So this story happened awhile ago, right around the 4th of July, and I figure now is as good a time as any to share.
I had been working with Aubrey for a couple of months. I was 21 and she was 18, we had both gone to the same high school but had never really crossed paths, and it wasn’t until she got a job her senior year that we ended up at the same grocery store working together. I was lucky, I worked with a lot of knock-outs. But I was always in some sort of long term relationship so when I was inevitably put into a friend zone of sort by the girls I was always ok with it. Aubrey was a little different. She was a single redhead, five foot ten, who played volleyball and basketball, with an athletic, toned body that to this day was one of the most pleasing to set eyes on. Our work uniform was modest, but under her t-shirt you could tell she loved to stay in shape, and her jeans always were the talk of the guys at work.
