Kat has made profit, two weeks since Raj gave her one Bitcoin to trade with. They have grown intimate with each other. Not in a sexual kinda way but still was something.
True to say, they had their first moment yesterday. Felt real- maybe to Raj. She didn't notice it. But, that doesn't mean it didn't happen.
She can relate to that. She knows that all the time things are happening far from her vicinity. She doesn't know the details but it doesn't mean it didn't happen. She tried to think of scientific word but failed to. She tries to be a scientist but fails terribly.
Raj though about acting on it, always works to get the distraction from his way before it's too late. He would ask for her thoughts. He sure as hell never plans on telling her about his friend Ana,who happens to be her roommate. He would be risking it all. The relationship so far was solid.
Ana is still giving him info on her. In exchange he is giving her cash. Another day she told him about where they live, she took him to their place. Not long after that, his sister called and he drove home. She never understands his relationship with his family, she never had one. Not that she can think of.
Is Ana going to be true to her word? Will she bless their relationship if it ever happens? That's up to her.
Having a one night stand or something like that would get rid of the tension between them- so he thought. He didn't know that Kat was not actually into him or anything like that, the moment was nothing to her - he misread it.
He wasn't alone, Priya witnessed their moment, when they crossed hands reaching for the same drink during lunch.
She inquired of it, Kat tossed her concerns aside with a joke as it wasn't the same with her.
Whatever moment Priya and Raj saw didn't happen- not to her. Which would make her seemingly smooth life here at GPLAy Inc a disaster, not long. She is nothing if not honest to herself, she always try to be. Hardly fails.
" Raj is definitely not my type, he's too normal . We should not be talking about this, it's wrong ", she replied to Priya's concerns.
"Coming from dominant queen who wants to mount the firm ' he's too normal ' (she imitated Kat) she imitated Kat. And you aren't?". Kat shook her head , hard to read on it, if in agreement or opposing.
"No time to waste on guys here, you should have seen how much I made from that Bitcoin ", Kat was enthusiastic. Corporate talks are better, seeing her beauty beyond bodily features, her beautiful brains.
If only her friends cared about that.
Priya was the first to disregard her trading triumphs, "I don't trust you, even girls have urges. I am a girl you know, but I have wet dreams like every one of those jerks". That was new to Kat and strange to boys.
"Bruno, what do you think?", Kat thought asking a guy would put it to rest- they are the dumbest creatures she knows of. She questioned the truth of it and knew to the core Bruno was lost too.
Bruno tried to get busy with some paperwork, Lee answered it for him instead," My girlfriend likes it when I return the favor, guess she has urges as well.
Weird, (he shook his head) do you have urges?", directed to Kat. Two weeks to the company and already diverting from her core objective- each day talking boys and sex. It was making her head lose focus on what mattered and think of sex
She flushed, but retaining control. "I have urges, just not in my loins . You should try that sometimes ", purred at Lee who now was facing them and doing nothing. The girls were multitasking.
She was hiding the fact that she had never had a wet dream. She thought it was meant for guys, too afraid to ask Priya about it. Maybe later, when guys are not close .
Lee busted.
"Trust me, I did. Just ended up clearing my browsing history each day before going out , not before Gunn himself witnessed how dirty I was.
(He covers his mouth then continues)
He can track whatever we do with his devices, even our company given phones.
(Priya makes a sad face. Kat is in disbelief, it can't be true)
Haha, hope you didn't search anything I would, did you?", Lee was chuckling.
Kat didn't fear of that coming out. She knows her browsing history is clean, not that she remembers doing anything illegal. She doesn't like such videos – something to do with it being centered on guys . "I don't watch it, feels demeaning "
" Are you genophobic?", Lee asked.
"Fear of sex ,nah, only seeing other people do it. Like I said, it's demeaning ", she acted tough. In the insides she was nothing but a innocent little girl, she never wanted to show that part of her. It would make her vulnerable.
Bruno was still hung up on the idea of female wet dreams. He was trying to ask the internet and there it was. Be never would have guessed that. Maybe he had learnt something knew. Be hides it pretty well but he is yet to have sex,. He had dated three girls so far and it all ended before that phase. He is girly than he admits and shows. Still believes in fairy tales.
Priya hardy heard the two talk, she was waiting for her moment to spit out her truth. She was staring at Young from game development department across the transparent glass
She busted looking at him, "the day I dig my claws on my guy, there'll be nothing left for the next girl. Kat knows what I'm talking about, right?". Kat nodded.
"Is it me?", Lee joked charmingly.
"Nah", Priya let him down. He wasn't hurt by her , maybe he accepted the reality of them not being compatible. Furthermore, he has a girlfriend out there. The only one in there who had something going on in his life.
Bruno joined the conversation. He had been left out for too long looking for wet dreams. He had to try his luck with the one who actually confessed to having wet dreams. She can share more later.
"I already thought of us making a blue eyed girl with curly hair like yours",he said.
"You overdid it, you're not my type. Try Kat maybe ", Priya insinuated.
"She's gone ", Lee implied as Kat left the room.
Kat left, maybe sex wasn't interesting talking about when her hymen was intact. Running from it before inescapable humiliation of being found out was right move.
Lee went back to his monitor and Priya to paperwork on her compactly packed desk. Bruno glanced at her with admiration, he hoped that one day he can get his shot with Priya.
He liked Kat too. Just saw her to be too stubborn. Too much energy for him to handle. Afraid that she would disclose his situation to others if they ever get intimate. He is still very shy around everything, even his own mirror reflection.
××××××××××
Raj isn't romantic. Kat knows that without doubt, he is just like his nerd friends . She wondered if he is half as innocent as he let out, was he or was his claws hidden? She just had a lot to learn about him. If she knew it she would have confronted him long ago.
For the two weeks she had squeezed herself into their lives, she has known as much about them all. The graphic designers are the worst, they visualizes everything – that's what Raj said.
They are decent humans though. They never make her feel uncomfortable but always unwelcomed. She just is used to it by now and can't quite true if they are genuinely antisocial or trying to be.

Today's potion was over, Kat overstayed trying to make sense of some documents before getting the funds approved by finance.
They had been working on new marketing ventures for the company, it's more cost effective than the orthodox ones. Her guts were sure that it would be approved by finance and even echoed after inescapable success.
That made her the last person to leave GPLAy. She hoped to stumble upon Gunn, although couldn't admit it to herself. That didn't happen, guess she really needed to see him . It had been long since they met, he hoped he didn't forget her yet.
She said goodnight to the security guard at the entrance before going out. The night was chilly and the air around her was thick, for some reason. She felt afraid.
She isn't that orderly, forgot to carry a sweater for the night. Her blouse was just too light. She would freeze out before the Uber arrives.
She strode past parking lot hastily. She noticed that only one car was still there- Raj's. She didn't think anyone was left until now- not even Gunn. He must be out with his crowd partying, she would have liked to be in there. Even if the odd one out.
A shadow came out of the vehicle towards her, she saw it as her basic instincts cautioned her to be ready. She drew a V on the phone's screen switching on the flashlight. She was afraid to point it directly to the shadow.
She directed all she had on the figure, ready to scream for help in case of anything. Not like she knew who each car belonged to.
"Hello! Who's there?", she asked as the figure progressed.
When he was too close she almost screamed before he talked," it's me", finally, a voice she recognized all too well. Why did he make it seem like one of the horror movies she had watched. In real life it is scary than it looked, that was true to her.
