The Co-Worker

Tina’s “Mr. Naughty”

Rating: Undecided [Gina here…I am decided on this douche.  He’s a LOW. Tough love, Tina, tough love.]

So, who hasn’t hooked up with a co-worker?  Let me tell you … NO ONE.  Unless of course you’re the unibomber or have lived on a deserted island your entire life.

I first made the mistake of hooking up with a co-worker when I was 17.  I swore, never again.  Now, many, many years later, I have fallen into this dangerous trap once again.  Was it worth it?  Hmm … let’s evaluate.

First, some background.  Mr. Naughty and I first got together about a month before I left the company.  That was actually one of his lines … “Come on baby, you’re leaving this place anyways, who cares?”  I fell for it, hook, line and sinker along with several other equally bad lines he used on me. [Was one of them the good ol’ fashioned quality line, “Is that a mirror in your pocket? Cause I can see myself in your pants.”  He just seems like that kind of classy guy 😉 Again, tough love here, tough love.]

The first night – INCREDIBLE.  Quite possibly the best sex I’ve ever had.  I honestly was not expecting this whole scenario to go beyond a single night.  But after that encounter, I was hooked.  Over the course of several months, I eventually started to develop feelings for Mr. Naughty, because he gave me just enough of what I wanted [READ – incredible sex], but not enough of what I really NEEDED [returned phone calls and texts?]. 

I then come to find out that there are at least 2 other women AT THE SAME COMPANY that he either has or still is hooking up with.  WTF?  [I repeat – DOUCHE.]  Also find out that his whole M.O. is swooping in on girls after they’ve gone through a break-up by using the EXACT same story about an awful ex to “relate” to them as a way to get in their pants.  Some fall for it, some don’t.  I did, sadly.

So where are we now?  I, like most women, think I can change him.  Despite ALL the evidence to the contrary, I’m set on the notion that I can turn this playboy into a husband (well maybe not a husband, I’m not quite THAT interested) but you get what I mean. [Sex slave?]

Moral of the story – whether you’re 17, 26, 32, 45 or any age, the co-worker is a very dangerous notion.  So for now, Mr. Naughty remains undecided even though there have been some definite HIGHs and many, many lows.

More tales of Mr. Naughty, to be continued … [Perhaps you’ll share with us how he earned the name, Mr. Naughty??]
