The man’s lips felt surprisingly amazing on mine. What was his name again? Joey? Jacob? Ah, who cared, I threw my arms around him and pulled him closer to me. I heard cheers when I did, presumably from his group of friends.

Maria started laughing and clapping.

The kiss ended as suddenly as it had begun. “Wow,” Joey/Jacob said. “You better call me after that.”

I laughed. “Maybe I will.”

I saw someone approaching fast out of the corner of my eye.

“Logan!” I jumped off my stool, like I had just been caught by a parent doing something I shouldn’t.

Joey/Jacob took one look at Logan and Dylan and backed himself away from us.

“That was uh…my cousin,” I said, immediately regretting my choice of lie.

Maria made a disgusted face at me. Logan and Dylan exchanged confused looks.

“What are you guys doing here?” I said quickly.

“Oh. Um. I saw you take your shoes off, I just wanted to make sure you were okay,” Logan said.

I gave him a slow nod. His lies were much faster and better than mine, I thought to myself.

“I’m fine, thanks, I’ll see you on Monday,” I sat back on the stool and turned to face the bar. I took a sip of the drink Joey/Jacob had brought me.

I saw Maria out of the corner of my eye. She had averted her eyes from Dylan and Logan and was looking down at the ground. Without a word, Logan and Dylan slipped back out of the bar. I breathed a sigh of relief when I felt they were gone. Maria and I looked at each other.

“See?” I said, “That man needs boundaries.”

“Or to just give into his feelings and do you already,” she winked at me.

I pondered that a moment. Then for another moment. I shook the thought from my mind before I delved too deep into that fantasy. I looked around the bar.

“Where’d Joey/Jacob go?”

By the time 5pm Tuesday rolled around, my annoyance with Logan was at an all time high. I should have been getting ready to have a fun night painting with my friends, but instead, I was re–settling in at my desk to work God knew how much longer.

I looked towards Maria’s desk. She grabbed her purse and looked over at me. I gave her a sad little wave and she came over.

“Next time they have a paint and sip I’ll take you, I promise,” she said once she reached my desk.

“Don’t let Logan or Dylan know if you do,” I said bitterly

“No, I won’t make that mistake again,” Maria scrunched up her nose. She leaned down and gave me a

side hug. “Love you.”

“Love you too,” I said, leaning into the hug.

As she left I stood to go to the pantry to look for a snack. Logan’s office door opened at the same time.

“Can we talk through what needs done tonight?” He asked.

I stopped and turned. Ever since the bar I had to really fight through my irritation with him to act like a professional at work. Which just made me all the more irritated. “Yes,” I said turning back and plopping back down in my seat.

“Um….can we talk in my office?” He asked.

Without a word I grabbed a notepad and pen and stood. I looked at the ground as I walked into his office and sat in a chair in front of his desk. I opened the notebook to a blank page and readied my pen.

“Where’s your laptop? You’ll need it for what we’re doing.” he said.

“I was going to take notes and work at my desktop computer. At my desk,” I said coolly.

“Oh, I just thought….since we always do overtime stuff in here…” he paused.

“1 prefer to work at my desk today.” I said.
