She was walking by him and he caught her eye. “He’s cute.” She smiled and kept walking to her desk. She glanced over and saw him staring at her. He waived.
Maybe I should IM him. She thought, but didn’t know his name. Nina went back to work, she didn’t want anyone to know what she was doing. This office is so noisy, everyone in everybody’s business. I’m sure everyone is fucking everybody anyway. “I’m not going to get caught up in this shit, no matter how fine he is. I’m not noisy and I could already tell the girl at the end of my cubicle is fucking everyone. How many guys be walking up to her desk. That’s not the way to do it. Shit I could be fucking half those guys but they’re not going to broadcast it to the whole office.
Jion Williams would like to add you to his/her instant messenger. Nina accepted. “Who are you?” She typed.
“I saw you walking by and wanted to say hi.” He wrote back.
“You’re that guy who I just past?” She wrote.
“Yeah.” He wrote. How he know my name? She thought. He works fast. She just noticed him today.
“How do you know my name?” She asked.
“I got connections. I asked your supervisor. If you don’t mind.” He said.
“I don’t.” She looked over at him. Interest was peaked, but she’s not interested in getting attached or setting up a relationship. If the conversation went well then she’ll think about turning him out. If his head isn’t right then she’ll send him on his way. Pass him on to someone else. “How are you doing?” She wrote. They started talking back and forth. He said he’ll stop by her desk and say hi. She told him not to, she doesn’t want to get in trouble with her supervisor. She just didn’t want him to let everyone know he was interested in her. This job did have more men working here than women. It was strange but true. Most of the names on her IM were of guys. All of them invited themselves to her, not the other way around, so all of them were interested.
