It had been over a month now since I've been on this job and just about the same time since I met Mr. Coco. He came in regularly into the gift store and checked in on me all the time. I even sometimes caught him staring at me from across the dance floor as I served customers. Although the apparent attraction was there between both of us, he never pushed the issue or came onto me in a way other than friendly. That made me want him even more. Just interacting with him made me forget all about my dick of an ex and had me in a good place after a horrible break up. I learnt his schedule like clock work, I knew which days he would work and which days he wouldn't so I made sure I was extra cute on the days he was on. I made up in my mind that I was gonna make the first move if he didn't do it the next time we saw each other. It was Friday and according to my intel (I was lurking like hell) he was scheduled for the night shift which was perfect as I was on the night shift as well. Tonight was gonna be the night I break the ice and try and figure out if he was feeling me the way I was feeling him. Just like clock work there he was clocking into work on time, I tried to play busy as he strolled his way over to the counter where I was. "Hey shorty, what's up?" he said "I'm good can't wait to get off is all, I lied, I was ready to work overtime if it meant I could be around him a bit longer. Some where between hi and bye we exchanged numbers and the fun really began. Over the next few weeks we messaged each other regularly casually flirting here and there but nothing deep.
We were nearing the two month mark and things were starting to heat up we began meeting up outside the job and I found myself falling for him. I just wondered why it seemed that even though the chemistry between us was undeniable Mr. Coco still seemed to keep things at a friendly rate. I was starting to get worried, "was he not attracted to me, what if he friend zoned me OMG I can't take being friend zoned". I remembered my vow to myself, to never let a man get close enough to hurt me, as I started to get in my feelings I decided I was going to friend Zone him before he had a Chance to friend Zone me. A week went by and he had messaged me several times to which I didn't reply. I was to vulnerable at this point to allow another man to play with my emotions. I set a plan in my head to avoid him by all means necessary at work, my plan failed drastically.
As I headed through the back door to clock in for work there he stood by the stairway that led to the staff bathroom as if he was waiting for someone. I tried not to make eye contact but I couldn't resist we locked eyes and my plan to avoid him went flying out the window. "Can we talk Please?" he questioned in this smooth humble voice, before I could think of a reason to say no I found myself uttering "Sure". He motioned for me to come with him upstairs near the staff bathroom as it was a lot more private and quiet there with way less traffic of possible interruptions. As we made our way up the stairs I felt him grip me by my waist and press my body against the wall of the hallway leading to the bathrooms. I tried to analyze what was going on in my mind but my body was loving the direction this conversation was headed. As he pressed against me on the wall our lips were centimeters apart and I felt the pulse begin to beat on my other lips, things were getting heated. "I'm sorry if I did something to offend you" he pleaded, I messaged you a few times you never replied and I don't know if I did something wrong but I couldn't get you off my mind" he confessed and before I could even respond his lips were interlocking with mine and we shared a passionate kiss. I couldn't believe what was happening, finally he let me know what's what with our situation. That kissed lasted for what seemed to be forever. With each second he kissed me his hands began exploring the various curves of my body. I was so aroused I was ready to give it to him right there and then. Then suddenly he pushed himself away and held his head as if something was wrong. Puzzled i just stood there waiting for him to explain what just happened . He stared at me and then said he had to tell me something and that he doesn't know how I'm gonna take it. A million thoughts ran through my head and I began to think the worse. Then he just said It "Tiff (as only him called me) I'm really feeling you but it would be unfair for me to pursue you and not tell you everything, I'm married with two kids and I think I'm falling for you" were the words he uttered. I was speechless I couldn't believe my ears. I was feeling him hell a lot but I wasnt a home wrecker. "I'm late I have to clock in was all I managed to say before scurrying down the stairs. For the most of the night he just stared at me from across the building and I threw him a few stares back. I knew it was to good to be true, just my luck here I was falling for a married man.
A few days went by since our kiss and I couldn't get Mr. Coco off my mind. It was like i was caught in a Trans and the only thing that kept snapping me back to reality was the fact that he was married and had kids. I was scheduled to work that night but I began sulking and made up some dumb excuse to my manager so that I could just wallow in my feelings. I flipped through the TV and there wasn't anything that caught my attention, I thought maybe I should get some drinks. But then again that would only make me get drunk and horny and it wasn't anyone but me and my dog Dior in this big old apartment. So I decided to just stay in. All of a sudden my phone rang and who should it be Mr. Coco!! "What should i do" I thought I won't lie I really was glad to hear from him but i didn't know how to handle his extra luggage. I finally just swiped my finger across the screen and answered. "Hey Tiff I heard you called into work tonight I was just checking to see if you were OK" he said in that sexy deep voice. "yeah I'm good, I assured him, just a little tired". "Cool, well i really wanted to talk to you after what happened the other night but it seemed like you needed your space, is it OK for me to swing by you and talk about it in person I'm getting off early tonight so I could pass by in a few minutes". He replied. I paused I had to think, was him coming over here really a good idea, I didn't know. "Ummmm sure I guess, I'm gonna text you my address when we hang up" I said without really thinking it through. "OK see you in a few" he said then we hung up.
