Friends and Alibis

The next day at work I was zoning in and out of my thoughts. But could you blame me?

I was a nice little girl once, and now here I am, kissing an almost married man. Okay I wasn't a particularly nice girl but you get the idea.

"Penny for your thoughts." Alexis was sitting next to me.

"Huh?" I replied with little enthusiasm and something between dizziness and sleep deprivation.

"You seem to have a lot on your mind and like you're kind of... out of it. I bet you didn't even notice me coming in five minutes ago." She was right, I hadn't. But not even the biggest mug of coffee would've helped.

"Yeah, I have just, like you said, a lot on my mind." I replied and yawned. Sleep hadn't been an option the night before.

Not like Zack and I had hooked up or anything, I was just still too excited until I realized that I had kissed another girl's man. And, damn, I felt bad. But it was good. But still so wrong. But I hadn't been kissed like that in years. But it still felt wrong. But…

"Oi, don't zone out on me!" Alexis snapped her fingers in front of my face, bringing me out of my trance.

"Sorry, it's just..." I sighed deeply, thinking of a way to tell her. “I think I’m about to fuck up a friend’s engagement.”

“Oh.. wow.. I wasn’t prepared for something like that.”

“Well, yeah. Neither was I.” I grumbled and got back to work until I felt my phone vibrate.

Matt 3:56 p.m.
Heard about yesterday. Way to go, missy. Just go a little farther next time and he's yours ;-)

I let out a snort of laughter and texted back.

He told you that? I always thought he was more secretive than that...

"Did you kiss him for fun or what?" Alexis asked, and you could tell that she wanted to know each and every detail.

"No, we just... made out." I dead-panned and by the way her shoulders slumped, you could tell she had thought more of it.

Matt 3:59 p.m.
He is but he actually blushed when we asked him what happened and so we kind of got it out of him.

May 4:00 p.m.
You cuffed him, didn't you?

Matt 4:00 p.m.
Maybe
