We agreed to meet around six at the local bar for a few drinks. The four of us had become really close friends in the past four years. Even though our careers had taken us to different companies, we had always managed to stay in touch with emails every so often. We even met for lunch occasionally. But tonight we all just needed to get out and unwind with a few drinks.
You and I sat next to each other by coincidence, which made me happy. Little did you know I had a slight thing for you, but we were both married and I'm pretty sure there were no reciprocated feelings on your end. The four of us laughed all night and talked about things we had never talked about before, namely sex. We made a lot of confessions.
After a few hours of laughing and carrying on, it was time to head home. Personally I would have rathered stay out all night. Nothing much was happening for me at home and the hubby was out of town. I was hot and bothered by the conversation of the night and could have gone a few more hours. You were completely toasted and I was worried about you getting home. I had parked up on the fourth floor of the parking garage and was a little nervous about going up by myself. Everyone else was parked on the first floor and you had ridden in with someone else. You offered to walk me to my car, if I would give you a lift to your's. I jumped at the opportunity.
After walking or stumbling to the elevator, we got in and pressed the button to go up.
"I had a really good time tonight with everyone but I have to tell you, it's nice to be able to spend some time alone with you tonight even if it's only for a few minutes."
"I know what you mean," you said. "Sometimes when you are in a group of friends you can't say some things that you would tell each other when you are alone."
I totally agreed but didn't really think you meant you wanted to tell me anything. I mean we were just friends with no romantic feelings about each other. At least not you for me.
Then you leaned over to me and kissed me. It was so unexpected I don't think I even kissed back. I just stood there dumbfounded. Am I dreaming or did he just kiss me? Then the buzzer went off and we were on the fourth floor.
