Never Meant To Be Apart

10. I can't have you , I shouldn't have you...

My head was pounding . It was  increasing  unbearably while hearing Ed's bickering . He had gathered utter non sense in the name of collecting information regarding the  report . I had killed him ten times now in my mind by all the different and innovative methods shown in GOT. What will it take to stop him?

We were sitting in Mark's  office  presenting our share of report to Mark . Speaking of him , he has been acting strange today . He had been ignoring me all morning , even when I came up with his cup of coffee he just murmured thank you without even looking at me once. I felt stupid , a  wanna be  to have read everything as wrong. He was just being friendly last night and now I might have been appearing as creepy individual who is invading his personal space.

Here is a thing about me . I'am a pessimist and paranoid. I can't stop thinking like that and it makes me a friend to everyone but a friend to none except Stacy , that girl might even befriend the Grim reaper if she meets one. That was the reason when Mark started acting weird I curled up into  my black hole instead of asking him about whatever that was bothering him . He looked so out of place today . My heart was aching to ask him but my pessimist soul stopped me from saying anything and guess who I listened to ? So here I was avoiding to look his way , choosing to hear  Ed's crap. My headache was getting a headache now. I opened my purse and popped in one more aspirin .

After long and  painful two hours of Ed , the torture ended. I gave a quick thirty minutes report which was part of the whole report I had written earlier . Yep! I don't believe in Ed not even one percent. As soon as Ed left the office I handed out the full report to Mark which I had made earlier  . He just nodded and smiled weakly. Me being me just nodded and left without a word. If he doesn't want to talk , fine by me . I left for my desk to edit few articles for the paper .

" Why so sad today heebie jeebie?" Ed whispered in my ear.

" What the fuck Ed ?" I jumped out of my seat startled by our proximity . " Personal space Ed, personal space" I added as I moved my chair away from where he was standing now.

" Oh ! you can't resist me if I come close? " He smirked to which i fake gagged . He laughed at that like an imbecile he is and asked " seriously what is up with you? "

" And you care why? by the way i am not sad"

" Liar"

" Creep"

 " Oh you love this creep don't you?" He gave me a disgusting smile , the very smile that makes  Kiara drool. Yep! she has a huge crush on this shithead . How? Why? That's one of the biggest mysteries of the world for me.

" Yep! if the desire to smother you with a  bag of dirty laundry from central jail is called love , then I love you from the bottom of my heart".  My lips making a thin line now out of annoyance towards this piece of hell .  He made  a  kissey face like a 10 year old he is to which I  rolled my eyes and turned back to my work. I wanted to complete it early and leave this place  avoiding Mark . I know I should not but I could not persuade my eyes which automatically turned away whenever Mark was in sight. The silence prevailed again filled with normal voices of the office . I zoned in to my work .

" Here , it might help you" It was Ed again resurfacing from my back . God I can't never get a break can I ?... I thought while turning towards him , extremely pissed off now . He was holding my coffee  mug with coffee in it . I looked at him surprised . He rolled his eyes and handed me my mug and got back to his seat without a word. What did just happen?...Too shocked to ask or say anything I got back to my work and for the coffee , nope! not  gonna drink it . Remember I mentioned earlier I am paranoid about everything and anything including the possibility of Ed spitting in my coffee . I left early that day exhausted emotionally and physically both .
