Although the rest of the office was practically empty due to the fact it had just turned 11pm, there was still one female sat alone in her office, filling out the paperwork. She knew her boss would probably shout at her if he found out she was working so late at night, but it was worth it since it was so much more pleasant to work in the peace of the evening then the hustle and bustle of the day.
For this female was what most would call a loner, she didn't care much for being around people, she preferred to be left alone so she could do what ever she wanted without anyone else butting in. People were noisy, clumsy and troublesome, and they were all the things she could do without. Silence is there for a reason, not to be broken by pointless and idle chatter of people, who are so afraid that if the space isn't filled that something bad will happen. Don't get me wrong she didn't hate people, she just didn't have much patience for idiots and their pointless chatter as they try and level the mundanity of their day.
Her bright eyes flicked across the page as she read what she had just written, with a small satisfied smile on her face. This was when she started hear movement just outside the door, but she simply brushed it of as on of the guard or someone leaving, and set about the next sheet to be completed.
That was until she heard some open the door ad step inside the room, she couldn't see who it was since it was dark, but she guessed it was William, her boss coming to have a go at her for working so late, even though he probably was still working himself.
"Look you giant hypocrite, I'll stop working at night when you smile, okay?"
"I think you got the wrong person m'dear~" giggled the figure
"What do you want, who ever you are?"
"My my~ ain't we the unsociable one~?"
"If you want pointless pleasantries you're looking in the wrong office"
"Oh dear~ looks like someone's been spending far too much time with Mr Spears~"
"Why would I ever want to spend time with that hypocritical, stick in the mud? He may be my boss but there is no way in hell I intend to spend more time in a room with him then I need to! And I don't appreciated being compared to him… I'm anti social, his just plain grumpy! I keep telling him to go to the medical wing to see what crawled up his butt and died… for it might need removing before it causes him problems"
The figure burst out laughing at her remarks before disappearing out of sight, but a crazy fit of giggles could still be heard conforming he was still in the room.
'What's with this dude?' She thought as the man continued to giggle on the floor; he sparked her curiosity, something that hasn't been done for a long time.
"Kukuku~ I like you~ I've not laughed that hard for quite a while~" he gasped
"You're an odd one. Everyone else seems to have a heart attack when I say anything like that about William… insufferable suck ups… I mean he's a good leader but his personality is just no existent, I'd much rather talk to a statue then him."
"Hehe~ indeed~ I quite agree~ but he's always been the same~ I do believe that stick up his ass is permanent I'm afraid~" the figure got to his feet, dusted himself off before walking towards her desk "so how come you're here so late m'dear~?"
"I prefer to work at night then during the day, why are you still about?"
"much the same reason~ I saw you're light on and thought I'd ask if you would like some tea as I was just about to get some myself~"
"That's very kind of you… I guess it wouldn't hurt… seeing as you seem to have half a brain unlike most of the people that work here." She shrugged lightly as she put down the pen and stood up
"Why thank you~ another thing we agree on~ there's hardly anyone around here, that you can have a decent conversation with~ and people with a decent sense of humour is far rarer~"
"I'm sorry about earlier… I thought it was either the hypocrite or just another idiot asking for a certain form," she said walking around the desk
"It's quite alright~ I'm Theodore Warren by the way~"
"Oh so you're the manager William works under… interesting… I'm Isabel Winters, the new assistant supervisor"
"Oh so you're Isabel~ nice to meet you finally~"
"You know me?"
"Only by reputation~ I heard you were a real firery one, that's why I put you in this position~ thought it would be fun to see what dear old William would do up against someone like you~"
"So you're responsible for this? Making me work under the most hypocritical man I've ever met, who seems to be having a relationship with the rule book? Having to work with a bunch of idiots… who could quite easily be replaced by monkeys without anyone noticing?" Isabel exclaimed
Theo started laughing again, as he hugged her waist, lifting her up "you're not mad at me, are you~?" he giggled swaying her from side to side.
"Put me down!" she said thanking God that it was so dark in here he couldn't see her blushing lightly as he hugged her
"Not until you say you're not mad with me~"
"Fine I'm not angry, now put me down you weird man!"
"Yay~ shall we get that tea now~?"
"As long as you don't do that again"
"Aww~ party pooper~!"
"Thought you supposed to be a manager? Shouldn't you be a little more mature?"
"Oh were you expecting another William~? I don't see why I shouldn't be able to have a little fun every now and then~ sorry to disappoint you~"
"No of course not, one William is quite enough… if there was more then one I think I would go completely insane. You're just not quite what I was expecting, that's all… I'm sorry if I offended you." Isabel replied feeling a little guilt, for saying what she had, she didn't mean anything by it.
"It's okay~" he said rather shortly
Isabel could tell that it wasn't, she didn't know that came over her but she turned around and hugged him (that definitely wasn't something she would usually do… as she had a strict no touching policy… but she hugged him none the less) "I am sorry."
He of course was playing her like a violin, just to see what she would do, and her reaction intrigued him. Who would have thought under that cold exterior was a sweet and softer side, curious… "Who would have thought under that fire is a soft centre~?" he giggled
"Damn you! You played me!" Isabel exclaimed letting go off him, as a look of annoyance crossed her features, that made him giggle and run out the room. "I don't care if you are a manager; I'm so going to kick your ass for that!"
"You'll have to catch me first~" Theo giggled childishly as he half ran down the corridor, obviously not really trying, since he wanted her to catch up with him, for he was interested in what she would do if she did.
"Damn him…" she sighed running after him, following his giggles that drifted down the corridor, when she slowed down realising if she was to chase him she would be playing into his hands, and she wasn't about to do that. She grinned to herself as she summoned a portal to the café, picked up too tea's before going back to her office and waiting for him to return.
It didn't take long for him to return looking a little disappointed that she hadn't followed him.
By this time she had already tidied her desk and switched on a few lamps so the room was now pretty well lit, and for the first time she could see him properly, he was tall, with a slender frame, that was flattered by a well fitting black suit and trench coat. His hair was a silvery grey, waist length with shorter bits hanging round his shoulders and framing his face. His eyes shone in the light, they were unlike any others, deep and wise, strangely hypnotic and extremely bright. He actually looked quite professional until you see the crazy ass grin he sports, which sends that impression flying out the window.
He grinned widely at how she was looking him up and down "does someone like what they see~" he chucked as he took in her appearance.
Her raven black hair was scraped back in a neat high pony tail, her thin silver framed glasses rested on her head for the time being. She was dressed in a dark green open button shirt, black waistcoat with silver pinstripes, black slacks and boots, with a black high collared long coat, which was hanging on the back of the chair. But the most distinct feature was her eyes, the right one was a vivid lime green and the left was a deep leafy green, and interesting contrast if he did say so himself.
A small smile crossed her lips "what if I do?" she asked curiously deciding it was time to fight fire with fire, "you seem to inspecting me rather closely as well, does that me I'm not the only one?"
"Maybe~ maybe not~" he giggled walking towards her pulling up chair and sitting the other side "so you fetched the tea then~?"
"Well I thought I might as well since you went for a little jog…" she smiled sipping her tea
"Thought you were going to kick my ass~? And you were supposed to follow~" he replied casually as he sorted out his own tea.
"Oh I know I was suppose too, but I've never been one to do what I supposed to be do… I still might, I've not decided yet."
"Oh really~? How interesting~ you do know it's a grave offence to attack a superior officer~?" Theo asked innocently over his tea cup
"Now who sounds like William~" She replied with a grin
Theo smiled slyly as he put down his tea, before walking round and glomping her of her seat, before tickling her "I'll give 'now who sounds like William'~" he giggled as he watched her squirm underneath him.
She caught him of guard and flipped them pinning him to the ground "you were saying?" she laughed as her face hovered just above his, which he played to his advantage, he knocked her elbow causing her to fall against him, locking lips with him. He thought she would pull away the moment the shock had disappeared but she didn't, she just kissed him back.
They broke breathlessly, Isabel rushed to her feet, not quite sure what to do, her mind had just frozen and against her better judgement… damn she had just kissed her manager! She wasn't one for rules but that was taking it too far, even if he was on of the best looking reapers she had seen in this place. But what people didn't know wouldn't hurt them right?
Theo couldn't help but smile at the look on Isabel's face, he got up and dusted himself off, before walking over to her, stroking her face gently and kissing her cheek. "See you tomorrow~ same time~?" he smiled before grabbing his tea and leaving the room.
"Well I guess working here has its upsides…" she said with a smile as she turned back to her work
