It took a bit of extra effort to get to work early enough that he could observe this little ritual of his, but it was worth it. The other partners saw it as a sign that he was a go-getter, something they all respected. He saw it as an opportunity to watch Anna Maria walk the fifteen or so steps from the front door to the hallway which led to her office. In his mind that was worth getting up early for any day. What had immediately endeared Anna Maria to Paul was not her physical beauty, although she certainly had not been short-changed where that was concerned. Rather, it was the obvious and powerful fact that she had never felt compelled to sacrifice either her femininity to her professionalism, or her professionalism to her femininity. Even those always-present office boors, like Jim Carmichael, who hit on every woman who came through the doors, could sense the strength of her integrity and intelligence, just as strongly as her, at times, almost over-powering sensuousness. The women in the office recognized it too, from her first day there, but amazingly enough they all liked her and if they were threatened either by her beauty or her potential for success, they never showed it. There was a youthful innocence and charm about her which seemed to make her seem non-threatening, but which did nothing to lessen the validity of her position in the firm. "Buenos dias, Senorita Anna Maria," Paul said, rising and bowing deeply as she entered the room. His Spanish was pathetic, but she loved his attempts at it, nonetheless. "Good morning, Mr. Medlin," she replied, smiling that beautiful smile, and stopping to curtsy with a graceful flourish, holding her skirt out to the side. She walked close to him, knowing he would enjoy the scent of her new perfume, and gave her head an almost indescernible toss which made her brown hair sway seductively as she turned to walk down the hall. Paul stood with the paper still in his hands, watching her every movement until she disappeared into her office. Sandra, the receptionist, was accustomed to this morning ritual, but she couldn't resist watching it, nor could she resist smiling at Paul when he turned his head back to her and shook it slowly from side to side. "If she stays here fifty years, you'll still be doing that every morning, won't you?", Sandra asked, teasingly. "Yes," he said, folding the paper back up. "Even if they have to roll me in, I'll still be doing that. Not a doubt in the world." "You could always ask her out, you know." It wasn't the first time she had suggested it. "Right. I have a tie that is older than she is. Not that I wouldn't love it, you understand." "I still say she might surprise you. Wouldn't kill you to ask her." "No, it would only kill me if she said no. Maybe someday. We'll see." Closing the door to his office, Paul reveled for just a few more minutes in self-pity, and then purposely set about shaking his thoughts clear of the adorable young woman who had such a stong appeal to him. There was work to do. In her own office, Anna Maria looked at her calendar, trying to focus on what lay ahead of her for the day. Appointments til eleven, a firm meeting with the partners and associates from eleven until lunch, then two more appointments in the afternoon. Maybe she would get away a little early today, if all went well. The phone on her desk buzzed. It was Sandra. "This is none of my business, but he's crazy about you, you know." "Who?" "Who? Who do you think? Paul Medlin." "Oh, he isn't, silly. He's just a nice man who genuinely likes women." "No, it's more than that. Trust me. He's just afraid you think he's too old for you. Do you?" "Too old? He's 47 isn't he? Is that too old for me?" Sandra laughed quietly. "I guess you have to answer that one for yourself. Personally, I don't think a man like Paul can ever be too old." "I like older men. He should know that." "Well, he may never know it if you don't tell him. Unless you want me to tell him?" "No! I mean, no...it's okay, I'll try to let him know that I don't think he's too old...somehow..but I still think you're wrong about his interest in me. He probably thinks I'm too young." Sandra sighed. "I give up. Just thought you'd like the opinion of an old pro at these things." "Yes, thanks very much, old pro," Anna Maria said cheerfully. "I'll keep you posted, okay?" As she put the reciever back in its place, Anna Maria smiled to herself and thought about Paul. Maybe it was time to boost his courage a bit. Perhaps Sandra was right, afterall. There wasn't time to think much more about Paul until the firm meeting, and Anna Maria found it hard to concentrate on business with him seated across the table from her. If he had a similar problem he certainly didn't show it. There had been times, though, when Anna Maria had sensed the truth of Sandra's suspicions, even though she wouldn't admit it to her. There was sometimes a power in his gaze that in itself was enough to almost melt her when he looked at her. She knew he worked hard to stay in control of his emotions, and she wondered what he would be like in bed. He was certainly handsome, nearly six feet tall, just a touch of gray showing in his dark blonde hair. There was somehow a mixture of cruel toughness underlying his friendly and always gentlemanly manners, something which Anna Maria found particularly appealing. He seemed strong and intelligent, but yet gentle and caring. Older men were often like that, but none she had met so far mixed those attributes as attractively as Paul did. Toward the end of the meeting, Anna Maria thought about asking Paul if he would like to have lunch with her, but then remembered that she had promised to meet Betty at Julian's. She had been looking forward to that too, so she resigned herself to waiting for another time. Betty had been a good friend to Anna Maria ever since they roomed together at Westhampton. It had been easy for them to stay in touch, but they had both been busy since graduation, and they only saw each other irregularly now, often less than once a month. Anna Maria wanted to see her more often and to rekindle some of the closeness they had felt while rooming together, but she wasn't sure how to go about it. Betty was waiting for her at a table toward the back of the busy restaurant. At 5'9", Betty was taller than Anna Maria, and her blonde hair and fair skin was quite a contrast to Anna Maria's hispanic features. Anna Maria had always envied her long legs and larger breasts, although she was very proud of her own body, and preferred being 5'6". She loved the way she looked in high heels, and Betty found it hard to wear heels as high as the ones Anna Maria preferred. She remembered fondly how Betty used to try hers on, and the wonderful effect they had on her legs as she modeled them. Thinking about that made her flush, and she tried to change her thoughts to more normal things as she sat across from her friend. "We really should spend more time together, Anna," Betty said later during their meal. "I know you're busy, but we should just make some time for us." Anna Maria laughed softly. "Are you a mind reader? I was just thinking the same thing myself. I miss our college days. Why don't we go shopping sometime soon? I love to shop, now that I can finally afford to buy something." "That's a great idea! I'd love that. How about Saturday? Will you be free?" "Yes! And I know just what we'll do. We'll start early, maybe have breakfast at The Jefferson. Then we'll shop hard until lunchtime, have a nice long lunch together at Brennigan's, shop hard again until around 5:00, and then we'll go to my house, cook some steaks on the grill, and try on what we bought. How does that sound?" "I love it! And, one more thing. We both get to pick one outfit out that the other one HAS to buy. There is something I've been dying for you to have, and now's the chance for me to make sure you get it." "Agreed! Just don't forget that you're the one who came up with that idea." Betty chuckled and smiled warmly at Anna Maria. It wasn't the only idea she had come up with. She just hoped that Anna Maria was ready for the others. Continued in MRWADE.132....
