I felt awkward when I saw the HVAC technician in the restaurant.

I had recently had my air conditioning unit repaired, and it took the HVAC technician about two hours to complete the job.

The entire time the HVAC technician was at the house, I was offering him iced tea and iced water.

He was so cute they I couldn’t stay away from. I also couldn’t believe I was flirting with him, and he was ignoring me. I considered going upstairs and putting on my bikini and doing some sunbathing. I was really glad I changed my mind about that when I walked into a restaurant a week later, and the HVAC technician was there. Had he been there doing work, I would not have felt so awkward. He was sitting at a very private table with a beautiful woman, and he had eyes for no one but her. I asked for a table that was far enough away from him he would not see me, but the maître d’ said he had nothing. My best friend and I ended up sitting just three tables away from the HVAC technician. I quickly jumped in the seat that wasn’t facing him, because I was praying he wouldn’t recognize me. I soon realized why he was ignoring my flirting. I admired him for being the man he was, but I still felt foolish. When the HVAC technician got up and took his wife’s arm, I thought he was going to pass by and my embarrassment would be over. Instead, he turned back around and said how nice it was to see me again, introduced his wife, and walked away.
