It is just another quiet day at the office. My boss has already left, due to a family commitment or something, and after she left everyone else lost all motivation to stay at work.
Not me. When there's something I need to do, I will stay and see it through to the end.
I am surprised when I look up at the clock after powering through my stack of papers, to see that it was 6 at night. Wow. Usually I leave at 4. I don't know how I missed that.
I decide to read one more report, then pack up my things and go.
I open the document, and start to read when I hear a shout. "Hey, Melanie!"
I snap my head up and turn around. It's Gerald, just another guy who works in the office cubes with me.
"Hey Gerald. What are you still doing here?"
"Just finishing up some work."
"Me too." I motion to the stack of papers in front of me. "Time just got away from me."
"I know the feeling." Gerald says, and starts walking forward to me. "You know, we've never really gotten a chance to talk...you know. One on one."
"No, I don't suppose we have." I say, starting to feel a bit uneasy.
Gerald is pretty cute, 6'3", well muscled, dark brown hair and beautiful green eyes. But he's just staring at me like I'm a piece of meat.
"Well, we're here now. We could talk now." He says, and sits down on my desk.
"We could, but I need to do these reports and then-"
"Melanie, you work too much." Gerald gently closes my portfolio and slides closer to me. "You need to take a break every once in a while."
My breath hitches in my throat. "What kind of a break?"
Gerald leans forward and kisses me, roughly. Without even stopping for those shy, tentative kisses that I'm so used to guys trying for a first kiss, Gerald slides his tongue into my mouth. He claims my mouth, forcefully, gripping the back of my head with his hand and pressing me into him.
I moan, and drape my arms around the back of his neck.
