I Let Them Think I’m Innocent 🤭

I think people trust quiet girls far too easily.

If you’re soft-spoken, polite, feminine, and look like you’ve got yourself together, people tend to decide who you are almost immediately.

The sweet one.

The innocent one.

The good girl in the office who keeps her head down and behaves herself.

And honestly?

I usually let them think that.

Why wouldn’t I?

It makes things much more fun for me.

Because the truth is, I’ve never really been as innocent as I look. I just happen to be very good at looking like I am.

That’s the difference.

People hear a soft voice and assume soft thoughts.

Meanwhile my brain is somewhere completely inappropriate half the time.

And nobody around me would ever guess.

Which is probably why I enjoy it as much as I do.

I can sit there looking completely well-behaved, listening politely, acting exactly how I’m expected to… while my mind has wandered off entirely because someone loosened their tie slightly or rolled their sleeves up without thinking about it.

It really doesn’t take much.

And once my thoughts start drifting, they tend to drift a little too far.

Especially in offices.

I’ve always liked office environments more than I probably should.

Everyone acts so composed on the surface, but there’s always something underneath if you pay attention properly.

The eye contact that lasts a second too long.

The confidence.

The quiet tension.

The little smirks people try to hide.

And maybe I notice those things more than most girls would.

Or maybe I just enjoy noticing them more.

I’ve always had a soft spot for men who are calm, confident, and completely aware of themselves without needing to perform for attention. The kind who don’t need to be loud to hold a room.

That’s far more distracting to me than people realise.

Especially when they’re older, well dressed, and know exactly what they’re doing.

Which probably explains a lot, actually.

The funny part is nobody expects any of this from me.

That’s what makes it entertaining.

People see the quiet office girl and assume they’ve got me figured out. Meanwhile I’m sitting there looking sweet and innocent while thinking things that definitely don’t match the image.

And I won’t lie…

I do like getting away with it.

I like that nobody would guess what goes through my head sometimes.

I like that people underestimate me.

I like that I can look completely put together while being a little less well-behaved underneath than anyone would expect.

Not everything has to be obvious to be real.

Sometimes the most fun things are the ones nobody notices.

Or almost notices.

Which is why I’ll always say this:

Watch out for the quiet ones.

We’re usually nowhere near as innocent as we look.

Mwah,
