I'm so embarrassed! Advice on how to handle this?

Namechanged to save my blushes!

OK, here is a bit of background to this situation!

I have been in my job for three months, I share an office with this guy and its just the two of us, he is single so am I. Ever since I started this job we have got on famously, we literally take the mick out of each other all day, he is not gorgeous but there is something about him! He is mildly arrogant which I find attractive and I've been told he likes me to, but so far nothing has happened/been mentioned!

Anyway, cue my embarrassment .... it was the Xmas do last night, best friend and I get all dolled up and go and meet work colleagues, it was a bit dire to begin with they took us to some ropey old smelly pubs but it did get better especially when we hit the 80's bar! I had far to much wine, I wasn't hammered but lets just say I was loose lipped!! BF said he was watching my every move, especially when I was talking to some men and seemed put out!

So I can remember saying the following ..... his bum looked good in his jeans (it did), I thought he was lovely and then I asked him to kiss me! Oh my god the shame! He didn't say no but said he would when I was leaving, I was holding his hand and talking crap and I'm so embarrassed!

So, what the hell do say or how do I act on Tuesday when I go into the office I was thinking if he mentions it I will just admit it all instead of passing it off as drunken ramblings, or should I pass it off as being plastered! The other thing that bothers me is all the other guys had said they thought we would 'get it together' on this night (I'm not supposed to know this), so I'm praying he hasn't told them! What if he says he likes me to, how on earth can anything happen when we sit in the same office, surely this wouldn't work? (I can't move offices either)

Help .......?

I would just say "oh you know what its like when you have a few all sorts of things get said........." and leave it at that.

Pass it off on being drunk, hazy on details.

Since I've had dd, I have found I am much more black and white about things.
So, if you are interested, I'd say, I need to talk to you about the other night, I was disinhibited, but none of it was a lie....
And if you aren't I would say that it was the alcohol talking and that you aren't interested and that you value him as a colleague and frined and you hope he will in time be able to see you as you were before.
I guess, before children, I realised that there were games that are played... but since then, I have no tolerance for it.

Update ......

I couldn't sleep for worrying about it, so first thing this morning I phoned him! He was also embarassed, I told him I was sorry, I did think he was lovely and he has a got a fit bum, but the other stuff was drunk talk! He said he was embarassed because apparently he had been looking at my boobs all night and thought I'd noticed, so we agreed to no longer be embarassed!

Phew, now I can go work only slightly embarassed!!
