Episode 5 - The Invisible Girl - Part 5

A soft blush colors her cheeks as she diverts her eyes. "yes, much better." She can feel her heart pounding in her chest. She stands there simply holding his hand.

A few moments go by, and Eli breaks the silence as the cart worker is calling at her. "I think its your turn in line ma'am" his southern drawl comes out.

Amy quickly regains herself and turns around pulling her hand away. "Can I at least buy you lunch as an apology from earlier?" she asks turning to the cart attendant.

Eli chuckles at her and smiles "I would like that, what are ya havin?"

Amy suddenly realizes she is a little short on funds and gulps quickly looking over the menu. She then asks the attendant "Two footlongs please! load them up"

The cart attendant pulls the hot door open, reaching in with a pair of Thongs, he grabs two large foil wrapped dogs. Pulling them open he holds them both in one large hand, while layering toppings on with the other two.

After finishing he held out the two dogs "9.50" he says short and mater of fact. Amy pulls her last $10 bill from her purse and buys the food. She walks away from the cart with Eli in tow standing next to a potted tree in the side walk. She turns and tryies to hand one to Eli.

Still not being use to heels, she stumbles as her ankle turns and falls forward.

Strong hands catch her before she stumbles fully, and that strong southern voice rings in her ear "While I dont mind you fallin for me, this is becoming an odd habit"

Amy blushes hotly and quickly stands up holding out the hotdog with her hand while turning her head away. Her hand instead of stopping in the air, seems to push against something instead. She turns to look to see the hotdog smushed firmly across Elis face, covering it in mustard, relish, onions, ketchup, and sourkrout.

Amy pales instantly and pulls her hand away "OH god I am SOOOOoooo Sorry..." she says looking around for some napkins.

Eli's response however is not what she was expecting. Instead of anger, agitation, or any of those negative emotions, he simply starts laughing. And not like a soft chuckle, but belly splitting, loud, jovial laughter.

Amy stands there stunned.

Eli then takes the hotdog from her, and begins eating it with a face covered in its toppings. After a couple of bites he simply says "mama always told me not to waste the good intentions of a pretty lady" and then goes right back to eating.

Amy stops, staring for a moment a hot blush covering her cheeks. She quickly begins to eat. After she gets a few bites in, her alarm on her phone goes off.

Amy curses again, her lunch break was over and she wasnt even inside at her desk. "Crap, I have to go, It was really wonderful meeting you again Eli...." she says wishing she had a few more moments.

She turns again tossing the rest of her dog in the trash and running into the building.

Eli just stands there, mouth full of hot dog, and face covered in its toppings. He didnt even get a chance to ask for her number.

While Amy was rushing back to her desk, all she could think about was how much of a klutz she is, and how she probably ruined her chances with the only hot man who ever even gave her the time of day.

Finally getting back to her desk she stops when she pulls out her chair. "Did he say I was pretty?" just standing there while thinking this.

Eli was thinking something quite the opposite after she left.

A man in a black and white suit walked up to him offering him a white towel. He took it and wiped his face clean after finishing the hotdog. He then handed it back to the man in the suit who took it and simply deposited it into the trash can before saying "Sir, the board meeting will be starting soon. Please do not make them wait again."

Eli turned to him and said "Jeffrey, dont get your panties in a bunch. Those old geezers wont die that fast, and it isnt every day you find something special..." He says turning back to look at the doors Amy had gone into, and then up to the top floor. "Amy hmmm?" He said noting to himself before he walked into the same lobby.

Jeffrey came up behind him holding a leather sport coat. "Sir, Your jacket"

Eli took the jacket after slapping the up arrow on the elevator pad. The doors quickly dinged and they both walked inside. Eli pulled the jacket onto his body, and then slapped the top floor button. "I guess lets not keep those old fogies waiting any longer..."

The elevator doors then closed.

The rest of the day went by in a blur for Amy. Before she even realized it, her stupor took her all the way home to her apartment.

Sitting on her bed at hole she grips her pillow to her chest tightly.

"Ohmygod Ohmygod Ohmygod!!! He thinks I am pretty!!!!" She squeals like a young teen tossing herself back on her bed and kicking her legs into the air.

"He actually thinks I am prettty!!!"

She tossed and rolled around on her bed giddy with excitement.

It took her forever to finally fall asleep.

She was tossing and turning. Hardly able to sleep properly because of her excitement.

She didn't know why but she felt she would see him again tomorrow.

The next working Amy crawled from her bed. She got ready in the second outfit just as the instructions said.

She also made sure not to forget anything and checked herself in the mirror.

Once again she smiled.

She did indeed look hot.

She left her apartment and went to the subway.

Applying her perfume she waiting.

She got on the train and she waited.

She got off the train and she waited.

Her head looking around periodically.

She did not however see Eli.
