Day in and day out, Anna and Thalia had heard it - the comments from their co-workers about how they two were locked in some form of unspoken competition of cleavage, each wearing more and more revealing outfits to work each day, meaning to outdo the other. The rumors had not been true, as each girl was only barely aware of the other - their choices of attire merely their own, with no external driver. However, as each comment drifted from lip to ear, and their uninterested eyes began to peruse and compare, a certain madness took them.
What if she was trying to compete with me this whole time?
How can she possibly think her breasts are as good as mine?
Is that why she always makes sure we bump into each other in the copy room?
Is she the reason Austin won't ask me out?
The questions and mutual mistrust set their minds and desires ablaze, as slowly the two could think of nothing else but each other, and the rivalry that others had invented for the two.
Days went by, each trying to analyze the other's every move, the meanings there derived bent and pitched through the prism of assumed animosity. Though each of the women tried to be subtle about their looks and examinations, neither succeeded, and as each was caught with their eyes affixed, both grew more and more certain that the rivalry they had imagined was real, ongoing, and escalating.
Days passed, then weeks, whilst all the while their obsession with the other and the perceived challenge they presented grew. That is until, one particularly quiet day in the office, as both women sat with eyes firmly locked upon the other's from across the office floor, a circumstance both had grown more than accustomed to, Anna raised from her chair. Without a word spoken, or signal given, Thalia followed suit. Then as if a gun had been fired they both turned, and rushed across the near empty floor for the private bathroom next to their boss' office.
Meeting there, Thalia turned the utilitarian metal handle and pulled back on the door. As it opened, both women tried to step in together, each getting caught chest to chest with the other in the narrow doorway. Not a blink after their garments touched, did they grab harshly at each other, struggling not for escape but for more contact, pressing themselves into each other, as they continued pulling and dragging each other into the oppressively tiny bathroom.
