Amber sends a sexy selfie

"Oh. I forgot. :x" What could she have forgotten? There was, of course, the possibility that something had come up -- a shift change, something in Amber's personal life -- that would interfere with her staying over. The possibility made Reese anxious, and they weren't sure why... they weren't entitled to her time, after all, and they'd only just met; it wasn't fair to expect themself to be a priority.

These thoughts were fleeting, half-formed, and Reese didn't have time to ponder them seriously. It was like walking through a party, half-listening to the conversations all around you as you made your way to the bathroom. Or something like that. Reese wasn't a deep person.

They were in the middle of typing, "What's up?" when the picture appeared.

It was a selfie. Amber was in what Reese assumed to be the Heirloom employee restroom. She was fully dressed, though she'd shed her work apron. For a brief moment Reese thought that it was just a cute selfie their bored buddy had decided to send them... then they noticed her expression. Amber wasn't smiling, but she looked decidedly not unhappy -- she was softly biting her lower lip, looking straight at the camera... it was an expression that belonged in a magazine ad, not a picture taken in a cafe restroom; for some reason this juxtaposition excited Reese all the more. They admired the way her free hand curled softly against her chest, toying with a shirt button. Speaking of, it was her chest that made her intentions clear. Amber had undone a few of her buttons, just enough to reveal the left half of her bra. She'd pushed the cup down, giving Reese a glimpse of her pierced nipple. The little metal nub gleamed in the fluorescent light of the restroom.

Reese swallowed, studying the picture. They felt the blush coloring their cheeks, the smile tugging at the corners of their lips. "Oh. Wow. :)" they texted, feeling silly the moment they pressed "send." What a non-response. Before Amber had a chance to respond they followed up with, "You're so fucking cute."

"Yeah?" she texted back. "This wasn't dumb of me to send?"

"Nooo. Umm... you look really sexy. :x"

"Yeah? :)

"Mmhmmm... ugh. 4 more hours. :("

"Excited to see me? :)"

"Even more than before."

":) You know what would get me through the rest of the day?"

"What?"
