Another Surprise...

The next day at work the mail guy dropped a load of packages of on Steve's desk.

"Ahhh, these must be for the trip" Steve said looking pleased.

He opened them up and started removing the contents. He unpacked a couple of bottles of champagne and various other precarious looking finely wrapped boxes and bags.

"What's all this?" I asked curiously.

"Well, these are the items I ordered to prepare for the trip. Here, this one is yours."

"Me?"

"Yes. Now open it."

"Okay"

I took the parcel and began tearing away at the wrapping paper revealing a sleek, black, box. When I opened it, inside was a beautiful white, bikini. It had a very sexy, yet sophisticated look to it.

"Do you like it?" Steve asked nervously.

"Oh my gosh, yes! It's beautiful. Thank you so much!"

"Great. I'm glad. Here's another box for you" he said handing me a second package.

I opened this one up and found a beautiful white floral dress.

"Thank you" I gushed.

"Glad you like them, you all sorted for the expo then?"

"Yeah. Pretty much. Except for packing..."

"Don't forget the swimsuit." he laughed "And, we can have a drink or two."

"Of course" I giggled back at him.

As the day progressed, I couldn't stop thinking about how kind and generous he had been buying me such expensive gifts. And on top of that, it seemed like we were getting closer. Maybe there was more to our relationship than just a professional connection. Maybe there was a bit of romance mixed in as well? Whatever it was, it made me feel warm inside and excited at the same time.

But then I reminded myself that he was my boss. He was my husbands boss. He was just my employer. Yes, he had bought me some nice things. But it wasn't because he liked me. It was simply because he had invited me on a trip and didn't want me to embarrass him by dressing poorly. It was nothing more than that. I mean, he was older than me and much better looking too. There was no way he would ever find someone like me attractive.

As soon as 5:30 came around I raced out of the office and hurried home. Once there I immediately got busy preparing for the trip. First thing was first. I had to pack. I gathered all my toiletries and put them into a bag, then I grabbed a suitcase and threw in all my clothes and shoes, followed by some accessories, and of course, the gifts from Steve. When everything was packed, I double checked the tickets and confirmed the flight time and details. Everything looked perfect.

Now all I had to do was wait for tomorrow to arrive.
