The tapping of the keyboard kept echoing in her head. Nervousness shelled over her. The thoughts kept repeating that the technician said to her you have a really bad virus, very violent, She sighed while thinking this, the words now becoming a mantra in her head. He started to speak again, breaking this mantra, she ripped her hands through her dark blonde hair in frustration, her life, her computer was doomed. The hacker, or whoever made the virus ruined everything.

"someone made this program, i can't believe it, they're an expert" he said, his tone awestruck, by how bad the computer.

"what do you mean?" she asks the technician, looking into his gray eyes, they sparkle at her.

"i have never seen a virus this bad before, I will need to take your computer with me, I'm sorry I cant help, but they put a lot of time and effort into this" he said in a defeated voice.

She let out a loud sigh and got off her bed.

"alright, well thanks for your help, I guess no video games tonight" she added.

"don't you have that white PS4?" he asks her.

"yeah, but I just downloaded some new games on my steam account" she told him.

"oh, i can add that program to your laptop if you'd like?" he offered.

"thanks, but its not the same" she shrugged.

"but you can still play" he smiled to her.

She looked down at his name-tag [ALEX], his gray eyes looking into hers and they sparkled with a smile. His tattoos covered with the white polo shirt he was wearing, and the geek squad logo on its corner. His khaki pants neatly pressed under the shirt, he was even wearing a clean and clean pair pf black veins. Which surprised her by the amount of ink on his body.

"okay Alex, yeah sure" she agreed and flashed him a smile then grabbed her laptop off her bed, then logging into it. He came over to her and watched her log in.

"They can't get in here right?" she asked him as she typed in her password.

"no, its a different operating system, you should be fine, but if it happens again I will give you my number, okay?" he winks at her.

She smiles back, almost ear to ear.

She hands him her phone as the final log in screen flashes on. He types fast, almost too fast for her eyes to see.

"added"

He hands her his phone. She goes into new contact>add new> then she put her name. She then titled the phone towards herself and took a selfie and added that to the picture that the contact had on it.

She showed him what she had done. Her photo in the corner, her name Sophie 555-8913.

Sophie handed him the phone gently after showing, he took it and then smiled to her "thats a beautiful name" he flirted.

"yeah, it was my grandmothers." she said and sighed. He came over and sat next to her on the bed grabbing her laptop that was placed in front of her on her bed.

"i'm sorry" he said and started typing, this time not making eye contact with Sophie. The rhymythic typing again amazing her how fast he was. He quickly handed it to her saying "type in please" in a playful tone. She did and pushed it towards him. He smiled at her, flirty this time. He kept gazing into her eyes.

"what?" she asked him.

"nothing" he said and kept typing.

She sighed again.

"you're so beautiful, you game? thats amazing." he says to her, no shame this time.

She blushed, she wasn't used to flattery.

"id kiss you right now, but i'm working" he said and winked at her.

Wow, this happened fast. She thought to herself.

"I wont tell anyone" she flirted back, it hit him hard this time. Making him gasp for air. He chuckled.

"I'm a professional, I'd feel guilty, maybe we can go on a date eh?" he asks and continues typing.

"god your so formal"

"well?" He asks and looks up at her.

"yeah sure, text me when" she says.

"seriously?"

"what?...its the best place to reach me"

"you're one of those?"

"one of those what?"

"those people that are always on their phone?"

She looks down at her phone, then back up at him and laughs, putting her palm to her face "shit, i just did it!". She giggles.

He laughed at her.

"its alright, people our age do it all the time."

"see...I'm not the only one"

He laughs again.

"sure, well your all set up, again, im sorry i couldnt fix it, i wish i could stay and talk but i have to go to my next service call, it was really nice meeting you, Sophie" he said and hugged her. Then grabbed her large desktop tower, he then also left a piece of paper on her desk.

"again, sorry, and i will let you know when this is ready" he says to her before exiting her bedroom door.

"bye" she yells after him. Then places her laptop on her lap, loading the game she wanted to continue. The loading screen then popped up. She plugged in her headphones drowning out the sound of her surroundings. After playing for a few hours, she left her laptop on her bed to go get a snack from the kitchen. When she came back, she found her laptop in a sight of horror. Glitches all over the screen. The curse words kept flying out her mouth. She ran over to her laptop to see a message on the screen.

"hi, my names glitch, whats yours?" she read out loud.
