My Work Boyfriend

I can't help myself,

I couldn't help myself,

But to fall in love again,

That feeling... that one feeling,

Of not knowing how to be loved,

But still wanting so much to be loved~

~

First Shift:

It's a new job. New start, new beginning to awaken my true abilities. All I'm really looking forward to is the money, that's all I really need at the moment, that's all I'll focus on.

New shift just started. This is my first time working in hospitality, so I don't know what to expect. Everyone seems nice, everyone is hospitable and welcoming to the family they have here.

I like this work environment, it seems peaceful, it seems like I'll be able to fit in.

"Are you the new girl?"- Follows a voice behind me.

"Oh hey! I'm Kodah."- I introudce myself.

"I'm Jason, nice to meet you."

"And yeah, I'm new, haven't been here very long! - I say.

"New to work? Or new to stealing my heart?"

....

No.

Just no.

It's another BOY.

Another one of THEM.

...

"Uhh."- I sutter.

"That's a bit... much"- I add.

I wasn't going to let him keep the flow of the conversation going, I left right away, I walked out the door ignoring his words following the fade behind me.

"What a weirdo."- I thought I said in my head.

"Who!?"- A girl hears.

"Sorry, that was rude haha, I'm Alex!"

"Oh hey, I'm Kodah, I'm new."

"Who were you talking about just then?"- Alex engages herself.

"Oh, no its nothing. Just this really weird guy who wa-"

"Guy? Which one?'- She cuts me off.

"Um, I think it was jason?"

She pauses, glaring at me.

"Jason? What did he say, what did he do, are you okay?"

"Oh what, no I'm fine, we just had a small interaction." - I analyze her emotion.

"Heh, Jason. Don't get to caught up in his world, last place you want to visit."

"I'm not interested. I'm just here to work, and... yeah. Work."- I say.

"I don't know, I said the same thing when I came here, love follows you every, you can't help it or change it when you fall in love with someone."

Second shift:

First shift was fine. Things appeared that I didn't expect and manifest to not come true, but its work, I have to deal with it and push through it.

I hope nothing weird happens again today...

I just need to get through the days at this point.

"Hey Kodah."

No. Not him again...

"How are you?"

"I'm good, you?"- I say being dry.

"I'm not bad, what are you on today?"

"I'm at the backrooms today."

"Same."

"Oh great. Just what I need."- I "jokingly" say.

"Good thing or bad thing?"- He questions.

I walk away...

I don't have time for this.

I have a job to do.

no more falling in love. I promised myself I wouldn't...

I know I'm unable to defend myself to the real world, but I still refuse to fall back in love.

I like being in the back, it seems quiet, it's away from customers and people, music is in my ears and it's just me and my thoughts here. Easiest job, right?

"I'll put those containers away, they are a bit heavy."

Yeaahhh, I don't think anyone is falling for you after that....

"Okay, I'm sorry. I get it I'm new, but you need to back off. I'm not interested, I just got out of a relationship, I don't need any of this now."

He stops to look at me, analyzing every word I said.

"Damn, got an attitude, Kind of like that..."

....

EWWW!

EWW!

Ew!

Ew.

Ew...

I stare at him.

Looking deeply into his eyes...

Did he just say I had a bad attiude?

...

I lean in closer to him,

He starts kissing me softly, I melt into his embrace, forgetting all about work.

It was just the two of us, alone together.

All that mattered was the feel of each other's lips and the quickening of our heartbeats.

I push him away...

Soon again to grab him close and start aggressively making out with him.

Our passion rises, Jason gently pins me against the wall, his body pressing against mine as our kisses grow more urgent.

Lost in the heat of the moment, the two lovers let work fade away, savoring the sweetness of each other's lips and the thrill of their secret tryst.

What is happening to me?

Why do I feel this?

Why do I feel so much love for someone I just met?

I promised myself I wouldn't love anyone else,

Yet here we are again... back in love.

This can't be real.

It can't be.

Nothing can be real...

~

He didn't speak to me ever again after that day.

I don't know why...

I still question myself if I did something.

Maybe I was the problem.

Maybe I'll always be the problem with love...

I'm still thinking about that feeling....

That feeling where our auras intertwine,

That feeling of no one else but him and I,

That feeling of love~
