Oh Brent

Brent never called. No biggie, a little disappointed, but got over it pretty quick. On Friday, he walked by my office and held his hand up to his face with his pinky and thumb out and said "Give me a call later." I just said okay, before I really realized what happened or what he said. I don't have Brent's number. I couldn't call him. Should I march my little butt down to his office and tell him? I opted out on that one as well. I was leaving for the day and wouldn't you know it, there's Brent in the lobby.
"Did you call me?" he asks. I said I didn't have his number. "You could have come by my office." he replied. I told him that I didn't even know if he was in the office, I saw him leave but never saw him come back. He asked me to come by his office on Monday because he wanted to talk to me. We all know what's coming next...
Today, I went down to his office, close the door behind me per his request, and he comes over to hug me. It was a good hug, and then he kisses me on the cheek (just a peck), and smells my neck. He tell me I smell good. Surprised, I say thanks. We sat down and proceeded to chit-chat. Then, the real reason he wanted to talk comes out. He wanted me to know that he had a really good time when we went out, and he was sorry he hadn't called. He said he wanted me to know that it was because of his stuff going on. Okay. Fine, it's fine, really. I told him I know, that I've been doing this long enough to know that if someone doesn't call, that they either have other stuff going on, or their not interested or whatever. It's fine and completely unnecessary. I told him I appreciate the gesture but again it's not necessary. He said he felt like it was because we see each other everyday. We talk for a couple more minutes and he says that he hopes we can do it again sometime in the future. I smiled, and said "Me too."
As I was getting up to leave he gets up to give me another hug. I coyly ask "Oh, I get another hug?" He says sure and that he wanted to smell me again and asks if that's allowed. I said I didn't know. Still hugging me he starts to kiss my neck. Of course I like it. I snicker a little and ask if that's allowed. He said "I don't know, you tell me." I pull away a little and say, "I don't know, you're the one with the 'stuff' goin' on." Basically, you can't tell me you can't see me because you have stuff to work through and then still get to kiss me. It doesn't work like that Brent! He smiles and nods and says "How about a fist pound? Is that allowed?" Smart ass. I give him a fist pound and he holds my hand for a split second as we make a joke about cold hands.
It was fine. I still have a smile on my face about it. I'm sure we'll continue to smile and flirt and give each other looks in passing. Which I like anyways. I have a feeling this falls into my "Unfinished Business" category and there may be another installment of Brent sometime in the future. We shall see.
