy. I looked down at the papers I was sorting. I put the expense reports into the box for Angela.
"You're so tense," Toby whispered putting his hands on my shoulders.
"Michael just makes me so stressed. Like, I've never seen a more incompetent person in my life," I grumbled putting some papers on the scanner.
"Micheal is..., not self-aware," Toby sighed heading back to his desk.
"Tell me about it," I muttered dating Kevin's paperwork. Kevin hasn't been dating anything and when I talked to Angela about it, she gave me a list of dates that Kevin did paper work. So I'm just going off of that for now.
Something was thrown on my desk. I looked up and saw a serious Dwight leave the room. I looked at the paper that he threw and was shocked. No heels taller than a quarter inch, only muted tone clothing, and no speaking to strangers unless authorized. I grabbed the paper and went to Dwight's desk where a very angry Karen and Pam were already talking to him about it.
"I celebrate these women," Michael began. "These women should dress how they want to. If Pam wants to wear a shirt that shows more cleavage, be my guest. If Amber wants to wear a skirt that is so short that it shows her ass so be it. I honestly encourage both those things."
"Listen, we just want you guys to show us some respect," Karen said looking away from Michael.
"Yes exactly. This is what it's all about," Michael agreed not knowing that what he just said wasn't respectful. "You know what? Everyone in the conference room in 5 minutes. Women's appreciation."
"Wait, how are you qualified for that?" Jim asked.
"Oh I don't know James. Did I come from a woman? Do I sleep with a woman?" Michael badgered.
"Why doesn't Oscar run the meeting? He is a homosexual," Dwight announced.
"Why don't you run the meeting? You play with dolls," Jim badgered back.
"Okay, I will be running this meeting! Everyone in!" Michael yelled and we all piled into the conference room.
"This is shameful," I whispered to Toby as I sat down next to him.
"I'm sorry to all the men who thought this was a laughing matter," Michael began sitting down at the head of the room. "No one likes to be flashed. A penis, when seen in the right context, is the most wonderful thing to see, for a woman. In the wrong context, it's like a monster movie."
"Alien," Dwight said and started making weird noises at the camera.
"No, Dwight no!" Michael exclaimed. "Okay, so what I want to do today is a hardcore discussion about women's problems."
"Michael do we really need to hear this?" I asked.
"Obviously we do Amber because you're problem is that you are dating Toby," Michael answered.
I looked at the camera with a disgruntled face and just shut up. I wasn't going to argue with him.
"Okay, magazines, TV shows, all of that shows women as skinny, tall goddesses. Well, look around. Are women like that? Michael questioned. "No. No they are not. What does that say? It says that you women are up against it and that is cruel. Society doesn't care. I don't even consider myself apart of society because I am just so fed up with this."
"If it were up to me," Andy began. "You ladies would be the fashion models."
"Yes Andy then, the fashion models could come here and work with me," Kevin said.
"What you are saying is extremely misogynistic," Karen stated.
"Yes Karen," Michael said proudly. "That was not necessary but it proves my point that women can do anything."
"I'm saying, you are being sexist."
"No Karen. I'm being misogynistic, not sexist," Michael replied.
"They're the same thing Michael," I said.
"When we get mad you always ask us if we are on our periods," Angela stated.
"I have to know if you are serious or not," Michael muttered.
"I wish I could menstruate," Dwight announced.
"Can we just get back to work?" Karen asked angrily.
"This is not work talk," Angela said getting up.
"Okay yes, you are right. It's because of where we are," Michael said. "We are going to go to the steam town mall."
"No," I sighed shaking my head. "No. Do I have to go?"
"Yes you do," He said. "Get your things."
I sighed and went to get my stuff. I grabbed my purse and jacket, and turned off my computer.
"Have fun," Toby said giving me a kiss.
"This is going to be hell," I murmured closing the door to the annex.
"Okay here we go," Michael said putting two trays of food down on the table.
I didn't bother. I already had my lunch. I looked around seeing what stores there were. Express was a good idea. I like a lot of what they have. Hmm, what else? FYE is good. I can get some new music. Oh, Kay Jewelers. Maybe a new necklace. Oh Payless! I love shoes and I could always use more! Ah but, should I leave the group? Let's pay a little attention to what Michael is saying.
"Is role-playing alright?" He asked.
"It can be fun yeah," Phyllis nodded.
"It's just that, I don't want feel comfortable wearing the dress," He sighed.
"Good-bye," I told them and headed to Payless.
Did I want flats or high heels? Oh maybe some new pumps! Oh maybe boots! They have the Natalee slouch boots in my size. I grabbed them. They were on sale too! Holly Shimmer pumps in champagne! I grabbed those too. Okay Amber, just one more pair and that's it! If you can't find a pair then don't just grab at random. You don't wear shoes that you just pull at random.
I didn't find any other shoes that I liked so I paid for the ones that I had and went back to the group. Michael was getting frozen yogurt and they were just standing around waiting for him. I ran over and joined them.
"Oh what did you get?" Kelly exclaimed running over to me.
I showed her the shoes I got. She was very excited for me to wear them. I was very excited for Toby too see the pumps.
As we walked around Michael just went on and on about random shit. I didn't pay attention until we stopped in front of Victoria's Secret.
"You know what? You can go in here and get 1 item. It's on me," Michael stated.
Kelly and I ran into the store. I usually didn't shop at Victoria's Secret because it was so expensive for 1 bra. But if I am getting something for free then hell yes I'm going to spend the 1 item wisely. That would be to spend it on something that Toby would enjoy. I looked around at the bras. Even though my breasts were already a D cup, I definitely wanted a pushup. Just to make things a little more spicy but I couldn't find anything that I personally liked. So I went to see what babydoll they had. I didn't find anything there that I liked either so I went back over to the bra section. Finally I found a new bombshell pushup bra that I like. It was angel pink with embellished black lace.
"Kelly," I said walking over to her with the bra.
"Oh my god Toby is going to adore that!" She screeched.
"You think?" I asked.
Kelly nodded and bounded somewhere else. I saw Angela and Michael sitting in the front of the store so, might as well join them. They were being extremely quiet. I sat down and waited for everyone to be done. Maybe I'll use this tonight. I'll have Toby over for dinner and a movie maybe, and then we will see where it takes us. Hm, maybe tomorrow night. Well, okay I don't actually know but sometime soon. Definitely.
When everyone was finished, Michael paid for our things and we were off. Back to the office we go. Maybe, I'll have time to finish dating Kevin's papers and scan them into the computer. Probably not.
"How was the mall?" Toby asked not looking away from his papers.
"It was great actually," I stated. "How was the day in the office?"
"Pretty boring," He muttered.
"Hm, something smells like lilacs," I announced as I sat at my desk.
Both Toby and Ryan, from behind the wall, looked at me.
"I don't smell it," Toby mumbled.
"Yeah, you must be smelling things Amber," Ryan addressed.
"No, no, it smells like the lotion in the ladies bathroom," I claimed.
"Ryan, I'm back!" Kelly burst through the door. She took one sniff and instantly had a confused look on her face. "Why does it smell like that lotion we have in the ladies bathroom?"
"It was Kevin's idea," Ryan accused.
"Kevin's idea to what?" Kelly and I asked.
"Nothing, nothing," Toby laughed. "Ryan is just stressed from the hard days work."
"Ryan nodded in agreement and dropped his head from over the wall. Kelly and I shrugged and went back to work. We didn't have so much time but I had enough to get all of Kevin's papers dated.
"What did you get?" Toby asked rolling his chair towards me.
"Oh I got shoes!" I exclaimed and showed him the boots and pumps.
"And?" He asked motioning to the VS bag.
I blushed. "Well, you'll just have to find out won't you?"
Toby grinned. "Dinner tomorrow around 7:30?"
I smirked, kissed his cheek and whispered. "That will do."
