My name is Leon Wallflower. As my last name suggests, i am an introvert. I joined this company nine months ago, while working here, i took a notice in peer who is few years older than me. The very first project we had as group involved me and her in the same group. She is chatty and easy going and complete opposite of me. What i noticed was her hair. It was somewhat curly with straightness to it. But i found it gorgeous.

The hours went and the others retired for the night so we together worked overtime. She was compassionate about her work and she sat closer with me and showed every error in kind way. When i looked at her, i noticed how her eyelashes were long and enchanting. Her name is Violet, even her name suits her. Most people would feel uncomfortable with a quiet person like me, but she was comfortable and didnt mind the silence between us.

As time went on, I realized that I had developed a habit of noticing her. What she was into, what she disliked. I didnt have any courage to approach her romantically so i decided to bury my feelings deep. This way it wouldn't get in the way of my career.

The night when i was pressured into going out with everyone to have a nice time, i really just didn't want to make any mistakes that might ignite the buried feelings i have for Violet. But it was actually quite nice, getting to know everyone's personal life at my own pace but my eyes always glanced at her from a distance.

When Chloe took me to the side to asked a favor, i saw my death flag wavering. At all cost i needed to evade this situation. But when i looked at my phone, i saw my baby's picture which i needed desperately to get home to. I had to give in but i will keep a good distance between me and violet.

I gripped onto my bag to make me feel at ease. "We are here." The drivers voice brought me back from my drowsy state. "Thank you" i responded. I looked over to violet to see that shes still completely knocked out. I went out and to the other side, as i opened the car door, her fragrance that had me completely drowned in the whole car ride, came back.

While standing in front of her home, she leaned onto me for support, i could hear my heart pounding louder. Ignore it Leon IGNORE IT AT ALL COST!

I led her to the door of her home, her house was big, a family sized at most. Why wouldnt anyone from her family pick her up? Does she have bad relations with them? Questions were rushing in with the alcohol that i had gotten in me at the event. Lets not prick to much into this. "Ms violet, where are your keys?" I asked her but she would only mumble nonsense. I looked at her bag and grabbed it gently from her. I looked through and found the keys, i looked back at her and see her hair in her face. I brushed it away and wanted time to stop at that moment

What am i thinking about, stop Leon. Get back to your senses. I turned around and opened the door. But suddenly her arms wrapped around me. I was standing there, my nerves started dancing out of its place making me feel nervous. "M-ms violet?" I uttered out with a stutter, my heart was beating, my hands were sweating and my head going blank at this sudden action of her. She rubbed her head to my back which made my mouth drop, she was getting dangerous. "I wish i could have this everyday" she said, i clenched fists to hold it in. I turned around and pushed her away. "N-now that your home, i will take my leave" i said abruptly. She looked up to me with her dazed expression. "You look delicious.." she told me, i felt dumbfounded. Before i knew it, she pushed me all the way into her home. I fell on my back and when i looked at her, she was sitting on me.

No.. at this rate it will rise. Leon gets it together. I need to keep the image of a perfect colleague. She was caressing my chest at that too. I looked to my side and saw my glasses, it was blurry, i need it to get home. I grabbed it but looked at her again.

"Ms..violet" i let out but i couldn't look anymore or it will end bad so i covered my eyes to not give in to any temptations. I could feel my cheeks warming up, her on top of me was not helping my case at all.
