Pick and choose

Chapter 3

I slow my jog down to a walk and make my way to the room. As I enter the building I get stopped by Thomas " Hey are you following me?" He says jokingly squinting. "Yeah absolutely." I chuckle. " Nah I'm just going to a seminar like you. Maybe it's the same one?" I say shrugging. I never saw myself as A stalker, it almost sounds funny.

He raises one of his bushy eyebrows and shrugs walking beside me. Now that I see him standing he's a little shorter than me. I'm 5'8 and I think he's about 5'5 or 5'4. We walk into the seminar room and sit next to each other. " I'm gonna be honest. You're the only person I know in here" I whisper. "That's okay (Y/N) we can hang out." He whispered putting on glasses.

I snicker "How old are you 65?" I say flicking my pencil. " Actually I just turned 52," he says in an old man's voice putting his glasses on his nose and squinting.  he and I laugh. quietly and he adjusts his glasses. His laugh feels dark and sounds tormented "But seriously how old are you? I ask scribbling words. "I'm only 24 and I'm a little short-sighted." He chuckles. "Well old man I'm 22. I guess your my elder" I joke. "Haha very funny you youngin" he jokes back. I smile and listen to the seminar and scribbling notes. As the seminar ends  Tommy and I compare notes. His handwriting is really nice and so is he. He feels like one of those people I can get a drink with and do karaoke. "Hey is it okay that I call you Tommy? I hope we can be good friends" I say writing on sticky notes. "Yeah of course and I'd like us to be good friends too." He smiles and we leave the building and find Micheal. We walk over to Micheal and he's manspreading on a bench texting. That man is blessed. I can see an outline of cock in his pants thick and hang down his leg.

 I had to regain my composure and walk over to him. Keep it cool. Smooth "Hey there panda bear" what the fuck is wrong with me. He chuckles and looks away from his phone. "Panda bear?" He says chuckling. His laugh sounds so warm and inviting. " I don't know man. " I say nervously shrugging. " Her heads a little out of place after that long-ass seminar. I know mine is." Tommy chuckles putting his bag down. "Yeaah it was long and boring. " I say sitting next to Tommy. Thank god for him making excuses for me. I owe him one. " I get it. Hey, you guys free the rest of the day?" Michael asks chewing gum. "no I'm free." Tommy admits pulling his hair past his ears. "Yeah, me too," I say looking at my schedule. "Well, not anymore. We're going to a party tonight." Micheal says smiling.
