Jude
It's been a few days since I had dinner with V. If I thought she was always on my mind before finding her again, these past few days Ive been obsessed. When I close my eyes I see her smile, I dream of her body benth mine. She constantly on my mind.
Laying in bed tonight, I'm lost in the memories of all those years ago. Meeting her, being her best friend, talking to her everyday, seeing her everyday, holding her everyday. Back then my life was a disaster, kinda like it is now, and she was the light in the darkness.
****Flash back*****
Walking into work my phones notifications go off, checking it, I see it's my fiancee.
Wifey to be - can we have dinner tonight? I need to talk to you.
Well that doesn't sound good. Things have been stressed between us. But mostly because she planning a wedding that's so big and lavish, itll take me 40 years to finally pay it off.
Me- of course. I'll pick you up at 7.
Wifey to be- ok. Thank you
Me - no problem. Love you.
Wifey to be - see you at 7.
What, no love you too? She must be pissed about something. I have absolutely no idea what the f**k I did this time.
Slipping my phone in my pocket I head to the front desk to clock in.
“Jude! Perfect!”
It's my supervisor, Johnnie. He thinks we're buddies, I wouldn't go that far. He's alright.
“Whats up?”
“I need you to show the new girl around.” He says patting me on the shoulder.
“Come on dude! I'm not a trainer.” I look at him.
I hate working with new people. I just don't have the patience for it. I've been here for 3 years, I know how to do my job and I do it well. But training is not part of my job.
“Just for today, Jamie called in and I got no one else. You don't have to train her, just give a tour and have her shadow you a little bit. I promise it'll be worth it.” He starts begging me.
“Ugh!”
“Um, excuse me, Johnnie? I need a bigger size.” The sweetest voice comes from behind me.
I turn around to see the most beautiful creature I've ever seen. She not tall, but not short. He long brown hair braided over her shoulder, her body fills out her jeans like they were custom made for her curves. Curves I would love to run my tounge over. She smiles at me, putting out her hand.
“Hi, I'm Victoria. It's my first day.”
“Jude” I say taking her hand. Her skin is so soft, I instantly image her running her hands all over my body.
“Victoria, great, Judes going to show you around today, take you under his wing, show you the ropes you know? And then tomorrow when. Jamie's here she'll training you at the station you'll be working at. Sound good?” Johnnie tells her, squeezing my should.
“Sounds great” she says nodding her head,”but I need a bigger shirt. I can't get the top buttons done.” She adds a slight blush gracing her cheeks.
I look down at her chest, and sure enough that poor shirt is barely containing those huge amazing breats. The buttons look like they'll pop off if she takes too deep of a breath.
“Unfortunately it's the last shirt I have here, I have to go the main office and pick up some more this afternoon. Do you think it'll work for the day?” Johnnie sounds anything but sorry. He's squeezing my should so tight with excitement. He's lying to her, I know he gave her that small shirt on purpose.
“I guess,” she says looking uncomfortable.
“Great! Now you two go on, get to work. Have fun” he say ushering us to the door.
“Your welcome you lucky bastard.” He whispers in my ear before walking away.
“Alright, well, umm I don't really train people.” I start to explain,”so I'm just going to show you the important s**t. Cool?”
“Sounds good” she laughs, the sound cause my d**k to twitch in my pants. This is going to be a long day.
“Ill start with clocking in, because honestly nothing else is worth it if your not getting paid.” I joke walking her over to the time clock.
She laughs again. She still looks so uncomfortable, so I take off my company hoodie and hand it to her.
She looks at if for a minute.
“Thanks” she finially whispers taking it from my outstretched hand. She gives me a small smile.
“Dont mention it” I say turning around and headed for the backdoor that leads to the warehouse work floor.
We walk out into the floor, I head for my station to put my stuff down .
“Alright, so this is my station. I finalize all orders. If I were to guess you'll probably be over in packaging.” I point across the room where Toni and Bella are packaging products.
“Oh, ok” she says looking around the warehouse
I head over to the packaging station, “Good morning Toni, Bella” I nod at the two women.
“Jude! How are you?” Toni asks pausing her work.
“I'm alright, this is Victoria, she'll be joining you tomorrow, when Jamie is back.” I explain, gesturing to Victoria behind me.
“Hi” she squeaks waving her hand.
“Victoria, this is Toni and Bella” I introduce the ladies.
“Hello” they both say waving.
“Jude? Is that your sweater?” Bella asks raising an eyebrow. She's knows is mine, my f*****g names on it!
“Wait, let me guess.” Toni says putting her hands up in front of her, ”Johnnie only had an ex-small shirt for you.” she guesses right looking at Victoria.
She nods slowly.
“He's such a pig. Thank God, Jude is a real gentleman!” Toni says giving me a hug.
“ Oh stop! You'll make me blush.” I joke hugging Toni back.
The girls all start laughing.
“Alright, alright, we gotta finish this tour so I can get some work done today.” I say stepping back from the group.
“It was nice meeting you,” Victoria sweetly says before following me to the back of the warehouse.
I show her the locker rooms, the break room,the bathrooms, the smokers bench (just in case, you never know).
I walked her through the entire production line. Showed her where the orders come in, where the products are made, then the inner package station, we waved to Toni and Bella as we walked past the final packaging station, past the pallets of completed orders awaiting the finalizing station, which is what I do. Quality and accuracy check before it's sent out into the world.
We end up back at my station right before it's time for lunch.
“So, that's the warehouse.” I shrug.”Any questions?”
She looks around the building, before turning back to me, “No I think I got it.” She says giving me a small smile.
“Alright. Then it's time for lunch.” I inform her.
“Oh great! I'm starving.” She gives me a smile that makes my chest tingly.
We head to the break room. I stop by the locker room to grab my lunchbox.
When we sit down at the table she pulls a paper bag lunch from her purse.
“I'll talk to Johnnie about your locker.” I tell her. I felt bad she had to carry all her stuff around all day.
“No worries, but thank you. That'd be great.” She says unwrapping a burrito.
We ate in silence for the most part. But it wasn't awkward or anything. A comfortable silence.
“So now what?” She asks, gathering the trash from her food.
“Well, you saw all those pallets of orders waiting for me. You'll be helping me finalize them.”
“Oh? Alright." she says standing up, grabbing her things off the table.
I grab my stuff and we head back to work.
The rest of the day goes by fairly quick. Victoria caught on to the process fast and we breezed through all of the days orders. Before I know it, it's time to go home.
Victoria gathers her things from under my desk, there wasn't anywhere else to put them since Johnnie hadn't given her a locker. We head to the office to clock out.
“ So? How was it Victoria? How was your first day?” Johnnies waiting at the time clock for us, well for her.
“It was good,” she says nodding at him.
“Jude was nice? Showed you everything? He asks looking over to me.
“ Yup, he was great. Its too bad I won't be able to work with him again.” She says looking up at me.
I can't help smirk at Johnnie.
That's right asshole.
“I just need the right size shirt and a locker and I'll be all set” she says drawing Johnnie attention back to her.
“Oh yes, of course. I will have a shirt and locker assignment for you when you come in tomorrow.” He says not so casually dropping his eyes. Disappoinment shadows his gavlce as he sees she's completely covered by my sweatshirt.
“Thankfully Jude let me borrow this today.” Victoria says looking down at my sweatshirt.
“How sweet of him.” Johnnie compliments me with frustration in his eyes.
“Alright, well I gotta get home. My husband has to go to work.” She says slipping around Johnnie to clock out.
Husband? She has a husband? She's like 22!
Johnnie and I lock eyes at her statement.
“ Have a good night. See you tomorrow.” I say to her as she slips by Johnnie again headed out the door.
“Bye”. She waves before leaving.
“s**t! Married, that's a shame.” Johnnie says, shaking his head.
“Like you had a chance anyway.” I spit at him, shoving him to the side so I can clock out.
“f**k it,” he says “I'm still going after her. Did you see her in that shirt!! f**k!”
He pats my shoulder as I walk by him.
“Whatever, Johnnie. See you tomorrow.” I say over my shoulder, walking out the door.
