The other day I worked with XXX. He made sure to keep me in his office for a nice long time. He does that partially so that I can earn money and I think he does it partially to keep me out of trouble. Either way I was glad to be there. Oddly enough his assistant was EXTREMELY friendly to me. It was her birthday which shouldn’t matter but she was super Chatty Kathy. I made a comment to XXX and said maybe I am sensitive to the fact that she monitors all of our emails. XXX confirmed that she probably realizes what is going on with us then began to tease me about the email that I sent him that one day that pretty much spelled everything out. I insisted that I was following his lead and figured he knew a loophole to get rid of the emails. He confirmed that he didn’t but didn’t care anymore. UGH! Well, whatever. What’s done is done. The funny thing is that XXX and I are an unlikely couple so if the rumor ever started at work I doubt anybody other than XXX’s assistants would believe it.
So the time came for me to work in XXX’s specific office. It was just the two of us. I was trying to help by doing some filing. I couldn’t help but picture XXX coming back into the file room with me. I thought about him coming up from behind me. I pictured him kissing the back of my neck with his hands on my waist. Then I pictured him bending me forward and fucking me from behind.
He did poke his head in to check on me a few times but he kept a safe distance. At one point we began talking about our sons. I started to tear up when he asked if I missed my son who is off to school. XXX came closer to me and tried to comfort me. He started to give me his platonic half hug but I wrapped both of my arms around him. Then he wrapped both of his arms around me. While it felt completely natural to look up at him and kiss him at that point I purposely did not.
Later after his assistant left for the day he and I stayed and chatted a little bit. We talked about the fact that he doesn’t believe in God which I find interesting given the fact that he grew up in such a religious family not to mention the fact that every time we were together in bed we are both exclaiming “Oh GOD!”
We talk more and more about our future together and less and less about an affair. We talk about traveling; getting our kids together and XXX even said he wanted to take me back to his home town.
We ended the conversation by talking about whether I should come into work on Monday or not. I said to XXX “You can always text me like you used to ‘alternative project’”.
As I was walking out the door I did not look back but I heard him say “I was thinking that very same thing.” Then I smiled to myself.

You were wise not to escalate anything, but it is nice to know that your comfort level is still there.
My relationship with XXX is so strange and so good to me I can't describe it. We are friends and workmates first and foremost.I think he wants us to end up together and it bothers both of us to start a relationship like that based on deceipt especially in light of his wife cheating on him.
Many relationships start in questionable circumstances yet develop into long-lasting ones. If you two ever get together, he will have to deal with his current situation independently of his feelings for you. Then, after that is done, he can deal with his feelings for you.
