Curtis was on the phone with a co-worker, "Hey, can you hold a minute? The
other phone is ringing and it may be an answer to
the on-line ad I placed. I placed it in the help wanted for someone to clean my office.
No, I didn't use this number, I used the
line for the computer - 5787. Great, be right back."
Running into the living room from his office he grabbed the phone on its fifth ring,
"Hello?"
He thought that the person had hung up but he stayed on the line and listened. Sure that
someone was there he repeated,
"Hello? Are you calling about the ad?"
He heard the loveliest voice answer, "Yes. Is this a bad time to talk? I can call
back if you're busy."
"No, no. This is a perfect time to talk. How are you and thanks for answering my ad.
I'm pretty desperate."
She didn't respond for a moment looking down at the number she had copied off the personal
ads on line - 5786 and didn't
remember anything in the ad saying desperate.
He heard her voice change and she sounded almost worried, "Desperate? Well I can't
say the same but your ad on line was
rather interesting so I thought I'd call and see if you wanted to talk about what you
need."
Curtis thought he met his dream-cleaning worker. All he could think of was he just needed
help dusting and maybe filing all his
papers. He thought her asking about his needs made her one of the best candidates for the
job that had called. He chuckled and
answered, "Well, I'm really kind of a plain and boring man and just need some help
getting myself together. I wouldn't take
much of your time and I'd be really grateful."
Lindsey liked his sense of humor. She had figured he was quiet from what his on-line
personal ad had said, "I'm quiet and
slightly boring. Could use you to help me with a little fixing up and to get it all
together - help me and I think I might be quite a
catch. We can start out with just a phone call 666-5786- call me!"
Curtis thought of his ad that he put in the Help Wanted, "Wanted - HELP - someone to
help get my office in some kind of order
so I can find myself - call 666-5787."
Lindsey laughed, "Well, I'm very organized so I should be able to get you together in
no time. I don't mean to sound forward
but would you like to meet for coffee? Yours is the first ad that I've answered where I
even liked the person's voice. You sound
nice."
Curtis thought, great! An employee and one that thinks I already sound nice. He would've
just preferred to discuss salary over
the phone but then thought about his friend Roger who always interviewed prospective
employees over a lunch so he said,
"Great, how about lunch or dinner. We can get to know each other and decide if we
want to pursue this further?"
Lindsey thought that sounded fine and safe to see if she really wanted to start dating
him, "Okay, when and where do you think
we should have our first meeting?"
Curtis thought he would like to meet as soon as possible since he wanted his office
cleaned by the weekend when he had a date
coming over. He had been asking Janet out for months and she had finally said yes. He
didn't think she sounded very
enthusiastic about the date but she had said yes and that is what he had wanted so having
a clean apartment was now a must.
He answered, "Well now that I've spoken to you I'd like to meet you as soon as
possible. I'd like to talk today so this weekend
can be a special one. Can you meet me for dinner tonight? Something informal like pizza?
Oh, by the way my name is Curtis. - I
don't even know yours but I know everything is going to work out great."
Lindsey gave him her name and they agreed on a place to meet for pizza both very satisfied
that their first phone call went very
well.
After hanging up from Lindsey, Curtis went to the other phone, "Roger? Hey, thanks
for holding on. I've met the cleaning girl of
my dreams. Everything will be on target for my date with Janet. I'm meeting Lindsey for
dinner and I'll bet she'll be cleaning by
tomorrow."
Lindsey went to the phone and called her girlfriend, "Cory? He sounded so positive
about everything. I mean it was like he
knew everything would work out between us before we even meet. And, he wants to go out to
lunch so this weekend can be a
special one for us. He was so relaxed on the phone it was great. He didn't even mention
about sex or why I answered his
personal ad. He was just glad I called. Well, I have to get going or I won't make it to
the restaurant on time and I think that
would be important to him."
Lindsey raced around her apartment getting ready to meet Curtis. She wore a new light blue
summer dress with thin shoulder
straps and a low scoop neck. The dress landed mid thigh and she slipped her long shapely
legs into a pair of ankle-strap, blue,
spike heel shoes. Brushing her auburn, shoulder-length hair she finally was satisfied with
her appearance. Spraying her favorite
perfume, Musk by Alyssa Ashley over her shoulders she left her apartment to meet her first
on-line date. He had told her to
look for a medium built man wearing a pair of blue jeans, a blue Tee shirt and he would
meet her outside the pizza parlor.
It was a short walk to the restaurant and she spotted him as she was crossing the street.
As she started to walk down the
sidewalk to the restaurant he turned and saw her and walked to meet her. As he walked up
to her she had expected him to say
something about how nice she looked but instead he extended his hand to shake hers and
said, "Hi, I'm Curtis and thanks for
meeting me here." She shook his hand and stammered that she was glad he has asked
her. All she could think of was that he
was the nicest looking man with the nicest smile she had met in a long time. She gazed at
him liking his blue eyes and brown hair.
She smiled up at him and they walked into the restaurant.
The dinner was about everything but the job he wanted to hire her for. They had so many
other things in common that dinner
was over and the waiter had brought the check before he even brought up the subject of
salary and what he wanted her to clean
so he just said, "Look, I know we didn't cover my ad very much. Would you like to
come over to my place? It's just around the
corner and that way we can have a cup of coffee and you can see my place. After you see it
you may change your mind about
the ad."
She had thought that was an odd way to ask someone over but he seemed very shy when it
came to personal things so she just
replied that she'd love to. She had already decided that she wanted him. It wasn't just
that they had a lot in common, it was just
nice not to be pressured during dinner with innuendoes about sex or this coming weekend.
She smiled and answered, "Coffee
sounds great and so far I’m glad I answered the ad." She was actually more than
glad and every time he smiled at her she could
feel her nipples harden as her thoughts went to the fantasy of his lips kissing them. All
she knew at this time was that for once
she wanted a man and she wasn’t going to question why but just hopefully be in his
arms later that night.
At the apartment they sat in the living room and then he said, "Well, do you want to
see my office?"
Lindsey laughed, "Your office? Well, okay."
As they walked into his office he said, "Well you may as well just tell me what a
horrible mess it is. I told you I needed help
getting organized."
Lindsey walked around his office and turned saying, "Well it really just needs some
organizing and filing. Maybe some stacked
bins for your papers and some place to stack all the magazines."
Curtis laughed, "You’re wonderful! That’s just what I need – someone
to just help me get things in order. Maybe we should
talk salary and when you can help me?"
Lindsey smiled, "Oh don’t be silly. I’ll help you and you don’t have
to pay me to do that."
They had walked back into the living room and Curtis was not quite sure what to do. He
really found he liked Lindsey and
would like to date her. But he didn’t think it would be a good idea to date someone
that he wanted to work for him. Sitting next
to her on the couch he was surprised when she moved closer next to him. He automatically
put his arm around her and she
leaned against him snuggling in. His mind was reeling from the feelings that started. All
he wanted at that moment was to tip her
chin up and kiss her. He wanted more. Finally when she snuggled more and looked up at him
he had to do something to bring
reality back and stuttered, "Lindsey, about my ad to work for me, can we forget
it?"
She looked shocked, "What ad to work for you. I answered the one you put in the
personals. She quickly took out her
notepaper and showed it to him"
He looked at the phone number in the ad and realized she dialed the wrong number. All of a
sudden the entire night made sense
to him – it was all a mistake. He groaned, "Oh shit! Oh Lindsey, I’m so
sorry. I mean I’m not sorry I met you but I just figured
it all out. Lindsey, my number is 5787 - your ad is 5786 - you called the wrong
number!"
Lindsey realized what happened but now didn’t care and stammered, "Well, it
doesn’t have to be, does it?"
Curtis looked into her brown eyes seeing the want for him and as his lips came down on
hers he whispered, "Best damn wrong
number I ever had."
Her arms wrapped around him and he felt her pulling him to her. His body was on fire like
it had never felt before. He was rock
hard and needing her. He kissed her deeply and his hands slid over her slender shoulders
to her breasts. When he heard her
sigh in pleasure his hands began to massage her breasts as his kisses got hotter and more
passionate.
In a few moments the blue dress floated gently to the floor followed by panties and more
masculine jeans and tee shirt. His hand
never left her and he hugged her to him kissing her on the neck, whispering, "I know
this isn’t how we were suppose to be but I
don’t care. I want you. Do you want me?"
Lindsey gazed with want and need into his eyes and answered, "From the moment I saw
you in front of the restaurant I knew
this was right."
His mouth kissed its way over her shoulder blade, lower until he was licking her nipples.
He heard her whisper how good it felt
and that it was just like she had imagined his lips would feel. Part of him wanted to ask
when she had imagined it but her nipples
tasted too good and he began to bite lightly and pull on them. As her whispers became a
woman’s whimpers of need his hand
slid lower between her legs. Pushing her thighs wider apart Curtis slid his hand over her
mound…cupping her soft curls. Slowly
his fingers slid between the soft folds of her lips and he found her wet and wanting.
Lower his hand gently slid until his finger slid
within her depths. He heard himself groan in the pleasure of finding her wet and needing
him. She was kissing his ear and her
whimpers were driving his senses crazy. His mouth suckled on her nipples harder and her
hands held his head tighter to them.
His mind was racing to go slower but a passion was ignited between them and they slowly
slid down to the cushions on the
couch. Her thighs parted and he fit his body between them at her entrance. He managed to
ask one more time, "Lindsey are you
sure?"
When her answer was to pull his lips to hers he didn’t wait for another answer.
Gently pushing and thrusting his hips his
hardness slid into the wet folds of her body. Her sigh of pleasure drove him to sink
himself to the hilt into her heat. He felt her
legs wrap around his waist and he began to move back and forth inside her. With each
thrust he wanted to be with her more
and more. As each sigh and whimper from her lips sounded like a melody to him he began to
move faster. He felt her arching
into his thrusts to take all he had to give and more. When she whispered that she wanted
him it was all he could take and with a
groan of need he came hot and hard inside her. He could feel her reach her peak as he was
filling her with his need and her
body clench around him. Together their breathing, whimpers and groans of sated pleasure
filled the quiet apartment. As his
senses returned to his body and his mind cleared of thoughts of need he slid from her
warmth.
Sitting up he pulled her next to him grabbing a blanket and snuggling with her under it.
He finally kissed her on the head and
chuckled as he kiddingly said, "Uh, you’re not going to charge me now for
helping me with my office are you?"
Smiling up at him Lindsey replied, "I don’t know. Exactly how much were you
going to offer to pay me? I didn’t know at the
time I could get paid for doing something I was going to enjoy doing so we may have to
renegotiate?"
He laughed, "Oh fine. When it was the wrong number you were all mine. Now that we
figured out the numbers so to speak you
want me to pay you to help me?"
Lindsey laughed, "Well thinking back how did we ever get the conversations mixed up
so badly?" She suddenly got quiet and
didn’t say anything. Then in a low voice she said, "So this weekend was suppose
to be special for someone else and that’s why
you wanted the apartment to look extra special?"
The phone rang and Curtis answered it thinking he was as the expression says saved by the
bell. It was Janet.
He stuttered into the phone, "Hi, no something came up. I know I’ve been asking
you a long time."
At that moment Lindsey reached for her clothes to get dressed and he blurted out,
"Wait, don’t get dressed yet!"
"Uh, no, I was talking to a friend. Look, I’m sorry – I can’t talk
now. Well, then hell, fine, we can’t talk at all!"
Part of his mind could not believe he just hung up on Janet after trying to get a date
with her for a year but at this moment he
didn’t care about Janet.
Lindsey had one end of her dress in her hand and he had the other. She said, "Curtis,
maybe I had better leave. This really has
been rather odd and I feel pretty foolish thinking about this weekend. Plus you thought I
was really just here to interview to be
the cleaning girl? I think this has been a mistake!"
Curtis smiled and pulled her closer by tugging on her dress answering, "But to quote
someone very wise – it doesn’t have to be.
How about spending a special weekend with me? I’ll even help clean my office if
you’ll direct me?"
Laughing she went into his arms whispering, "And all this from a wrong number."
As his lips came down on hers he repeated, "As I already said, best damn wrong number
I ever had."
