Krys was very nervous. Amanda was letting her help set the hem and inseam which meant working with pins and the clothes on his body. And he was fidgeting. She knew for sure she was going to prick him soon if he didnt stand still and if she did she would be totally mortified.
She was on her knees, mouthful of pins so she could not even tell him to hold still, not that he would anyway. Amanda had warned her he was like this. She stole a glance up at him and saw him grinning down at her. Unable to say anything she just rolled her eyes in frustration and and focused herself on pinning the inseam without hurting him or the family jewels.
Jon stood there and tried to stay still but he just couldn't. Amanda was always on him about it but he really hated these fittings. He would just rather throw on a pair of broke in jeans or a nice pair of sweats and be done with it. He glanced down at Krys and saw the utter frustration on her face and the look she gave him was so cute he couldnt help but grin which made her roll her eyes before returning to her work. He chuckled inwardly and took the time to really look at her. He had nothing else to do at the moment and maybe checking her out would make him stand a bit more still.
She wasn't a bad looking girl at all. Actually the more he looked at her the more he noticed she was quite pretty. He took his time looking her over starting at the top of her head. She had a strange mix of auburn and brown hair yet towards the ends it faded to an almost honey blonde color. And it shined like glass. She wore no hair products, at least it didnt seem like it it hung in a perfectly straight thick curtain all the way to her waist..... a very tiny waist he noticed. She was petite, but from what he could see anything but a stick. She had curves and they seemed to be in all the right places he grinned to himself as his eyes moved over her.. just enough here... just enough there..... oh... yes.. plenty there too.....
Krystal glanced back up, suprised that he had actually stood still for the last few minute and when she saw him looking down ather with what appeared to be a bit of a saucy look and saw his eyes roaming in a very unprofessional way her breath caught in her throat and she felt her pulse speed up. What was he doing? why was he looking at her like that?
He felt her gaze quetioning him and knew he'd been caught.. he slowly let his eyes come to rest on her upturned face taking in the confusion in her deep blue eyes and the almost incredulous expression on her face. He didn't know what else to do besides flash her a bit of a saucy grin and say " sorry...but... I am a man and... your shirt......" he motioned with one hand to the plunging V of her tight fitting t-shirt then just shrugged.
Krystal glanced down at her shirt and realized he had a perfect view straight down it and blushed a deep red but couldn't reply for the pins in her mouth still so just gave him and exasperated look not sure if she should be flattered or insulted. But she couldn't keep a bit of a smug look from crossing her features once she saw in his eyes that he really was enjoying what he was seeing.
Jon saw her look of exasperation change to one of what he thought was a bit of satisfaction and just bit his lip as he kept eye contact with her.
Amanda watched the silent conversation going on between Krystal and Jon and just sighed to herself. She knew Krys liked Jon, liked him more than an employee should like her boss, but she also knew that until now she had not let on one bit. The looks passing between her boss and her understudy were at that moment anything but professional and she wasn't sure it was exactly a good thing. She liked Jon she really did but he just wasn't the kinda of guy a sweet girl like Krys should even think about enticing. Krys was so unlike the girls that these men were use to. Krys was polite and a bit reserved. She wasn't exactly shy but wasn't really outgoing either. Amanda got the feeling from thier talks over the last month or so that she had been brought up a bit sheltered. Not to say she was innocent because she knew from those same talks that she was not. but she was naive. She'd had only 2 boyfriends in her life and slept with only one thinking they would be married, but Krys told her that it had all been a lie and after a few months of an intimate relationship the man had just up and left. No explanation, no goodbye just gone. Amanda knew it had hurt Krys deeply because the girl had gotten teary eyed talking about. she hadn't cried but Amanda knew she was close. Krys had had her trust shattered and a rockstar... one known for his playboy ways was certainly not the right guy for such a fragile girl to even fantsize about. She had to do something, they had been just looking back and forth not saying anything for at least 5 minutes now and the looks Jon was giving were a bit more heated than amanda was confortable with.
"Hey you two gonna stay there and just stare at each other the rest of the day or we gonna get this outfit done?" She finally said in a casual tone as she sat there threading her sewing machine.
Her voice broke the spell that had somehow come over them and Krys stood up quickly and walked over towards Amanda her head down as she tried to gather her racing thoughts. His look had been teasing at first but then slowly it had changed from teasing to heated.. a look she hadn't seen in a mans eyes in over a year... every since Jason... she shook her head not wanting to think about him. It didn't matter what those looks meant that passed between her and Jon, she had written men off, all men.. you couldn't trust them. She knew what men wanted and she just wasn't up for casual relationships she wasn't brought up like that and she had tried it and all it brought her was heart ache. no matter how much she was intrigued by her boss, no matter how much he mde her laugh, no matter how kindly he treated her she had to keep reminding herself he was a man, and probably more dangerous than the rest given his lifestyle, and besides that her boss so definetly off limits.
Jon saw the change in Krys and wondered how those heated looks they had exchanged had turned so fast to coldness on her part. he thought perhaps he had offended her. he hadn't meant to he didn't know what had come over him. he had only been teasing at first but somehow a spell had woven around them and his mind started thinking he wasn't really teasing anymore she had been looking at him the way a woman looks at a man she wants and his mind and body had rsponded faster than he thought possible and he wondered if might have actually propositioned her if Amanda hdn't spoken up when she did. Ah well he sighed to himself as he made his way back into the dressing room to change out of the pinned outfit so the girls could finish it. It's probably for the best she spoke up when she did, I have no business making a pass at one of my employees.... even if she is unbelievably........gorgeous
