before seeing a woman. It was usually the other way around. I got out of my car and walked into the small office. It was fairly bare and casual and had not changed much since I lived here. The owner was always such an ass and I hated the idea of Gina having to work for him. In that moment I wanted to rescue her, a very strange and unusual feeling. As soon as I walked in the glass door, the annoying man himself was already up and coming my way with his hand out for me to shake.
"Matthew Jenison! It is so good to see you! Do you think I could get your autograph?” he shouted in an obnoxious enthusiastic manner. Well at least he was a fan and would probably let me take Gina out for a long lunch without any opposition.
"Yes, of course no problem," I said as I shook his hand and took the opportunity to look around the office for Gina. Then the man pushed a photo of myself in my hand to sign. "I am actually here to see Gina. She does work here does she not?" I asked nicely.
The man looked stunned for a second and then said, "Gina, of course yes she is right over there. She is one hell of a star worker. We love having her working here,” I could tell that he was lying and probably treated her badly. But I would deal with that later. For now I wanted to see and talk to my mysterious Gina. I looked in her direction and I smiled and waved. Then I said goodbyes to the boss man and walked straight over to her desk. She had a look of shock on her face and I sort of liked having that effect on her.
"Hey Gina," I said as I sat on the top of her desk in a casual way.
"Hey Matthew, you came here for me?" she said with a confused look on her face.
"Yes I asked around a bit and was told that you work here. So I thought I would come see you in action. Maybe we can go grab lunch, or I could take you to dinner later," I said as I looked at her locking eyes with her.
"You asked around about me?" she said arching her eyebrows at me. It was very cute.
"Yes, of course I did why is that so unusual? We really didn't get to finish talking yesterday at the luncheon and you sort of ran out of there before I could get another word in. If I didn't know any better I would think you are avoiding me," I laughed out the words a little but I knew that there was some truth to it and I wanted to know why. "No, that is not the case at all. I am just a very busy woman,” she said shifting in her seat a bit.
As we talked and flirted a little, I wondered what she was thinking. It seemed like old times but she seemed very guarded toward me. It seemed like she didn’t trust me. I wondered if my player reputation has effected how she saw me? It was true that I was a player, but I would never treat her like that. Gina was different.
"So what do you say? Want to grab lunch?" I asked with grin.
"Oh Matthew that is very kind, but I really can't. I have so much work to do that I can't take a break. I am so sorry," she said nervously. I knew that she was hiding something.
"OK, I can understand that. How about if we grab dinner then, I can come pick you up at your place." I continued.
"No!" she shouted. I laughed and said, "OK, I didn't realize dinner with me would be so horrific."
"No, I am sorry I did not mean for it to come out that way. Dinner with you would be great, but I am just so busy and I would have to get a babysitter and that takes time. Maybe some other night before you leave back to Los Angeles," she said in a rambling sort of nervous way. Now she did not want to spend time with me alone. This was getting more and more mysterious.
"Thank you for stopping by Matthew. Let me walk you out side," she said trying to get rid of me. It was something that astounded me. I had not been treated like a regular person in a very long time. Usually people were doing everything they could to get to spend time with me and here was this woman trying to get rid of me. It both wounded me and turned me on at the same time.
"That is all right I think I can show
