It had been over two weeks since I sat beside Clay feeling the heat of his leg against mine. I knew I would see him today. He was in my head as soon as I woke up. The anticipation of seeing his smile stayed with me all through rush hour. By the time he came into the office, my heart was pounding. I heard his voice before I saw him. A chorus of hellos echoed through me as he made his way down the hall.
Our eyes met as he came into the room. I couldn’t help but smile. I wanted him to choose the empty seat beside me, willed him to sit close. When he took a seat down the table, the disappointment was overwhelming. As everyone took their seats, I felt my phone buzz against my leg.
A flirty message. I fired back and waited. Clay sent back a dirty response. With butterflies dancing through me, I took a chance. I sent back an honest message….all these dirty texts are making me horny. The time it took him to read the message seemed like an eternity. I saw him see it and put the phone back down. Shit! Maybe it was too far. I could not tell you a word that was said in the meeting. I was hyper focused on the phone in his lap. Finally he started to type back.
