Jessica

I looked at the guy next to me. Isn't he the one who wanted that advertisement leaflet?

"So, is it okay of I interview the both of you at once, or.." Mr J.T, whom I didn't know what J.T is- but I bet he told us a while ago, asked us immediately as soon as we sat down.

"Sure. No problem. Is it okay for you?" The guy next to me spoke. He turned his head and looked at me. I stared at him blankly. He's kind of hot though.

"Huh? Yeah sure. It's fine for me too." I smiled. Ankwardly.

"Okay, so let's begin. But I would just want to know one thing, do you guys know each other?"

What.

"No. We don't-" I answered. The guy next to me just simply shrugged his shoulders.

"Okay, that's good. I don't really like couples at work, you know.. Secretly kissing and stuff.. So now let's proceed with the paperwork," Mr J.T handed me two sheets of paper and so does to this stranger guy.

"Fill up those forms, I'll be right back to get some stuff." He stood up and mumbled as he walked out the door.

I grab a pen out of my bag and began writing. Name, age, date of birth and things related to that. As I was writing, the guy next to me tapped my shoulder. It gave me a suprise till I hiccuped right away.
Darn it. I hate hiccuping.

"Hic! Yes? Hic!" I asked in between my horrible hiccups. I shut my mouth tight while placing my palms over to quiet it down.

"May I borrow your pen? I didn't bring any," He asked, with a gentle smile. Aw.

"Sure. Hic! Here," I grinned and hand him a pen. My hiccups sounded so disturbing, ugh.

"Thanks. By the way, I'm Jay. I guess we'll be colleagues soon. So, uhm. Hi." Jay mumbled while scribbling something on the paper. Jay, huh? Didn't expect his name to start with a letter 'J' though. I mean, I'm Jessica, J. And he's Jay, J. What a coincidence.

"Colleagues? Hm. I hope so. I'm Jessica, nice to meet you, Jay." I finally spoke properly. Yay, my hiccups are gone!

"Woah. Jessica, Jay, J.T. We're all J's? Cool." I laughed and nodded.

"Guys, I'm baaaaack!" Mr J.T burst through the door out of the blue, with his arms threw out like a suprise. Uh oh. Right after his 'suprising entrance', I hiccuped. Again. Like crazy. Totally, crazy, hiccups blew out of my face.

"Oops. I. Uhm. Did I-" Mr. J.T shrugged. Jay quickly hand me a bottle of water that he took nearby and asked me to drink it forcefully, and I did.

"Sorry about that. I didn't know..-" Mr J.T flinched uncomfortably with his left hand swaying oddly in the air.

"It's alright. You're okay, right? It's understandable. I mean, hiccups are natural." Jay looked into my eyes and convinced me with a smile.

He's protecting me. What.

Well.. I guess that's what future collegues do. I guess.
