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”..
