And it wasn’t the first time.I noticed but naturally pretended I didn’t. We went backto good conversation and laughs. Later, we went to hi...apartment. When he sat next to me and gave me his “keep-away” body language, I put my arms around him.“Kiss me,” I said.“I don’t date coworkers,” he said.No? Then why had we been on several dates? Why had hebrought me up to his apartment?“I wasn’t asking for a date,” I said. I kissed. If you can look me in the eyes and tell me you don't feel the same, I'll get up and go, and leave you in peace. Can you?" I looked at her."Sam ... the woman you were with in Pizza Express..." Ah ... Julie. My ex-girlfriend." You were holding her hand..." I was trying to break it to her gently that, no, I wasn't interested in getting together with her again. She was not happy with me; I left her in tears."There was a very long pause. I looked at her, steadily; she met my eyes, and a tear. Blushes? =o lol, hiding something in your lap Teddy? All on my own here...The tone of her message soon becomes unusual, as I notice that she has attached a picture, but her message is not over yet. Wanna see what I’m doing? I move the cursor to click and download the attachment, yet I pause as my breath gathers and sticks in my throat. I know that she is not the sort of girl to do anything indecent, but with all the teasing... I just have to look around first, to make sure there are no eyes on. Her friends, two high-school boys and their older brothers, assured her she'd be okay. But after a few beers everyone began smoking pot too, and drinking more, and everyone, herself included, had forgotten about the time. They'd been in a basement without windows. They were all having so much fun, listening to music, watching cheesy movies. Forgetting the time had been easy.It wasn't until Shane Wallace began to cop a feel (she and the 17-year-old boy had been making out for almost an hour).
