Alice's POV:
The world is filled with pointless lust and desire. I watched the cringe scene before me in disdain. The poor boy looked like he was about to catch fire from how red his face got from the little exchange he had with Adonis, I admit he was hot but it was getting ridiculous at this point, how are his teeth so nice though?
He definitely had braces growing up.
"So, Mr Adonis, I'm sure Mr Hale filled you in on the details of the project and we hope you will be willing to collaborate with us?"
"Yes, I am more than happy with your project plan and it would be a pleasure to work with you"
The exchange was cut short before our food arrived and we ate in silence it was at that moment I regretted ordering Creamy Carbonara.
*Moan*
It was so satisfying to not slurp, the only sound present was that of the cutlery and I didn't wanna make the weird scrappy fork sound so I carefully swirled it onto my fork, placing it in my mouth. Relief washed over me when I succeed but the small victory was short-lived when I thought I was over the finish line I screwed up.
Moan
I had a foodgasm could yu blame me my diet mainly packed ramen and other instant dishes my cook was none existent, I remember an instance when I burned water. I got distracted by Tom and Jerry.
But anyways back to the situation at hand.
I moaned at how good the food was it wasn't loud or anything but Mr Adonis was literally in earshot distance away from me. Mr Wilson thought it was better to sit across from him to 'discuss' according to him eye contact is everything. I saw him glance in my direction from the corner of my eye as I bit the inside of my cheek to stop myself from blushing in embarrassment.
I kept eating as if nothing ever happened.
Why did he have to notice?
Theo's POV:
I know she was moaning from the food but damn it should have been because of me.
Wait, was I jealous of a cooked string of flour with cream?
We finished eating and she went to the bathroom to wash her hands and I went after her leaving Lois with Mr Wilson alone to chat with each other.
I washed my hands as slowly as I possibly could until I heard the bathroom across the hall open and I took out my handkerchief to dry my hands. I looked down at my hands as I exited the bathroom so it would look less suspicious like I wasn't waiting for her. Then we were alone.
"So you really seemed to enjoy the food Cece, I eve had you moaning," I said mockingly as I looked down at her.
Alice's POV:
I exited the bathroom just to bump into Mr Adonis.
"So you really seemed to enjoy the food Cece, it even had you moaning"
I sucked my teeth in quietly,
So he did hear
"It was quite good and you know that's not my name, Mr Adonis"
"Oh Sorry, Mis Snow, It's just because you told me your name was Cece this morning, is it short for Alice by any chance"
"Yeah, it's a nickname"
I decided to play along.
"So can I call you that since we're neighbours, we should get to know each other"
Oh screw it Cece was the bitch that stole my boyfriend in high school; I don't want to hear her name every day.
But he seemed to know it was fake a name from that smirk on his face.
"Ummm...…. You wouldn't have grudge against me for telling you the wrong name right?"
"Of course not, do I look that shallow?"
"Nooooo"
"I won't hold a grudge and I knew you were lying"
"Great, Thank you"
"Come Cece you could have chosen a better fake name but I would appreciate it if you at least not run like the devil is chasing you when you see me"
"What I don't look like Cece and don't take it personally, I do that to the entire community"
"A matter a fact you don't most girls that have names that are a repetition of two letters that I have met so far are 99.9 % and that's assuming they didn't get their skin done and we're neighbours would you like it if I bolted every time you were in a 5-metre radius?"
"Thanks, and would it be bad if I said yes to that question?"
He looked at me with the "are you stupid expression?'.
"Yes, it would be, say hi before you break Usain's record sprinting to your house."
"Fine, I'll say Good Morning when I see you out for Jogs if I happen to be outside."
His request sounded more like an order and I was a bit nervous what would he do if I didn't?
Cancel the Collaboration?
Make me lose my Job?.
"Promise?"
"I promise I will "
"Good G-"
Mr Hale and Mr Wilson walked down the hallway so he didn't finish his sentence.
Good, what was he about to say?
I kind of wanted him to finish the sentence, what was the ending?
Good, great you'll stop ignoring me?
Good, glad we came to terms?
Hmm...….
Theo's POV:
I almost said, 'Good Girl'
I know nothing about her besides where she lives, her name and her job. I'm jumping more than the gun right now, I'm jumping the whole shooter,
Luckily Lois and Mr Wilson walked out at that exact time and stopped me. We all walked to the exit since all matters were finalized.
"Congrats on the move Mr Adonis, may I ask where you moved to?
"I thanks moved into uh... Atherton"
I said trying to recall the name of the neighbourhood.
"Oh, Miss Snow lives there as well I believe"
She smiled nervously and nodded.
"Yeah we're actually neighbours; we live right next to each other."
Louis gave me a look.
"Well actually one kilometre away from each other you know the houses are pretty spaced out there" Ms Snow laughed nervously.
She glared at me.
"What a coincidence, you must feel assured that someone you live so close with is working on the project, you can question the progress at any time, I'll be counting on Ms Snow to butter you up" He laughed.
Oh would I love for Ms Snow to butter me up and in more ways than one, would butter be good for sensory play.
Nothing tried, nothing was done.
"Yeah, check the progress anytime" I nodded.
We chatted about our hobbies for a while before we left heading our separate ways.
"Louis you saved me without knowing it"
"What did I do?"
"Before you walked in I almost called Alice, good girl"
"You didn't? "
"I almost did"
"She is pretty hot but she made the most soothe after Daddy want to drop the Baby Girl title on her in less than a day, you saw her naked didn't you?"
"Not completely she did have a bathrobe on"
"Silk?"
" No this cute thick Cheshire Cat one from Alice in Wonderland, it gave off the same vibe though"
"Oh Alice in Wonderland, has you following her down the rabbit hole seems not that bad to go down"
"Don't even think about it or I'll snitch to Kara"
"I wasn't thinking about anything, Kara is more than enough for me.
"Simp"
"Hey at least I haven't had blue balls for three years, I bet your virginity is growing back and your stroke game has gone weak."
"Ouch, Touché my friend Touché, you had to go there"
We got in the car and went back to the office to finish the mountains of paperwork; I stroked my bruised ego along the way.
