Chapter Four

Bleep Bleep.

Ben smacked his hand in random places towards the direction of his nightstand.

Bleep Bleep Bleep Bleep.

Ben hit the nightstand several more times until the shrill discordant blare of the clock ceased.

His head, his body, ugh, everything hurt. Going into the office wasn't going to happen. He wanted to see Calvin, but it was too painful to move.

Ben got up slowly, careful not to move his head. He needed to get to his computer and let his coworkers know he wouldn't be in the office that day. It took twenty minutes, but he was finally able to send the email. He'd do his work at home, in the dark silence of his apartment.

By noon he felt almost human again. He set his work Communicator status to "Away" and went off in search of food. He found himself at the kitchen table with a cutting board, some cheese, and vegetables. It reminded him of Calvin, Calvin who hadn't tried to contact him all morning. But Ben hadn't tried either. What would he say, anyway? "Hi, you made me come harder than I have in years"? Not really something he wanted preserved for eternity in the company's big log of employee communication.

When Ben went to work on Tuesday he didn't see Calvin in the morning. This wasn't exactly unusual. They worked in different groups and their cubicles were on opposite sides of the floor. Typically, Ben would only see Calvin on Fridays when Calvin asked him out. However, Ben wanted to see Calvin now, so after lunch he walked to Calvin's department with the excuse of talking to Zach, another coworker of theirs. Which he needed to do anyway, but normally he would just IM.

On his way back to his desk, Ben passed the entrance of Calvin's cube. Calvin was there leaning toward his monitor and fingers pounding the keyboard. Clearly from the folds of fabric surrounding his body, he was wearing his too-baggy business casual clothes again. Ben frowned; they were so unflattering.

Ben leaned against the entrance to Calvin's cube. He must have made a noise or jostled the walls because Calvin spun around, wide-eyed and startled.

"Geez, Ben, you scared the crap out of me."

Ben gave Calvin a slight smile and shrugged. "Sorry."

Calvin relaxed and leaned back in his chair. He gave Ben a quick up and down causing Ben to shift his weight self-consciously. "So …" Calvin drawled, "what's up?"

Ben shrugged. He had just wanted to see Calvin, he hadn't thought beyond that. "Just, you know, came to see Zach."

Calvin raised an eyebrow. "Mmhmm. Well … welcome to our area. It’s such a rare honor."

Ben grinned at the sarcasm in Calvin’s voice. "Yeah well …"

"You weren't here yesterday."

Ben was pleasantly surprised that Calvin noticed. He shrugged. "I was rather hung over."

Calvin just smiled that serene, cool-as-a-cucumber smile of his. Ben didn’t really know what to say, and it looked like Calvin wasn't going to carry the conversation. "Uh, I should probably get back to my desk."

"Okay Ben." Calvin nodded, his serene smile turned into a smirk.
