Her fingers absently brushed the hair back from her face.
She tapped at her keys, trying to think of something new to write.
She was definitely having writers block.
And for some reason, she just couldn't get him out of her mind.
Their relationship wasn't what you would call normal.
They were friends, but she had an overwhelming draw towards him.
He made her smile, laugh and sometimes just the way he looked at her made her desire him in ways she knew she shouldn't.
At 6'1 and 165lbs, he was tall and lean. His smile, one that crept from one side of his face to the other. And his eyes. Oh his eyes. She could get lost in those.
His hands were strong and his attitude confident.
Everything she desired in a man.
Yet why couldn't she bring herself to tell him how she felt.
Could it be because she had been fantasizing about him?
Dreaming of his lips pressing hers, tongue meeting tongue. Deep and slow kissing. His hands moving up her sides.
"Wendy" a hand rested lightly on her shoulder and she jumped.
"OMG, you scared the hell out of me!" she said in a high pitch.
"I knocked, but there was no answer, so I let myself in, the inside door was open, so I knew you were home. I brought you tea!" he smiled softly at her.
"I was. Writing" she gave a half hearted smile to try to hide the embarrassment of just fantasizing about the man that stood before her. "Thank you for the tea. Gesture noted and you're forgiven for scaring me half to death." They laughed.
"Looks to me you were more deep in thought, and the smile that had run across your face, painted a picture of pleasure more than anything. What were you thinking of, or should I say who?" he grinned.
"I uh, Why would you think that?" she could feel her cheeks begin to flush.
"Well, one for your natural defensive nature, and two, that crimson blush, tell me all I need to know." He held her tea out to her, and pulled up a chair to be seated beside her.
"Let's see what you have so far."
He swivelled the laptop towards him and looked at the first paragraph.
"Wendy, as your editor I have to say. You haven't gotten much work done. What's going on? We were to have 2 chapters completed to turn into the publishers for consideration by the end of this week. It's Sunday, and you have 2 paragraphs finished." he paused "And as your friend, I've noticed something bothering you." She stood and moved across the room, fidgeting with one of the tension balls he had given her.
She sighed. "Alex, your right, I haven't been focused on my work." To hell with it she thought he needs to know. "But my focus hasn't been on work. It's been on something else. You."
