" hey L, I brought you some coffee"

" come on Erick, you don't have to..."

" but I do.."

"but I don't " his face drops

" look, I know we are friends and all, but id appreciate if I could get my own things, that also includes the car door"

just for the record.

"understood L" smiling coolly, I hope it really sticks in his head this time.

as he leaves for his office, I let out the air I didn't know I was holding.

he's a real chore.

"hey girl" the girl next to my cubicle speaks to me.

she never does.

awkwardly greeting me at lunch break.

"hey...uhm.." I don't even know her name

"its Judith"

"hey.."

"so I hear you and Erick are dating, is it true?"

almost choking on my food, I grab a bottle of water quick.

what the hell! who told her that!

"sorry, where did you hear that from?"

smiling awkwardly at me "words travel fast in the office"

"I guess...but hey we are just friends"

"oh, but you can tell he's into you"

is she enjoying this conversation.
