the cute girl next to my office (wilbur soot x reader)

chapter one

y/n pov

i grunted in anger as i struggled to find inspiration for writing my book. writers block, right now? what's even worse is that i'm just at the good part too, i thought i would fly past this.

whatever, it's lunch anyways. i might aswell grab some food and hopefully muster up enough inspiration to get me through today. i quickly shut off my computer and grabbed my coat, phone, keys and wallet. i don't plan to be out for too long.

i double checked the door was locked and left. whilst putting my coat on, i mentally prepared myself for the wave of cool breeze that would soon hit me.

as i left, i grimaced at the rain clouds up in the sky. it'll be pouring soon - i'll need to hurry.

i hastily walked to the local cafe and smiled at the owner. claire was her name, she was nice. we've talked a few times, we have a lot in common.

i walked up to the counter and ordered a coffee and a cookie. i then sat down at a small table in the corner, and waited. (idk i've never been to a coffee shop, is this how it works?)

as i waited, i slowly spaced out. i was daydreaming about the current scene i'm writing in my book, and pondering what to do next. a waiter placed down my coffee and a cookie, snapping me out of my thoughts. i thanked her gratefully and started eating.

i glanced across the shop and noticed this cool looking lanky guy ordering at the counter. he caught my eye. he had beautiful fluffy brown hair that escaped from his beanie. the boy also had these captivating amber eyes, they locked for a moment, before i turned away.

i focused on brainstorming ideas for my book whilst simping my drink and occasionally taking a bite of my cookie. once i had settled on an idea for my book, i then redirected my attention to finishing my food and drink.

i walked out of the cafe. as i stepped outside, i sighed to see it was tipping down. well, here we go.

i stepped into the rain and started legging it to the offices. it should take roughly 2 minutes, which means i wont get too soaked, right?

wrong.

i arrived 2 minutes later at the office, dripping like i just took a shower in all of my clothes. i didn't even want to imagine what i looked like - a wreck, probably.

i heard a chuckle from across the room. i looked up to see alex, the office owner.

"looks like somebody got soaked"

"shut up" i joked

i quickly pushed a stray hair out of my face.

"how are you doing?" i asked

"pretty good. last night ava said her first word. it was mama."

"aww that's so cute! i hope i can see her again soon. i haven't seen her since she was a newborn." i beamed

"yeah we'll have to arrange that. anyways, i'll let you get back to work - i know how busy you are!"

"alright, talk later?"

"sure" alex replied

just as i was about to leave, alex quickly called out to me.

"wait before you leave, you know that guy in the office next to you? i think he's called wilbur soot."

(yes ik his real name is william gold he just goes as wilbur soot so we're keeping that)

"yeah, what about him?"

"oh well yesterday he came up to me and said 'do you know that cute girl next to my office?'. i told him your name, and he just thanked me and walked off. it was an interesting exchange."

"oh that's - um - interesting? nevertheless, thank you for telling me and have a nice day!"

"anytime" he exclaimed as i walked out the door

as i walked to my office, his words echoed through my head. 'cute', me? that wilbur guy must be on something.

i shook it off as i started up my computer again and started tapping away. with my writers block gone, and some peace and quiet, i may actually finish this chapter by tonight. i'm on a roll.

my concentration remained unbroken, until a loud thud was heard through the walls connecting me to another office, 30 minutes later.

really, right now?

another thud was heard. i grunted in annoyance. after a few minutes of repeated thuds and screaming, i finally got up and left my office to stand outside his door.

i knocked on his door and stood waiting for the person to open it. the door swung open to reaveal that proper fit guy from the coffee shop.

"uh, hi? is anything up?"

"yes actually. you have been constantly banging and screaming for the past 10 minutes. this is extremely disruptive and i would appreciate it if you could calm down. what job requires you to scream so much anyways?" i insisted admantly.

"oh i'm sorry about that. i'll be more quiet. also, forget about my job - it's complicated. again, really sorry about that."

this guy sounded so apologetic. i almost  felt sorry before remembering how distracting he is to my work.

"it's fine, just don't do it again"

with that, i spun on my heel and walked back to my office. i shut the door behind me and had a quick sigh of relief. i hate being rude to people, but otherwise they don't listen.

i looked at the time. 6PM. the office shuts at 10. after that random burst of motivation, i finished that chapter and even started the next. since i'm ahead of schedule, i can have an early night. might aswell treat myself, eh?

i powered off my laptop and grabbed my things. i put my coat on and turned off the lights. i locked my room, and walked down the stairs to exit the building and walked to my car. i felt quite accomplished that day, a day well spent.

once i got to my car, i turned the heating on to warm it up. godamn winter gets so dark and cold early. once the car was warm, i started the 10 minute drive to my house. along the way i listened to the radio, nothing interesting. my favourite song came on, and i turned up the volume so i could scream the lyrics.

when i got home, i chucked my things on the sofa and ordered a (insert favourite takeout). nothing better than some takeout to end off the night.

when i finished the food, i had a shower and did some self care. by 10PM, i was tired and ready to hit the hay. i layed down in my bed and felt myself start to drift off. it's nice, not taking an hour to fall asleep.
(not exaggerating, it takes me an hour to fall asleep)
