SOREN

That morning, my head was hurting worse than usual. Liam was driving while I sat next to him, massaging my temples, feeling a sharp, throbbing pain.

"Director Nolan wants to talk to me," I muttered, without much enthusiasm, avoiding looking at Liam.

"I wonder why. There’s a rumor going around that they’re forming an additional team. Maybe they want you to join it?" Liam worked in a different department, handling database management, while I was in the mobile projects division directly under Manager Durden, with Director Nolan as head of the department. Still, Liam was always up to date on all the gossip.

Director Nolan oversaw a few different teams, including the graphics department and several specialized programming teams, each with its own manager. I’d also heard from a colleague that they were planning to form a new team by splitting off part of the one managed by my current supervisor, Durden, a perpetually dissatisfied, prickly omega. His team had gotten quite large after hiring additional people for the ByteBites project.

"Maybe, but what difference does it make? We're already embedded in the ByteBites project. I don’t think they’d reassign us to anything else. Everyone already has their roles; we're all in too deep," I replied, with more irritation than I intended, staring out the car window at the streets passing by. Suddenly, I felt Liam’s hand on my knee and flinched slightly.

"Hey, I was thinking about this weekend. What would you say to a trip to the beach? It’s September, but the weather’s still warm, and the water’s nice. We could swim and relax a bit."

I frowned, not really into the idea. I was black-haired but with very pale skin, so I hated intense sun. What was I supposed to say? I shrugged slightly. "If you want."

"But do you want to? Do you feel like going?" Liam asked cautiously.

"I don’t care. We can go or not," I grumbled, annoyed. For the past two weeks since Liam and I had officially started seeing each other, I’d been an unrepentant bitch. Liam had the patience of a saint to put up with me because I couldn’t stand my own behavior. I was constantly on edge or just checked out, avoiding eye contact and, as much as possible, refraining from touching him.

Liam pulled the car into the parking lot, and I jumped out with relief, glad to finally be in a more open space where his energy wasn’t suffocating me so much.

But I was wrong if I thought I could escape him. Liam quickly got out of the car and walked over to me, taking my hands in his, which made me clench my jaw tighter.

"Maybe the trip would help us relax for a bit. I know how you love swimming. We’ve had so much work these two months; it’d be nice to just chill."

"Fine, fine, we can go," I muttered, just to get him to let go. I didn’t want to yank my hands away. For the last few weeks, I’d made a real effort not to show how much I hated his touch and his closeness.
