Summer Romance (Part 3)

The match between Argentina and Nigeria on that occasion however was not overly interesting or even exciting. As Argentina scored a goal relatively early in the match thanks to their veteran defender Heinze and held on to win by a score of 1-0 in what really was a lack luster performance from both teams. The highlight of the match coming when Argentina scored their only goal with both Joanna and Juan jumping out of their seats in a celebration which inspired Juan (always with his trusty Minolta at his side) to catch Joanna as she celebrated Argentina's goal. This causing Joanna to feel slightly embarrassed as she in all truth, did not like having her photograph taken; given she never felt her best side was the one which was portrayed in any of her photos. Juan however offered to delete the photo from his camera if she but requested that he do so. This being that which Joanna asked him not to do as she liked the form which her emotions had been captured by Juan's camera.

The match ended with a small but significant Argentine victory which saw Juan take joy in though it was clear that he was disappointed that his team had not won by as wide a margin as he would have wanted them to. Joanna however was glad Argentina had won as Juan would probably be in a cheerier mood to deal with her agency's clients yet she wished to cheer him up over their not having won by as many goals as he had hopped for as well as get some fun for herself. This prompting Joanna to ask "Juan, can I try on your Argentina shirt and maybe if you want you can take a photo of me and send it to my email later?" with glee as Juan turned off the television now that the match was over.

Juan had not expected such a request and it was clear from the expression on his face that he had not yet as he considered it; it seemed like a good idea. "Sure, I can do that if you want me to take photos of you in my Argentine shirt but let me go to the toilet and change in to another shirt" Juan said as he thought over how to best go about giving her his shirt without having to take off his shirt, not so much in front of her but in the office where he could be seen by a client who might come in just then and get the wrong idea. Joanna was not sure of what Juan wanted yet imagined that he probably did not want to take of his shirt in front of her. As he was probably not wearing anything else underneath. This creating a light smile from Joanna which Juan did not see as he went in to the bag he brought to work in order to look for the shirt he intended to put on in the toilet.

Joanna felt good about having her photo taken so nicely and their was something about Juan's work as a photographer which she enjoyed as she had seen a lot of his work in the magazines he had shown her. It did not take long for Juan to find the shirt he had planned to wear after the football game and to the bar where he would share a drink with his friends in order to celebrate Argentina having won their first match in the world cup. Joanna noticed a certain child like enthusiasm in Juan as he went to change shirts while she went about making coffee for both herself and Juan; whom she knew would want a cup to give him energy to finish off the day though she in all truth knew he did prefer the "yerba mate" which he often brought to work.

Joanna was cheerful, as she went about making coffee. She after all had a successful business with capable people to run it and everything was going well or at least considering the economic crises which was all around. Joanna used the electric kettle to make the coffee which they always took instant and as she started, she observed Juan get out a blue dress shirt from his bag which he took to the toilet. It being there where he would change yet in all truth Joanna more than observed Juan for she was truly and completely attracted to him. This being to the point that she considered everything about him to be beautiful from his hair to his face and body yet this went beyond what was physical as far as she was concerned. Juan, in fact had all the attributes she had grown to admire including his enormous passion and enthusiasm for life which she had never really had and only now could see how it was that one could benefit just from the way in which one looked at things. Juan's qualities which she never failed to notice also including a sense of humor as well as intelligence and an ability to always find a solution to most of life's problems that so often seemed to overwhelm others.

Joanna to a large extent was in love with Juan though this she would never admit to herself, much less to Juan though the reality was his presence in her life went far beyond his being just a man who worked for her. As he even made love to her in her dreams as well as occupying her in most of hers thoughts which led to her constantly thinking of what he was doing or where he was. Juan was special and though he scarcely noticed just how much and in what sense, he did hold Joanna in esteem and considered her to be a woman of beauty though he did not see her as being overly beautiful. It being a case that he had already seen as well as photographed so many a lovely woman to fill his taste that one more attractive woman regardless of how beautiful she was, was just another pretty face.

Juan could see Joanna making coffee as he went in to the toilet to not only change his shirt but relieve himself. As the fact was that he had not done so since the start of the football game which had been two hours ago. This making it more urgent for Juan to do so since he had drunk a whole two litters of ice tea during the game as the day had been of the kind that required one to replenish one's fluids with more regularity than usual. Juan, for his part always appreciated Joanna and all the small things she did for him that included making coffee for him whenever she made it for herself or even allowing him to leave a bit earlier whenever he had an appointment with a lady or his friends.

Juan changed his shirt and as he did so, he looked at his Argentine football jersey which he had not gotten as sweaty as he might have had he been playing football but still had perspired somewhat since he had put it on in the morning. It was not the sweat which disturbed him as it could be washed and dried for Argentina's next match yet the fact that he was going to give it to his boss to put on who was a lady and might find it most disagreeable to wear something which did not have a pleasant smell about it. Joanna, apparently being a lady who took great care not only to dress well but smell nice. As it was her perfumes which he always appreciated having in the office.

Juan looked at his football jersey after having taken it off and put on the shirt he was going to wear for the rest of the day and wondered if perhaps he should not wash it before he gave it to Joanna to try on for a photo. Juan however thought that perhaps it would not matter since she was only going to wear it for a few seconds for some snap shots; probably for advertisement purposes and she would be doing so on top of her dress anyway. Juan however felt it only right that he tell her that the shirt was not all together clean so she might decide for herself and after all; he had already said he would take her photo in it.

Juan however considered other matters as he changed his shirt and combed his hair, for this was a day on which Argentina had won and in the mist of it all; ever present was how his beloved Argentina had done on this day and how they would do against their next rival; who would be South Korea. Juan also entertaining thoughts on how he and his friends would have a drink to celebrate the victory though on this hot day the thought of taking the train back to Manhattan tired him, specially since it more than like would be crowded.

Juan for the most part liked living in New York and enjoyed the job he had in New Jersey yet if there was a draw back to it. It was that he was forced to commute every day from Manhattan to New Jersey though this in and of itself did not represent a problem. Specially since he did not live far from the path train which he had to take to get across the Hudson river though it was once in New Jersey that he was forced to take a bus to the small town where his place of employment was located.

Juan had put on his shirt, washed up a little before doing so and naturally had brushed his teeth along with having applied some eau de toilet; as it was to met his friends as well as to impress Joanna that he had in a slight way fixed himself up. Juan looked at himself in the mirror and was content with the way he looked as he considered it nice to have the sort of look which pleased him to the point that he would not change it or at least not further than he already had. It being the case that he had had plastic surgery on his nose which had in many ways increased the satisfaction he took in his personal appearance to the point that he could look at any man and feel that he had nothing to envy anybody regardless of how handsome he was or might be considered.

Juan was ready to join Joanna as they got ready for their coffee break which they always took in the afternoon though at different times as their work did not always permit them to do so at the same hour every day. On this occasion however given that the football match was over and it was 16:00 hours, Joanna decided that perhaps a spot of coffee along with some of the cookies and other such sweets which they had would do everybody some good in the heat of day which still had not subsided. This seeming almost unbelievable to Joanna how it could be so hot and humid in her office despite her having had the air conditioner on since she opened at 8 am yet such were the conditions she and her employees would have to put up with or at least till fall's cool air canceled out summer's heat. Joanna on that particular day made two cups of coffee as she was not really sure when Bianca would be back though she was certain it would be soon. As Bianca had gone for her lunch break which was but an hour and it was about time that she got back.

Joanna had bought a pack of chocolate chip cookies that very day for the occasion which she was almost sure would be a victory by Argentina. It being in the spirit of celebrating Argentina's win that she had done so. Joanna knowing full well that Juan enjoyed this kind of cookie the most as on many an occasion she had seen him bringing them in to the office and sharing them with not only herself and Bianca but some of her clients; who just happen to be around as he opened his pack.

Joanna, for the most part fancied summers in New Jersey as she and her husband enjoyed going to the near by beaches on weekends and it was as her mind drifted to such thoughts that Juan came out of the toilet already changed in to the dark blue shirt which she felt contrasted his skin tone so nicely as to make it hard to take her eyes of him. Joanna could even smell the fragrance he was now wearing and was truly charmed by his presence though this she did her utmost not to let on as she placed the chocolate chip cookies on a plate on her desk for Juan to take some if he so chose to do so along with the cup of coffee she had made for him. It being with milk and without sugar that Juan drank coffee.

Juan upon reentering the office saw how Joanna had served his cup of coffee along with his favorite that it made him smile as he looked at Joanna, who sat in her desk perhaps waiting for her to join her in a cup of coffee or perhaps just wanted her own coffee to cool yet he could tell she was just glad that he was working with her. Juan who tended to smile more often than most men did so again as his eyes meet Joanna's and then traveled to the cookies he liked which he could tell had been specially bought for him by Joanna. Juan was about to say thank you yet was prevented from doing so by Joanna, who spoke out "Oh, I see you take off the shirt for me. I hope you let me try it on and take my photo. I want to show it to my husband. I think he will like it!" with enthusiasm to prevent Juan from expressing his gratitude. Juan was not opposed to Joanna trying on his shirt yet felt that perhaps its not being washed would dissuade yet it was as he was about to mention this that a client entered the agency whom he would have to take care.

The client was an American whom Joanna knew well and who, in fact had been buying tickets from her; for as long as she had been in business. Juan naturally seeing a client whom he was sure was going to buy a ticket as opposed to many who simply entered to ask questions, refrained from telling Joanna about his shirt not being clean. As this was the last thing he wished to mention in front of a client. Joanna seeing one of her best clients had arrived simply said "Hello, sir please take a seat and my assistant will be with you shortly." to her client who responded with a polite though not warm "good afternoon". Joanna seeing the gentleman who had just taken a seat looked at Juan and simply said with a smile "give me the shirt and I will put it and please take care of this gentleman while I see how it looks.".

Juan had hoped to mention the factor of the shirt's not being clean yet had not been given a chance and with Joanna holding out her hand to receive what he had said would be ok he simply handed it over as he went over to where she stood with a look of worry in his eyes which Joanna detected but did not mention. This given how there was a client who was waiting to be taken care of yet she would ask after when they would be alone to talk. Juan gave her the shirt as he said he would after which he took his cup of coffee from the table where he had placed it before going back to his own desk to take care of the client's need which he was sure would include purchasing several tickets for his large family.

Joanna seeing Juan go over to their client and with the full confidence he gave of his competence, went over to her office to put on this shirt she so much wanted to be photographed in. As her wishes were to be seen in this shirt by not only her husband but by her relatives back in Poland whom she would send the photo to via email. For Joanna, it was not that she could not have simply put on this shirt over what she was wearing in the main office yet felt that perhaps this would be badly seen by her client which prompted her to go over to her own private office; where she would feel more at ease.

Joanna walked over to her office and as she did so, did not even notice the smell of the shirt perhaps because of her own fragrance which given all that she had perspired was not all that much nicer. Joanna, in all truth felt good about having Juan work with her as he was the sort of employee she had always wished to have. As he was not only reliable but had a way with clients which she had always treasured. It being with desires to see him deal with the man who was in her agency at the moment that she quickly put on the jersey of the Argentine football team which in a way made her feel a strange sort of energy. As if she were about to play football herself or perhaps perform some of sort of sport.

Joanna stepped back in to the room and as she did so, her entrance went unnoticed by both Juan and her customer yet as she stood in the back of the room looking at Juan; she saw that which she had always admired about him. The way he could deal with clients in a way that was both friendly as well as efficient. It being as if he could employ formality yet not in a tone which might not allow the customer to say what was on his or her mind. Juan being one, who always gave the impression that he and what ever client he might have in front of him; had known each other for many years. As such was his way that could make almost any client feel completely at ease while providing them with the security that they were being taken care of by a man who knew his trade very well.

It however did not take long for Juan to spot Joanna wearing his shirt over her dress which made him smile out of the corner of his mouth as Joanna, who was standing to the side of him; caught sight. Joanna smiled to herself seeing how Juan had looked at her though pretended not to as he in fact was occupied with a client. As for her client, he in all truth had not taken note of her, not that she minded yet she could see that Juan had been delighted at the sight of her in his football shirt which though unknown to Joanna had reminded him of a special occasion. It being when his last girlfriend had spent a night at his apartment and the following morning had worn this very shirt in order to make her way from his bedroom to the bathroom and not be seen in the nude by his parents. Joanna appearing as if she were wearing a night gown which made him smile to himself as he saw her though did not allow it to distract him from serving the client in front of him in the same competent fashion he always did.

Joanna, for what concerned her took a seat at the only table in the room, where she had set the cookies and simply took one as she seated herself and waited for Juan to get through with the man; who had come in to purchase the tickets he had already phoned about. Joanna enjoyed her cookie as she had not eaten much on that hot day which had made her loose her much of her appetite though it was always for such things that she had found sufficient hunger for. Juan observed her as she sat on her chair while he ate her cookies with her legs one on top of the other in a way that made her most desirable and tender as he gazed upon her though his attention was not fully taken away from the business of the ticket he had to arrange for the client in front of him. Joanna felt his eyes as if she could tell what part of the legs she knew to be to his taste he was examining. It even seeming to her that his was a stare which could go under he dress at any moment and give rise to her feminine moisture.

It did not take long for Juan to deliver the client all that he would need to make the journey he was planning and as he looked at Joanna, he could tell that she had something to say about the way she looked which he was sure would be in reference to this shirt's being so long and how its not being tucked in; gave the appearance of one who was wearing a night gown. Joanna had enjoyed Juan's performance with her client who despite his hard exterior appeared to be content. This making Joanna stand up and say "I am glad I have you to take care of clients like that but tell me what do you think? How does it look?" with a look of joy about her. Joanna seeking approval which in fact was more important than she let on.

Juan looked at Joanna as she posed for him not wishing to say that which implied how desirable he saw her and simply said that which might be its complete opposite by claiming "You look like you could play for Argentina in their next match.". Joanna felt glad as she really could see his eyes say other feelings while he looked at her yet felt that they should get back to work as she followed up with "I am glad you like but could you take the photo so I can take it off and get back to work". Juan also seeing the need to get back to work simply said "sure" with a smile as he took his camera out of the bag in which he always carried it in. It being under his desk where he kept this bag which contained all the things he had brought to work on that day.
