This is a true story. I changed the names of all and many details to further disguise the identities of those in this story. The dialogues are to the best of my memory. It has been more than 30 years since this happened so I hope you will cut me some slack.
Warning! There is no sex in this post. I am just going to introduce you to Jessie, the primary character in this post, and describe how she and I got to the cusp of our affair.
Jessie was a supervisor in another work group. She had been my direct supervisor for six months but had moved to lead another related team prior to the events in this post.
She was 38, 5 feet tall, about 140 pounds. She was chubby with an slightly above average face, big boobs with beautiful copper colored hair that always looked perfect. Jessie was outgoing with a bubbly personality, always smiling and cheerful. Her work area had many pictures of her, her husband Charlie and her two girls. Everyone loved Jessie.
Me? I was 40, single but dating several women at the time.
