Not him, but…

Dear Rafi,

You’re very distracting to work around. For the first second I saw you the other day, I thought you were some type of executive. It took a moment to realize no, you were just the new guy, dressed up for the job he wants. Be still, my heart.

Just when I thought I was past school-boy crushes… it was Jose - who I called Jose Bootay - at Dunkin Donuts. It was Brandon and Long at CVS. At my current mail-order pharmacy/office job, it was Michael Cooney… then Santo… now you!

I asked you where you got your snug knit shirt… but I really wanted to say how sexy the forest green was against your coffee-brown skin. How I want to squeeze those muscular shoulders that show through, and bring your body close.

I knew better than to ask about your skin-tight white pants… that accentuate your ample asset.

That beautiful, enticing face. What are you doing here, when you could be a pin-up boy?

Anyway, back to the tasks at hand. Fortunately, you’re out of sight from my cube. I’ll have to keep it that way.

But… in the tradition of Michael Scott, I’ll have to settle for honoring you with the ā€œDundieā€ of Hottest in the Office.

Always,

Your admirer šŸ’
