The Saga: Survival Update 8

Sexts From Last Night: The Morning After.

Based on a true story. Soon to be a major catastrophe. 

Cupids,

Making the decision to show up for work, instead of calling in sick or dead, was difficult. But I’m not a little bitch. And I had a deadline. 

As well as a plan: the Grab and Dash. 

Grab what I need for work, then dash before Mr. NCOhMyGod arrives. It’ll be like I wasn’t even there. Because, as it turns out… I am, in fact, a little bitch. 

Don’t judge me. 

Facing Admiral ArmsAggedon just hours after asking him to do the ‘thing’ with his ‘thing’ (Insert ‘penis’ where it fits–NOT a euphemism) is the literal definition of ‘Too Soon.’ 

He also might need to process having been witness to what was a most unprecedented display of clinical terminology during what should have been the filthiest of dirty talk. 

So, I let myself into the office and who do I see, looking annoyingly fresh and deliciously wrapped in yet another body-con henley? Major MagicFingers himself. 

I did not have a backup plan. And so I did the only thing I could do: walk back out. 

Just kidding. It was too late for that. I walked in and braced for impact.

Did I find it odd that when I showed up to work 30 minutes earlier than normal, Sergeant McSextsMe was already there? Yes. 

Defcon level 1: Activated. 

The first thing he did? Hand me a coffee saying only “Careful, it’s hot today.” Was that subtle innuendo or my own paranoia? Maybe both. But he went back to his work without looking at me like I’m food. Version 1.0 would’ve asked if he needed to help so I could FINISH. 

Which, if I had to be honest, would have been fucking hilarious. 

Then it occurred to me that he might still be running the Mr. NCOhMyGod 2.0. update. And after 20 minutes of… nothing, I started to relax. 

That would turn out to be a mistake.

Unbeknownst to me, Mr. NCOhMyGod was back online with a vengeance–and with what appeared to be several software upgrades, including full turbo mode. Version 1.0 was fully operational, running in stealth mode. 

I. Was. Not. Ready.

General ThirstTrap, however, was ready. Almost like he had his own plan.

The catalyst was the weaponization of the breakfast sandwich. I did not know it was possible to sexualize a breakfast sandwich and yet there I was, listening to Lieutenant LipService describing it as so “moist” and “wet” and that it “melts in my mouth.” 

All the while maintaining direct eye contact. 

From there, things escalated at the speed of “whiplash.” 

Mr. NCOhMyGod spent the entirety of the day dropping innuendo after innuendo with the precision of a tactical strike. Without mercy. 

Of special note: 

One ‘accidental’ boob graze while ‘reaching for a document.’ Classic.

Several attempts to brand me: Sexy, Sexting Queen, Sextacular. 

And once the innuendos started, they kept coming–like a hundred hand slap:

“I think we both know I’m very talented at multitasking.”

“You look tense. I can take care of that.” 

“I’m really good with my hands. Can rub out all that” “Frustration.”

“Supply closet in five minutes?” 

“I’ll do the thing you asked for last night.” 

“With my mouth.”

And when I said we don’t have one? “That wasn’t a no.” (For the record, it wasn’t a yes.)

The finale? No. THE AUDACITY. 

Master Sergeant AbsMcSteel texts me several OnlyFans style pics. Wearing less. Much less. (Yes, it was glorious, but that’s not the point here.) 

WE WERE SITTING IN FRONT OF THE BOSS. The way my heart just stopped. 

Why did he do it? He knew my “reaction would be priceless.”

But it didn’t stop there. 

During said meeting, Master Sergeant BigFuckingEgo casually mentioned how well we “BOUNCE. ON. EACH. OTHER.” 

We. Do. Not. Bounce. On. Each. Other.

And just when I thought he could not possibly top all of the above, when I told him to “get out of my head”:

“Only if I can come in your–“ NOPE. I did not let him FINISH. (could be a euphemism?)

And then Mr. NCOhMyGod asked me to prom. 

Not really. It’s a formal. 

While we were at dinner. 

Because that happened–against my better judgment. 

He said it was to celebrate meeting our deadline. As co-workers. I should have said no, but it was end of day and I was borderline hangry. It was just dinner. 

And now… it’s just a formal. As friends. Because I said yes–after saying no. 

What changed my mind? I asked if he was done trying to get me naked. His answer:

“Fuck no. If you said yes right now, I’d take you home and have my way with you. But I’ll settle for a friend-date to the ball.”

He didn’t lie. And that shows some growth. 

What have we learned?

1. Mr. NCOhMyGod 

2. Has

3. Not

4. Acquired

5. A

6. New

7. Target

8. He can catch a pen flying at high velocity toward his head without looking. Who knew?

Pray. For. Me. 

~ your petty Dancing Queen

P.S. It’s official official: Mr. NCOhMyGod and I are a pair. Our working partnership has been extended­. So, til murder or retirement do us part. Because some days I could literally kill him. Today was one of those days. #SavedByTheBall

I screamed. I cringed. I reread the supply closet line five times. I am spiritually concussed.
Also—him texting you in front of the boss?? JAIL. Immediate jail. With conjugal visits. For me.

SoftCheeseDefense says:

“I’ll do the thing you asked for last night”
WITH HIS MOUTH????
Ma’am. This is erotic harassment and I support it fully. 🫡

tooferal4bookclub says:

The way he has zero chill and yet full tactical awareness??
This man is seducing with the precision of a sniper and the confidence of someone who KNOWS he has you. I’d combust.

PettyInInk says:

He does NOT have me.

TheFrankWhisperer says:

Yet. LOL

SpiteSiren says:

Texting OnlyFans-level thirst traps in a staff meeting is both unprofessional and dangerously hot.
Do I hate him? Yes.
Do I want him to ruin my life? Also yes.

Anonymous23 says:

He will definitely ruin her life.

plotspiceaddict says:

‘m sorry. “BOUNCE. ON. EACH. OTHER.”
Who IS this man.
Because I owe him a fruit basket. And maybe my soul.

MyInnerNarratorIsPetty says:

swear you wrote that entire post just to end me. “We were sitting in front of the boss.” dead
My ghost is writing this comment.

chaosonsale says:

There’s something deeply erotic about HR violations if they come from someone with a jawline like that.

fictionallyunwell says:

@chaosonsale I’ve never agreed with a sentence more that also made me question my morals.

sapphicreadsandspice says:

If this isn’t a published book I will personally start a petition. I need to tab the part where she blocks his dirty talk in a STAFF MEETING.
Also I need a scene where he finally shuts up… by using his mouth for something else. 👀

MasterOfTheUniverse36 says:

Same.

RomantasyRageReader says:

The tension is hotter than anything I’ve read in my last five smutty Kindle downloads. And they had dragons.

hornylibrarycard says:

I swear I came here for relatable dating disaster content and now I’m in a one-sided relationship with a man I’ve never met.

booktropeburnout says:

Same. I’d let him ruin my credit score and still thank him with a handwritten note.

RoséOverResume says:

@hornylibrarycard It’s giving “bare minimum but somehow sexy.” I hate it. I’m obsessed.

SaltedCaramelSpite says:

Why does he feel like a man who smells like fresh laundry, regret, and really bad decisions?

CrispyFeministEnergy says:

I want to hate him but he’s out here playing 5D chess with breakfast sandwiches and mouth-based innuendos. 😩 GOALS

BookstoreCryptid says:

highlighted “He didn’t lie. And that shows some growth.” in my soul. That line is going in the therapy folder.

Anonymous23 says:

It’s cute how easily some people confuse persistence for charm. Some lessons get repeated until they finally sink in.

MasterOfTheUniverse36 says:

Sometimes it’s not the lesson that needs to change. Just the teacher.

TheFrankWhisperer says:

@PettyInInk @MasterOfTheUniverse36 This man is out here handing out cryptic dick quotes like he’s Confucius.

PsychMajorWithIssues says:

“Moist” should be illegal in an office. Like that word needs an HR warning label.
Actually, it should be illegal everywhere. Lol

icedmatchaANDmen says:

@PsychMajorWithIssues RIGHT?! I need to submit a workplace trauma report and I don’t even work there.

midsemester.breakdown says:

You just KNOW he did that with zero shame. Full eye contact? Man’s diabolical.

DefaultToPanic says:

This is the kind of content that makes me believe in enemies-to-lovers. Or co-workers-to-co-defendants.

BigFeelingsClub says:

I too would attend a formal out of spite and mild dehydration. Girl math.

DoomscrollAndDestroy says:

Weaponized breakfast sandwiches. Accidental boob grazes. Unsolicited thirst traps.
This isn’t a workplace—it’s a fanfic waiting to happen. And I would read the hell out of it.

DivorcedAndThriving45 says:

God I’m LIVING for these updatesThe breakfast sandwich weaponization is just chef’s kiss brilliant.

MidlifeDatingDetective says:

“He can catch a pen flying at high velocity toward his head without looking” – I’m sorry, did you THROW A PEN at him?? 😂 This is both unhinged and exactly what I would have done. I bow to your chaotic energy.

WorkplaceWarrior35 says:

I am both horrified and deeply entertained. This man is either going to be your husband or a really good [REDACTED]. No in-between.

BookTokBabe says:

“Supply closet in five minutes?” OMG this is straight out of the enemies-to-lovers trope and I am HEEEERE for it!

PettyInInk says:

We do NOT have a supply closet.

MasterOfTheUniverse36 says:

But if there were one…

ur.fav.barista says:

the pen throwing sent me into orbit 💀 you’re literally living the wattpad fantasy millions of girls are dreaming about rn

MasterOfTheUniverse36 says:

I bet he enjoyed every second.

PettyInInk says:

Oh, you have NO idea. He was living for it.

TheFrankWhisperer says:

@PettyInInk You need to stop wearing padded bras to work now. That’s the most action those girls have had in a VERY long time LOL

MasterOfTheUniverse36 says:

@TheFrankWhisperer @PettyInInk I agree with the bra part.

PettyInInk says:

@MasterOfTheUniverse36 I don’t know who you are or where you’re from, but I will find you and END you.

MasterOfTheUniverse36 says:

@PettyInInk Bet

PettyInInk says:

@MasterOfTheUniverse36 (middle finger emoji)

MasterOfTheUniverse36 says:

@MasterOfTheUniverse36 I don’t know who you are or where you’re from, but I will find you and END you.

MasterOfTheUniverse36 says:

@TheFrankWhisperer @PettyInInk I agree with the bra part.

PettyInInk says:

@MasterOfTheUniverse36 I don’t know who you are or where you’re from, but I will find you and END you.

BoundaryEnforcement35 says:

My professional advice? Get some. Respectfully.

FortyAndFabulous says:

Am I the only one who wants to know more about these “OnlyFans style pics”? Like, are we talking shirtless or are we talking SHIRTLESS? #sendpics

DaddyOfDaughters: says:

As a father, I should be appalled. As a man who remembers dating, I am impressed by this guy’s persistence and creativity. The breakfast sandwich move? golf clap. That’s commitment.

MidLifeCatLady says:

Ah yes, the classic workplace romance dilemma: murder or marriage. I’ve been there three times. Currently single with four cats. Sigh.

absolutely.vibing says:

i just audibly gasped in the middle of my lecture when i read “come in your—” GIRLLLL 💀💀

CorporateNomad22 says:

Nothing bonds coworkers like sexual tension.

RetiredRanger42 says:

This man is tactical. The breakfast sandwich was a calculated strike designed to catch you off guard. The “friend date” is pure strategy – a flanking maneuver. I recognize these tactics. He’s good.

ThinkingMan_01 says:

This man is not looking for friendship. I repeat, NOT looking for friendship. Source: Am man, have used “friend date” line.

caffeinated.thinker says:

the way i would’ve spontaneously combusted when he said “I’ll do the thing you asked for last night. With my mouth.” like???? is this man for real???

MasterOfTheUniverse36 says:

Yes.

SingleMomClub says:

 “We do not bounce on each other” is killing me 😂

tech_girltm says:

i would like to submit a formal request for the “much less” thanks bye

PsychMajorWithIssues says:

@tech_girltm I’m in a psychology program and can confirm we need these images for a study on modern mating rituals. It’s for science.

PettyInInk says:

@PsychMajorWithIssues DELETED

PsychMajorWithIssues says:

@PettyInInk Lol You have like 30 days to undelete tho

MasterOfTheUniverse36 says:

@PsychMajorWithIssues She did not delete.

PettyInInk: says:

@MasterOfTheUniverse36 I did.

PsychMajorWithIssues says:

@MasterOfTheUniverse36 I don’t think she did either. LOLLL

TheFrankWhisperer says:

@MasterOfTheUniverse36 Can confirm: SHE DID NOT DELETE!

PettyInInk says:

@TheFrankWhisperer I’m done with all of you.

RecentlyDivorced says:

I am BEGGING you to live THIS for all of us.

SilverFoxLady says:

This one’s not playing games. Well, he’s playing sexy games, but he’s not playing GAMES games. I’d kill for that kind of attention!

YorkshireBookBuddy says:

I’m betting $50 you’ll be doing more than “bouncing on each other” by chapter 15.

PettyInInk says:

@YorkshireBookBuddy Sir. I take Venmo. Because THAT is NOT gonna happen. #fetch

MasterOfTheUniverse36 says:

@YorkshireBookBuddy Got $100 on it.

vibin.not.stressin says:

the fact that you threw a pen at him and his response was to catch it and keep flirting is honestly king behavior no notes

WayTooSingleAtForty says:

Just screamed so loud at “saved by the ball” I AM NOT OKAY. This saga is everything.

LuxuryLifestyle_LA says:

Cute. I’ll just grab the popcorn and wait for the post where he ghosts you. That’s what he’s like.

Johnny_Utah says:

@LuxuryLifestyle_LA Physically not possible. They work together.

MarriedButNosy says:

Twenty years of marriage and I would trade it all for ONE DAY of this kind of sexual tension. (Don’t tell my husband I said that.)

alt.girl.energy says:

omg the way you described him as “Lieutenant LipService” and “Sergeant McSextsMe” has me WHEEZING rn. this is god tier content 🔥

MilitaryBratGone40 says:

the dangerous ones are the ones who can catch objects without looking while maintaining eye contact. It’s a whole different level of situational awareness. 😍

DivorcedDadOf3 says:

When a man says “only if I can come in your—” and you stop him, he’s not thinking about friendship. Just to be clear.

BetterWithWine says:

💀 Girl, you need to write a book when this is all over. Or better yet, let this man write the foreword. I bet he’s good with words.

PettyInIn says:

@BetterWithWine There’s a reason I call him Lt. LipService.

MasterOfTheUniverse36 says:

@PettyInInk He’d probably like to give you a different reason to call him that.

BetterWithWine says:

@MasterOfTheUniverse36 Right? She should let him. #TeamLetsGetItOn

PettyInInk says:

@MasterOfTheUniverse36 Yes. He would. @BetterWithWine No. I shouldn’t.

MasterOfTheUniverse36 says:

@PettyInInk “Shouldn’t” isn’t a “wouldn’t.” So, by default, that’s a maybe.

PettyInInk says:

@MasterOfTheUniverse36 (middle finger emoji)

TheFrankWhisperer says:

@PettyInInk  @MasterOfTheUniverse36 just out here stating FACTS! #TeamLetsGetItOn

PettyInInk says:

 @TheFrankWhisperer Yes, but WHO IS HE?

MasterOfTheUniverse36 says:

@PettyInInk Just enjoying the show. #TeamLetsGetItOn

RealTalk_Steve says:

Dudes like this don’t waste this much energy on women they don’t actually like.

Gotta respect the game. The breakfast sandwich move? Elite level. The pen catch? Olympic tier. Mans is putting in WORK.

TeachingAndTired says:

“pen flying at high velocity” SENT ME

RomComQueen83 says:

The sexual tension! The banter! The inappropriate texts during a meeting! I’m swooning.

aesthetic.girlll says:

omg pls tell me you’re getting your hair and nails done for this ball!! this is your princess diaries moment!! ✨👑

HikingEnthusiast44 says:

I’ve climbed mountains less steep than the sexual tension in this post. The view at the summit was also less satisfying than reading this update.

ProfessionalOverthinker says:

Am I the only one wondering what would have happened if you’d said yes to the supply closet? Actually, don’t tell me. My imagination is having a field day already.

PettyInInk says:

@ProfessionalOverthinker Nothing. We don’t have one. So I win either way.

ProfessionalOverthinker says:

@PettyInInk Haha.

Grlll.gone.mild says:

i would literally DIE if a hot coworker sent me spicy pics during a meeting with the boss. like actual flatline. how did you keep a straight face??

PettyInInk says:

@Grlll.gone.mild I’ve had literal weeks of intense on the job training.

DatingDisasterSurvivor says:

If this saga doesn’t end with you two “bouncing on each other,” I will personally write an alternate ending where it does. #TeamGetItOnAlready

CommandingPresence85 says:

It’s not harassment if you throw things at him first.

SingleDogMom says:

Please tell me you’re going shopping for a dress that will make his eyes pop out cartoon-style.

JustBrowsingHere says:

Taking bets on how long into the formal before they find a “supply closet”! My money’s on 45 minutes.

MasterOfTheUniverse36 says:

@JustBrowsingHere She’s won’t be that easy. I’ll give it an hour.

TheFrankWhisperer says:

@MasterOfTheUniverse36 Less.

MasterOfTheUniverse36 says:

@TheFrankWhisperer Bet.

VeryMarriedButNosy says:

“Fuck no. If you said yes right now, I’d take you home and have my way with you.” I just whispered “oh my god” girl I AM NOT OKAY. This man does not mince words! The way I’d fall for him on the spot!

CaffeineAndChaos22 says:

Just HOWLED at the pen throwing revelation.

PreMedProcrastinator: says:

This blog teaches me more about human behavior than any textbook.

tequila.thoughts says:

the way i would’ve melted into the floor when he caught that pen mid-air… military reflexes are a whole different level of hot 🥵

DaddyOfDaughters says:

I should disapprove.But I’m taking notes for my next date night with my wife. The breakfast sandwich move? chef’s kiss

BookishMama35 says:

I’m simultaneously clutching my pearls and fanning myself. This is everything my marriage isn’t and I am HERE for it!

sk8r.boi.2000 says:

this dude’s got more game than my entire college dorm combined, putting us to shame

RecentlyRetired65 says:

I’ve never seen harassment this creative.

PettyInInk says:

Johhny_Utah says:

@MasterOfTheUniverse36 Got it. LOL

TherapistInTraining says:

From a professional perspective, this is textbook sexual tension with boundary testing. From a woman’s perspective, GET IT GIRL.

PsychMajorWithIssues says:

Please keep throwing pens at him and updating us.

PettyInInk says:

@PsychMajorWithIssues Say less.

crypto.king.2003 says:

gen.z.and.confused says:

not me taking screenshots of all these lines to use on my situationship 📝📱 “I’ll do the thing you asked for last night. With my mouth.” is GENIUS

MasterOfTheUniverse36 says:

MasterOfTheUniverse36 @gen.z.and.confused That’s not a line you use unless you intend to keep her.

gen.z.and.confused says:

@MasterOfTheUniverse36 Lol. I’ll save it then

YoungProfessional27 says:

Still the workplace romance of my dreams. #TEAMLETSGETITON

MilitaryMomof4 says:

Between the open bar and the dress uniforms, prepare yourself.

TheRealDeal says:

If this isn’t made into a movie starring Anne Hathaway as you and Chris Evans as Mr. NCOhMyGod, I will riot in the streets.

TheFrankWhisperer says:

@TheRealDeal NOT CHRIS EVANS! Gerard Butler. Or Henry Cavill. Pee Wee Herman. Literally ANYONE WHO IS NOT CHRIS EVANS.

TheRealDeal says:

@TheFrankWhisperer One of the Hemsworth brothers? Michael Fassbender? The guy that was Loki in the marvel movies.

MasterOfTheUniverse36 says:

@TheFrankWhisperer Not Pee Wee Herman!

PettyInInk says:

@TheFrankWhisperer I can’t believe I’m about to do this, but I’m with @MasterOfTheUniverse36 on this one. Not Pee Wee Herman. But also there will not be a movie.

MasterOfTheUniverse36 says:

@PettyInInk Looks like we have something in common.

TheRealDeal says:

@TheFrankWhisperer That’s a good one. But he’s not a tree.
