Like i already presumed as i watched them come into the store, these two would surely try my patience and that....very badly.
Just exactly what I needed, so shortly before closing time.

They really were a odd couple these two, one of them managed to almost choke on a sip of water, while the other one was batting her eyes at me like a puppy under the tree on Christmas morning, aaaand then, to have the nerve to tell me, of all people......how much she liked hot chocolate!!!

I mean..for real??????

I still wasn't quite sure, if i was supposed to feel offended, or if this was her very strange choice of a pick up line.
And if that was indeed the case,....then Lady you sure need to improve your selection, because that wasn't going to cut it.

What the hell was she thinking?
If so at all!

Did she really expect i would fling myself to her feet, or swoop her up in my arms?
Poor disillusioned soul!!!

Well you're barking up the wrong tree, that's for sure.

Unbelievable!!!

Shaking my head in disbelief i returned to my Worktable in the back and continued to assemble the Floralarrangement which was ordered for a wedding the following day.

What the hell was happening here?

Either this Woman was absolutely deaf and blind, or not.....not what????

Not interested,....??

No way....totally impossible!!

I straightened up my shoulders and took in a deep breath!

I wouldn't let her get off the hook that quickly, i decided.

First of all, i had a challenge to win and secondly...i found myself quite intrigued by her.

After another deep breath, i got up from my seat and proceeded on my way through this little Jungle, in search of this five foot ten Jane.

As i reached the Counter with the Register, i noticed an opening there, which i then quietly passed and approached the open doorway behind it.

There she was, sitting at a large table covered with, which seemed like an Ocean of Flowers. A vast Array of colourful petals and greens, loads of wiring and other things i had no clue about, surrounded her and amidst of all this chaos, in my eyes,....there she was going about her work.

Her work that seemed more like magic to me, as i quietly stood there and watched her, watched how her slender Hands moved quickly, yet smooth, while putting together dozens and dozens of delicate flowery arrangements.

Doing my best at keeping as silent as I possibly could, as not to bother or interrupt her work of art, I let my eyes slowly wander all over her and couldn't help myself, but to smile during my gaze.

Looking at her, I found myself wondering....wondering about her and really wondering about me and my thoughts.
Up until now, I had never cared much for the muscular fit type of women, or I should rather say....I wasn't attracted to them, but looking at her......made me believe I could maybe change my mind.
Ohhh.....for Pete's sake, could.....?!
Who was I trying to kid...?
I was already doing it!!

There was something about her, something I couldn't quite put my finger on.....but something very intriguing, something very unusual, that really had me interested and which left me desperately wanting to find out what this special something was.

Highly concentrated, the mysterious woman proceeded with her arrangements and although I didn't want to bother her, I did what I had to do and so I softly cleared my throat and smiled at her.

"I would like to have a glass of water, if that is ok...?"

startled by my sudden appearance and the sound of my voice, she immediately jumped up from where she was sitting and quickly brushed the remaining flower petals off of her apron, before approaching me.

"Of course it is! I'm sorry....it seems I completely lost track of time....!"

with five strides of her long legs, she then left the Flowersection and entered the Café side, giving me a hard time keeping up with her, but also the chance of thoroughly checking out her backside, which surely made up big time, for my "disadvantage"....I grinned to myself.

I was very pleased to see, that all her muscles aside, she still had all the womanly curves, in all the right places.
And a very good part of those delicious curves, I was able to admire...thanks to her tight fitting Jeans.....oh yes definitely delicious..

Mustering up all the willpower I had, I tore my eyes off of her tempting backside and returned to my table, where I mentally went over my further steps and how I would eventually win her over.
At least that was on my mind until she came over and I literally sank into her dark brown eyes, yet again.
A warm, soothing sensation took ahold of my body, crawling inside of me through every pore, making me quiver, as my gaze slid ever so slowly from her eyes, down to her lips......full, rosy and sure as hell unbelievably soft.....

"Here you are. And like I said, I'm really sorry for making you wait. I kinda got caught up in all those flowers I guess....!"

she shrugged her shoulders in an apologetic manner and grinned a bit sheepishly.

Mmmm....getting caught up....huh?
Yeah I could really understand what she meant, I was still caught up with her smile and in her eyes.....and I would love for it to last for hours on end, buuuut I wasn't going to loose sights of my long-term goal.
Again I cleared my throat and answered her with a smile.

"That's ok...!"  .....and then took a sip of my water.

"Can I get you anything else?" she enquired politely and I decided to rattle her cage a bit.

As she gathered up the used dishes from the table, our fingers touched briefly, sending a tingling sensation throughout my body and directly down into my midsection.
What the hell???
I gasped on the inside, but nevertheless keeping my composure, I smiled at her and replied...

"Yes......your Phone number...!"
