You are the most beautiful piece of temp...

You are the most beautiful piece of temptation I have ever seen. You with your sweet curves. Your masterful artistry. You are perfection...and you are evil. To give in to you would cause me days, nay years of heartache. Oh, to taste the delectable pleasure of your confection. The delightful light and airy flavor of your texture. No, I mustn't. I must be strong. Wedding season is coming and if I'm ever to be more than a bridesmaid, I need to be free from this temptation. Swimsuit season is upon us and my thighs cannot handle the excess jiggle that would be caused by my indulging. But you are so beautiful. Staring at me with your seductive glance. I should leave this breakroom at once and find the person who is trying to sabotage and ruin my self-control. I bet it was Jean. Jogging Jean with her perfect ponytail and perfectly sculpted body.

"Oh, I simply cannot keep this inside my house. I brought it in to share." She's evil. Just as evil as you, my perfect little temptress. The longer I stare at you the more my longing grows. Life's too short they say. Something about the people on the Titanic passing over the dessert tray.

(Realizes something)

What if this is it? What if today I step out of the office and I get hit by a bus and my last dying thought will be how I let you go? No, what a way to die. Maybe just a little. One bite.

(Takes a bite)

I hate myself already.
