“I’m thinking too much into things.” You told yourself as you stared into your bathroom mirror, brushing your teeth. “I just need to.. not worry so much.” You spit your toothpaste out and rinsed your mouth out with some water. “Everything will be fine.” You reminded yourself, smiling in the mirror to check your teeth.
Arriving at work was exhausting, between the morning traffic, the security, the busy hallways, by the time you got to your desk you already wanted to get home. Until Spencer walks in.
The way he.. brightens your day is.. unfair. You hate how much of an impact he has on your day!
“Spencer!” You smiled, a little nervous, as he walked by your desk.
“Oh hi.” He gave an awkward little smile.
You looked for something to say, but your mind and voice failed you at the same time.
“Your.. hair. It looks nice. Styled differently— did you know most women in the office don’t actually care about how they look unless they find a coworker attractive?—“ Spencer started, before noticing your embarrassed and nervous look.
“I’m sorry.” He said looking back down as he gripped his messenger bag.
Spencer realized just how weird he sounded, and quickly made his way through the bullpen He disappeared into his office so fast you almost wondered if you'd imagined the whole interaction.
What in the world is a good response for that?
"Uh... thank you." You nodded slowly.
Spencer realized just how weird he sounded, and quickly made his way through the bullpen.
You watched him disappear into his office.
You stared down at your desk for a moment before looking back at your already dark computer screen
You didn't even remember sitting there long enough for that to happen.
"I'm thinking too much into things."
You pressed the space bar to wake the screen.
"He was probably just sharing a fact."
That was normal. Well... Normal for Spencer.
You logged in, determined to focus on literally anything else. Your inbox loaded and you read your first of many emails of the day,.
All of a sudden "Morning."
You looked up to see Morgan, coffee in hand.
You two weren’t really friends, but you certainly knew of each other, but now especially, Morgan was very interested in what’s going on between you and Spencer.
"Morning." You responded, a small nod.
"You know..” he started, a small grin on his face as he leaned on your desk. “Only when he’s around someone he likes does he go on like that.."
Had he been listening in?! Oh god this was so embarrassing.
“Spencer?— oh i don’t think that’s exactly true!— I think he just enjoys telling people facts and such...” your voice got quieter as you realized how ridiculous you sounded.
“Sure.” Derek smiled and moseyed his way to his desk next to Spencer.
When Derek sat down, Spencer tried to seem all nonchalant, but was quick to ask what the two were talking about.
“So uh.. what were you guys talking about?” Spencer didn’t look away from his computer.
Derek smirked and looked over at Spencer.
“Nothing to worry about pretty boy.” He turned back to his computer.
You had wandered into the break room around the same time as Spencer, where he was making his already too sweet coffee even sweeter.
“You’ll rot your teeth with all that cream and sugar.” You smiled, trying to make light conversation with a small joke.
Spencer looked at you with a surprised face. “Oh uh.. i don’t actually drink this enough to raise the probability of cavities.. it’s like drinking any other soda or eating candy.”
You looked at him with a slight head tilt. “Right..” you agreed as a smile slowly formed on your lips.
Spencer gave his regular awkward smile before handing you the cream. “Would you like any?”
You nodded and smiled. “Yes, thank you.”
As you took the creamer from him your hand accidentally touched his causing both of your faces grow pink as you quickly use the cream as he finally walks away.
Thank you again guys for all the likes!! It really keeps me going knowing that people are actually reading this lol. <3
