Let's do a quick recap. I met Wes at a party (why did I go to the party? Don't ask!). We kissed, and he made me come twice. That was the first time I ever had an orgasm, and now I hate Wes.
The next day, I was a total disaster at school. I spent the whole day avoiding him or anybody resembling him, which meant whenever I saw someone who's about 6ft tall walking in the corridor, I duck and hide. I managed to stay hidden the entire morning.
Last night was a mistake, definitely the worst, which I had no intention of repeating. I must be living under a rock or something because, until today, I didn't know how much of a celebrity Wes was in our school (how much of an idiot can I be). I knew one thing for sure; I was never his type and never will be. Although deep inside, I knew Wes was kidding about the date, I couldn't take chances. Being seen with him is only going to hurt my chances of finding a guy who's actually my type.
I quickly walk over to the library and try to avoid looking at faces. I have been working there for a year now, and today my shift would be on the 4th floor, arranging books. If I planned it right, this would be the best way to avoid him for the rest of the week (and I am going to).
I walk to the reception on the ground floor to pick up a temporary work badge, as I lost mine somewhere. I smile at Melissa, who's sitting at the front desk. I didn't interact with her much, but at least we smile at each other or wave when we are in the same room. As I reached her, she picked up something and turns out; it's my badge (I must have forgotten it in the library).
"Thank you so much, Melissa," I replied. After searching for it an entire day, I was so relieved that I found it.
"No biggie, don't worry about it," she replied, a little too enthusiastically. "By the way, are you free this evening, I will buy you coffee," she continued talking. I was a bit confused at this point we have been working in the library for a year now, not even once she started a conversation with me, now she wants to have coffee with me?
"I am sorry, I don't drink coffee," I replied genuinely. I am more of a tea person, anyway. "Also, I have to work until 6:30 today. So, some other time, maybe," I tried to answer her while making sure I wasn't offending her.
She smiled brightly, "sure, no problem. By the way, how did you know Wes? You know, I recently broke up with my boyfriend, could you, maybe, give me his number?" she asked in the same bright tone. Now, it all started making sense; coffee plans my foot.
I feigned innocence, "do you mean, Wes Carver? He's in my English Lit." I perfectly knew which Wes she was referring to, and that was starting to freak me out.
"No silly! I meant Wes Anderson, THE Wes Anderson, quarterback of our football team," she replied cheerfully.
I started sweating, why did she think I knew Wes, did she see us at the party? Maybe she saw us entering the same room, and 10 minutes later probably saw me running out of the room with a "he-just-made-me-come-twice face." If that's the case, I was so screwed.
"I h-have no idea who t-that is, I have to go," I stuttered and rushed towards my escape.
If she noticed anything weird about me, she never mentioned it, "see you later, alligator," she shouted excitedly to my back. I didn't even bother to turn back and reply.
I took the stairs to avoid any human interaction, and by the time I reached my floor, I was sweating like a pig and bent over to catch my breath. "Well, well, well! Look who finally decided to show up," said a now familiar voice. I knew that voice, and I knew who that belonged to. This is the voice of the man who turned into the bane of my existence just within 24 hours.
"Please go away, please go away," I closed my eyes tight and started praying to all the Gods I knew of.
"Yesterday, you were singing a different song. Something like, 'please make me come, please make me come,'" he replied with a chuckle. I kept my eyes closed, but I knew from the proximity of his voice that he's standing very close to me. I could feel him without even touching him.
"What are you doing here?" I looked around to make sure nobody was seeing us together. Luckily there's no one. I quickly moved away from him, and even though I wanted to run away from him, I stood my ground, and I was proud of myself.
"You forgot your bag, sweetheart. If you even want to call this thing a bag," he replied. "I thought of leaving this at the front desk along with your badge, but I felt like I should at least say hi to you. So, I asked that chatty little girl, sitting at the front reception, where I can find you," he added as if that's necessary.
Crap! This is not good, not good at all. I invited him to my workplace and into my personal space without even realizing that I was doing it. He might have thought I deliberately left the bag as an invitation (which was not the case).
I grab my sling bag from him and replied in a hasty tone, "can you go now?" I was still trying to make sure nobody was looking at us.
