《Chasing the nerd ✓》Chapter 29| Noah
Advertisement
It's a slow day in the office.
Just checking numbers, monitoring transactions, tracking shipments and boring stuff like that. Physically I'm here but my mind is stuck on yesterday's events. I mean how can i not after what happened. I shake my head and try to concentrate on my work. I'm currently checking some money transactions and back up everything in my own record in case Dan needs anything so my focus should be 100% percent undivided.
"Ah, together?" She said when I mentioned to take a shower.
I groan out loud and drop my pen. Focus, my ass!
And just like that I'm reliving it…
"Like what you see?" I smirk watching her gawk at me.
"So, very much!" She says out of breath, licking her lips seductively. I do everything in my power to not grab her and continue what we left off. I clear my throat loudly and hold my bathrobe in front of me.
“Come on, out of the pool. let’s gets you changed.” I force myself to say and change the subject.
I watch her get out and I swear it’s like I’m watching a movie in a slow motion. She gets out with steady steps, water dripping from all over her soaking wet clothes that are now clingling in her body making every curve in her stand out even more.
This is torture! Like seriously!
I feel my heart stop when I notice that she has no bra on. I turn my gaze to the roof slowly cursing my damn luck. Why God? I feel her close and i wrap the bathrobe around her quickly. I can’t have her walk around me looking like that or I’m go lose it and will have her right here right now, not giving a shit about where we are.
I take her hand in mine, intertwining our fingers and guide her to the showers.
“You go ahead, I’m going to my locker to see if I can find something for you to wear.”
she nods lightly and I leave the room before she starts undressing.
After a rough search of my locker the only thing i could give to her would be another one of my checkered shirts. I approach the female’s showers slowly and I hear the water running so i leave my shirt on the bench next to her wet clothes and walk over to the men’s changing room to take a freezing ass shower to calm myself. Probably I could use a tab filled with ice to calm down now but life is a bitch so I’ll have to make do.
After my cold shower that left me almost shivering, still not being able to put out the fire I’m feeling inside, I open the door to the female’s showers peeking through it.
“Kettle?”
“Got a belt?” i hear her say and I get a glimpse of her in front of the a mirror with her back at me.
I reach for my pants’ belt and take it out looking confused but I get in and hand it to her.

She ties the belt tight around her waist making my shirt look more a dress on her. She turns around slowly extending her arms and smiles at me.
“What do you think?” she asks playfully. Why do I get a kick out of her wearing my clothes? What’s up with that? She looks so good in that.
“I’m gonna say, from the way you look at me, I look hot.” she says smirking and I smile with mischief.
“You always look hot.” I hear myself speaking my thoughts out loud and my voice is hoarse again. Have some mercy! I can’t have another cold shower like that again!
She smiles seductively and her eyes have darkened again but there is something more hidden in the way she looks at me. She reaches for her wet clothes that are now a dripping ball on her hand and comes closer to me making my heartbeats rise in seconds.
“Well, guess what? Today I’m going totally ‘commando’,” she whispers smiling and i feel like the air is knocked out of my chest.
I take out my glasses and drop them on my desk as I shuffle my hair with force. I can't get her out of my head. She is really gotten under my skin and every day is harder than the day before to not think about her. I’m always thinking small bits like that, replaying every moment I had with her over and over again. Finding myself to want more. More of her. All of her.
Shit!
Am I falling for her? Like seriously falling? No, I can’t be.
Yeah, keep telling yourself that…
Fuck!
I need a break. I can’t obsess over her right now. You are at work asshole! Act like it! I rummage through my computer files and try to set my mind straight.
Ok, payments. let’s deal with that. First come the salaries. After a thorough check I make sure every salary is paid off, I double check just to be sure and save the record to my own file. Next on my list are the expenses. I can see some business expenses authorized by Dan, and then some personal purchases of his, along with paying off his credit cards. Checked, copied and saved. Next up is Rachel’s. Ah, my girl.
Whoa!
Where did that come from? The hell is wrong with you? You see her name on a screen and just like that you smile like a lunatic, thinking she is your girl?
I’m losing my mind!
I'm working faster and more mechanically with her transactions as I’m not trusting myself that i wouldn’t slip out of track if I think about her a minute longer, and continue my usual routine. Check, copy, save. Same with mr. weird and creepy Jeffry Novac.
Last on my list for today is mr. Bossman himself, Brian Brody. Same things over here again. Credit cards, purchases from all kind of stores, lunches here and there. Man! the man has no limit! Must be nice to not think about the money. You see something, you buy it no questions asked. I envy him!

As i’m about to save the record the last transaction on my screen gets my attention. It’s an very large amount of money, like holy crap large, from Mr. Brody’s personal account to an unknown receiver. It’s not my business to judge where he spends his money but the caption on there write “business deal” so I’m wondering if i should include this particular thing on the company’s records, even though it comes from his personal account. I check my paperwork to see if I missed any new deals, or if I have that unknown receiver marked somewhere but I find nothing. Maybe he got confused and instead of using the company’s account used his. Yeah, I should ask Dan just to be sure. Maybe it has nothing to do with company. Maybe it’s another business deal I don’t know about. I mark the account along with the details to a piece of paper in front of me. Just to be safe though I get up to see Dan, papers in hand.
Deep in thought still looking the papers in my hand I walk over to Dan's office and knock the door. I get in right after without waiting for him to answer.
"Hey Dan?" I say and when I raise my sight my eyes almost fell out of the their sockets. Here he is, passionately making out with Tina. When they heard my voice they stepped away from each other like they were stuck by lighting. Dumbfounded I look at them for a second and then turn around embarrassed.
"My god. I'm sorry. I can come back." I say and I'm heading for the door.
"No,no. It's ok. Come in." Dan says trying his best to hide the fact that he is out of breath.
I slowly turn around and look at them above my glasses.
Tina is now seated in a chair with her legs crossed and Dan is next to her his back leaned on his desk.
"Hi nerd." She says smiling playfully to me and I wanna roll my eyes at her.
"Tina!" Dan says scolding her but she just winks looking at him with adoration sparkling in her caramel eyes. Look at that. Minios's in love.
Same goes for mr. Rich-boy here. The moment she smiled, he forgot about the scolding looking happy and mellow like he was high. Technically he was, pheromones can be a bitch.
"Yeah,hey. Know what? It's nothing important really, I'll come back later when you're not busy." I say and I wanna slap myself in the face. "Not that kind of busy, not that I think you are getting busy or something. I mean…" I'm at a loss, I'm rambling unstoppable and I don't think I'm making any sense. I'm feeling so awkward and the whole thing is cringy. Tina crooks her head to the side looking at me like I'm crazy and Dan can barely contain his laughter, with gray eyes sparkling with humour. I sigh out loud.
"When you're not occupied, I mean." I say eventually and clear my throat.
"Is he broken?" Tina says motioning to me looking at Dan with a huge grin.
"Babe. Let it go." He says smiling looking at her. She sighs and gets up from her chair.
"I'm leaving anyway. Have at it." She says to me and spreads her hands around Dan's neck giving him a quick peck on the lips.
I lower my sight giving them a little privacy.
When they are done she comes toward me with a smirk on her face.
"I have a way that can get you fixed." She says and I looked at her with questioning eyes. "It's called sex. You should try it." She continues and I'm looking at with shock all over my face.
"Tina!" Dan says dropping his hands with frustration but she doesn't pay him any attention. She justs laughs out loud throwing her head back with my shocked face and walks out of the office closing the door behind her.
I pick my jaw off the floor and look at Dan. I bet he is thrilled knowing that his girlfriend suggested I should have sex with his sister. Fucked up situation, I'll tell you that much.
"Well, it's safe to say that was awkward." He says and sits behind his desk. I nod at his statement.
"So, what did you need?
"Honestly? I don't really remember after that." I say pushing my glasses up. He laughs and looks at me.
"Don't worry. I'm here any time. Just wait for me to answer next time." He says playfully and I feel my blood rising to my face.
"Sorry about that. I'll throw in some extra knocks next time just in case." I almost mutter dropping my eyes to the floor once again but he is still laughing.
"I'm saying that for your own good. You seemed on the verge of dying from embarrassment."
True that. I've never felt more awkward and embarrassed my whole life. I nod ok and I'm getting ready to leave.
"So I guess Rachel introduced you to Tina at last?" He says casually without even looking at me. I try my best to look like I have no idea what he is talking about but I know I lost some of the color of my face when I heard him.
"Ah, so much for honor amongst thieves!"
I exhale loudly and straighten my face, nodding. He nods back and locks eyes with me, looking dead serious.
"So, you and my sister then?"
I swallow hard and look at him.
"Yeah. Kind of."
I'm expecting him to lash out at me, maybe warn me to watch it or something like that. What I didn't expect is for him to laugh wholehearted throwing his head back enjoying this to the fullest.
"Well, buckle up buddy," he says between his laughs. "You're in for a rough ride."

The Shadow Paradigm - Book 1: Project Orb Weaver
Gardening, cooking, innovation, preservation, charity events... Madzistrale, Tom and Gabzryel does it all. But when they encounter the mysterious Shiakar Paradigm Society, a clash of paradigms ensues. Although both groups are aiming to make humanity stand stronger, their ideals and methods could not be further apart. Between the trio's optimistic yet naive ideals, and the SPS's tried-and-true surgical methods, determining the answer which methods can better humanity is a struggle that both parties must resolve in their own ways... Welcome to the 7th revision of my 10+ years ongoing novel trilogy. This revision took out some flawed plot concepts to re-introduce a more down-to-earth, film noir-like ambience, where a battle of wits is what will determine the outcome. It also added instead more in-depth expansion into the lives and mindsets of the characters, especially the heroes (a missing factor in older versions). Third-view limited storytelling was also introduced more prominently over my favoured third-view omnipotent, with each chapters concentrating as much as possible on a single character's point of view instead of head-hopping. So I shall begin uploading the chapters as I finish them; they're edited as much as I can, but there'll most likely be some typos and mistakes. As always, I welcome your comments and critiques, and I hope you enjoy reading that story as much as I did creating it! A parting poem to introduce the story (translated from its original French version): Credit: Les Mots, Mylene Farmer & Seal Firmly, the sky writhes When a mouth begets a death There, I will give my life to hear you To tell you the most tender words When all becomes all alone I'll break my life for a song And to lives that stoop to notice mine I know I will say goodbye But a fraction of this life I would give anything, anytime The universe has its mysteries Words are our lives You could kill a life with words Soul, how would it feel? If our lives are so fragile Words are mysteries Words of feelings Words of love, a temple If one swept the world away One could touch the universe I will tell you how the sun rose high We could with a word become one And for all those words that hurts us There are those that touches us Which illuminates, touches the infinity Even if nothingness exists For a fraction on this life We will give anything, anytime The universe has its mysteries Words are our lives We could kill a life with words Soul, how would it feel? If our lives are so fragile Words are mysteries Words of feelings Words of love, a temple
