The One
They never meant to fall for each other, but Cupid had other plans.
Bethany was on the warpath today. When I entered our work building, I saw her at the downstairs gym pushing herself hard. I usually see her in the gym this early. I loved a good morning workout.
Our workplace had a full-sized gym complete with showers, and they had plans to add a play center for kids. It showed the employees that they were starting to think of us.
Bethany was, as my coworker Justin put it, ‘ultimate eye candy’ she was hot on all levels, but she was dating this idiot named Steven. From the time I saw the guy at one of our company family nights. I knew he didn’t deserve her.
“Hey,” I said as I passed Beth’s office later that day.
She looked up at me and just smiled.
I walked inside and looked at her screen. We usually helped each other with programming, so this wasn’t an invasion of privacy.
“Not to rain on your parade,” I said as I noticed some lines of code that she had messed up on.
“Fuck me,” Beth said as I pointed the line out.
Beth shook her bright blonde hair and erased the line.
“I can help if you want?” I asked politely.
