Co-worker
I know I'm married. And I do love my wife. But after all these years spent with her, it's normal to fantasize about others. Right? Either way, I don't do it often about people I see in real life, I keep it mostly online. In this day and age, you cannot avoid that. But there is one woman who fell through the cracks. She's everything that a men could want, elegant, funny, smart, and as sexy as they come.
We noticed each other straight away. I could tell that she was attracted to me as well, I could always pick up on these things. But there was an obvious issue. I am married and she's engaged. Neither of us want to destroy what we have with our partners, so we obviously didn't do anything about it.
It would have been hard enough, not to think about her at work normally, but then something happened that was a great blessing and curse at the same time. Our office got re-organized, and our desks just happened to end up next to each other. As I said she's smart and funny so usually she'd be the perfect neighbor, but if I'm honest, ever since we sat next to each other, our productivity plummeted.
We spend every day just talking and talking, at this point I might know more about her life than my wife's. We talk about our relationships and as we got closer and closer, we shared more and more intimate details of our home lives. She knew what I found sexy about my wife; I knew what she liked about her husband. I told her that my wife has this amazing pair of boots that almost reach up to her knees and really accentuate the shape of her feet, and the very next day, guess what, she shows up in boots. But not in any kind. Somehow, she found the same pair and she, unbelievably, looks better in them than my wife. My jaw must have visibly dropped, because when she saw me, she started giggling like a schoolgirl. I couldn't get much work done that day, if my boss caught me... It's not even worth thinking about. That night when I laid in bed next to my lovely wife, I could only think of 2 things. Her, sitting next to her desk in those boots. And whatever she told me about her fiancΓ© a while back. I wanted to return the favor. And then I remembered. She told me she prefers a clean-shaven look. It should have been a harder decision. Really. My wife loved my stubble. But that morning somehow that wasn't a consideration. I shaved.
It was her time to be stunned. And stunned she was. At first, she almost didn't recognize me. But when she did. My oh my.
- Brad?
- Lauren?
- My god you shaved! How come?
- I just felt like it. You like it?
- OBVIOUSLY. I've been telling you for ages. How did your wife like it?
- She hasn't seen it yet. For that matter, you are the first to notice.
- Well, I like it. Can I? - she reached for my face with her hands.
I slightly nodded my head, and she caressed my freshly shaven face. This was basically the most intimate moment we shared thus far. It felt nice. It felt wrong. Yet it was so right.
- Now really, why did you shave it?
- No reason. I told you, just felt like it.
