My colleague and I have a lot of history together. In the (somewhat) short timeframe of four years that we’ve worked together, we’ve done… a lot. We’ve certainly shared more than a few lunches together, that’s for sure. And as you’re reading that, I know that you know that means more than just “lunch”. Don’t worry, I know what sub I’m in.
I actually started writing this story with all the extra added context but realised I was getting carried away and into a much more detailed story. Another time perhaps? There’s certainly a lot of background to detail here but in this instance I kind of just wanted to get this experience written down and out there, because it was incredibly hot.
What I will say is that Ella and myself have *history*. We started out working together and not really getting along. Our relationship developed from this, through to a bit friendly, to a bit flirtatious to crossing a line…. to fucking on multiple desks in the office afterhours. Down the line, things got messy and we didn’t talk to each other for years. Until around November. For now, let’s just say I was the villain in our story and I didn’t think we’d actually see each other again, despite the fact we still both work at the same company. We were doing a great job of avoiding each other.
