#8: In the Conference Room with Mr. Dan Jones

Disclaimer: Angst and you cheat on your fiancé. So yanno...

It was nearing 9 PM and you were losing steam, trying to finish up the research you began hours prior. Dan walked into the conference room with a fresh cup of coffee in hand, looking tired but determined. You both had been working late nights for the past few days, preparing all the documentation that was needed to finish the report.

It had only been a week since you'd gotten engaged to your boyfriend, who by all accounts was a decent guy, but you never felt a real spark with him. You weren't even sure why you agreed to the engagement, chalking it up to the fact that the proposal so was grand and beautiful, it was too difficult to say no.

Everyone was so happy for you, and it became increasingly difficult to break things off. However, one person, in particular, was no so thrilled. Your colleague, Mr. Dan Jones.

It wasn't long ago when you and Dan stopped by a pub after work one evening and for the first time you discussed things other than work. You felt a connection to him almost immediately, something significant on an emotional and more notably, physical level.

What should have been an innocent night out to get to know your co-worker better, turn into the steamiest night of your life. You aren't even sure how it happened or who made the first move, all you remember is how amazing he made you feel.

That was a month ago and you'd been trying to keep your distance but of course, your job was making it nearly impossible.

Dan sat across the table from you, setting his coffee mug down and sifting through the stack of papers in front of him. The buzzing of your cell phone caught his attention briefly as you picked it up, read the message, and laid the phone back down.

"Is it past your curfew?" Dan said in an almost sarcastic tone before taking a sip of his coffee.

You smirked at him. "I'll go home when I'm ready."

Dan's jaw tensed as he slightly nodded. "I plan to be here all night again so don't feel obligated to stay. I'm sure ...he... wants to see you."

You sighed, glancing over your laptop screen before back at him. "Do you want me to leave or something?"

Dan shrugged. "I want you to do whatever makes you happy," he said, leaning back in his chair.

You knew there was a deeper meaning behind his words and it was driving you crazy that he wouldn't just say what was on his mind. He'd been making these sort of comments all week.

You closed your laptop and rested your elbows on the table.

"Just say it," you demanded in a calm tone. "Say whatever you want to say to me."

He adjusted his posture and sat back up, leaning his forearms on the table and locking eyes with you. "Fine. I think you're making a huge mistake." He said sternly.
