No strings attached - Leon S. Kennedy

Chapter 2

A few days of working with Leon have already not been delightful, if i have to endure him any longer i might aswell go crazy.
Today was another one of those days where i would've rather punched him than watched him. We stopped saying bye to each other after work as it resulted in useless arguments and mocking.
It seemed like saying goodbye wouldn't have worked regardless the moment i stepped foot into the local bar, seeing him at the counter on his own. I came here whenever I had the time to inbetween work and my personal life, now he was even here.
I'm not gonna let my pride be hurt by this so i sit next to him and order a drink ''All alone? Poor you'' I say and take a sip of my drink ''You're one to speak, aren't you? If you want my company, just say so'' He had obviously already drank a bit, yet he held another glass in his hand, swirling the liquid around. ''I Don't like you very much, in fact i hate babysitting you at work'' I say and empty my glass before asking for another ''You're so pretentious sweetheart, acting like you're doing me a favour'' he finishes his glass and stands up, taking off his jacket and placing it on the chair he was sitting on. ''The feeling is mutual by the way'' he adds and i see him disappearing towards the bathroom, watching him closely, he definitely is attractive and he knows it.
Who does he think he is, talking to me like that? I have always had issues making friends, the absoloute sass came with it, especially with guys like him. I watch as he leaves the bathroom again, downing my 3rd glass of alcohol and making my way over to him, i definitely don't handle alcohol as well as other people considering my words blurt out like nothing ''Actually Mr. Kennedy, i am doing you a favour! Do you really think you'd have this Job without my help?'' he looks me in the eyes and raises an eyebrow ''I'm sure if not you, someone else would've babysit me''
''That's not the point, The point is that I know you have skeletons in your closet, there's no way the famous stratcom agent, that saved the presidents daughter, would work for us!'' I say and cross my arms in disbelief. He places his hand under my chin and lifts it for me to look at him, there was a bit of anger in his eyes ''You've got a problem? I'm sure we can fix it'' he scoffs and i feel my cheeks getting hot, flushed in red. I take a step back, freeing me from his hand on my chin to shake myself ''I'll figure your secret out, Kennedy'' I say and walk and away ''Not if i figure Yours out first'' I can hear the smirk on his voice. God i hate that stupid voice of his. I turn around to look at him again, but he's sitting back at the bar. Just my cue to leave.

I rummage in my pockets until i pull the key out, unlocking my door while taking off my jacket and throwing everything in the corner, i've never been more ready for bed. Just when i thought the nights and days i had to spend with Kennedy couldn't get worse, today happens. I can finally fall into my bed and get the shoes off my feet. I really hope he's forgotten about tonight by tomorrow, what even was that, i can't wrap my head around what his plan was with that, to get on my nerves? Most likely. He knows exactly that i dislike him and my new responsibility for him so he's taking advantage of it. I shouldn't waste another free thought on him considering all my time is spent with him, i have to see him tomorrow again anyways.

I am early today just so i can get a headstart without Kennedy's nose up my work and my business. Adam's has given me a good amount of work anyways, concentrating has been hard because i also had to focus on watching Kennedy's every step and move, besides his comments about my mood or his horrendous attempts to be charming. Being able to do something by myself was amazing until from the corner of my eye, i could see his figure walz up to the desk. I roll my eyes and close the reports about the G-Virus, i am still not allowed to show him. 
He doesn't say anything today, maybe today is a great day after all, with no intentions of talking to him, just peace and quiet.  

"Don't touch anything" i say and stand up, first thing any of us had said in hours, he ignores it and keeps writing in his notes that he had been making ever since he started, presumably about Umbrella. Great, least he could do is signal that he got the fucking memo. 
"You gonna leave?" He remarks, I pay no attention and leave to go to Adam's office so i could report him new finished research. "That's an interesting piece of information about Raccoon City you got there, we probably would've overlooked this if it wasn't for you, i'll make sure to direct it to hughes, i bet he's gonna find this just as good" Adams praises me, it's good to know that at least someone here appreciates my work. 

When i get back to my desk, Kennedy has moved away from my desk onto the free one next to me, typing on the Computer "Who gave you work to do?" I have to ask, trust me I wish I didn't have to hear his voice again but it's orders. "You, yesterday during work, you've suffered from memory loss recently?" he says passive agressively and i roll my eyes "fine, send it over to me when it's done" i could still control it when he's done, I hope giving him more work to do wasn't a mistake, after all he asked for it yesterday, and it left me more space for other stuff. 

"See you tomorrow" i see myself out in a hurry, i want to be gone before he leaves the building, should've  known that wasn't going to work though, because as i approach the street I hear his voice behind me "Torres" I try to just keep walking "Did you think about my offer?" he asks and i take a moment to think before getting the answer thrown at me "The one about fixing your problems" he laughs yet my heart stops for a second, out of anger. 
"What the fuck is your problem?" I shout and turn around to walk back at him "Feisty today, aren't we?" he remarks, putting the icing on the fucking cake, I have absoloutely no energy for this, calm down Amber, it's Friday, you can relax for the next 2 days. I turn around and like a kid ignore him while crossing the street.
