Drew's fingers tapped absentmindedly on the armrest of his couch as he aimlessly scrolled through his LinkedIn connections. It was late, and he should have been asleep, but he couldn't shake the feeling of restlessness that had been plaguing him all week.
His eyes narrowed as he came across a familiar face. Veonika, his former manager. He stared at her profile picture, remembering all too well how she looked in her work clothes, how she filled out her blazers in a way that was both professional and tantalizing.
A smirk tugged at the corners of his mouth as he remembered how Veonika always seemed so confident and in control at work. It was one of the things that had drawn him to her, that and the way she had of looking at him that made him feel like he was the only one in the room.
With a quick click, he accepted her request and typed out a message. "Hey Veonika, long time no see. How have you been?"
His heart raced as he hit send, wondering if she would even remember who he was. But his fears were quickly put to rest as her response popped up on his screen almost immediately.
"Hey Drew! I've been good. Just been busy with work and life. How about you?"
Drew couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as he told her about his current job and how he'd been working out at the gym. He knew it was vain, but he couldn't help but want to impress her.
Veonika's playful insult made him laugh out loud. "I always knew you had potential, Drew. But I didn't know you were trying to become a bodybuilder."
He shot back with a witty retort, "I'm just trying to stay in shape. Got to keep up with the younger crowd."
Their flirtatious banter continued, and Drew felt himself getting lost in the memory of Veonika's presence. He couldn't help but think back to the time she had asked him to open her water bottle at work. It had been a simple request, but the way she had looked at him had made him feel like he was capable of anything.
He told her as much, and Veonika's response made his heart race. "I'm glad I could inspire you, Drew. I've been thinking about you lately."
Drew's mind started to wander. Was Veonika feeling lonely? Horny? The thought made his pulse quicken, and he couldn't help but ask her if she wanted to meet up for a drink sometime.
When she agreed, Drew couldn't help but feel like he had won the lottery. He went to bed with a smile on his face, excited for the possibility of reconnecting with Veonika. He knew that whatever happened, it was going to be one hell of a ride.
