Angel shut the door and told me that her feelings for me are not about her trying to make up for any misery she feels in her current relationship, that I should not feel that she is using me to any such end. I was confused and aroused.
A week earlier, we were out drinking, just the two of us. She blurted, after a few too many drinks, that she wouldn't be here with me if she wasn't crazy about bald guys... Then we faced the facts: she is attracted to me and me to her. Two people attracted to each other, even aroused by each other - of course there was the complication of her current relationship of 8 years. As if that in itself weren't enough though, she and I share an office, actually our desks are physically connected and most of the day we are literally next to each other.
So the coming out happened and she was convinced that we would no longer be able to work together - I reassured her and I was proven right. We spent a whole week not mentioning the ominously arousing day, and did so going out to lunch together, talking about anything and everything during work hours, as if nothing had changed. Until she shut the door. It's now clear, it wasn't the alcohol talking in her.
