So, my new job lets me work outside the office sometimes--and there's a Barnes & Noble down the street. So, I grab my laptop, when I'm bored, and go to the bookstore and sit down in a quiet corner and do a little work, maybe read some Lit, and whatnot.
And while sitting there, today, all by myself in the "Arts and Crafts" section--engrossed in making some deals on the laptop--a young woman comes by. She was wearing some slacks and a nice silk blouse (cream coloured?). Pretty. Brunette.
And I looked up and smiled and she smiled and that was nice--and I went back to work in my chair in the "Arts and Crafts" section, dutifully (because I hate wasting time).
And she made her way to a few shelves behind me and after a moment I could smell her perfume. It was kinda sweet and reminds me of some kind of flowery smell you find in candles--don't know what to call it. And she walked away from the "Arts and Crafts" section, and smiled at me again as she left.
And between a woman smiling and that perfume. I'm not hard as a rock and fourteen shades of turned on.
Fuck.
Y'know, maybe we like to think we're a little jaded or unlikely to just "flip" like a lightswitch. Maybe we write and read a lot of porn. And we're not so easy to fall to nature.
But it just happened to me.
Whew.
