I worked with her for years. From the time I met her she was just another woman, nothing stood out about her. In fact she was crude and almost tomboyish in nature. She didn’t give a crap about her job or the people she served, she was just there to make a quick buck. She got promoted not long after we started working together. Life at work started to change. In fact many times we clashed. We fought on many occasions about the stupidest shit. Often to the point that I felt like it was either her or me. I started looking for another job.
Without notice we started to become friends again. Without any formal apologies or anything we were able to work together and became close. We started to share the joys and sorrows that happen throughout life. We complained to each other about our significant others, confided about personal issues, even went shopping together. When I got engaged she was the first person I told. She even helped me pick out the engagement ring. And when she got engaged I was so happy for her. She was slowly becoming my best friend.
I slowly noticed that she started changing. She became more feminine. The crudeness that she was infamous for was still there but it was more refined, almost non-existent unless she was in my company. We were always so comfortable around each other. She cut her hair, started wearing make-up, and showing off that body of hers that I some how failed to notice. She normally wore baggy loose fitting clothes. She wasn’t a size two by any means; she was more of a size six to eight. Her ass wasn’t small, but it wasn’t large, there was no cottage cheese when she wore tight pants. I couldn’t believe it, after all these years I was finding her attractive; I had some strong sexual feelings for her. I didn’t know what to do. I had a wife; she was engaged and had a young child. She consumed my every thought; I couldn’t wait to get to work just to be around her. I started playing out scenarios in my head. Maybe the elevator would get stuck and we would only have each other. Perhaps bad weather would leave us alone together for the night, perhaps maybe we would be sent together on a business trip. I didn’t care what happened, I just wanted her any way that we could.
