He had been seeing her around the office for a few months. He saw her every day, and yet he knew very little about her. He looked over at her quite often, it was only natural when she was so effortlessly eye-catching.
Her hair always tumbled over her shoulders and shined in the light when she strode past his desk. Her scent left him dazed. Her shirts were form-fitting, accentuating her lovely chest, and her skirts outlined her hips which swayed when she walked around. He thought she moved them just for him, especially when she smirked at him with that glint in her eye. He thought he must be dreaming because she hadn't said a word to him outside of meetings and work emails.
He decided that he should make some small talk with her when she next walked past his desk. He hoped she would respond positively to some banter, and maybe it could get the ball rolling for him to ask her out for after work drinks on Friday.
He saw her coming over with arms full of paper stacks. He decided to be chivalrous and help her with them.
'Hey, do you want a hand with those? They look pretty heavy.' He started.
'Yes.' She stated. 'Carry these to the printing room around the corner, please.'
Something about the way she said it was agreeable to him. He breathed in her scent and a rush of blood went to his cheeks.
He took the papers from her arms and caught her eyes in the process. They had that little sparkle in them that he had come to like so much.
As he walked into the printing room with her in tow, he felt her presence behind his back. He was excited that he might talk to her away from others and that maybe she would find him interesting enough to talk to again.
'Just put them there on the table and I can start scanning them,' she said. 'Would you be able to grab me a coffee from the break room, please?'
He started walking to the breakroom, eager to please her, before he even registered what had happened. Well at least he was making some sort of progress, and he had to go back to the printing room to give her the coffee, so he was making headway.
Every moment he spent making the drink he felt more agitated to get back to her. He almost spilled it all over himself in the half-jog he did towards the printing room.
Once he had handed her the cup, he felt relief that he had done what she had asked.
