I had asked him to be honest. I opened the door for him to share whatever deep desire his mind could possible think of.
"While you were sleeping I was thinking about you." He said it so gracefully and lovingly I couldn't help but want to know more.
"What about me?" I ask trying to hide my blushing cheeks.
"Just what a life with you would be like."
"I honestly couldn't help but think about that too." I say not wanting to make eye contact with him.
"Really?" He asks sounding surprised.
"If you weren't in a relationship..I.. let's just say I probably wouldn't be able to keep my hands off you." I admitted already feeling guilty.
"Oh." He answers.

I watched her lips move with her words. Her faint pink lips drew me in more than I ever thought possible.
She mentioned she wanted to kiss me, but my marital status was holding her back. Does she not understand why I stay in a loveless marriage? Does she not understand that having children changes your views on divorce?
"You're right." I say not hesitating. "I shouldn't be doing this with you or with any woman. I am not a man to, usually, cheat on their wife. Up until tonight I have always been loyal to her, even in the roughest of times. There was just something about you. You're smile brightened my entire day. I can't explain it but just you being here with me is making me feel relaxed. I am so used to my wife having high expectations and low self esteem its hard for me to even breathe at times."
"I've been in rough relationships, I think everyone has." She says a look of sadness on her face. She refuses to make eye contact with me as she continues. "I can't tell you what to do but..."
Then out of nowhere the elevator starts to shake violently. The lights flicker on and off again. Through the flickers I see her grow more and more worried. I move my self closer to her and she instantly pulls me against her.
Then in an instant we drop.
