We both started the new job on the same day. Working the IT help desk for a large public company, we were surrounded by typical help desk personnel. Most nice, but none really nice to look at. Except her. I’ll call her “E”. E was 30, and gorgeous. The office girl everyone looked at when she walked by. Always classy, but with a party/fun attitude. Her smile was infectious, and I was drawn to her immediately.
In stark contrast I was 21 and clueless. A good church-going boy who lived a pretty sheltered life, although I always desired more. At the time I had had sex with only one person (my girlfriend at the time), and was happy with my relationship as it was.
E and I got to be friends after a while. At work events we’d naturally gravitate towards each other. Not due to any obvious attraction mind you; we were just the ones generally having the most fun. After a few drinks she’d subtly let fly that she was actually a little wild, and had a really fun side to her outside of work (where she was always cautious).
