Reject Reality Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Here's a quick preview of "Pink Slip-pery Slope" *************** “You missed it,†Rob said, still chuckling under his breath. “Dean was over on cooler dock popping a dock plate while standing on it, and slipped on the ice. Busted his ass good.†Rich erupted into laughter at the supervisor’s misfortune and then said, “Ah, damn. I wish I could have seen that.†“It was fucking hilarious.†Rich suddenly pointed at something on a pallet and muttered under his breath, “Western.†Rob pulled his load sheet from his back pocket and made a show of looking it over for the Vice President’s benefit. The two friends then split up and did their best to look as if they were on an important mission. As Rob walked down the dock, Mr. Western turned away, apparently satisfied that they were working and going on the hunt for someone to bitch at. Disaster averted, Rob decided he’d better knuckle down for a while until the boss wandered back to his office up front. As it turned out, things got hectic and the time flew by until the last truck of the day was closed up and ready to roll. Having done his clean up in lulls throughout the day, he escaped well ahead of everyone else on his crew. Once out the front door, his eyes homed in on a young blonde he didn’t recognize talking to a woman from H.R. She had an incredible ass, and when she turned a little, he could see that the rest of her was just as delicious. As he walked closer, he overheard the young woman say, “Except for being the only girl without flowers on Valentine’s Day.†“Don’t give up yet. You still have a few days,†the older woman suggested as she turned to return to the building. The object of his attention noticed him approaching. Her eyes lit up and she smiled. “Hi.†“Hi,†Rob said as he stopped in front of her, getting an even better look at the blonde’s beautiful face, and breasts that really filled out her sweater. “New? Haven’t seen you before.†“Just started today. Julie.†“Rob,†he supplied. “Getting off work?†“Uh huh. You too?†“Yeah. Early for once.†May as well go for it, he thought. “I was going to go grab some Starbucks. Let me buy you one as a reward for surviving your first day?†She laughed and said, “Sure. I’d like that. The one up the road? Meet you there?†“Sounds good. See you in a couple of minutes.†She waved and started toward her car. As he watched her walk, there was no doubt that his day had just taken a decided turn for the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
