Unintentional Heart's Desire

Pillowtalking.

She hadn't thought much about how his house would look like, yet, she wasn't surprised when she finally saw it.

The penthouse looked like it had recently been staged for a potential showing of a sale. If he'd said to her, 'this is the house I'm going to buy', she would've believed him.

Jason's personality was very... pensive, corporal, and deadpan.

To elaborate, Amy could count the number of times she'd seen him smile since they met, and it required only one hand.

There were no pictures, nothing in the fridge, and the pantry looked squeaky clean, as if it had never seen any kind of food product.

The kitchen cupboards weren't any different. He barely had any cutlery. It was as if he never had guests, and that didn't surprise her at all.

Not that she'd been any different in the guests having department, but at least her small apartment actually looked like she lived in it.

To say that Jason had no personality was mean, but he lacked vibrance.

He lacked the things that made him unique to himself, the thing that set him apart from other people - character.

Either that or he did a good job at hiding it.

Perhaps it was easier for him to be blank because that way nobody could figure him out.

"Tell me about your upbringing."
She'd heard the man say as he softly drew lines on her bare skin with his fingers.

She laid facing upward, and he was on his side facing her.

The two had planned for a very steamy night, but all they did as soon as they arrived was jump into bed and relax.

It was only Monday but they'd had a very long day.

If there was one thing the pair had in common, it was their ability to overwork themselves even when it wasn't necessary.

Amy didn't have to work as much as she did before, because the gruesome part of her internship had come to a halt.

The company had gotten rid of the 'dead weight' and they were confident with the students they were left with.

It was a tactic of theirs; give them all hell and keep whoever survives, and then only start teaching the ones who are left the real Coopers and Co. processes.

They still had a few months until they did the final round of cutting off interns, but Amy was happy with being a finalist.

Whatever would happen after that was something she didn't have control over and she was ok with that. Working for Coopers and Co was always a dream of hers, but she knew they would ultimately need to keep the engineers who were what the company was looking for. They would keep their 'perfect fit'.

All the interns who were left deserved that opportunity because they'd worked very hard to get where they were.

That evening, just like many others, had left the pair exhausted, and all they wanted to do was absolutely nothing.
