Thread: Shifty Eye's [Broken x Lied]

She really couldn't figure Leo out. Everyone in the old building presumed 'Leo the janitor' was shy and socially awkward. But it was times like these, when he paused to look down upon her with those unwaverng eyes, did 'shyness' not cut the bill. Socially awkward may be truth, but there was no bashfulness, timidness, or sheepfulness in that gaze he gave Nicole from way up high. Nicole's return gaze was inexperienced and wishful, puzzled and daring. So many emotional avenues clumped together within her gold eyes that you could just tell, that tonight, she would be laying in bed going over this moment in time like a broken record, no matter which way Leo's answer swung. Then, Leo quickly finished up and crouched down upon the desk. She took a sudden, deep breath that made her balloon-sized globes fill the confines of her bra. She had never been this close to Leo before, let alone had his unfiltered focus like this. She dropped both hands into her lap and gave him a biddable smile. What else does a woman do when the spotlight is upon her? He reached into his backpocket and procured a business card, and Nicole watched how easily athletic he was. She sat quietly as he scribbled something upon it. Her eyes dabbed between his hands, and his face. She admired his hands how handy and strong they looked. She outstretched her hand to take the card when he was done. But before laying it in her fingers he paused, and then reached further and slipped it into her cleavage instead. Her mouth dropped open, entirely shocked. The slipping sensation of the card's rough edges skidding between her flesh made blood rush and juices flow. She really was flabbergasted, and at a loss for anything to say back to him. Nicole placed her palm over her cleavage, then, providing a roof for the business card to be housed under. He winked and then exited the room, and Nicole finally closed her gapping jaw. He is NOT shy , she told herself. I'll come for you - It excited her like none other. The mystery...the intrigue...the suspence. The not-knowing, and the loss of having some sense of control when he took the ball into his court, all about drove her senseless for the remaining hours of the work shift. She could barely function upon what needed to get finished, now. Her drive had shifted its purpose. By the time her shift was over she was more then ready to go home. Original plans would have put her working late hours in the office to push these projects out the door, but she abandoned that. Nicole really didn't have a hub for finishing projects right now. She just wanted to go home and lustfully simmer over Leo. Now that shyness was no longer a part of his blueprints, ...creepiness did sort of fill that gap. It crossed her mind a few times. But entertaining that thought took energy away from other, more magnificent fancies. However the case, Nicole never thought that Leo's written words meant anything other then some future day down the road - maybe in a week or so. He would slip her a note as she worked in her small office, call her on the phone, bump into each other on a lunch break... As Nicole walked down the hallway towards the double doors that opened into the parking garage she noticed that Leo ended up being directly behind her. This had never happened before. It made her a little too self-aware of how her heels clicked on the tiles, and how her short, white skirt rode upon her hips. She tucked her purse closer into her body under the swell of her right breast, not because she was scared for her security, but because she felt uncertain and uneasy. Do I say something to him? Should I pretend I didn't see him? He is not much for chit-chat though...gods, this is so awkward. She struggled with this all the way down the hallway, through the doors, and out towards her silver Audi. She noticed his red truck next to hers, and didn't entirely remember it being like that this morning. Now, those fleeting thoughts of him being a weird creep was coming back to her. She didn't even have to look back at him to feel his looming presence keeping pace behind her. By the time she reached her car she decided to at least say hi and ackowledge Leo, and not be rude. She opened her car door and layed her purse down upon the seat, and before moving to sit down she stood at the door and gave Leo a small wave of her hand, Hello again. Her voice was lacking confidence. I hope the rest of your day went well?
