Laughter and rosy cheeks filled the room. The speakers blared pop Christmas tunes, and the alcohol flowed generously. String lights and Christmas trees adorned the restaurant, giving it a perfect holiday glow.
The red velvet dress I wore clung to my curves. I was throwing back tequila shots with my coworkers when my boss, Ari, walked in. I bit my lip as I took her in. She wore a silk pantsuit in forest green, her head was shaved which looked incredibly chic and she had gold statement earrings that complemented her dark skin. She had a sophisticated glow that was undeniable as she strode confidently toward our group.
Suddenly, I felt her behind me. She smelled warm, earthy, and inviting. My stomach flipped. Ari had been my boss for about six months. She recently transferred from the London office and had the sexiest accent. As head of the marketing department, she was beautiful, smart, funny—and so hot. Also, a lesbian, which was a plus for my fantasies. In reality, though, we didn’t interact much. I gave her a memo every now and then, but I was far below her on the food chain.
“Merry Christmas, everyone! Have you started drinking without me?!” she exclaimed.
The group replied joyfully with laughter and cheers.
“Barkeep? Here’s the company card. It’s our Christmas party so no one pays for another thing tonight—understood?” she quipped.
To my surprise, she sat in the seat next to me and quickly motioned for the bartender. She commanded the room in a way I had never seen before.
“Dirty martini, please. Top shelf,” she said with confidence, then turned to me.
“Molly, what are you having?” she asked, pointing at my empty glass.
“Oh… uh…” I forgot how to speak. Pull it together, Molly!
“Tequila soda?” I said gingerly.
“A tequila soda it is,” she said, then added with a wink, “Top shelf as well.”
I melted. Once I had my drink, I took a big gulp, knowing I would need liquid courage to get through this.
“Thirsty?” she teased.
I realized she was watching me. Her eyes drifted from my lips to my chest and back up again. She batted her lashes.
“Oh… I… I guess so…” I stammered, my face heating.
“You’re adorable,” she said playfully.
Was she flirting with me? I couldn’t believe someone like her would be interested in me.
“You know, I’ve seen you around the office a lot. You’re gorgeous, but I feel like you don’t know it, which is a shame,” she said, her tone genuine.
I was taken aback but flattered, especially coming from someone so cool and beautiful.
“Oh, thanks,” I managed. “You’re, like, so beautiful too,” I blurted and immediately took another gulp of my drink.
She discreetly placed her hand on my thigh.
“Thank you, love.”
Merry Christmas to me.
