The perfect "Thief" || HEROPHINE

8. Connections

Today is my first day of work at CT and I have less than 6 hours of sleep in my body.
The reason of my no sleep? Simple his name starts with H- and ends with -ero.

He can't be doing these things and then not be around me, we don't have any type of relationship. He can't.
You will be asking: he's being nice to you why you're mad?

I am mad because I know myself and I fall immediately for this shit so if he doesn't wants to approach to me I don't want him to do any kind of things to me. I don't have time to play. My heart doesn't.

Once at the right floor I get guided by Clara till my desk and then the blonde guy sit on the chair next to mine looks up.

Shit. He's handsome. Long blond hair that touched his eyebrows, clear blue eyes and and good lineaments.
His body is more that great.
He stands up in a rush and keeps staring at me.

Do I have something on my face?
Then I see him look me up and down and maybe the choice of a dress today was the best choice I've ever done.

He is freaking tall by the way. I think he is a bit shorter than Jackson but the same height of Hero.
Fuck I thought of him even today.

"You should be Josephine." he says kinda nervous. Well it's comforting to know that I'm not the only one.
"Yes and you should be Tim?" I ask not sure if I remember well.
"Oh no Tim got the flu so for the first will I'll be by your side. I'm Drew Starkey." he says leaning his hands towards me.
I shake home hand in a really firm way.
"Alright it's all yours." Clara says before walk away from us.

"First day huh?" he asks while he invites me to sit down on my chair but when I'm about to do it I stop noticing some flowers in a jar placed right next to the computer on my desk.
"Y-Yeah yes." I say a bit distracted by the flowers while I slowly sit on the chair.
"Here. It's a latte macchiato. It's okay right?" he asks giving me a paper up with written Colleen & Tiffin on it.
"Yes thank you so much." I tell him and then I sip it with him since he got one for him too.
While we are chatting about the project that he has on the display and drinking my coffee my eyes fall on the little bouquet and then I notice the little note attached to the jar.

Welcome to the family
Hope your workspace
is comfortable to you.
Have a great start.
Sincerely, CT

"You better appreciate them because not everyone is getting this welcoming." Drew whispers after leaning closer to my ear.
I look at him and he smirks at me and I can't not smile flattered.

I take a picture of it during the break and I send Emma.

Drew is a really amazing interior designer I learned more with him in a day than 2 years in Art Life.
He is kinda fascinating too. He is so kind and calm when he shows things to you and he has this continuously stare into my eyes that starts a curiosity in me.

"Do you need a ride?" Drew asks pressing the button of the ground.
He looks up to me and I'm feel tempted to say yes... but I can't. I just knew him.
But this doesn't exclude that maybe he can be the one I was searching for... who knows?
But I can't made up castles on the air that's how get disappointment and I get that too often because myself and my imagination .
"Oh no thank you Emma, my best friend is picking me up." I tell him and hi nods with a light smile.

He seems so shy but something tells me that he's not that shy he just needs time to trust me and let out his real being.

"Then see you tomorrow." I tell him once we're out of the building and I get to see how now is getting so dark so earlier.
"See you tomorrow Jojo" he says hugging me and giving me a cute nickname that many use but he doesn't know.
I smile him back and I walk to Emma's car.
