You and Me

Chapter 1

She'd be back from Sri Lanka in a few hours Auggie was sitting at his desk not really doing anything expect thinking about his best friend. She had gone through a lot in the last couple of days. She found out who Ben really was, she probably fell for him all over again anyway, now he was dead, she lost him again. It was just history repeating itself. She realized Jai had been lying to her and she learned that she had only been pulled out of training to be the bait for Mercer. Basically, what it came down to was that everybody had been lying to her. He just hoped that she would believe him when he told her that he didn't know any of this.

What was gonna happen when she was back? Would she hate them all? Would she quit? Would she believe him? Would he lose her? He didn't even care if she quit anymore, even If that meant he wouldn't see her again, he just wanted her to believe him. Hell he couldn't blame her if she wanted out but of course he would rather have her stay where he could have her close every day. He needed her in his life, she was his best friend and he wasn't gonna give that up, that was not even a point of discussion.

Stu joined him in the office they shared.

"Auggie, what are you still doing here? They got out of Sri Lanka just fine hours ago, well except for Mercer of course. Your job is done for now, go home."

"No, I'm waiting `till they come back, they're gonna be debriefed before they can go home so they have to come back here. I'll just stick around."

"Come on Auggie, you're dead on your feet, go home, get some rest, they're fine."

"What the hell? What do you mean they're fine? Annie just realized that basically everybody in this organization has been lying to her since day one, the man she loved for so long died in her arms, everything is falling apart and you are telling me she is fine? Are you kidding me?"

Stu was surprised to hear Auggie basically yelling at him. Everybody loved the blind tec guy and everybody, or almost, was on great terms with him, he couldn't remember a time when Auggie had raised his voice like this.

"No I said they were fine. God what is it with you two Auggie? You've never been like this with other colleagues"

"She's not just a colleague, she's my best friend so of course I care!"

"Yeah right, best friend, my ass!" Stue mumbled but of course Auggie had heard him.

"What? What on earth do you mean by that?" There was no doubt Auggie was agitated and mad. Stu decided it was worry and love that made him act like this. He wasn't blind; he had realized a while ago that Auggie looked at Annie differently than at other female coworkers. He had also noticed that he hadn't done the walk of shame anymore, or at least not that often. To him there was only one explanation to what had happened to his ladies man colleague. Auggie Anderson was utterly and completely in love with Annie Walker. He didn't know if Auggie himself didn't know it yet or was just not ready to admit it to himself, Annie or others.

"Oh come on Auggie, everybody can see there's more than friendship between you two. You just have to admit it to yourself." Auggie had nothing to say to that and just stared at him dumbly.

"Auggie come on, she likes you too, you need to make your move cause otherwise all the other guys who are already placing bets at when you two are gonna hook up will be testing their luck and ask her out."

"Stop it Stu, it's… it's just… you know… it's just really complicated right now."

"It will never get easier Auggie, not in our job, there's always something." With that he left the office and Auggie alone.

He was thinking bout what Stue had said. He was right, he had deeper feelings for Annie, who was he kidding? He was in love with her, madly. He didn't really have a lot to offer to her and for god's sake he was blind. He usually was a very confident person and absolutely comfortable with his blindness, especially around woman, he had learned to use it to his advantage, he was a ladies' man, and everybody knew that. The difference though was that he wasn't in love with his casual sex partners. But anyway, right now all he wanted was to know that she was more or less alright.
