Part 13 -
I worked like someone with hellhounds on his heels –hee hee- the remaining of the day. I kept my head buried in paperwork, not looking up once. Okay. So I’m lying through my teeth. After I came back from the boss’s office, I found him already in his seat, which just happened to be in clear view of my own. Gahh!! I couldn’t help but glance at him. Fortunately, he didn’t see me staring. Hee hee. So yeah, I was about to go out to lunch, when I saw someone pass my desk, and a little piece of paper fall onto the multitude of others I was currently working on. Eh? Curiosity killed the cat. Can you see the whiskers twitching? Damn it. I unfolded the note and scanned the scribble. “Why are you staring at me? Am I that handsome? ;-) Why were you so surprised in the elevator? Write me a note, I’m bored =)” I could only gape at the note, not really knowing what to think.

“Who. Is. He.” I barely restrained myself form growling at Agnes. I guess I wasn’t making too much sense because she looked at me funny. Well, I was angry. Excuse me. “Little guy. Hat. Green sweater.” I bit out each word. Dark, tight pants. Cute glasses. WHAT!?!? Picture a pit bull foaming from the mouth and feel my wrath, muahahahhaa!!! “Kito.” She hadn’t opened her mouth though. “Arrhhh!!” I twisted around, trying not to burn up in shame after having screamed like a girl. “YOU!” “Me.” He didn’t seem worried that he was being glared at by someone a foot taller than him. And he had the nerve to grin at me with the cutest of grins. Gahhh!!!! My mouth opened and closed a few times with no sound coming out. Well, I didn’t exactly know what I was supposed to say anyway. So I just clenched my fists and stormed away, the sound of giggling echoing behind my back. Please don’t ask me who it belonged to.

I had forgotten lunch in the whole deal. And now the restaurant/café was closed. Well, no it wasn’t, but it had stopped serving warm lunch. So I sat at my desk, licking every little crumb of the croissant I had bought instead. I was still hungry. Damn it. I think I should go buy another one before I faint from undernourishment. Don’t laugh. I get dizzy when I miss two meals. *coughcough* latetowork.forgotbreakfast*coughcough*. So yeah. And when I got back, I had a brilliant idea. I simply pulled my chair out from behind the desk, and brought it back on the other side, sitting down on it with a huge smile. Ha! Now I won’t be caught accidentally looking at him. Yes yes, ladies and gents, it had always been on pure accidents that my eyes wandered toward him. See, he was now sitting where before there was an empty place. Thus, I had taken the habit of staring at said place when in deep concentration, so as not to freak anyone by staring at them too long while I was away in lala land. But since he now occupied that place, I still glanced there by pure habit. *nods*. But now that I’m facing the other way, I won’t do it anymore. Brilliant, don’t you think? Ha! Except that now he could be staring at me all he wanted, and plotting some devious scheme to embarrass me again. No, no. I’m just being paranoid. He won’t do anything. Then why am I feeling as if I was being watched? It’s the boss, checking up on you and your weird behavior. Have to take a look. No. Yes. No!! I turned around, just in time to see a grin bloom on that…that… silly little guy’s face. A second later, he brought a paper up and like the idiot I am, I read it. “No note?” He just had to accompany that with a little pout and huge puppy eyes. Gahh!!! Someone help meee!!! I whipped back around, my heavy breathing almost loud enough to cover his snickering. Oh my god. This was not happening. Who was this guy? How had I ever thought he was beautiful? Because he is. I think I made a little too much noise when I let my head bang on the table. Anyway, if he wanted to play this stupid game, then fine. As I walked over to the copy machine, I passed by his table and let a slip of paper drop on his desk. Too bad I wasn’t looking at him though. I would have loved to see his face at that moment. No! Not like that! I just bet he was surprised at what it said. *evil cackle*. I wasn’t expecting him to grab my arm as I was going back to my place though. That almost gave me a heart attack. Sheesh. Jumpy today, aren’t we? “I will, if that is your wish.” His face didn’t hold any expression. Err, did I? Want him to? Leave me alone, that is? That was what I had written in the note, by the way. I … err… I don’t know. I was too confused. So I just walked away without saying a word. I spent the rest of that day thinking about that little incident. Did I want him to leave me alone? I wasn’t sure whether I was ready to do a self examination here. It’s terrifying to be your own therapist. I know that from previous experiences. So yeah, I remember the time I first saw him and my jaw had almost hit the pavement. I hadn’t believed my eyes at how beautiful he had been then. And he still was. I had let my embarrassment and anger and annoyance cloud that fact. He was also a silly ball of energy. A plain annoying one at that. Or was it I that was annoying because I didn’t want him to know how I felt toward him? I simply don’t know. I needed time for my emotions to sort themselves out without my aid. Yes. Just leave this little problem simmer a little. Excellent idea. Why was I so sad then after reading his last little note of the day? “I’m sorry if I made you angry. It was not my intent. I will leave you alone then.” ~*~*~ |
