You continue to amaze me.

Winnie, Emma and I are doing matching costumes for Halloween this weekend. Would you want to join?

I think you’d look good in leather.

I can’t think of anything I’d rather do less than a coordinating costume.

Can’t wait to see you in leather.

I’m second guessing implementing casual Fridays per your request. I’ve never been turned on by a pair of jeans. I can’t think straight with you in jeans. It’s been almost a month since you turned me down.

Are you ready to beg yet?

If you take away casual Fridays I quit. Morale seems to be much higher since people get to dress comfortably on Fridays.

You’re welcome for the suggestion.

PS… you bought the jeans. I’m glad you love them.

Don’t mistake my words. I’d love to rip the jeans from your body. I actually despise the jeans. They remind me how much I fucking want you.

Why aren’t you mine yet?

I jumpwhen a loud tinging sound breaks me from the journey through my favorited emails in my inbox. It started off innocent. At first, I learned of the feature and favorited an email Beck sent me just so I’d remember to complete the task. But then he kept sending me emails that sent my pulse into overdrive, and in a few weeks’ time I had a nice little collection of emails between the two of us that had me questioning why I just don’t give into him already.

It’s getting harder and harder to resist Beck. We live together, work together, and basically do everything together. I’m not complaining about it. I actually love it more than I probably should. But because of all the time spent together, I’m getting to know Beck for who he is.

And he’s nothing like his younger brother. They couldn’t be more opposite if they tried.
