The next day, after every going to give Chell her medication, Wheatley was, like every other Monday, working as the cashier in Cafe A Late.
To Wheatley's surprise, the pharmacist came in at around sixish (The cafe closed at eight) and ordered a coffee and doughnut.
"Hello, miss, what can I get for you today?" Wheatley asked with his silly-but-absolutely-charming smile.
"Oh, I'd like a black coffee and a... Bavarian Bismark Creme doughnut." The nice lady who had just walked, who also happened to be the nice pharmacist from TX/RX Pharmacy.
"Sure thing, that will be... $4.21." Wheatley told her.
"Okay, here's a five." The lady handed him a Five Dollar Bill.
"Seventy-nine cents is your change, there we go, it'll be just a minute before your order's ready, Dan's still making a new batch of doughnuts." Wheatley told her happily,
"Thank you. Wait, aren't you the guy who came in for Levomepromazine? Millard, was it?" The lady asked him.
Wheatley felt a bit nervous "Yes, that was me, I was getting medication for this... Lady, who was... Following... Me around." Wheatley said uncomfortably.
"Oh, so, she's a deranged psychotic who really likes you?" She asked.
"Yeah, that's about it, except I don't 'really like' her, it's really uncomfortable." He said,
"Well my name's Laura Avery." Laura said, extending her hand while trying to change the subject.
"My name is Millard Wheatley, but I'd like it if you called me Wheatley, pleasure to meet you." Wheatley said while shaking Laura's hand, feeling as if he had mastered the art of 'social interaction'.
"Wheatley!" A voice called from the kitchen in the back.
"That would be Dan, be back in a minute.
A few minutes later, Wheatley came back to the front carrying a tray filled with doughnuts, which he slid into a compartment in the counter after he handed Laura her doughnut and coffee.
"Thanks, I guess I'll see you later, then." Laura said, beginning to turn around.
"Wait, before you go, could I have your 'phone number'?" Wheatley asked, air quotes and all.
"Sure." She said, she tore a small piece of paper off of her 'receipt' and used a small pen from her purse to write her 10 digit numerical order down on the slip off paper that she handed to Wheatley.
"Thanks, I'll 'call' you later." Wheatley said, once again using air quotes.
"That'll be great, I'll talk to you then." She said, then she turned and left through the front door.
Later that day, Wheatley locked the store and went up to 'his' apartment to talk to GLaDOS.
As soon as he went up the stairs and talked to her, she interrogated him.
"Who is she?" GLaDOS demanded, using her Drone to point at the image of Laura on the television.
"Oh, that's,,, Wait a minute, how did you get that?" Wheatley asked, pointing at the very same television.
"I got it from the security camera in the lobby, I ask again: Who is she?" GLaDOS demanded yet again.
"Okay, first: Stop spying on me, it's creepy. Second: SHE is Laura, she's the pharmacist that gave me Chell's medicat-OH GOOD GOD HER MEDICATION!" Wheatley's eyes practically bulged out of their sockets when he realized that he had not yet gone to administer her second pill-taking.
He ran to the bathroom, grabbed the pill bottle, then bolted down the stairs and out the door as fast as possible.
When he got to Chell's apartment, he was absolutely relieved that she was peacefully sitting on her couch watching a movie about two long lost lovers destined to be together.
When he burst through the door, Chell sneak-ahugged him and squealed.
"Wheatley! I didn't think you were coming again!" Chell squealed like a little school girl who was just told that her Barbie dolls had come to life and wanted to take her to the magical Fairy Land where she would rule over them forever as the Fairy Goddess who could eat chocolate and cake and strudel and schnitzel all day long and keep peace throughout the world while spreading rainbows and love across the land.
Yes, you just read that right.
"Here, take this." Wheatley said frantically, practically throwing the pill at her.
"Oh, thanks." Chell said, swallowing the pill.
"I actually need to, go, now... I have some things I need to do..." Wheatley told her.
"Oh, well, okay, I guess you'd better go, then." Chell said, disappointed.
"Well, then, bye, I guess..." Wheatley said, then he left before things could get anymore awkward.
Wheatley got back to his apartment, but when he went upstairs, panels came down and covered up the door, preventing it from opening.
Weird.
"Who. Is. She?" GLaDOS demanded angrily
"SHE. IS. LAURA. She is the pharmacist I got Chell's medication from!" Wheatley replied, fed up with the repeated question.
"Oh. So she isn't your friend?" GLaDOS asked.
"What? Yes, she is my friend, I met her today, well, I 'met' her yesterday, but I didn't know her name... So I made an acquaintance with her today. Happy?" Wheatley said.
GLaDOS said nothing as she unblocked the entrance door and shut off for the night.
She was jealous.
A./N.
Laura has brown eyes, blondish hair, is about 5' 9, slightly tan skin, she's just a little bit pudgy, but definitely not fat by any stretch of the imagination.
And now, review responses.
Guest: ...Uhh... Thanks? I guess?
GraceDaGurl Review One: Aww! You've made me feel all warm and fuzzy insi-*SLAP* (HEY! STOP TAKING MY WALLET YOU FREAK!)
GraceDaGurl Review Two: Yus! My Mental Disorder/Thought Experiment/Creep Test/Writing Practice was a success! My life is complete!

And now, Pineapples. Lots of them.
I am now adding to my thought experiment with GLaDOS being jealous of Wheatley's (Spoiler: Future girlfriend and maybe wife, haven't decided yet) acquaintance!
