I have been working at TM for a little over a year and I have gotten to know the guys pretty well. I have also gotten to know some of the Tacoma guys that come own. Happy and Kozik. Happy is pretty quiet but loyal and is good to me. Kozik is the flirt. He flirts like all the time. Before, I never took him seriously but over time it just seems like he is taking it more seriously. "Morning beautiful." Kozik says to me as he comes into the office to clock in. "Morning Koz." I said not looking up from the computer. "Are you okay?" he asked. "Yeah. Just trying to get some work done." I say still not looking up and he goes out to the garage.
As the day goes on, Koz tries to talk to me a couple of more times and I ignored him the best I could. When time to clock out, Koz comes into the office and asked "Are you coming to the party tonight?" Still refusing to look at him, I say "No. I don't think so." See, the reason that I can't look at him is that I know the minute I do, I will give in. I have been in love with Koz since I frist met him and I know how these guys are. Don't fall for them because when it comes to relationships they are all toxic. "Come on. I'll pick you up and you can hang out and cut loose a little." he tells me, trying to convince me. "I said no Koz. I'm going home. Have fun." I tell him and walk out of the office heading home.
"What was that all about?" Koz asked as Gemma walks up beside him. "Are you really that dense?" she asked him and he looks at her confused. "Kozik that girl is in love with you but she knows that relationships with you guys are toxic." Koz looks at Gemma as the realization kicks in. "Fuck. Gemma, what do I do?" he asked her. Gemma looks at him and says "You love her, don't you?" Koz just rubs his hands down his face and nods his head. "Go tell her. She ususally just hangs out at home of Friday nights." she tells him as she pats his shoulder.
Twenty minutes later, I am sitting on my couch eating pizza and drinking beer and not expecting anyone. Looking through the peephole I see Kozik standing outside my door. Opening the door, I asked "What are you doing here?" He looks at me, walks in and pulls me to him and kisses me. It was slow and passionate and I feel the tears running down my face as he pulls away. "Why are you crying baby?" he asked as he wipes my tears away. "Koz, what are you doing here?" I asked as I pull out of his grasp. "Why didn't you tell me you were interested in me?" he asked. "Koz, guys like you don't do relationships with girls like me. I'm not one of those skinny bitches." I tell him. "Are you serious? Baby, why do you think I have been trying so hard to talk to you? I love you, Amy." he tells me. "What?" I asked shocked. "Don't look so surprised. I have been flirting with you for so long. I thought you would have picked up on it." he says with a little smirk. "You love me?" I asked still in disbelief. "Yes, Amy. I love you. Not all of us are toxic." he tells me before kissing me softly. "I love you too Koz."
