Chapter 12 – William

I hate this. My heart sinks as I see Serena sitting at her desk in the office, focused on working, trying to be the best employee that she can be. I hate that I can only see her at work now. Ever since she ran out on me the other day, thinks have been strained between us. I don’t ever see her in the apartment block anymore, she is clearly trying her hardest to avoid me, and it sucks. I don’t want us to just be colleagues, I thought I made that perfectly clear, but she doesn’t seem to pursue with our relationship. Unfortunately, Serena can only see what could go wrong with us and not what could go right. This is insane.

“She’s a great worker,” I remind myself quietly. “I should be grateful that she wanted to keep working for me…”

But I can’t only feel that. I’m stuck in a place where I want everything from her. I have never had a connection with anyone like I did with Serena and it’s too hard to let go of. Without her, I feel more acutely lonely than I have ever been before. Even when me and Molly ended and she walked out on me, I didn’t feel this bad which is insane because me and Molly shared many years and I have only known Serena for a few short days. I have lost my mind. It kills me to be this close yet so epically far away from her. It’s painful for me not to be able to hold her any longer.

“Boss, is there anything that I can do to help you?” Alisha asks me through gritted teeth. “Since you have been here in our department so often the past few days, I can’t help but wonder why. If there is something wrong in this department, I would rather have a meeting with you and let me know because some of the staff members are beginning to worry…”

“Oh no, sorry.” I shake my head, trying to rid my brain of the potential love that I lost. “I’m just checking everyone out in general. With all the recent expansion, I just need to keep on top of things. You know how it is.”

Alisha follows my eyeline and she clocks at Serena. Without even meaning to, I have accidently blown out my relationship with her. I avert my eyes rapidly and stare at the floor instead before I start walking rapidly away.

“Nothing to worry about, Alisha,” I call behind me. “Everything looks good here. I won’t trouble you again.”

God, I’m becoming the sort of man that I never thought I would. Practically a stalker. Now, there isn’t even anything between Serena and myself and I have started rumors to begin. If I’m not careful then I will drive Serena out of the office and lose her forever. And, I won’t really be able to withstand that. Even having her from a distance where I can’t even really speak to her is better than nothing.
