The Perfect Life
“ She became terrifying to me, not because I feared who she was, but for the sake of love, I feared what she could do to me.”
–Christopher Poindexter Oliver I COULDN’T BELIEVE I almost kissed her. My hand had caressed her face, my lips so close we breathed the same air. I wanted it more than I’ve ever wanted anything in my life, though I’m not sure I could’ve stopped once I started. The realtor knocking on the window was both the best and worst thing to happen in that moment, and when Monroe fl...ed the car, I stole several seconds to regain my poise and self-control. It was day fucking two, and I was already putting the moves on my married coworker! And this was after I’d spent all night and morning swearing to myself I would stop with the preposterous fantasies I’d been having about her, which definitely meant NO FUCKING KISSING HER. She was turning me into someone I never thought I’d be.
When she got back in the car, I tried my best to play the situation off—to tease and harass her about the nicknames and her lips—in hopes it would help alleviate any awkwardness between us, and for the most part, it seemed to work.MoreLess
