Reunion Of Hearts ❤️

Reunion Of Hearts!!!!

Chelsea was nervous. Today was the day she would see Owen again. They had not seen each other in eight years. They had worked together when Chelsea had been transferred to the plant where Owen worked. She had been sent there for a maternity leave replacement. The lady she was replacing had had a very difficult pregnancy and had to stop working in the third month so Chelsea had spent a total of 18 months at that other plant. And during that time a strike by the union workers had forced the staff to work different jobs.

Chelsea was a payroll specialist and, with an aptitude for science and learning, had been put on shift as the lab technician. Owen was the control room operator and thus the team leader. The strike had lasted 6 months and, at first, Chelsea was put on another crew. But after the first month, with a fourth crew trained, Chelsea had ended on Owen's crew. Owen had pushed Chelsea to become not only an excellent lab technician but also a team player, helping the rest of the crew with basic inspections and interventions in the field.

On a personal level, Chelsea had been smitten with Owen right from the start. But finding out he was in a relationship, she had kept her attraction in check and had never acted on it. However, with the months of working closely together, they had become quite close and the friendship had survived the distance when Chelsea had returned to her original plant. They had exchanged e-mails regularly and in the last few months, when the IT group had changed their e-mail software to one that included a chat function, they had chatted a lot.

During their chats, there had been a lot of flirting. And finally, Chelsea had admitted her crush on him. To her surprise, he admitted having a similar crush on her! He had told her that he and his girlfriend were together more out of convenience than anything and that this was the reason they had never moved in together. Over time, some of their chats had bordered on inappropriate and had caused them both to blush but it had also made them smile.

When Owen had found out he was going to her plant for a two-day technical meeting, he had immediately told her about it. They had made plans to get together for the night after the first day as he had to fly back immediately after the second day's meetings. And so today was THE day and Chelsea found herself very nervous.

On one hand, she wanted nothing more than to feel Owen's arms around her and make love with him. On the other hand, she was filled with apprehension. What if it didn't click? What if it clicked too much? What if he saw her and didn't want her anymore? What if, what if, what if!

Knowing that Owen was in the building, Chelsea was on pins and needles. It wasn't until lunch time that he finally showed up at her door, led by one of her co-workers.

"Hi!" Chelsea said, suddenly forgetting all about her nerves and feeling her crush reving up like an engine.

"Hi." Owen appeared nervous himself.

"Come on in!"

Owen walked in and closed the door behind him.

"Come here, big guy, I want a hug."

That broke the ice and Owen put his arms around Chelsea and held her for a while. Then he whispered "You're wearing the same perfume."

"You had noticed?"

"Oh yes. And for the record, I really like it. It smells really nice on you."

"Thank you."

Then, they released each other slightly, just enough to face each other. Owen bent down and kissed her gently on the lips. Chelsea kissed him back, both of them tentative at first. Then, as if all tension had suddenly melted away, their lips locked and they had their first real kiss, their tongues finally meeting.
