lol. I told you I didn't like it! In response to your...reviews, here is the sequel. Hope its better.
Her Name is Annie
Auggie frowned at his newfound knowledge. Annie loved him, but refused to say anything about it. For once, Auggie was unsure as to his next course of action. He had always loved Annie, but had kept his distance. After Ben, part one, two, and three, he had been afraid to reveal his true feelings. Afraid that she would mistake his feelings for pity. Now, he was learning that she loved him. Him! The blind techno-geek. He wasn't quite sure how to handle it. He could deal with good old-fashioned lust, but love? Not him. Auggie pressed his fingertips to his temples in an effort to dispel his growing headache. He needed to talk to Joan.
Joan was elbow deep in paperwork when Auggie walked in, a look of worry on his face. At first she was afraid that something big had happened, but quickly dismissed this. If it really was so terrible, Arthur would have come instead. Whatever it was, it was bad enough to have shaken Auggie. Then a sudden terrible thought came to the front of her mind. Annie.
"Auggie whats wrong? Is Annie o.k.?"
He leaned against the doorjamb, his face looking dark and shadowed. As if he had lost his best friend in the world. "No, Annie's fine. Better than fine, really. She's in love with me."
Joan was dumbfounded. She knew he had feelings for Annie, everybody knew for that matter, but if she felt the same way...then why did he look so upset?
"Thats great news, Auggie." she said cautiously. "I might have to do some string pulling, but I think I can arrange it so that you can still be her handler."
He shook his head angrily. "No, you don't understand! She loves me, but refuses to admit it. Something about ruining our friendship or something."
that was it? "Well, you DO have the reputation for being a heartbreaker. I can actually understand her reasoning. She is worried that the only reason you are being nice to her is so you can sleep with her, and once you do, you will be through with her."
"Hey! I'm more than nice to her! Plus, I'v never broken any hearts. I have broken up with girls, but I have never broken any hearts. I have this way of making them do it themselves, thinking that its their idea to begin with."
Joan said nothing at this, but her meaning came through as if she shouted it. If thats how he treated other girls, how would he treat Annie?
He scrubbed his hand through his hair. "I didn't mean it that way. You know I would hurt myself before ever hurting Annie. Not after the crap that Mercer put her through." Auggie ground his teeth at his mentioning Mercer's name. The sound was not lost on Joan.
"I'm glad to hear that. Now, what do you think you should do about your little problem?"
"I really have no clue. I was hoping that you would have some advice for me."
"Sorry Auggie. This is your problem and you need to deal with it accordingly. Just make sure it dosn't interfere with work..."
Auggie rolled his sightless eyes. "Thanks for being a whole lotta help there, Joan." he snapped. He turned and went to walk away when he heard a sharp voice.
"Mr Anderson!"
He restrained himself from making any 'Matrix' jokes. She sounded mad.
"I was about to suggest that you take the decision out of her hands. Make sure that she understands your feelings, leave no room for error. If it helps any, think of her as an op."
He turned at this. His body was practically vibrating with fury. "Annie...is...not...an...op!" He snarled.
Joan actually smiled at this. "Good answer August. Now go tell her that!"
His back straight as a board, Auggie walked down the stairs, straight to Annie's desk. When he reached it, he spun her desk chair around and planted his hands firmly on the armrests, cutting off any means of escape.
"Auggie! What are you doing!"
"Something I should have done a long time ago." With this he fisted one hand in her hair, tugging her head back gently. He fastened his mouth to hers, darting his tongue between her lips. His touch was fire and silk as the kiss swept through Annie's body, soaking into every inch of skin. She gasped softly when he finally broke the kiss.
"Wha...why...huh?"
Auggie smirked at this. "Yeah, I know. My kisses tend to leave women speechless. As to why, I think you know. I promise, I will never leave you, betray you, get you shot, kidnapped, or anything else for that matter. I love you Annie Walker, and I hope you love me. Or else I'll look like a complete idiot for doing this."
Afterwards, he turned and walked back to the tech department without another word. He could feel Jai's eyes directing a glare at him. All in all, a good day. Kissed his Annie, pissed Prince Wilcox off, it was a very good day.
Annie quickly excused herself, probably to try to collect her thoughts. Jai looked like he had murder on his mind, and Auggie was looking rather pleased with himself. Joan smiled at this. Her people were so easy to manipulate, sad to say. After all, she had her own way of making people do things and then convincing them that it was their idea to begin with.
