Crossed paths

Episode four:if stares could kill

Oh, does Ms Smith really not know of my upcoming wedding? “ he says. “I do, but what I want to know, Mr. all high and mighty is the type of suit you want me to tailor for you”, I roll my eyes as I say with obvious disdain. He looks at me with gloomy eyes and if stares could kill, I bet I wouldn’t be alive. And somehow I find hurting his precious ego appealing. I pull open my table drawer and take out a tape measure. I take records as I measure upper body. His neck, his shoulder, chest, then to the top length and then his sleeves.I continue to take measurements of his lower body and the thought of it makes my heart pound. “What if I mistakenly gaze at it?Is he going to notice? I think to myself. I wrap the tape around his waist and takes record of it, then I move the tape to his hips and wraps it around his waist. I squat to take measurements of his thighs,I cough and clear my throat twice as I ask,”Can you please widen the space in between your legs, Mr. Kraine?. He looks down at me with a smirk and as if I read face language, I quickly say to him with a beet red face,“ oh no, it’s never like that, it’s just to record a precise measurement to avoid any mishap.
