I work for an MNC. There's a girl who happens to be 7 yrs younger than me. Every day she used to come to me in the morning and greet with a smile. I used to be shy and introvert .. focused on my career. But soon I grown a liking for this girl. And we became friends. Good friends. We shared a great friendly relationship until few days back.
We went for an outing that included some closely knit office colleagues. She was there too. I started drinking from the beginning. While playing truth and dare in the morning, I just couldn't take her name as someone who I could take to my mother as a companion, and instead said another girl's name of the same group, present there.
We again started drinking in the evening. While it was around 10 pm, we went towards the beach. We were staring at ghe sky. Trying naming the clouds using our imagination. Somehow due to the waves, we came closer, and I touched her. It aroused a strong feeling inside me, and I tried to kiss her. I completely lost it. She moved away and went inside.
However, during night, when we were again drinking, she came down and sat beside me. Then again went. Again she came and pulled my cheek badly. Again, sat beside me and started drinking and taking with the group. Then she poured her glass into mine and started drinking from mine.
At night, there was no place in the room. So I went and slept beside her. There were around 6-7 ppl present.
We were all drunk, so we slept. At the wee hours of the day, as I woke up, I found my right hand to be over her waist. She was sleeping and looking beautiful. I just couldn't move my hand and again slept that way.
As we came back, she stopped talking to me altogether. As I pinged her saying sorry, she didn't reply, which was very unusual. Her other friends also stopped talking to me. So I pinged her again and again asked for forgiveness. I asked if we could once again share the healthy relationship we had even a few days ago. She denied. Told me she doesn't even want to. After a couple of days, she along with 4 other friends of her who were present that night chased me and shammed me like anything. I felt my life's greatest embarrassment that day. They threatened me to take this to the management, spoil my reputation, and end my career. Later they said, they won't do that but asked me to stay away from that girl and never ever try to contact her.
It was so painful that I got ill. However, I want to undo what has been done. I really grown a liking for the girl. I don't want to lose her. At least her friendship. Is there any way I can rectify everything?
