Under the Mistletoe with Your Shy Work Crush

Transcript

Hi there. I'm sorry. Did I startle you? Well, my sincerest apologies then.

No, no, no. Barry did not send me. Don't worry about it.

Yeah, actually, about the quarterly statements, you're almost done with yours, right? Yeah, yeah. They just needed to have them in so that they could compile them together for the annual.

So yeah, you're fine. You're fine. Don't worry about it.

I mean, you're, you're very, very fine. And in fact, why are you looking at me like that? Oh, I said that out loud.

Um, I didn't mean it that way. I don't think you're fine. Oh, okay.

I mean, not not like that. Not that you aren't fine. I just I don't, I wouldn't use, I mean, I use other words to describe you.

No, no, no, no. Oh my gosh. No, please, please don't take this the wrong way.

I just mean, I use better adjectives when it comes to your attractiveness and I'm totally rambling, aren't I? I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

But just forget that whole thing. Yeah. What? You're not gonna let it go? No, no, please.

I'm sorry. Don't tell them. They're gonna make so much more fun of me.

I mean, you already know what they say. Oh, you don't know? Well, it's nothing.

It's nothing. Okay. I'll tell you.

I'll tell you. They just like to poke fun at me and they say that I have a crush on you. And I mean, come on, crushes are so middle school.

I think I don't have a crush on you. I mean, I'm sure you're very, you're very crushable, but I, um, I don't even know if that's the right, the right word or the right, I don't know. Um, but, um, yeah, yeah.

So, so yeah, you're right. You're right. I am very rambling today, but see, here's the thing.

Um, Susan. Yeah. Susan from, from finances.

She, she kind of convinced me to, to drink coffee and well, here's the thing. I don't drink coffee. Yeah.

You know? And I think she has like a triple espresso. I know.

And, and it, I think it's starting to get to me a little bit. Yeah. Yeah.

You think so too? Um, yeah, I'm definitely never doing that again. I feel very energized and enlightened in a way that I didn't know was possible.

Um, right, right. Yeah. Well, well, why I came over was, was not for any of that, that I, that we just went through, but I thought was, I thought to ask you if you were coming to the party.

Oh, don't be silly. You know what party I'm talking about? The holiday party.

Yeah. Yeah. Are you, are you going, you don't know yet? Oh, okay.

Um, no, no, I just, um, yeah, I I'm going and I was wanting to know if you were going because I knew we've always had so much fun at, um, the, I don't know the other holiday parties. Well, we really don't have that many holiday parties, but we do have work parties quite often. And, and when we've done work trips and we worked late together, I've always had a lot of fun with you until I had to be fun to kind of share the holidays with you too.

Um, but definitely it's, it's fine. No, don't, don't come on my account. I just like to see you there, but, but Hey, did you do the secret Santa thing? You did? Who did you get? Right.

Right. Right. Right.

You can't tell me. Um, sorry. Um, well I'll leave you be.

I'm sure I've been taking up enough of your time. Oh, you don't mind? Well, I appreciate that.

Um, but I, I do have to go finish a report. No, no, no, not the, not the quarterly. I've already done that.

Yup. Yup. I'm fast worker.

Um, but yeah, I'll guess I'll get going and maybe I'll see you there. Yeah. Okay.

Bye. No, Susan, I'm never drinking coffee again. I totally made a mess of myself.

Yeah, I did. I, I embarrassed myself in front of them and I'm pretty sure they think that I'm, no, no, they don't like me. Why would they like me? I mean, I'm not.

Okay. No, I know. I know.

I'm, I know you think that I am the sweetest person ever, but just they're so, they're, they're walking over. Hi, you made it. Um, it's, it's good to see you.

Yeah. Uh, oh yeah. A hug.

Sure. Yeah. You're, you're, you're really warm.

Um, um, and you smell nice. Well, I'm sorry that, that totally sounds, sounds really creepy. I don't, I don't, I don't mean it like that.

I just mean, well, you, you smell very, um, comforting. I don't know. Um, I'm just going to stop speaking before I embarrass myself.

Yeah. Yeah. Um, no, no, you're definitely, you're definitely not late.

I mean, we've still got people coming in and I'm sure there'll be people who come even later than you. You know how some of us are. I like your sweater.

Yeah. Yeah. You definitely, ours are kind of matching actually.

See? Yeah. The reindeers, but mine have hearts on them.

I thought it was really cute. Don't you think so? I'm glad you do.

Um, well look, they match my headband. Yeah. Reindeer.

You like the reindeer ears? Thank you. Oh, they, they suit me.

Um, well, I think that's a compliment. It is. It is.

Okay. Oh, oh, I see. Uh, you, you, you, you think they make me look cute? Uh, well, um, you, you look, you look very, very cute as well.

Um, actually, um, do you, have you gotten anything to eat yet? Well, yes, you did it right. I did make my brownies.

Have you ever had them before? Once. Oh, okay.

Oh yeah. Jim shared with you? Um, yeah.

I, if I would have known you liked them, I would have baked you a batch and brought them to work. Yeah. I'm not even sure how Jim got ahold of them, honestly.

I'm sure he got them from Susan or someone. Yeah. Um, well, there's plenty left.

Would you like to try one? You, you totally don't have to, but okay. Okay.

Well, um, follow me then. Okay. And here they are.

Okay. I'll give you a piece. Here you go.

Okay. Give me your honest thoughts on it too. You know, I love total honesty.

You like it? Really? Mm hmm.

Yeah. Yeah. I have this little, this little secret.

I have this secret, the way that I make them. That's what makes them so fluffy and like the top layer is just crusted very nicely. Mm hmm.

Yeah. You want me to tell you? I don't know if I can do that.

Okay. That's reserved for very special people. You're right.

You're right. You are a very special person. Um, but I, I was wondering something.

Yeah. Um, oh, well it can wait. It can wait.

I'm they're calling us over today. The secret Santa thing that we can, um, sit next to each other. Everyone's getting such cool gifts.

Yeah. It's really nice. Oh, yours is coming up.

Yeah. It is a really cool guilt. Do you like it? Good.

Good. I'm glad you do. I mean, well, you know, I'm glad everyone likes to gifts.

No, no, I haven't gotten mine yet. Uh, um, oh, there it is. Okay.

I'm going to open this up then. Oh, this is such nice wrapping paper. It's very pretty.

Oh, oh my goodness. Yeah. It's, it's tickets to the, to the, to the, to the, uh, uh, yeah.

It's it's tickets to this concert. I've been wanting to go to four. I don't know how long.

Gosh, I don't even know who could have given me this? I've barely talked about it to anyone. This is such a sweet gift well to whoever gave this to me.

Thank you. I really appreciate it. What's that? Oh, you want to talk to me? Yeah, sure.

Um, do you want to walk over there? Yeah, yeah. Um, it's like private over here.

No one's really over here. Okay. What did you, what do you want to talk about? Was there something you've been wanting to ask me? Well, ask away then.

I'm an open book. Um, sorry. Is it, is it just me or is everyone staring at us? Okay, good.

It's not just me. I thought I was going a bit crazy there. Um, but are they staring at us? Oh, you're so mean.

It's not because I have a crush on you. You said you're gonna let it go. Okay.

Well, okay. Technically, you didn't say that, but still. Um, uh, it's, uh, they're staring above us, I think.

Is it, oh no, is the ceiling leaking again? Yeah, yeah, it's happened before. Do you remember when Jim, uh, left the sink running in one of the, like, the second floor bathrooms? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I think you left the bathroom with your arms. Um, yeah, yeah, that was, that was, uh, that was something, right? Um, you know, actually I'm gonna look.

Oh, yeah, that is what you think it is. It's a mistletoe. Well, um, we definitely don't, we don't have to do that or anything.

Um, what, what did you want to ask me? Oh, a date. You, you want to go on a date with me? Are you sure? Um, no, no, no, no, I'm not, I'm not saying no, I just, I just, you like me in that way? I just, I know I can be a bit, I don't know, really shy sometimes and.
