I take his hand and give it a light shake.
"And I-"
"Um..." I swallow to wet my throat before continuing to speak.
"I'm Rosalie Lancaster." I smile back awkwardly.
Brain, are you sleeping? Why am I malfunctioning?
Friend, wake up and help me socialize with the stranger now.
"John, you introduce her to her job." Damon speaks up, making him look over.
John nods.
"If anything, call me. I will be in my office." Damon glances at me for a brief second, then at John, before turning around and leaving, closing the door behind him.
After that, I can't help but feel somewhat empty inside, it was nice having him around and I want nothing but to be with him...
"Right..." John starts, making me look at him, seeing him gesture towards the desk. "Let's begin, okay?"
"Uh..." I freeze there for a bit.
"Yeah, sure!" I finally beam at him before getting to my chair and sitting down.
After a moment
"Do you get it now?" John asks me, still smiling.
I don't know how he can even smile that bright even after explaining this to me for how many times?
Five times already!
"Yes, thank you." I giggle tensely.
I'm so happy I understand it now, or else there will be a sixth explanation and it will be so freaking awkward.
He is standing very close next to me, leaning lightly towards my computer with his hands palming the edge of the table, all just to help guide me through my work.
My concentration is badly messed up as I do nothing but focus on how close he is and how his scent keeps hitting my nose.
"Is- is there anything else for me to learn?" I cough.
"No, this is it, you have learned it all!" He chuckles, straightening his torso and I can't express how relaxed I feel.
"That's all?" I raise my brows, gritting my teeth.
"Yes." He smiles at me.
"Oh, that's awesome." I smile awkwardly, my mind racing to find something to talk about, but there is nothing.
So that's it, really? I feel like I have not learned anything at all since there was not much to learn, all he did was tell me how to read these files and how I can use this app to blah blah and blah...
It really be looking so easy.
"I think my job here is done, I will call the boss." He points his thumb to the door.
"Uh, yeah..." I nod.
He commences to saunter out and I watch him do so.
When he closes the door behind him and it makes a click, I fully exhale the air I was holding.
Jeez, that was tense.
Oh gosh, I was so freaking nervous, I always feel like that around strangers, especially males...
Psst!
Brain, hey.
Help cool me down before they come back!
