I had always been attracted to her. I like that self confidence that allows a woman to smile unabashedly at men in a way that says that she never feels herself to be less than they. Julie was definitely an strong and assertive woman, and easily the equal to any man. One day I was getting a drink at the water fountain down the hall when she walked by. The water fountain was located around a bend in the hall from the office doors, and was next to the door to the ladies room. She had just come out of the ladies room, and as she walked by she gently swatted my seat. I was so surprised I almost bumped my head on the wall behind the fountain. "Now now!" I said as I quickly straightened up and looked after her. |
