Meeting Kathrine

....

You walk into a decently sized retail store. The lights are slightly dimmed giving it this somber and mellow feel. There are a few customers here and there looking at clothes and chatting amongst their little groups. Mannequins stand at almost every other corner posing in stylish outfits.

....

"Hrmm~ how about....her? She seems cute right?" Ms. Jenny's words echo in your mind as she pointed to a random woman walking towards a retail store.

The woman looked like she was well in her late 30's. She's about average height, has light fair skin with faint freckles visible on her cheeks and her soft brown hair settles on her shoulders completing her 'wholesome' look. She looks like someone who has her life put together. It'll be awkward and honestly embarrassing to try and hit on her but....you've already agreed on the bet. Ms. Jenny snickers as you take a deep breath and walk in after the woman.

....

Now you stand only 15 ft away from her as she peruse the clothes one by one totally oblivious to your presence. You're admittedly a little nervous now in this spot despite being high on confidence mere moments ago.

Not to toot your own horn but you're good looking. So you'll work with that, make it an accident, bump into her or something, pull out the charm, converse, seduce and then bingo! You set the bait, lure her in and then catch her....

....which is easier said than done of course but you've gotta play with what you have.

Ms. Jenny: [I'm watching from a distance. Go for it handsome!~]

Ms. Jenny messages you and you glance at the phone quickly before putting it away. You gotta focus. You got this.

You walk forward with steps taken in strides. You feign a look somewhere else, eyes scanning the other wall, back turned....then you 'accidentally' bump into her. Her eyes shoot open with surprise and she trips, her heels dance on the floor trying to catch herself. A loud, "Ah!" Comes from her as she does. You quickly grab her back and arm to hold her up. She uses you as support leaning against your chest with her hands.

A nice foral scent. She smells nice....

"Ah- I'm sorry Ma'am, I didn’t see you...." You say making a sorry face.

"Oh, I-I'm alright. Thank you so much for catching me." She says smiling back and stands up straight again.

"Are you okay? Hurt anywhere?" You let her go.

The woman shakes her head. "No no, I am okay. Don't worry ummm....young man." You see her smile warmly....a familiar smile.....yes, very familiar. It's the smile you see often on your mother. A very comforting one.

You then trace her body up and down having a closer look at her. She's pretty competent in her own right when it comes to her figure. Her chest is developed, her hips are wide, her body has a healthy weight to it and her backside is well rounded. She's not as well endowed as your mother but with how close they look in age you recognize that this woman is just as motherly as your own. This makes your heartbeat spike a small bit. Ms. Jenny sure knows how to choose them huh?

You then make eye contact with the woman and realize that she spots you ogling her.

"Oh- sorry. Umm...." You look away and put a hand to the back of your neck nervously. You almost forgot what you were doing lost in your own thoughts.

"It's alright...." She looks away too and smooths out her blouse and skirt. You catch a slight smile on her lips when you look back giving you a little more confidence.

"My name's Jun. It's nice to meet you." You say and lift out your hand for her to shake.

She turns and takes your hand before speaking back. "Ah, I'm Kathrine, it's nice to meet you too Jun....haha." She let's out a nervous laugh and looks away. Her soft face and features of pure genuineness makes you melt. She's cute. You feel guilty almost knocking her over.

"Ms. Kathrine then. Um, I didn't see you, I apologize." You say doing a few pleading bows at her.

"NO! No! It's okay Jun! There is no need." She says putting her hands up.

You stop bowing and put a hand to your chest. A deep breath escapes you as you sigh relieved. "Thank god I didn't hurt you....Um, are you just shopping on your own Ms. Kathrine?"

"Ah yeah, yeah I am. Just shopping alone." She says not looking at you and slides a hand behind her ear to tug away a strand of hair.

"Oh, if that's the case then can I accompany you? I'm shopping alone as well and I don't really know what gifts to get for my friends and family. Perhaps you can help a little?"

"Yes! Of course! I'm also coincidentally getting gifts for....well, family too, haha. So I'll be happy to help." Ms. Kathrine replies back with enthusiasm.

"Ah! Perfect then! I appreciate it. Thank you so much!" You clasp your hands together as a show of thanks.

Kathrine chuckles to the side and waves her hand for you to follow as if you were a kid. "Let's look around."
