There was talk of attempting 100-word drabbles this week for Thursday Tales. Below is my attempt, which actually falls short of the word count by nine words! Oops.
OFFICE ROMANCE
The drink is going to my head so I bump my hip against his because now I can, I have an excuse. He looks at me through the corner of his eye and I admire the sharp line of his jaw, the way his lips purse over that hand-rolled cigarette. Here, in the corner of the pub, drinks in our hands, the play of our bodies goes unnoticed by our colleagues.
Our boss sits down opposite us. "You two together, then?" he says, and the sizzling heat between us vanishes.
@quillsandzebras: I love this! I think this probably happens to everyone at least once and I think you completely captured exactly how it usually ends. Great drabble!
