Laptop legacy

Theresa and I went shopping for a laptop. She is a computer genius and whiz, the things she can do on a computer I don't even think they have invented yet. First we met at a popular chain store that doesn't open until 10:00 (you know who you are). Damn computer geeks sleep in. We looked there, didn't really find anything interesting but we did find a laptop that would do. Of course, they didn't have it in stock.

We went across the way to a popular chain department store that is open 24 hours. Our true intentions were to find a laptop but you know what they say, even the best intentions can lead you astray. We found something even more interesting than any laptop they make. As we looked, grouped, and slid our hand across many shiny new laptop computers we found one that would be just right. We turned to look for an assistant to help us purchase the computer. A small group of people were standing at the electronics desk in casual or civilian clothes. One remarkable handsome man with short salt and pepper hair, tall, clean cut, and wearing a black leather Harley jacket began walking toward us. In my mind, I completely forgot about the computer was instantly transformed into a twenty-something year old.

"Can I help you? I work here." he said as he flashed is name tag from an unidentified pocket. Theresa and I just looked at each other as if we hit the mother load, or should I say the father load. "Yes", I said as I tilted my head to the side, "I am interested in purchasing this laptop right here." Then my hand glided over the computer once again. He turned around and as that action occurred, Theresa and I rubber necked to see the view from the back. Wow, he had a great ass! We just smiled at each other knowing both of us were thinking the same thing. As he walked a way in his Black leather Harley jacket, nice fitting jeans, and black boots, my spine jumped out of my body and I practically slid to the floor. Theresa said, "There you go." I replied with a big smile, "Yeah, so who is going to ask if he is single?"

When he arrived back to where we were standing with our heads in the clouds and our minds in the gutter, he continued to help us with the computer. I knew I had a small but distinct window of opportunity here. "So, are you from here?", I asked realizing, what a complete original line. I wasn't thinking clearly, he also had gorgeous eyes and a great smile. "I actually live in town. I used to travel a lot with my job but now I don't have to travel any more." he replied ever so politely. Trying to see if he had an other half, family, kids, (he didn't have a wedding ring on), I asked, "What are you going to do with all of that free time?" I asked. Expecting him to say spending it with kids, etc. He smiled and with a small chuckle said, "Find a second job to pay for my second Harley I just bought." I turned to Theresa, "Second Harley? That means he is single because if he was married, a wife wouldn't let him buy a second Harley."

"If you are buying a second Harley, you must be single?" I boldly asked him with an inquisitive smile on my face. "Actually..." he began, "I am engaged. I am getting married in a few months." "Congratulations." I said. "Oh damn it!" is what I was thinking.

I looked at Theresa who now also had a disappointed look on her face, disappointed for me that is and I said quietly, "You know after he gets married, that second Harley is going." We giggled, "Yeah, " she said, "That is why he is getting it now before he gets married."

He helped us get the laptop and we thanked him for his help. The laptop that we were so excited about getting now seemed like a consolation prize. As we were leaving the store we continued talking and smiling. Theresa began to say something, "Maybe we'll see him..." something, something, I couldn't understand the rest of the sentence because I began laughing. She looked at me wondering what was so funny. I said to her, "You said semen!" we both laughed then it was time for me to return back to my true age. I told her, "You know, he could have sold me anything." we both just smiled.
