At the start of the year I fell for my coworker. I don’t know what it was, but he had me hooked and I couldn’t wait to spend time with him. We spent every day at work together and texted every night. We’d go for lunch at least once a week. Just us and always his idea. I thought surely he felt the same right? We decided to organise work drinks one night but neither of us invited our other work mates so it ended up just us. As I lived further from work I’d booked a hotel room to stay close as it was the same cost as an Uber. When we realised it was just us, we decided to pre-drink in my room before heading out. We ran out of wine so walked across the road to the bottle shop, stocked up and ordered pizza. I realised we weren’t going anywhere else and that was fine. The night was fun and we watched a movie, played some card games and battled it out for who could drink the most without spewing. It got late and we were both working the next day so he asked if he should head home. I said he could stay if he wanted but he didn’t want to sleep on the uncomfortable couch so I offered the bed and I’d sleep on the couch. He jumped at the opportunity and once in bed yelled out how comfy it was and I should join if I was okay with friends sleeping in the same bed. It didn’t bother me so I changed and jumped in. I faced away from him and he asked if he could spoon me.. I said yes. He wrapped his arms around me and held me close to his body. I could feel him pressing against me, holding me closer than I’ve ever been. After a while he whispered to me, “hey, so I kinda like you a lot” and I replied “I kinda like you too”..
I didn’t expect him to ever feel like this towards me. I was just a coworker after all. I turned over over in bed to see him and he reached his hand towards my face, pulled me close and kissed my lips. I let him then pulled away, confused. He assured me it was only a peck whilst caressing my body, starting around my face, down past my collarbone, breasts, following the curve of my waist and hips before reaching my underwear. He paused, kissed me again and moved his hands between my legs, touching me through my carefully chosen lace underwear, feeling me become wetter as he did. I told him I couldn’t sleep with him that night and he said that was okay. He continued to touch and kiss me and I so wanted to but we worked together, so I just couldn’t yet.
So we held each other. That night we just held each other before he decided he needed to leave and went home to his girlfriend, leaving me behind feeling confused and a bit used. I don’t really know what he wanted that night but I haven’t told anyone and it feels good to finally get it out there. We still work together but we don’t talk anymore. It continued a while and we eventually did sleep together, and it was perfect. Just not perfect enough.

This story was a roller coaster. I’m surprised nothing ever came of your relationship and that y’all still work together.
