I Think They're Doin It

I'm starting to wonder about a couple of my co-workers. They are pretty cozy together. Not just a little cozy. A lot. They always go out to lunch together. Always work together on projects. Always socialize together. They're pretty touchy-feeley. (Is that how it's spelled?)

The woman is recently married. She and her husband lived together for some time before being married. She works, he's in school full time.

The guy is engaged. He's been living with his girl. They bought a house together within the past year. She owns him. No, that's not a sexist remark. She has him take days off so he can help her finish projects, has him shopping and cooking and cleaning. It's like all she wants is a handyman/sex toy, as long as he doesn't disagree with her about anything. (He tells all his secrets at work. People shouldn't do that.)

These two seem like an unlikely couple. She's short, he's tall. She's loud, he's quiet. She's silly, he's got quite the temper. She's smart, he's kind of smart. It's got people in this building wondering.

Maybe the speculation is unwarranted. I like to float through the area listening to others talk about stuff like this. I don't pursue information. I just catch bits and pieces. Normally I won't get involved with the gossip mongers. But sometimes it is fun.

If they are, that's their business. If they're not, that's their business too. One way or the other, it is making for some interesting 'water-cooler' discussions.
