Brand New Love *Chapter 4* Holding his hand out to me, I took his and shook it, His touch was like electricity running through me, I suddenly became aware I was burning up like someone had just turned the heating on full whack, my heart was beating so much that I thought it would punch straight out through my chest, my ears were humming with blood rushing through them. I steadied myself. "Are you ok" he asked soothingly, grabbing my arm gently as he noticed me sway. I took in a massive breath... With that the button from my shirt burst exposing my heaving cleavage. He stared at me, his eyes never leaving my breasts, "I think you've lost something" he purred, his cheeks burned and his eyes shocked a passion into me that went straight to my muscles deep in my stomach. I looked at him head bowed, up through my eyebrows . I managed to stutter " I need a safety pin", releasing my arm, he went into a draw behind the counter and retrieved one and handed it to me. "Thank you, I think I better go re-adjust myself, I may scare away customers looking like this" looking down and pushing my cleavage up. "I don't think you'd scare away anyone" he said slow and sensually, he's eyes were fixated on my breasts, I took that moment to slink around him the back of him, the moment I was out of sight I bolted for the door, holding my hands to my chest, I punched in the code, as soon as the door swung open, I exhaled a massive breath I didn't even realise I was holding. Rushing upstairs and through the stockroom, Ellie saw me as I hurried my steps towards the door that led to the corridor "Eve is everything alright" I called after me, I stopped "I've had a slight wardrobe malfunction" pointing at my chest, "Oh dear, it's really not been the best first day for you has it?", she looked sympathetically towards me, "Max is back from lunch now so he can cover the photo counter, I need to to watch some videos on health and safety, go 'cover yourself up' and meet me in the staff room in 5" I nodded back, and made my way to the cloakroom, looking in the mirror I inserted the safety pin into my shirt, it held thank goodness. Still a little shaken from mine and max's first encounter... And embarrassed of the outcome of me revealing of myself, I shook myself down and exited the cloakroom, walking down the corridor to the staff room where Ellie was setting up the DVD player for me."these are quite long and boring I'm afraid but it's protocol to get you to watch them" I sat myself in one of the chairs and got comfy. After a long while I heard the door close behind me, everything shifted around me, my mind drifted away from the 'how to fight a fire" to how the room had some how lit up. " oh how I'm glad I don't have to watch them again" I turned around to see max behind my chair, his strong defined arms held the back of it. " I've come to tell you it's nearly 5.30", "oh" I whispered "I better get my stuff together", standing up I went to the DVD player and switched it off along with the tv. In the now silenced room, I turned to see Max, still holding on the the chair, almost crouched over it as he was so tall, I'd say about 6ft something, his black trousers were tight and I'm sure I could see a definite bulge in the right place. Feeling the intense atmosphere between us i physically couldn't handle it anymore if i continued to be so close to him he would ultimately be my un doing ,I walked towards the door and opened it,I felt his eyes followed me across the room, feeling like the ultimate sex goddess, I swung the door open, looked back and winked at him then immediately exited the room. As I reached the cloakroom door to collect things, max walked out of the staff room and looked down the corridor at me, and smirked, it was a smirk full of sexual prowess which instantly ignited a fire deep down below below belly. Opening the door, I found a safe haven the other side, and exhaled deeply. Was there something between or was my brain reading the signs wrong. Retrieving my things from the locker, and after putting on my coat I exited, I walked downstairs to the back door to find everyone waiting. Max was already there, worried I was reading the signs wrong I tried my best not to look at him, Ellie entered in the code to set the alarm and we all headed out the same door to the car park behind Simpsons. Turning to see Max getting into a car, I walked home content with giddy feeling of my new crush. That evening I met up with Josie, her parents had recently purchased a pub, so we spent the evening shooting pool. As I chalked the end of my cue I asked Josie what she thought about the whole Max situation, "Go for it, I don't see anything holding you back, is he interested in you?" She finished taking her pot on the pool table , I rolled the cue between my fingers and huffed "I don't know, we have this sort of energy between us, but I don't know if its me wanting to believe there's something there when there really isn't", I took my turn and potted a red, "Hmmm... Good point, your wishing for something so badly and your worried your reading the signs all wrong" she uttered back to me "exactly" I shrugged, "ok tomorrow at work, I'll watch both of your body language and see what I make of it, then I'll post back to you", "cheers Josie, you're a angel!" I grinned back.
