Hot Halloween Hook-Up

Here’s a hot Halloween hook-up story from a HOT or NOT user…and she did it at the office party! Very nice, we approve.

You know how parties and romance (and/or drunkenness) often mix? Well, Halloween parties are no exception. If anything, the mystery and intrigue surrounding a party where everyone is costume-clad gets amped up even more than usual.

Several years ago, I was working for a company that took Halloween very seriously. They threw a huge party and went all-out – it was the sort of party where you’d feel lame if you showed up costume-less. I was doing my best green fairy.  Needless to say, this party also involved an open bar and a damn good dj. It’s comical to compare the first hour of the party (overdone co-workers boasting blood, guts, and masks milling around awkwardly, sort of mingling, drinking beers as quickly as possible) to the fourth hour (full-on club mode, everyone is drunk enough to be grooving) to the sixth hour (the numbers have dwindled, and a whole bunch of people end up in the office proper for more booze and the president of the company ends up with his pants down – photo evidence of this was deleted from the email system by IT just hours later).

Somewhere between hour 3 and 4, I cross paths with the cute guy who sits on my floor. We drunkenly flirted at the last party but hadn’t spoken since despite the tension between us (which was palpable, according to my imagination). I’d been watching him across the floor throughout the night, sort of willing him to come and talk to me, and here he was. But instead of saying anything, he offered his hand. I took and it and we began to dance (it was probably more like drunken swaying). We got more drinks a bit later on, and I can’t even remember what we talked about. We got back to dancing.

Somewhere between hours 4 and 5, I decided a ballsy, drunk move was in order. We locked lips. For some reason I opened my eyes mid-kiss only to see my boss’s boss standing several feet to the left of us and laughing (I couldn’t look him in the eye for two months after) but I just shut my eyes and went back to smooching my crush. We left the party shortly after.

I didn’t want to show my face at work the next day because I knew this would be a hot topic in the rumor mill and I don’t normally like being the center of attention. I learned my lesson, and managed to find an abandoned cubicle far from the party before making out with another guy I was crushing on at the following year’s Halloween party.
