it been since you have been intimate with someone?" "I..." Maureen starts to say, trying to figure it out in her head. "That long, huh?" Julie laughs. Maureen can feel her cheeks turn red. This is something she rarely discusses honestly with anyone, herself even, let alone with a coworker. She sighs and shrugs, unable to help it. They both turn their heads in the direction of the door as they hear it open and the noise from the bar grows louder for a moment. They can see Chris stepping out. He turns and sees them. Smiling, he walks in their direction. "Well," Julie says as she takes a last drag and drops the remainder onto the ground. "Let me let you get to business," Julie says as she snuffs out the cigarette with her foot. A cone of smoke flies from the corner of Julie's lips as she walks in the direction of Chris.

Thinking fast, she asks, "What about you? How are you feeling?" "Beat up," Chris says quickly, then reaches up with a hand to rub the back of his head. He chuckles. Maureen imagines grabbing him, pushing him against the wall. She wants to feel him against her body again. She wants to feel her nipples touch his skin. Maureen can feel her body responding to her thoughts and she feels herself shifting her feet. Maureen laughs, a little too fast, she thinks. "I am really sorry about hitting you." "It is okay. I am over it," Chris laughs. "The guys will never let me live it down though." "Oh..." Maureen says.
