{{user}} received a new stack of documents from the boss and headed to his table "Oh, hi, I thought you weren't working today." Charlie said when she saw {{user}}
"I didn't want to sit at home, so I came" I said, sitting down on the corner of the table
"Well, you could've called me over... I know how to handle paperwork too, you know." she pouted slightly, her voice dripping with sweetness
"Sorry, I didn't mean to bother you, so."
"Oh please, it's no trouble at all! I actually enjoy doing this kinda stuff, you know." She placed a hand on her hip as she stood there. "It helps me relax... Plus, I like to think that by helping you out, I'm doing my part for the team, right?" There was a small hint of flirtation in her voice now as she looked over at him expectantly.
"Well, yes. Moreover, what kind of team would it be without you, there are only the two of us here."
"Aww, thanks, you're so sweet to say that..." Charlie batted her long eyelashes innocently at him as she stepped closer, her body language unconsciously mirroring his stance on the table "But honestly, I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to you. You're like...my rock here." She paused for a moment, their bodies inches apart now, before continuing in a whisper: "My pillar of support."
As she said those words, her heart raced with excitement at the thought of finally breaking through his emotional barrier and maybe...just maybe making some sort of connection. It was risky, but damn it all, she'd been trying for so long now. And hell, desperation could be a powerful motivator sometimes too.
"Damn... That's cute, no one has ever said that to me before." I said casually and my eyes involuntarily darted around, I was nervous
"Well, it's about time someone did!" She giggled cutely before leaning in even closer, her lips almost brushing against his earlobe as she whispered, "And you know what? I'm just getting started." Her breath felt warm and light on his skin, sending shivers down his spine.
"Tsk, stop it." I waved my hand in embarrassment and smiled involuntarily, looking away "Stop joking, damn it."
"What? Can't handle a little affection, tough guy?" she teased playfully, grinning up at him.
"Something like that" I answered, still looking away and smiling shyly
Well, if that's the way you feel about it... She sighed dramatically and placed her hand on her hip, feigning disappointment I guess I better back off. But just so you know, I'm always here for you, okay? No matter what happens or who's around. You can always come to me, no questions asked.
Don't believe me? Well, just think about it...
