Thanks for the reviews I'm glad people like this =]
At work the next day Jay comes over "Come out to the floor." I walk out on the floor. Bob and Dave are there. Also standing there is the floor manager.
"Spencer, I am short a salesman today, so I need you to do it this afternoon."
"What? I am not a salesman."
"Nobody knows the equipment like you. I have been thinking about it, and I think your destiny is on the floor"
"Thank you, but no thank you."
"I'm your boss this is what I need you to do today, so that's what you'll do. Enjoy." hewalks away.
"I have to admit, I am really scared. I am not good at talking with people, especially women. It was hard enough when they were drunk and that didn't even turn out well."
"Come on. Fear the fear and do it anyway. The floor is hopping. Look, we've got a gorgeous young blonde at nine o'clock. A red head at twelve and a brunette gothic at three. Take your pick."
I take a deep breath nod and heads out onto the floor I walk towards the blonde with a look of determination. As I get within five feet of her I start walking faster, turns a corner and walks up to an old man.
"Good afternoon. And how may I help you?"
I sell him a good TV for a good price I'm not mean I took him to collect his stuff "This man is getting a DVD player, VCR, Tivo, surround sound speakers and a flat screen television with high definition capabilities."
"Thank you, young lady. You are the best salesman I have ever met. You were such a help."
I smile appreciatively and the old man walks off. Right then a very pretty brunette approaches me, she was about my age with long curly hair, dressed in black skinny jeans a white vest top and leather jacket.
"Excuse me, can you help me?" I looked up into chocolate brown eyes.
"Help? You? Uhm. I was about to take my break." I say flummoxed.
"It won't take long." She smiled and her nose crinkled up cutely.
"Okay." I smile nervously
"Hi, I'm Ashley"
"Spencer... is my name." we walk over to where the displays of all the VCR players are.
"I was looking at this VCR is it easy to set up? Reliable?"
"You don't want this VCR."
"Really? I heard this was the best one."
"It's not, really. VCR technology is very simple. Basically, no VCR is that much better than another VCR. The expensive ones don't give you a better picture they just look cooler, and have more buttons which you would never use."
I point out a standard looking VCR. "This one has the features you need and it is a third less than the cool looking one unless you really want a cool-looking one. Then you should this one. 'Cause it does look cool. It's black, has a lot of lights."
"Looks are not a factor."
"Great. Then we have found what you need."
"Excuse me." The old man from earlier approached me" Is there anyone who can help me set up what I bought? I am not very technically minded and quite frankly, I can barely see my own hand."
"Where do you live?"
"Right down the street on Moore-park."
"I can swing by on my way home from work and set it all up if you like?" I offer.
"How much would that cost me?"
"Nothing, it would be my pleasure."
"That's very kind of you."
"Just give your address to the man at the stock room."
The old man walks off I turn back to find Ashley looking at me. I look at Ashley who stares at me for a moment as if trying to figure me out. I just stand there getting more and more nervous.
"Well, have a good day." I turn to walk away.
"Spencer. It's Spencer, right?"
"Last time I checked." I give her a shy giggle.
"Do you want to go out some time?"
I swallow "Excuse me?"
"Oh, I mean I saw you checking out that blonde. I didn't mean to assume. I'm sorry."
"No, you were right. Don't be sorry." I smile.
"I just... I don't know, I thought it might be fun." She shrugged smiling at me hopefully.
"I would love to. That seems like something I would like, and... Yeah. In fact, I was just about to ask you."
"I beat you to it." She grinned, her whole face lighting up. I couldn't help but notice how beautiful she really was and she asked me out! Oh god, panic time… While I had my panic attack she kept speaking "Great. It'll be fun. And don't worry I'm not going to ask you to set up my VCR."
"Oh I can do it." I knew she didn't want to go on an actual date with me.
"I was joking." She tried to catch my eyes as I looked to the floor.
"Oh. Okay." We smile at each other exchange numbers and she goes off to buy the VCR I just sold her.
I tell Dave and Jay what happened. "Who's the girl?" I point to Ashley who is paying for her VCR. "Her? Oh man, you hit the jackpot. She is a waitress next store. I wondered why she kept turning me down. Good for you, girl. This is good."

We arranged to go out later tonight I'm standing in front of my mirror deciding what to wear, I decide to just throw on some skinny jeans, my converse and a cute little shirt I thought I'd never wear anywhere.
Then the doorbell goes I take a deep breath, I can do this it's just dinner, dinner than maybe I get to kiss her, then kissing leads too… Oh god I'm panicking again. I open the door and feel instant relief wash over me. Not only is Ashley actually standing there and this is really happening but she's standing there grinning from ear to ear, her little nose crinkling right at me with a white rose in her hand, I melt. Why was I worried again?
She dressed in black skinnies, converse, a white shirt with a black skinny tie, damn she looked hot and it seems we both have excellent taste in clothing.
Ashley cleared her throat and I realize I must have been staring a little longer than I thought. She smiled up at me "This is for you" handing me the rose "Did you want to ogle some more or did you want to head out?" She smirked.
I blushed a deep shade of red "Erm, yes, out is where we are, erm, where exactly are we going?"
"Ah that's a little secret that you'll soon find out" She smiled and took my hand leading me to her car parked round the corner, whoa a ford mustang? I thought she was a waitress..
"Spencer!" I looked up and Ashley giggled opening the door for me "You kind of have to get in the car for me to be able to take you anywhere" she giggled again and ran round to her side getting in and starting up the car.
It roared to life and she speed off to wherever it was we were going.

We soon pulled up to a quaint little diner and were in and seated in no time at all.
"That's so funny that we work in the same mini mall and we have never seen each other."
"I've seen you. I eat at the restaurant you work at on Monday's."
"Really, Every Monday?" she looks genuinely surprised.
"Yeah, I would eat there more I just don't want to get sick of it." I shrugged.
"Have I ever waited on you?"
"Maybe a couple of times" It was definitely way more than a couple of times but I didn't want her to feel bad not remembering me, a lot of people don't.
"How long have you worked at Circuit City?"
"Nine years." I sigh.
"Wow. Do you like it?"
"Not really but it's a good job." Was this twenty questions? Is that what you do on a date? Do I have to think up questions to ask her? God, I'm so bad at this.
"What would you like to be doing?"
I have a collection of antique toys. I would like to open a store that sells those kinds of things. Maybe some comic books, I don't know if I'll ever be able to do it."
"Sure you will. You could do anything." She smiled again it was slowly becoming my new favourite thing.
"That's nice of you to say. What about you?"
"I want to work at that restaurant for the rest of my life. I have no goals or dreams. They've all been drained out of me." She said brokenly her eyes full of sadness.
I felt a powerful force urge me to give her a hug right then, hold her until she believed she was as good as I thought she was "That's not true."
"I just want to be happy. I don't care what I do, I just don't want it to be too hard, less hours. I guess what I am saying that I want to retire." We laugh
I decided at this moment from now on I wanted to make Ashley laugh as much as I could.
"What is with you?" she asks sweetly
"What?"
"There is something about you. I can't tell what it is."
"Is it bad?" Oh god here's where she decides she doesn't want me and storms off.
"I think it's good. But I don't know. Are you for real?"
"I'm real." I say slightly confused by what she means, she hasn't stormed off yet so that's good right, right?
"Good."
The evening continues well and Ashley invited me back to her place for a drink, she'd made me feel so comfortable the entire night I saw no reason not to. I really think I could like her, I mean she's smart, sexy and funny. She'll find out what a freak I am soon though and probably run in the opposite direction so best not get too attached.
We walk into her apartment, it was moderately sized but decorated exquisitely white and black with key pieces in red and art that you couldn't take your eyes off all over the walls.
"Can I get you a cocktail?"
"Sure." I walk towards her in the kitchen "Do you have orange soda? It's okay if you don't. Most people don't buy orange soda on a regular basis. I don't know why. It's really good." There goes another nervous rant.
Out of the blue, she kisses me hard on the mouth. The kiss lasts a long time. At first I don't quite know what to do but after about ten seconds I pretty much get it and actually participate.
When she stops kissing and looks at me I could not be redder, I feel like my whole face is on fire! I feel completely stunned and the butterflies in my tummy are having a party but there is happiness in there too. I smile.
"Let's go in the other room."
I follow her into her bedroom in full panic mode as Ashley jumps under the covers pulling off her shirt then she reaches under the sheets to remove her pants and underwear.
"Come on." She says grinning motioning to the empty space beside her.
"Oh. Okay." I'm full on shaking now I can't stop all the questions running through my head. What if this goes wrong? I really like her. What if she thinks I'm awful? What if… What if…
Ahh! Stuff it get under the covers with all my clothes still on and kiss Ashley, who is now completely nude. The feeling I get in my downstairs part when I touch her bare skin makes me want to do some naughty naughty things, like in that porn video.
Oh god what if Ashley is like really experienced and all into stuff I've never even heard of? Eventually the questions fade away and I seem to be getting the hang of it. There is a lot of pent-up energy between us right now but I'm really nervous to take this any further, on our first date too.
"Wow, you really like kissing." Her voice a little huskier than usual and it make my tummy do funny things again, I nod. "Take off your clothes."
"Really?" I say completely petrified
"You're shaking like a leaf, is this too fast? I never do this."
As terrified as I was I didn't want to miss thins chance I take off my jeans and Ashley shuts the lights, we kiss passionately with her taking off my shirt.
"Good job we don't have to worry about protection huh?"
"Why would we need protection? I don't like guns." I say utterly confused that soon disappears though when she laughs whole heartedly.
"You have a silly sense of humour. I think I have something you'll like" She smirks and reaches into the drawer in the end table and pulls out a dildo. "We can use my favourite"
I just stare at it not sure what to do I've never done anything like this before, hell I haven't even gone down on anyone before!
She hands it to me I briefly wonder how that would fit, I mean I'm not sure but I think it's a pretty small hole and this looks pretty damn big.
Ashley strokes up and down the inside of my thighs a strong pulse began in my lower regions and I feel myself get very hot, I weight it up in my hands considering what it might feel like. Ashley had slipped on the harness and turned around for me to clip it together.
I attempt this many times really struggling to find out with bit goes where, in all the porn films they just have slip on ones why does this have to be so hard I get more and more frustrated each time I fail, finally it clips on." There you go. Sorry about that. I always have trouble with those things. I haven't used 'em much. My last girlfriend had a slip on one."
She turned back around and smiled slipping the dildo in place. "I'm sure it will be worth the wait."
We go at it more passionately, I can feel it rubbing just at my centre and it's driving me crazy. Ashley's panting into my mouth I feel so turned on I really want this to happen now. Dare I say it this feels kind of great oh Jesus Ashley starts kissing down my jawline to my neck licking and nipping everywhere. This. Felt. Amazing. Why'd I wait so long?
All of a sudden the door flew open and the lights came on.
"What is going on in here?"
I sit up to look beyond Ashley to see two teenagers standing in the doorway. One little rebel girl with fiery dyed red hair and a punky looking boy.
"What are you doing?" shrieked Ashley.
"What are you doing? I can't believe you are allowed to have sex but I'm not! That is sooo unfair!" The red head slams the door and exits pulling the boy along with her.
"I should go." I felt extremely awkward now and a little embarrassed.
"No, it's okay. I just need to talk to her." She pleaded.
"No, I should." Embarrassment meant panic and being here was making it a lot worse.
I kiss her then quickly get out of bed putting my clothes on getting up to leave.
"I'm sorry." Ashley whispers almost sadly.
"Don't be." I smile and make a quick exit.
I think… I think I'm traumatized again.
