Holding my beer in one hand, while the other is safely tucked away in my pocket, I stand by the bar and do some people watching.

This isn’t a date, I remind myself. If it were, I’d be dancing with Ashley. I’d have my hands firmly planted on her body. I’d be rubbing myself all over her. We’d be swaying to the beats, hips grinding together.

Dammit, thinking about it makes me hard.

I close my eyes momentarily, and will away my erection. Alcohol makes my brain all fuzzy, but I’m still able to hold myself back from even brushing up against her, which is a good thing because I would easily fuck this up otherwise. I really like my job. I really love that house. And I really want to finish what I started there.

I watch as Ashley stands beside Laurie and Brad; the three of them talking and laughing. I should go join them, but I’m kind of enjoying watching them. Who am I kidding; I’m watching her, dammit.

I’m a sick fuck. I can’t remember being this...infatuated with anyone, including Carole. And she was my longest running relationship. Good thing I broke it off, because this feeling—like I want to reach out and touch her and make her feel good, and dammit make her smile—this feeling...it’s not going away.

And it’s scaring the living shit out of me.

Finishing my beer, I decide it’s my last one. I need to have a clear head, and I have a feeling I’ll do something regrettable if I drink anymore. Not taking my eyes off Ashley, I make my way over to where the three of them are standing and decide to have a good time.

Nothing is going to happen between us.

She doesn’t see me that way.

Plus, she just got divorced. I should be happy she even hired a male contractor to finish that house. In her shoes, I’d probably switch teams. Or not. Probably not. I like girls too much for that.

“About time, man.” Brad knowingly gives me a small smile and wraps his arms around Laurie, who whispers something in his ear, making his face break out in a huge grin.

Jesus, I do not want to know what they were whispering about.

I nod, not knowing what else to say. I mean, “I’d like to rub myself all over that pretty girl over there,” isn’t very appropriate. I’m pretty sure Laurie would kick me, and Ashley would take advantage of my position on the ground to castrate me.

As I stand there awkwardly looking around, I notice Ashley doing the same. It’s like Junior High all over again. Neither of us looking at each other. Well, if she’s looking at me, I wouldn’t know because I’m no longer looking at her.

Besides, when she does look at me, it’s as if I can feel it. My skin prickles all over, and I instinctively have to look in her direction. It’s been like that since the first day we met at the house, and has only gotten worse every time we’ve been in the same room.
