First Day Together

I got to work and one of the guys, Don, I was friends with came up to me and put his hands on my shoulders and pushed down on me. “You look like you are walking on a cloud.” “Oh, I think I am or having a dream, pinch me. OUCH! No, I am not having a dream. The beauty at school, she went out with me and we kissed several times. She told me she thinks she loves me and I love her. I have only known her for few hours and I am so in love with her, I am going to marry her. She is so wonderful.”

I started testing TVs, you have to be careful to turn off the power source and ground out the power. My mind drifted off to Linda and “owww”, and I was on the floor with everybody looking at me. “What happened?” “You forgot to unplug the power cord before you unhooked the picture tube plug again.”

The one girl I worked with was standing right over me in a dress with no panties on and said “You were most likely thinking about trying to get your hands in my pants, oh, I am not wearing any. Do you like the view? You are welcome anytime.” I said “Not hardly!” “It’s right there for the taking and you’re not interested,” she said.

Jack said “He was thinking about that girl from school, he really has it bad for her. Better be careful you could get yourself killed.” I finished my shift and went home. I got home, showered and went to bed, but I could not really sleep. All I could think about was Linda and how beautiful she is. I love her so very much.

The next morning I could not wait to get to Linda’s house. When I got there she was waiting for me. We held each other tight and kissed several times. It was a nice warm day so Linda said, “We should go for a walk down to the lake.” As we walked I said, “I don’t even know your last name.” Linda said, “It is Von Haskeilmyer as in Haskeilmyer Air Craft. My parents own that, Haskeil Cargo and Swedish Air Lines.” “Oh my, now I know how you are so rich,” I said. “It is only money, without love it does not mean a thing. Now for the first time I care about the businesses because they will be ours in few years.”
