Alanna's return
On Monday, I was in the photocopying room, with a half grin on my face because I was mentally chastising the way my documents had been done. A girl walks in, I look up and Katie is looking back at me. Eye contact in like...half a year or something. I reckon she looked on purpose. She would've seen me before she even came in, and had more than enough time to decide not to look. But we held eye contact as she walked past. I think it was more of a "haven't seen you since I've been back" thing. Now that it's back to the everyday grind, we'll go back to ignoring eachother as normal. But, since I've moved offices, maybe the 'rare' factor will still be there.
I made my lunch in the kitchen while Karina was making hers, so we were talking about her weekend. After I made mine, I went back to my room, ready to check the net on my phone. I saw her walk past, and thought about it for a few moments. Lynette was out at lunch, so I wouldn't have to worry about her. I went to Karina's room and saw her just sitting idly looking out the window. I said "you can come have lunch with me if you want" and so she grabbed her sandwich and came to my room.
Just like last time, we sat there talking and eating. I felt a bit awkward because I felt some pressure to keep things going or something. I talked mainly about Buried. I think Lynette had come back from her lunch, grrr.
Tuesday was Alanna's return. I thought she'd have a tonne of people going to ask her about her trip, so I decided to give her some time. I went to see her after 10ish, and she told me about her trip, which made me want to go to Egypt, but she said they're not allowing people into the pyramids from next year on, so that sucks.
As I watched her talk, she seemed a bit foreign to me. Maybe I had gotten used to work life without her. But at the same time, I felt a sense of welcome hearing her voice.
Later on in the day, I went to see her again. Earlier we had been interrupted when Rheem came by. She asked me how things were, and I said alright. She asked how many briefs I got and I said 15, but that was because I did the easy ones. I closed the door and told her that Ogre would kinda give it back to me without much amending, and Alanna said it was just different styles. I appreciated her not speaking ill of Ogre, that was professionalism, even though I think she secretly liked the fact that I preferred her over Ogre. I wondered if I had come off as a snitch to her and suddenly regretted telling her my thoughts. But then again, sometimes people bond by exchanging stuff like that.
Today, I noticed Alanna was dressed very elegantly. It was a red top which tied around her neck, showing her shoulders and arms. She came around during the day and asked if I had gotten used to working without her, because I really hadn't gone to ask her any questions since she came back. I actually think I did, but I said I knew she was busy catching up on stuff so I would get her at the end of the week. She hung around and talked a bit, and I noticed her stretching her arms while she was standing, before taking a seat. Part of me thinks that she likes my male attention.
She sent an email late in the afternoon and I went to ask her about it. She was like "I knew you'd come!", as if she was glad I needed her again, lol.
When the garbage man came, he and I spoke a bit, and I saw Wendy A walk by, smiling as she passed.
Was that an evil smile? Was it a "I've caught you now, you bludging bastard" smile?
These past few days, I have been thinking about Lily. I reckon that was the goddamn hottest sex I've ever had. On top of that, I felt a connection. Maybe she treated every customer like that, or maybe we really did click. Particularly special in my mind was when she tried to get me to swallow the listerine by holding my nose, and when I said she snored and she playfully hit me and made me promise not to tell anyone with a pinky shake.
I couldn't get her off my mind. As I worked, I was battling myself as to whether I should ever go again. I could afford once every fortnight, but part of me was saying I should go this weekend. Hell, I wanted to go now!
I told myself not to become one of those old geezers who genuinely think the chick is into him. Have I become him?
Although I went to the gym this morning, I didn't go tonight. I was planning to gym and swim tonight, but finished work at 7pm, so thought I'd just gym, but then went home and realised dad had taken the car and it was raining pretty heavily, so I thought I'd treat myself to a break.
My left knee hurt a bit towards the end of yesterday. The tablets must wear off I think.
