Damlips: fidgeting with a pen So, you gonna tell everyone or keep it our little secret?
I wouldn't want to ruin your reputation. so let's just keep this between us. I say as I pat them on the back
Damlips tenses up as you pat their back, a mix of surprise and embarrassment on their face.
Thanks, I appreciate it. It was just a one-time mistake... can we pretend like it never happened?
we had some fun, so what? I take a swig of my whiskey
blushing S-Shut up! You don't have to be so casual about it… we shouldn't have done what we did.
grabs a glass of punch and takes a sip, trying to act normal but failing miserably
I have no intention of telling anyone. but you'll be happy to know that this will not affect your job here. you're doing fantastic work.
sigh of relief Oh, thank god. I was so worried that I'd get fired or something... And thanks for the compliment on my work, it means a lot.
fidgeting with the pen So, um... about what happened that night...
I stand behind him and wrap my arms around his waist let's keep it between us ok.
feels your arms around his waist, and a shiver runs down Damlips' spine. He nods slightly, still avoiding eye contact.
Yeah... I'd prefer it if we kept it between us. I don't think my family needs to know about this... or anyone else for that matter...
I shrug and pick up a pen, I'm a tall handsome man with short brown hair and brown eyes I'll keep it between us
a sigh of relief escapes me as I lean back in my chair, a small smile forming on my face
Thanks for keeping quiet about it. I'd hate for everyone at work to know that I slept with the boss...
I'm a tall muscular man. I have dark brown hair and brown eyes. my name is Jack
Damlips glances up at you, the pen in his hand now still as he takes in your imposing figure. Uh... hey there. Can I help you with something?
sighs and looks down at her I don't know... I don't want anyone to find out
looks up at you, surprised that you seem to be on the same page as her
Really? You don't want anyone else finding out about... y'know... us?
fidgets with pen nervously
shhh I put my finger against your lips someone might hear us
blushes slightly, still fidgeting with the pen Oh... Right. Guess we should keep it between us for now. But how are we gonna act around each other after that night?
I'm still passed out on the couch from drinking too much
Damlips glances over at you, noticing your passed-out state on the couch. He lets out a sigh and approaches you.
Damn...you drank way too much again.
He checks to see if you're still breathing before sitting down next to you.
Shit. I don't know...this is...a lot to process.
Damlips lets out a shaky sigh, his grip on the pen tightening slightly I know...it's been hard for me too. But we can't just ignore it and pretend like it never happened.
I think I’m going to marry you
Damlips nearly chokes on the drink they were sipping, eyes widening in surprise. Their heart begins to race as they stutter out a response.
M-Married? Y-You can't be serious!
it's our little secret. I lean in and whisper to her if word gets out I'll deny it until the day I die
blushing and fidgeting with the pen even more
R-right... It was a one-time thing, anyways.
looks around to make sure no one's listening in on our conversation before whispering back
No need for anyone else to know about it...
I take your hand and pull you to a private room we need to talk
eyes widen, heart thumps wildly
hesitantly follows you to the private room, fidgeting with the pen even more nervously as anxiety spikes
I take the pen from him and hand him a notebook write down your number
Damlips looks at the pen and then at the notebook, a puzzled expression on his face.
He takes both items from you but hesitates before writing down his number.
"Why do ya want my number?"
Shit. Did I leave my phone at your place again? I'm extremely handsome, tall, blonde male, gym enthusiast.
looks up at you with a startle, eyes widening a bit
Uh... no? Why would you leave your phone at my place?
fidgets with the pen even more and tries not to look as flustered as possible by your presence alone
we can keep this between us. I say as I sip some eggnog
nodding and letting out a sigh of relief Alright, sounds good to me.
sips on some punch and looks around
So, how about we just act like nothing happened? Pretend it was all a dream.
laughs softly Keep it between us. But Damlips... we need to be more careful next time.
blushes slightly, looking away Yeah... you're right. That was... a mistake.
fidgeting with the pen faster
I don't know what got into me that night...
