Danny was working in the warehouse that morning. It was just the start of another average day. He walked in and Stephen, his boss, handed him a stocking list so Danny just went straight into the back room to start searching for the needed items. He found enough on the list to fill his hand truck so he decided to take the first load out to the sales floor. Rounding the corner to head down the main aisle, he took a couple of steps, looked up and there she was...
The next thing Danny noticed was that he was walking back into the warehouse with the same hand truck full of product he had just intended to bring to the floor. So he turned around and went back out; he rounded the corner and there she was again, she smiles at Stephen and laughs at something he says; her cute little brown curls bounced with enjoyment. "Wow she has a sweet giggle" Danny thought...
Danny was now finished stocking. He remembered Stephen having told him to now go and organize the product by the registers but Danny wasn't ready. She was still here and Danny was paralyzed. Now she stood not ten feet away; she was working on something, building a display; her shoulders spread as she picked up a box and Danny could just see the dimples on the small of her back as her tank top stretched. Still talking with Stephen, Danny decided she must be a sales rep for one of the distributors that the store works with. Stephen said something to make her laugh again; this time she blushed and showed a perfect set of little white teeth gleaming. "Wow she has beautiful skin" Danny thought...
Danny was now finishing up with the registers so he went over to Stephen. "Who was that you were talking with before?" Danny asked.
"Her name is Jen"
"Wow. Her name is Jen. She has a lovely name" Danny thought...
And there she was again, "Bye Stephen! See y'all next week." said Jenn, standing on her toes to see over the register shelves. She turned her eyes towards Danny, twirled her long flowered skirt as she turned, then skipped out.
"Wow she's like an Angel" Danny thought...
From then on Danny didn't wake up and go to work. Danny woke up and went to Jen.
