After a good nights rest Neil woke up and let out a long yawn, he was feeling better after the talk with Faye last night.
The only that could possibly ruin it is running into (he has come to hate anybody with that name) Jacob
"Ok. Neil if you do run into him. Be nice" he said to himself as he put his glasses on and was going to go out the door before looking at the helmet
A thought crossed his mind but he quickly brushed it off and headed out the door
As he was heading to work, the thought crossed his mind again as he remembered his talk with Faye in the terminal. Something about the way she hugged made him see her as maybe a little something more than a friend. And all the teasing she did. He admitted to himself that he thought she was better in her original form than in her Eva form. As a small blush came across his face, he quickly shaked his head and continued heading to work
As he opened the door. He was greeted. If you want to call greet "jumping in your face and scaring you" by Roxanne, who was as usual, in her happy demeanor "Hey Neil! How are you doing on this fine day?"
"Uh..I'm fine, were you just waiting for me this entire time?"
"Yes she was" Rob said as he rolled his eyes
"Who cares? I wanted to say hi to a friend" Roxanne say happily
"...nice to see you too" he said as walked to his office
"Byeeee!" Roxanne said happily
He didn't see Jacob anywhere so that was a good sign for him as he finally got to his office, he saw Eva standing there seemingly waiting for him
Neil looked confused and scared at the same as they looked at each other for a while
"Uh..I think you got the wrong office" Neil finally spoke up
"Yeah I know I'm in the wrong office" Eva said rolling her eyes
"Then why are you in here?" Neil said confused
"Neil. don't act like I didn't notice something was going on yesterday with you. What's wrong?" Eva asked
"Nothings wrong I just was stressed about something" Neil responded
"You are the most horrible liar on this entire planet" Eva said remembering his bullshit story about why he needed painkillers
"Yeah I know, can we not talk about this right now?" Neil asked
"No, we're talking about this right now"
"Fine, jeez" Neil said rolling his eyes how rob would.
"Neil, cmon. We've known each other for years. I always know when something is bothering you" Eva asked worried
Once again with Faye, he knew she wasn't gonna stop bothering him unless he told her, but telling Eva Is worse than telling Faye. Because unlike Faye, Eva is, well used to be his love interest. He didn't know how she would feel about it..but he knew this was the only way.
"I'm surprised you don't know Eva"
Eva looked confused "What?"
Neil looked down and sat on his chair "The reason I came into the room yesterday is because..."
Neil stayed quiet for a while until Eva spoke up
"Because what?"
"Because I wanted to confess my love to you ok?!" Neil yelled out but not loud enough for everyone to hear as Evas eyes went wide
"Ive loved you since school. I just never found the right time. And when I did try to. You..you found someone else..." Neil said as he sighed
"I-Im sorry..Neil.." Eva responded as she stood next to him "I don't know how to feel now..."
"Listen Eva it's fine. Ok? I talked with someone and I realized that..I may have been in love with you since school. But it seems that you're not for me..maybe someone else is" Neil said as he remembered the night with Faye
Eva looked at him "are you sure you're alright?"
"Of course I am Eva." Neil smiled at her "But there is something I need to know"
"What's that?" Eva asked
"Can we be still be friends" Neil asked
"What do you think idiot?" Eva said as she facepalmed but then stopped and nodded
"Thanks Eva" Neil said as Eva left his office
The day went normal so far, no awkward interactions between Neil and Eva, Robert and Roxanne being themselves. It was a normal day for everyone.
After Neil said goodbye to Eva as he left, he was thinking of heading home, but decided to head somewhere else before doing so
