Thread: Shifty Eye's [Broken x Lied]

Nicole went to work today with a positive outlook. She was going to get things done today, and would finalize a big project that had taken months to get through. It would be easy, she hoped. Sometimes it was hard to stay focused and disciplined upon work while secluded in her own office space. There really was no one to look over her shoulder and keep her on task. It was quite, lonely, and even dreary at times. Nicole had tried to brighten it up by using a cheery shade of orange on the walls, and had used accents in yellow to pop upon her desktop. A yellow gerber daisy, a yellow notepad keeper, a yellow mousepad, a yellow bunny figurine... There were no yellow picture frames, though. No pictures of family, friends, or pets. If there was any one thing in life she was closed off to, it was her willingness to open up and be relaxed about the relationships in her life. Otherwise, Nicole was quite a well-rounded individual, and was good at carrying conversations. This janitor, however, was a hard nut to crack. In past efforts of breaking the ice between them she would only receive a feint smile or a nod of the head in return. It was well overdue the time of being just another face about the office building. But Nicole only knew his name as Leo because of the appliqued name-patch on his drab uniform. It wasn't as if he had offered to her his name...or number. As Leo entered the office Nicole looked up from her computer and instantly saw the headphones in his ears. It had become a routine now. She had learned that he wouldn't socialize with anyone, and when there was headphones in his ears you were lucky to at least get a nod of ackowledgement from him. Nicole put her chin into her palm, her elbow upon the desk beside her keyboard, and took to watching him for a couple of seconds. He was very fetching, in her opinion. She will admit that she would be tickled to learn his phone number...she'd bet that Leo was a completely different personality outside the job. He was just one of those types who took his job duties very seriously, everyone surmised. Nicole sighed, and went back to work as Leo disapeared upon the floor somewhere with his silent vacuum. She was wearing her favorite outfit today. It was part of that positive upkeep she was determined to maintain all day. The phone rang...and Nicole answered it so fast that it had never had a chance to ring a second time. She felt bubbly, and felt as though she could deal with any issue anyone would throw at her. Hello Mrs. Childers! ....yes, yes I did look into that the other day... Nicole adjusted in her seat, leaning back, knowing this would be a semi-lengthy conversation. Well you see, the property has become decoupled when your lawyer made that mistake... Nicole moved one hand to her breasts and adjusted the neck hem of the low-cut shirt back in place, so that the lacey edge of her bra wasn't peeking anymore. Her eyes cut a glance towards Leo...silently wondering if he had noticed...she liked to feel slutty, but not desperately so. No no, I am sure it was just a mistake on his part ma'am. He would take no benefit in making a move such as that one. Nicole noticed how Leo dipped closer towards under her desk, and after a minute or two, Nicole writhed her hips and crossed her legs...a bit modestly. It will maybe take another month or two to fix things up and then you will be able to sell the property. Right now it is landlocked because of that mistake, but it only takes one judge to sign off on it, so is an easy process. Nicole started to bob her ankle up and down, flashing her strappy, black heels. She smiled and giggled at something that Mrs. Childers said, yes, I will be working late tonight, perhaps even after hours when everyone else has skedaddled. But I don't expect for you to show up that late ma'am. It will be ok to bring me those papers tomorrow morning. I will get them processed for you then. Nicole nodded, and smiled a final time, Sounds good. ...alright...bye bye. Nicole hung up the phone and sighed. She looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, framed in yellow, and then uncrossed her legs and leaned forwards back to her computer screen. She flicked some stray strands of her polished, angled bob haircut back into place, and set herself back to work again. Seemingly trying to ignore the presence of a hot janitor in her small, lonely office space.
