(C) I couldn't let that effect how I was working so I just had to get on with it. I'm well aware that most people (c) (@IntenseAlpha)

(C) wouldn't be feeling as frustrated as I am, but i've never been the type to get this was over a guy i barely even (c) (@IntenseAlpha)

(C) know, so what is it about @IntenseAlpha then? When it gets to the end of my shift, i find im grabbing my things slower than is (c)

(C) probably necessary and I know its because, regardless of what i've been telling myself all night, i'm trying to find (c) (@IntenseAlpha)

(C) any excuse to go back to @IntenseAlpha's office, the best I can come up with is that it would be rude for me to just rush out of (c)

(C) here without at least letting @IntenseAlpha know, so I walk away from the bar and towards his office. For a second I hover outside, (c)

(C) wondering if this is just me being silly, but then I decide to just 'man up' and I raise my hand, knocking on @IntenseAlpha's door*

*Oh damn, i'm pretty sure that lopsided grin of @IntenseAlpha's has the potential to make me go weak at the knees. I've spent the whole (c)

(C) evening trying to pull myself together, but a few seconds in front of @IntenseAlpha and all that is forgotten. I suddenly realise (c)

(C) lying when you said it gets crazy, I think i may have underestimated that a little bit @IntenseAlpha

*Wait, did @IntenseAlpha say he'll be out at the bar with me tomorrow? I try not to let my expression reflect just how much I'm actually (c)

(C) freaking out about that already. Even just standing a few feet away from @IntenseAlpha now is making my heart race, so being behind (c)

(C) the bar with @IntenseAlpha in such a small space will definitely test my self control around him. I can't deny i'm a little (c)

(C) surprised, first when @IntenseAlpha asks if I want to go to a party at his hotel and second when he says its /his/ hotel. Of course (c)

(C) it is. I nibble gently on my bottom lip, trying to decide at first whether or not saying yes to @IntenseAlpha would be a good idea (c)

(C) but then I decide it can't hurt right? Plus I'm still a student, isn't going to parties part of the whole (c) (@IntenseAlpha)

(C) student lifestyle anyway?* Sure, I'd love to come *I finally tell @IntenseAlpha with a smile, realising I probably sound more eager (c)

(C) than I had actually intended to* Is it far from here @IntenseAlpha?
