Dominance

Chapter 8: Josh

I sit at work, staring at the empty desk across from me. Would she act strange when she came into work? Or would she act completely normal, like she didn't even go into my apartment? I knew I was being paranoid, she was just a very... Social... Girl. Was that the correct way to put it even?

I shake my head and continue my work. I was being silly. She comes into work later anyways. Why was I even so worked up over her? It's not like I even know anything about her. Except the fact that I find her rather intriguing.

I slam my head down on my desk and groan,"This is making me crazy..."

"What's making you crazy?...", I hear giggled from across from me. I sit up and see her. Elizabeth.

She smiles cheekily and repeats,"What's making you crazy?"

"Uh uh uh uhm This paper work! Yeah!", I say hurriedly

She chuckles in her dark way,"okay, sure..."

I watch as she kicks off her black converse high tops and sits cross legged in her chair. She was wearing black shorts and a white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. He dark brown curls were draped down her shoulders and back, and her eyes were stunning as ever.

"Staring problem?", I asks and her signature smirk pops into her cheek.

I swallow and look away,"Sorry... Drifting off into space..."

"Shouldn't you be working at NASA then?", she giggles

I stare at her blankly,"You did not just say that... Really..."

She gives me a 'try me' look,"Oh I just did."

That actually gets a laugh out of me and I smile widely at her.

She smiles right back, almost taking my breath away. What I wanted to know was, why was a girl like that working here when she could be making tons of money as a model?

Our fun is interrupted when my boss walks out to her desk, slapping a pile of papers on it.

"Let me show you how to do this...", he says and leans over her, to close for comfort in my opinion. And I guess in hers too because she looks up at me with wide eyes. I snicker and look down a my desk. It's all I can do to keep from laughing.

After he leaves I look up at her and give her a huge smile, wiggling my eyebrows. She tosses an eraser at me,"Not funny!!!"

I laugh and toss it back,"extremely funny!"

"He's creepy...", she murmurs and snickers a little.

I lean in so only she could hear,"I heard his last secretary was sleeping with him and then she told him she don't want to anymore and he fired her..."

"Are you serious?!", she leans in too.

I nod,"yeah, I guess he doesn't like being denied..."

"Ugh, I hope he doesn't ask me to do anything...", I she says, wrinkling her nose

I make a disgusted face,"ew... I hope not either..."

"Elizabeth and Josh! Back to work!", My boss barks from his office. She sits back in her chair and slides the headset on, turning her attention to her paper work. I turn back to my computer and start working on the numbers again.

Through out the day, Elizabeth and I stole glances and smirks at each other. She eventually found out which email was mine and we'd IM each other all day.

At the end of the day, everyone ceremoniously turns their computers and overhead lights off, shuffling towards the elevator in defeat. That is, except for Elizabeth. She was bright and fresh as ever.

We stand together waiting for our turn to get on the elevator. Soon the last elevator is full and we have to wait for another one. Which we'll ride by ourselves... Great.

When it finally gets back up, we hop on and press ground floor. She smiles at me,"Wanna walk home together... neighbor..."

I clear my throat,"uhm, actually, since ya know... We live next to each other and stuff... I was wondering if you wanted to... Ya know, go get some food and stuff... Only if you wanted to..."

She smiles and giggles,"Are you trying to ask me out to dinner?"

I smile sheepishly and nod,"Yeah... I am."

She smiles and her eyes crinkle slightly,"I'd love to..."
