the counter next to the stove.
“Thanks.”
It was somewhat awkward for a few moments. Making my stomach knot up and my throat hurt. I smiled to him and he smiled back. I rolled my head and when I looked back at him, he was walking closer to me. I looked at him with confusion and he stopped. I smiled and he turned away, opened the fridge and grabbed water.
“Can you get me one?” I asked, holding my hand up, ready to catch one.
“Sure thing.” He tossed it to me and shut the fridge.
I took a few sips of it and waited for him to say something. After he said nothing I started to get nervous. Does he want to go? Does he want me to say something to him? I do not know what to do… Then all of a sudden, he was walking toward me with a sparkle in his eyes. My hands were getting sweaty and the knot was getting bigger. I swallowed hard and waited for something to happen. He came up the counter, lightly grabbed my hand and leaned forward. I leaned forward as well and placed my other hand on his shoulder; he placed his hands on my hips and pulled me closer. He kissed me softly at first. Then he kissed me again. And I returned his kiss with another. His lips were so soft, breath like the perfect mix of wintergreen and fruit. My stomach was flipping as we kissed passionately on the counter. We parted and he backed up, staring at me with a mall smile. I smiled back.
He turned and left. I said that I would see him tomorrow and to text me. And he replied with a goodnight and to feel better. Did I just kiss my co-worker?! I asked myself, smiling and sighing with happiness. I leaned back and exclaimed with happiness. I jumped off the counter and danced around the kitchen. Glancing at the clock, I realized it was already quarter after nine. So I decided to go to bed. I ran to my bedroom and smiled when I read the text that I had just received. Yes!
See you tomorrow doll. Thanks for the goodnight kiss.
