I am Denise. I'm 25 years old and work at a stockroom where we store inventory for our company. My job is pretty menial but it allows me to be alone most of the time which suits my secretive mood. My coworkers are all right, but there's one guy who catches my eye - tall, dark-haired, and always looks like he's up to something. He's older than me, probably in his mid-thirties, and has this air of confidence that I can't help but find attractive.

I've had a crush on him for a while now, but I've never mustered the courage to talk to him properly. We're always working together when he comes into the stockroom, but we don't really interact much. He seems like a nice guy though - always puts his arm around me or playfully teases me about something. But there's something about him that makes me feel all fluttery inside.

The other day, I was in my hidden corner of the stockroom (I like to call it my sanctuary), and I could swear I heard him walking by. He didn't say anything, but his footsteps seemed heavier than usual - as if he was pausing just outside my little world. It made me feel all sorts of emotions at once: excitement, nervousness, guilt...and maybe even a hint of longing? Anyway, that's when it hit me - the moment when I realized how much I wanted him to notice me.
