Bob had always worked downtown, he loved narrow and crowded streets of Wall Street. Loved to grab a kinish or a hot dog from a vendor as he rushed down bustling streets, reading latest financial news while speeding down street.

A break from hectic work day was a fresh ocean breeze at downtown Sea Port. Boarding a boat there for dinner with Calypso music playing was an enjoyable after work experience. You could throw off your tie and have a good drink with dinner and talk about everything and anything.

Wall Streeters are perhaps most democratic of topic talkers in all of New York City, and yes, noise, everyone is always talking loud and everyone is always opinionated, but it a nice sort of way, and laughs are always rolling.

But uptown is a whole different world, its quite jogs in and around Central Park and reflective tranquilty at Boat House. A thrill packed day for uptowners is a romp through European Art Galleries at Met.

But for Bob, all around downtown guy, life would take a strange turn. He left downtown, and took a job uptown. And he would meet his uptown girl in a very unusual way.

He was fairly new to his uptown job, and he was still trying to acclimate to his new surroundings. Bob had to see one of woman he worked with about a project, he was working on. He headed toward where she was, and when he got into vision of her, just then, she put her leg up on a chair to tie her sneaker.

Bob knew she always switched to sneakers at a certain time of day to go jogging. She was really into fitness. But as she lifted her leg on to chair to tie her sneaker, her skirt rode up her leg, revealing most beautiful thigh.

It was toned and solid from all jogging. He kept coming toward her, just about hypnotised by vision of her ravaneous beauty, and then crash. He was so busy looking at Monica that he hadn't noticed that there was an obstruction on his path to her.

He tripped over objects, that he would have normally noticed, and before he knew it, he was laying on floor with a slight trickle of blood flowing from his chest and a small blood stain showing on his shirt. Monica ran over to help him and said, let me get something to stop that bleeding.

To his surprise, she pulled a first aid kit out of her office.

She said, “don't move, you may have hurt your back.”

Then she unbottoned his shirt and applied gauze to stop bleeding.

He said, “I think I'm okay, just a few scratches.”

Then Bob got up and said, “see I'm fine, but thanks.“

Then she said, “wait, let me put some disinfectant on that cut. This is going to sting.”

She rubed disinfectant all over cut, but rather then feeling a sting, all Bob could feel was her gentle caressing touch.

Bob knew that he should have been in pain, but he was so turned on by her. All he could think of was, "wow, she's dynamite."

The next day, he took Monica to lunch to repay her for her medicinal treatment, and they both really seemed to click.

At first Bob felt a natural and normal lust for such a beautiful and sexy woman that Monica was. But as he got to know her better, he felt an unusual comfort with her. He was more relaxed with her than any other woman he had ever known.

His feelings of lust were quickly being replaced by genuine feelings of affection. He felt something very different with her compared to other woman. He couldn't even quite understand it himself. But he knew she made him laugh and he truely enjoyed her company.

She was different than any downtown girl that Bob had ever known. Bob liked her a lot, but had thought that she was out of his reach. He thought he just didn't have kind of sophistication that she would expect from a guy. But after that chance meeting Bob was now more determined than ever.

He knew he was up against it, but she was too wonderful to pass up. And Bob wasn't a quiter. When he made up his mind about something, he went for it. In College, Bob had always been at top of his class. Things didn't always come easy for him, but he had an incredible determination. He pined for her and he decided that he would do his darndest to win her over.

Bob thought, "well for her, I can make a few adjustments."

Bob started to date her and went to a few places with her that he would never normaly go. Broadway plays, Opera's, Night Clubs, all places that never entered Bob's mind. He was an avid sports fan and pre Monica, it was hockey and basketball, but he went where she wanted because he just wanted to be with her, and now place was secondary in his mind, and she was foremost in his mind.
