Troubled waters(Ronald Knox) (Black Butler)

Chapter 3: Dancing in Death

"Where's Knox?" Eric asked as I walked in the office. 

I turned around, funny he was right behind me. 

"He was right behind me, I swear he was." I said walking towards my desk to put my Death scythe down and then go to the staff kitchen and make tea, it was my turn today....or so I thought. 

As I walked into the kitchen I found Ronald and Grell giggling like little girls. Ronald turned around and saw me standing in the doorway and his face dropped. 

"Oh hi Elanora!" Ronald said smiling nervously...odd. 

"Hey, you were behind me when I walked in, besides it's my turn to do the tea run today, why are you and Grell in here?" I asked. 

"Oh well this morning you looked tired, so I thought that I would do it for you." He rubbed the back of his head, some things wrong here! 

Not to mention the fact that he mentioned that I stayed at his house last night. Well we sort of take turns and it's not every night, I'm not needy or anything it's just....he makes the dreams go away. So sometimes he might come over, or I might go to his. Besides he said he likes my company. 

"Oh...Okay thanks." I said quietly still eyeing him and Grell.

I sat back down at my desk. Pulling a pen out of my draw and then starting to fill out my paper work, it was a small amount today, probably an hour or two and then I would be finished. I never clock out of work before 5. So I normally sit and chat with the other desk staff. 

Were not getting any new staff for a number of months, so Ronald has run out of work prey, THANK GOD! I HAVE HAD SO MANY GIRLS RUN UP TO ME TELLING ME TO CONTROL HIM OR HELP THEM KILL HIM! Normally I would give him a bit of an earful or a smack upside the head. Now it's this time frame that he moves on from this to practical jokes.

Ronald walked over and put my tea on my desk, it wasn't steaming at all which I found odd, but then I don't like it really hot and I like a lot of milk so it will sometimes cool it down a lot. Grell handed tea to Eric and Alan and then went to give William his tea.

I felt Ronald's eye's fixate on my hands as I reached for the cup, even if the sun shone on his glasses lenses so I couldn't see his eye's I could still feel them. 

Picking up the tea cup I brought the cup to my lips and began to drink. Funny it's luke warm, not even hot! I took a few more sips to make sure and then concluded that this wasn't right. I started to feel a little dizzy and sort of happy. I looked over to Eric and Alan. Eric was red faced and giggling. Alan's cheeks were tinted pink and he was swaying slightly, a silly grin plastered on his face. I started to giggle insatiably, what the hell! I shook my head trying to snap myself out of it. I got up from my desk only to fall face down on the floor. Ronald came over and shakily helped me up, his cheeks plastered a deep shade of pink and he was giggling too. I fell again and he tripped, I landed in his arms and we just lay on the floor giggling, his arms tightly wrapped around me and getting tighter, I couldn't even blush I was so out of my head. Arms still getting tighter, I started finding it hard to breathe, I forgot how strong Ronald actually was. I started trying to tap his shoulder to get him to let go, but he just held me tighter. I started struggling and then he looked down, probably looking at the deep shade of purple on my face and my wide open mouth trying to suck in any air I could, he twisted his head slightly in confusion and then let go. I relaxed breathing hard. 

"S...sorry bout' that." He smirked happily. 

"I'm...gone go, to, t...the loo." I slurred, staggering up and heading for the women's bathroom. 

Slamming the door open with my body weight, thankfully I'm one of the only dispatch officers that are women ,there are about two others I think.
