It was 16 years ago that a blonde haired, blue eyed man stood behind me in my office cubicle. He put his hand on my shoulder, leaned down and kissed my cheek. He then whispered, I know the real you. You’re very shy. You pretend.
Tears leaked from the corners of my eyes and streamed down my chin. For no one had ever gotten me like that before. I knew in that instant I had fallen in love with him.
He stood up and walked away. Our friendship was never the same after that. We never spoke again. How he ever figured me out I will never know.
YOU NEVER SPOKE AGAIN? wow that makes it more poignant.
No, we didn’t. We worked together for another year. No more words passed between us until the day he left. I told him he changed my life I kissed him goodbye and that was that.
Nawww.
Yep. Really.
I think at some level we all pretend a little bit, yes?
Yes. Some of us pretend a bit more than that though.
oh…my. Incredible. Did this really happen?
Yes, it did.
How long ago was this?
16 years ago. A long time ago.
Did you ever talked to him or seen him again?
We actually worked together for one more year. We said goodbye the day he left and I never saw or heard from him again.
hmmm…Interesting. Did you regret not ever saying anything or kissing him?
No. Because I was married. I knew that it wasn’t meant to be. I miss him still.
oh…wow! cool. 🙂
Yeah.
That touched my little heart…. What a nice person he must have been….
He was.
So touching… xoxoxo 🙂
❤
Wow!
Yeah. He figured me out. He really did.
He said you were shy? That doesn’t sound like you!
The thing is Matt. He was right. I pretend to be an extrovert, but he knew it was just for show. How he figured that out, I will never know. He’s gone from my life and I know I’ll never see him again. But I have the knowledge that one man actually figured me out.
The introverted extrovert. I’ve known a few in my day. One in particular even looks a whole lot like me…
Why am I not surprised. 😉
I’ve been thinking about your new erotica theme. Have you read snarkysnatch.wordpress.com? She’s really funny and writes well but she’s really out there. You might appreciate her site. Hold on to your hat though, it’s pretty outrageous. You’ll laugh, I’m sure about that.
Oh honey I’ve been following her since I started this. I LOVE her! She’s a hoot. Did you read her latest entry? OMFG I laughed so hard.
I’m not sure how much erotica I will post. It still makes me anxious to publish it. I have had good feedback from men and women about it though. Sometimes I read what I write to Roger Darling and he stares at me with a complete look of bewilderment. Like where the hell do you come up with this stuff? I tell him it’s because I have a horribly dirty mind. 😉
I’m almost certain he appreciates it even if he doesn’t say so. What man wouldn’t. Yes, I read Snark’s latest entry. Mamma Mia.
Giggle on Snarky’s latest. And yes I’m sure he does appreciate it. I think he’s just kind of shocked about what my brain produces.
Keeps things exciting.
😉
Wow, what a story Renee!
Roger has got a good woman, there are some that might have been tempted 🙂
Its strange what life brings sometimes, circumstances, choices, directions to take, doors to open.
In another life, another time who knows.
Lovely story sparkly, have you ever thought about trying to find him again or is it a subject best left where it is?
I think there are a lot of people like you describe Renee, introverted extroverts is a good description 🙂
Have a good election day,
Love n hugs xxx
Oh Seadog, I can’t say that I wasn’t tempted. I just knew where my heart belonged. I’ve tried to contact him, but he has never replied. So it’s best to let sleeping dogs lie. And know that I’m where I’m supposed to be. 😉
Love and hugs back at ya!
