Office Thoughts

Reyna paused as she looked at her desk. A carefully crafted paper rose stood up from a treat bag. The bag was decorated with pink and red hearts. Through the clear plastic, various sweets like chocolate and sweethearts sat. What drew Reyna's eyes were the jellybeans, not a typical Valentine goodie. Lacy, her cubicle mate, grinned gleefully as Reyna sat down.

"You have an admirer!" She clapped her hands together. Reyna sighed as she pulled in the various wires into her laptop, eying the rose. It wasn't perfect with wrinkles and tears but the gesture brought a smile to her lips. "Ah, is he chipping away are your icy shields?"

"Shut up." Reyna murmured, plucking the rose and twirling it in her fingers. "Let me guess, Jason from IT came to visit." Lacy nodded her head as she placed her hands on her cheeks, sighing adoringly. Reyna shook her head at the girl's reaction. Jason was the person in charge of setting up her workstation and permissions for all the accounts needed for her new job. Reyna picked up a wireless mouse. "He was only delivering this. I asked him for one."

"Oh, was that all?" Lacy deflated as she slumped in her seat. The blonde is clearly starving for some cute meet office romance to gossip over. She rolled her chair over to Reyna, looking at her with those big blue eyes. "But how do you explain the flower? Or the sweets?" Reyna shrugged, feeling the heat rise to her cheeks as she unlocked her laptop. "Reyna…" Lacy whined before getting her things and rushing to a meeting.

Reyna smiled at Lacy response before looking over some documents. There were a few notifications in her in-office messenger chat. A few updates from her team about work progress, some HR forms she needed to fill out, and random chatter from everyone. A red bubble beside Jason's name indicated the messages he sent her. She ignored them, checking her calendar instead. She's slowly getting used to the fast pace of her team as a project manager.

"Is Jason bothering you?" Reyna looked over her monitors to see Drew, a member of her team, asked. The senior girl unraveled a piece of chocolate, popping it into her mouth. "If he is, I'll tell him off for you." Reyna quickly shook her head.

"No, no, not at all." Reyna answered quickly, shaking her head. "He's not bad. He's actually quite sweet and funny. I'm not used to all the attention and it's not just Jason. A cute guy being interested is the least of my worries. This project is pretty big for Olympus. I don't want to mess it up." Drew gave her a soft encouraging smile.

"We're a team, Reyna. If you feel uncertain about anything, feel free to ask Lacy and I." Drew said as she swept up her long hair into a neat bun. She slipped on a pair of glasses, adjusting them. "I hired you, knowing you can do this job. I don't make mistakes." Reyna laughed at Drew's confidence, feeling the tightness in her chest ease just a bit. She returned to her documents, typing steadily answering questions she was sure of. A tiny notification popped up in the corner of the screen. She sighed, there was another meeting to attend.

"All these meetings are brutal." Reyna murmured as she stood up, grabbing her things. She pocketed the bag of sweets, needing the extra energy. Drew waved as Reyna left, rushing to the other side of the office. Her heels clicked against the concrete floor. The developers will need the screens from UX. Rachel should have them done. Reyna thought. She didn't notice the hand grabbing her elbow. Reyna gasped as she was pulled into a supply closet. Her chest bumped into a solid mass as hands steadied her.

"Jason!" The young man smiled in response as he looked down towards her. Reyna hugged her laptop to her chest, fixing him with a look. "I almost dropped my laptop."

"I know a guy who can replace that." Jason replied smugly, running his hands up and down her arm. Jason's tall frame fit neatly in the tight space. He leaned casually against a stack of boxes, trapping Reyna between his legs. She looked up at him, taking in his half-illuminated profile. A sly grin played against his lips. His blue eyes sparkled behind his thick black glasses. "You're ignoring my messages."

"One of us has to do work." Reyna quipped as she stepped forward, placing a hand on his chest. Her fingers curled around the fabric and pulled him forward. She kissed him softly, smiling against his warm lips. Jason's hand cupped her chin, angling her lips to kiss her properly. Her eyes fluttered close, letting herself to fall into the kiss. "Thank you for the flower." Reyna whispered as she stepped away, stroking his jaw. Jason looked so content as he gazed at her.

"Of course." He murmured, his breath still fanning her face. It smelt like chocolate mints, rich and intoxicating. "Bet Lacy had a hay day." Reyna chuckled softly, pressing her forehead against his collarbone. Her hand squeezed his side, curling into his warmth. "I still can't believe you're here. When you said you were starting a new job…"

Reyna nodded against him. A ridiculous series of events lead them here. Reyna and Jason met on a dating app, matched because her GPS was acting up. She lived a city away, applying for jobs in various cities. They've chatted for a few days, bonding over TV shows, movies and travel stories, before meeting in person. They went on various different dates like dinner beside the water, walk through the park and pub trivia. They may have been dating exclusively recently but something in Reyna's bones told her, Jason is the one. She isn't sure if being at the same company is a sign from the universe or not.

"You could have mentioned you worked at Olympus." Reyna commented as she pulled back, fixing him with a stare. Jason scratched his cheek sheepishly.

"I never thought a girl like you would want to date a tech nerd like me." Jason answered back. Reyna shook her head at that stupid excuse.

"You know me better than that. And for the record," Reyna started as she smoothed the front of his t-shirt that was ruffled from the make-out session. "I love your nerdiness even if you talk about the latest tech for hours without breathing."

"We're still not telling people we're together?" Jason's question cut through the lightness. Reyna lowered her gaze. "Come on, Reyna. I want to hold your hand in public. Take you out to lunch or coffee. Swing by your desk without an IT excuse." He laced their fingers together. Reyna squeezed his hand. She wanted those as well. She wanted all of those and more but… Reyna doesn't want to be that girl. The girl who wiggled her way into Olympus because her boyfriend works there. The girl who's project failed because she was distracted. She wanted to prove herself that she deserve this position.

"I'm sorry but just a little bit more, Jason. I know I'm selfish but…" Jason nodded his head, an understanding but sad expression crossing his handsome face. Reyna stepped up, kissing his cheek and hugging his form. "Come by tonight. I'll make you dinner." Jason pressed his lips against her temple, whispering 'okay' before leaving the room.

It felt like the warmth left the space along with Jason. Reyna clenched her jaw, frustrated with herself and her stubbornness. She sighed, waiting a beat, before leaving the supply closet. Jason was still in the area, talking to one of his friends as he balanced the ream of print paper in his arms. "Just a bit longer." She murmured, turning away.
