My Secret Office Encounter

I never thought I'd do something like this at work. It was during a slow day at the store where I usually spend most of my time with a computer and not much else going on. My mind wanders sometimes, thinking about the past few months since my breakup, all that loneliness, those long nights when I couldn't sleep, nothing to fill the void but bad TV shows and even worse food. One day, the office was empty except for me and a new temp who had been hired just that morning. We were both in our twenties, and there was an air of tension between us right from the start, something I couldn't quite ignore. During lunch break, we ended up alone together in my small office space. It started off innocent enough, but soon things escalated into a moment neither of us expected. There's no denying it, both of us were desperate for some kind of connection, and that day we found each other. It felt wrong, taboo even, but there was an allure to breaking those rules that pulled us in. Afterwards, I felt ashamed. We never spoke about it again, as if it didn't happen. But it did, a moment of weakness and desire in the last place you'd expect such things to occur.
