A boring office job

Allison sat down at her desk and got to work. It wasn’t a job that interested her, or even one that she particularly liked, but it paid well, she was decently good at it, and the hours weren’t terrible. The one bright spot about it though was definitely-

“Hey there Allie!” Said a cheerful woman peeking her head over the cubicle wall.

And there she was. Her favorite coworker. Mara was beautiful. Short curly brown hair, impeccable taste in fashion, and always optimistic in any situation. Allison had seen her negotiate her way into a raise from what had previously been a normal check-in meeting with the boss. She could turn any crisis into an overwhelming success. It also made her particularly attractive to Allison.

“Hey Mara!” Allison replied “How’s it going?”

“Great! I’ve almost got that project I told you about finished and my husband’s out of town this weekend. Wanna have a girl’s night at my place?”

“That sounds amazing! What time should I be over?”

“How about 7?”

“Sounds good to me. Can’t wait!” Allison said, before returning to her work.

The day passed at it’s usual glacial pace, but eventually she clocked out and went home to shower and change.
