I was frozen in place with my hand on the handle of the door, staring at him.
There he was. Standing about 10 Feet away from me. His head whipped around in my direction when he heard the door open.
He straightened up slowly while I started making my way through the hallway from the right, along the wall, to the storage room to get a small bucket of ice and tried to ignore his presence. He stood in the middle of the hallway with his hands behind his back.
"Stop." He ordered when I was near him and I did like an obedient fucking dog. God I hated being like this.
He walked closer to me and I turned to face him, almost sandwiched between him and the wall.
He was standing with his hands behind his back while staring down at me. I was looking at his chest.
He wore a Black t-shirt and jeans and smelled of mild cigarette smoke and whisky mixed with his cologne. It was fucking intoxicating.
I didn't look up at him because all of my courage from earlier was drained out of my body along my pee.
Is this fucker going to speak or just keep staring at me? It's getting creepy.
"I haven't told anyone anything if that's what you're worried about." I said because this dumbfuck has gone mute.
"I know you wouldn't risk that. You're smart."
I looked up at him and realised how close we were that I could notice his eyes were red and pupils dilated. I could hardly see any green in them. He sniffed while rubbing under his nose.
I think he is high.
His gaze shifted to my body and then back to my eyes.
"Has anyone made you come?" He asked and I stopped breathing.
Did I heard him correctly?
"What?"
"Has anyone ever made you come?" He repeated.
I opened my mouth and closed it back like a fish, unable to answer. I mean I've had sex, but the two guys I did it with weren't that good and it's much better when I do it myself.
I'm definitely not going to tell him any of that.
I don't know how to answer his question. So I don't. I just stared at him with my lips slightly parted in surprise.
Muffled music was audible, the floor thumped under our feet due to the music. His stare was making me nervous and my hands sweaty. I could hear my heart beat in my ears. He walked even closer and I stood there paralyzed.
"The things I could make you feel." He whispered as he delicately tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear, that must have come out of the loose bun, while staring right into my eyes with his green ones that were filled with hunger. Goosebumps erupted all over my body.
I was at a loss of words, surprised by his delicacy. Now I was NOT expecting that.
"I-I should go, the ice bucket is waiting for me." I said as I tried to get away from him.
Wait, what the fuck did I say?
Being this close to this asshole clouded my senses.
"I mean I've to get back to work." He smirked lightly, amused by my nervousness.
I stepped away from him and my back met with the wall behind me. I averted my eyes away from his and started walking through the hallway towards the bar.
When I reached the end of the hallway and was about to take a turn, I glanced over my shoulder. He wasn't there anymore. Rest of the night, I was trying to push him away from my thoughts.
___
I just ended my call with Candice after telling her I have this 'friend' who is new at work and lives near my apartment is going to drop me off from now on and also added that we were interested in each other that is why I was abandoning her because I know she would have started a war if I had not added the last part.
I don't want her to know the truth and get in trouble because of me.
I was pacing around the staffroom, not knowing what to do. It's 2:05 and I've to meet Kayden in five minutes. After that little QnA session in the hallway I don't want to be near him. Not because I was afraid.
No
But because I don't want to do something I'll regret.
I accept, as bitter as it is, I accept that I'm attracted to him. I agree he is handsome.
Very handsome.
Handsome doesn't even describe how good looking he is.
Fuck I hate it that I'm accepting it.
His shit personality had helped me to control these feelings. But now after what he said to me in the hallway.....it's making me go crazy.
The things I could make you feel.
His voice was still echoing inside my head like a broken record. Even thinking about it made a shiver run down my spine.
He is a giant walking red flag Evelyn.
I reminded myself.
I stepped out of the staffroom and the backdoor, and spotted Kayden's car immediately. I was about to walk towards him when the backdoor opened behind me and my name was called.
I turned around and saw Cole standing at the door.
"Hey. I just arrived yesterday and wanted to meet you before I left. I'm resigning to live with my grandma and take care of her. You know.....want to spend as much time with her as possible." He said with a sad smile.
"Oh...." I said in a sad voice.
"Yeah....I think I'm going to settle there completely and I'm afraid I'll not be coming back so I just wanted to say goodbye."
I gave him a sad smile and went in for a hug. He wrapped his hands around me. "You are a great friend Evelyn. Thank you for helping me every time I needed you." He whispered.
I heard a car horn but I ignored it knowing whose impatient ass it was.
"I'm going to miss you." I said when we ended the hug.
"I'm going to miss you too." He said with a small smile as he started walking backwards.
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye." I said back and then he closed the door.
We weren't really close but he was a great guy. In the span of two years that he worked here I could definitely say that he was an amazing person to be around with.
I started making my way towards the car again and when I opened the passenger seat door, I was welcomed with strong smell of cigarettes.
Point 3 to not be attracted to him.
I don't want to get in. I stood there with the door open.
"What?" Kayden asked rudely when I didn't get in. Asshole.
"Nothing." I said and got inside.
I saw a button on the door to open the window and didn't hesitate to press it until it was completely down.
Kayden didn't object and started driving.
We didn't talk or comment anything about the earlier event. Like it never happened.
After sometime my stomach grumbled and I tried to hide the noise with a cough. Kayden didn't say anything. So I think my attempt was successful. Coughing also made me feel better.
Killed two birds with one stone.
Smart move Evelyn.
We reached my apartment building and I was about to open the door but Kayden locked it from his side.
What now?
I turned to look at him. "I'll be here at 5:30 tomorrow. Do not make me wait Lyn." He said sternly with cold eyes. Completely opposite of the way he looked at me in hallway.
"Okay."
I heard the door click behind me signaling that it was unlocked. I stepped out and closed it. I heard the car drive away after I entered the apartment building.
When I went to bed, I made sure to set three alarms and decided it will be best if I try and rather not sleep in the afternoon.
