Don’t know how to feel about the “distraction”

I found the girl of my dreams, however due to our circumstances of employment (not technically coworkers) she would be liable for a lot of grief if her work found out we were dating. Understandably so, that’s been consistently the reason I was told no we can’t date. Well fast forward a month and now she’s texting me all the time. We hang out in group settings a few times, then finally decide to have a long date and talk about everything. We vibe so well, and then I ask her when she started to like me. She told me well the work thing but also there was a “distraction”. It was a guy that’s deployed that she has known for years and said after chatting for a bit she decided nope he’s not the one. She reflected and realized I have what she’s looking for if she can just look past the grief of work finding out about us. (I have a large account at her store). I honestly feel great now that things are moving and we couldn’t possibly get along better. I just can’t help but have my teenage years of jealousy creep into the thoughts sometimes. Thoughts? Anyone been in her position before or mine?
