Enticing: Relationship

Enticing: Relationship

The whole day after the kiss, Keith’s spirit soared.  It was a high where he believed he would forever remain.  He wanted to call  Sarah first thing in the morning but held back.  Imagine his joy when he received a text from her.

“I’ve been at work for a couple hours now but can’t get going.  Been thinking about you.  Have a great day!”

That sealed it.  He was in love.  How long had it been?  He thought back to his last serious relationship.  It had been 13 months since he ended his last relationship to begin his current job.  Unfortunately, the move would require a long distance relationship.  Keith and Rebecca both agreed it best to break it off.  Keith believed she was ready to break up anyway.  The move made it convenient.

Over the next month, Keith wondered if he was more into the relationship than Sarah.  That was until a day she surprised him at his job.  She stopped by, unannounced, to have lunch with him.  She asked the receptionist for directions to his office which she received.  Keith was in the hallway when he saw her walking toward him.   Upon seeing each other, they both broke out into big smiles.  In Keith’s eyes, she was a vision of beauty.  If only he could write poetry.  Surely, someone as beautiful as Sarah deserves to have something written about her.

When Keith returned from lunch with Sarah, Angie stopped by his office.  With a knowing smile she asked, “So, who was that?”

Keith didn’t look at her as he busied himself with starting up his computer.  Hoping not to give fuel to the office gossip he simply replied, “That is Sarah Sullivan.” 

“So, how long you two been an item?”

“We’ve been going out for about a month now but I don’t know that we’re an item.”

Not convinced, Angie replied, “Really?”  She crossed her arms and stared at him.

Keith finally looked up and saw her posture.  She clearly wanted something more but he simply commented, “What?”

“I saw the way the two of you both lit up like Christmas trees.  There is obviously something there.”

Keith smiled at the thought of he and Sarah being in a serious relationship.  In his heart, he had held back since it all seemed too good to be true.  He looked at Angie with a grin and simply said, “Okay!”  Then he put his focus back on his computer screen.  Angie stood for a moment then stormed back to her office.
