Drew sat at his small dining table, the glow of his laptop illuminating his face in the dimly lit apartment. He clicked open his LinkedIn notifications, scrolling through the usual requests from recruiters and old colleagues. But one name caught his eye – Veonika.
He hadn’t heard from his former manager in years, not since she had abruptly left the company they both used to work for. He remembered the day she asked him to open her water bottle, noticing his muscles after a gym session. She had never shown any interest in him before, but Drew couldn’t help but feel a spark of attraction.
He smirked as he accepted her request, wondering if this could mean something more. Hours later, his phone buzzed with a new message. It was Veonika, asking how he had been.
Drew couldn’t help but joke, “Well, I figured you were only reaching out because you’re lonely and horny.”
He expected a stern reprimand, but instead, Veonika fired back with a playful insult. “Oh, you’re right, Drew. I’ve been missing my favorite gym rat.”
Drew laughed out loud, impressed by her quick wit. They continued to message back and forth, reminiscing about their time working together. Veonika mentioned how much she missed their flirtatious banter.
Drew felt a spark of excitement, realizing that Veonika might feel the same way he did. He suggested they catch up over a drink, trying to play it cool.
Veonika agreed, teasing him about how long it took him to ask her out. “I can’t believe it took you this long, Drew. I was starting to think you were all talk.”
Drew felt a rush of devotion, realizing that Veonika was everything he’d ever wanted in a woman. Strong, controlling, and direct – just like she had been in the office.
They made plans to meet up, both of them counting down the days until they could see each other again. Drew couldn’t help but wonder what the future held for them. But one thing was for sure – he was ready to find out.
