One Drunken Mishap ✔️

Challenge accepted

Scott pulled into my driveway, and I got out quickly. I ran to my door and struggled with my keys, trying to put the key into the lock when he stopped me and turned me around.

I looked at him as he stood close to me, "Can I help you?" I said, trying to keep my composure.

"Are you always like this," he asked me with an eyebrow raised.

"Like what? I have no idea what you're talking about," I shrugged.

He looked at me and said, "I don't believe that. I think you know what I'm talking about."

I looked at him as my heart pounded out of my chest.

"You can't tell me you didn't feel the attraction between us because I sure in the hell did. Then to wake up and find out you were gone was disheartening," he told me.

"I had no plans of going home with someone that night or even having sex with them. Do you even know how embarrassing this is for me?" I looked at him as I walked past him and paced. I stopped, then looked at him, "And on top of it, you're my boss."

"Yeah, so?"

I stopped and looked at him. Is this guy for real?

He walked over to me, "Trust me, I can separate my personal life from my professional life."

I walked past him and over to the door.

"Lina? What are you afraid of?"

I stopped and turned to him, "Maybe I'm just afraid of opening myself up and failing again. Since it's the story of my life."

He walked up to me, "Okay, fine."

I looked at him.

"Then I will prove it to you," he shrugged. I looked at him as he turned and walked away. What did that crazy fool plan?

I turned around and went inside. At least now I can wear comfy sweats and spend time with my main men.

Once I had changed, I settled in with a container of ice cream and turned on the Titanic. This movie reminded me of my love life. It's going great until it hits a giant iceberg and people die. At least Jack left Rose because he died. I got left because I wasn't a male.

I stabbed my ice cream with a spoon as I heard someone knock at the door. Now what?

I set the carton down and got up. I opened the door to find Tara standing there. I waved her in. She walked in and sat down on the couch. She picked up the carton and started eating ice cream.

"What's up with you?" I asked as I took the ice cream from her.

"I should be asking you the same thing," as she took the carton back from me.

"What do you mean?"

"What happened with you and Scott," she asked as she took a bite of ice cream.

"Nothing happened with us. Why?"

"You sure about that?"

"I'm positive. Scott drove me home and dropped me off, then left."

"Lina, we all know there is some unbelievable chemistry between you two. We saw it today at the house. So, what's the issue, besides that you already slept together and he's your boss," she asked me.

"Because it's more complicated with those two factors. Plus, how was I ever supposed to get promoted at work if we date? Because you and I know the minute I do, rumors are going to fly about Scott and me and how I got promoted," I told her.
