Upon Meeting You

34

I felt bad for taking so long to post the last time so here you go:)

*A week later*

"Stop!" Ms. Davis giggles under her breathe as her and Wilhelm joke around at the copier. I wait impatiently as they flirt with one another, hogging up the entire machine.

"Other people work here too, you know?" I finally speak up causing the two of them to look back at me. I lift the papers in my hand and form a get the fuck out of my way face expression, causing Wilhelm to smirk.

"Relax a bit Lenora... Your face is starting to wrinkle."

Fucker.

He strides out of the room and Ms. Davis hastily gathers her papers.  Before she could make it out the door I speak up.

"Ms. Davis?" She turns around. "Did you know that fraternizing with a supervisor could very well get you fired?" Her eyes open in shock as I attempt to scare her away from Wilkes. "Although I can't see Mr. Daine firing you as he's involved as well, enough complaints would get him to think it over." I speak casually as I put my papers in the machine. "And I'm pretty sure I keep overhearing rumors and complaints about the two of you being at such a close proximity." That's a lie. "I'd be careful if I were you. Personally I'd never throw away my career over a man." I shrug and turn away from her, grinning. I hear her turn around and leave the room quickly.

"Well that was amusing." Wilhelm speaks up.

"Were you eavesdropping?" I ask appalled as I watch him walk back into the room.

"Why no." He places a hand upon his chest. "I simply noticed my shoe was untied as I was leaving the room and stopped to fix it." I look down to his feet.

"You have no laces." I state. He responds with a smirk and winks at me before leaving the room.

"So how's Kendric?" Wilhelm comes into my office unannounced as I work. I keep my eyes on the computer screen while responding.

"I don't know what you mean."

"Is he still satisfying you or do you miss me yet?"

"I don't miss you." I speak annoyed.

"I have a hard time believing that." He smirks and sits on my desk to my right. He partially blocks the view of my computer screen, entirely interrupting my work. I cave and turn my chair slightly to the right, and look at him.

"Can I help you?" I ask annoyed.

"Maybe. Are you coming to the office Christmas party on Friday?"

"I'd much rather spend my time elsewhere." I lean back into my chair. It's weird, sitting so close to him while having a normal conversation.

"Like where?"

"Anywhere." He rolls his eyes at this response.

"You can bring Dear Kendric if you'd like..."

"There's no reason to." I shrug.

"Why not?" He becomes amused.

"We broke up after that little stunt of yours." I become irritated.

"The one that ended with you throwing a binder at my head or the one that ended with my face between your thighs?" He raises a brow, still grinning. I clasp my thighs together at the memory. He notices.

"Well aren't you forward?"

"Always have been. You can't hide your feelings from me, Lenora... I know you too well."
