Dedicated to @JaysArmy whose stories I just love to read.
Ashley was completely self sufficient about her dating life and she hadn't wanted anyone to set her up with anyone.
Ok. Who was she kidding? She needed her best friend's help to get laid. This was what her life was, she worked as a company secretary to Mr. Richards, owner of a construction company here in Seattle. He was old, old enough to be her grandfather and yet he lived a more exciting life than she did.
People thought she was so lucky that she worked at a construction company with hot and sweaty construction workers prancing around but in reality, the closest she came to any construction worker was when they came around protesting in the office asking around for more pay. The only people she sees in office is Mr. Richards, the cleaning lady, and Mr. Jason, company's 50-year-old accountant.
She entered the club and felt a wave of anxiety fill through her. This was totally not her scene and she felt utterly uncomfortable in that place but Deb said it was a great place to meet. No one could see each other's face properly and less make up was needed.
She felt awkward and out place in her work clothes, a plain white shirt and a form-fitting black skirt, she didn't have enough time to go home and change and she felt like she didn't need to.
Deb said that he must be wearing blue.
But everything here is blue, the floors, the interior. How was she going to recognize him?
She saw a couple of people she knew. She waved at them and they waved back. The wave of anxiety toned down a bit by seeing them.
She scanned the room. It was pretty early in the club. Many people were sitting on the table having drinks and simply chatting. She checked her watch it was 8.59.
If he is not here in the next 15 minutes I will leave this place, go home, change into panda pajamas and cry to sleep, the daily routine! She mentally decided.
She scanned the room once more and something or rather someone caught her eye.
A really bulky man was sitting at the bar in a blue shirt and looking around the room.
That must be him, Josh, looking for her.
Her heart fluttered, he is really sexy, a little rugged but sexy.
She watches him a little bit more closely.
Fuck, he has a beard!
Tomorrow she needed to take Deb out for a 'Thank you' dinner.
She walks towards him, her heart beating fast.
She stood in front of him,"Hey, umm... Hi I am Ashley"
He was caught up in his thoughts when he hears a pretty girl talk to him. Then his eyes roam all over her. This is a very pretty lady, he thought. Her eyes were big and her face was filled with nervousness. Do I know her from somewhere? he thought.
"Hi, I am.." He said.
"Josh, I know, thankfully Deb told me your name," She said excitedly. He looks confused. Josh? Deb. Is she high? He saw relief wash through her. She gave him a big smile which he genuinely liked. He decided to play along.
"Deb?" He asked. Ashley was still standing in front of him.
"Uhh.. I am sorry, only a few people call her Deb, I am talking about Deborah" She told him her best friend's given name.
"Oh yes, yes, Deborah. Please take a seat" He said still unsure. He hated lying to get a girl and also he was not that desperate but he wanted to talk to Ashley now. He wanted to figure out where did he know her from.
