Chapter 3 - He's Hopeless

Following five hours Lucas managed to complete merely half of his paperwork. Evening had. The majority of individuals had departed. The sole remaining people were Lily Carter, the boss and Lucas himself.

'How am I supposed to explain this to the boss damn it! Am I actually going to lose my job before enjoying any fun? If the boss lets me go I'll give a squeeze and dash for the door.' Lucas was obviously overanalyzing, as usual.

Hold on wouldn't that qualify as assault?

Lily Carter spotted him overwhelmed, in the corner paperwork still stacked up. Initially her expression revealed sympathy. Moments later she twisted her face into a wild scowl. What was she scheming?

"Bad luck for you. Would you like a hand, with that?" Lily inquired, feigning concern. At the time Lucas felt fortunate. What he required, a savior to rescue him from the depths of despair.

'Lily is definitely beautiful. Hold on what if she's a succubus? Honestly I wouldn't be bothered all. Oh yes that would be a view to witness.' Lucas sank further into his lecherous musings.

However alongside that idea something different was occurring this time as well.

Although Lily had intended this from the beginning she had not anticipated it would emerge soon. Her cheeks flushed abruptly as she hid her parted lips.

"I can... I can assist you with that well..." she murmured, gesturing toward Lucass trousers with a trembling finger. 'Ahhhh I said it. There's no chance he'll turn me down right? I'm definitely a stunner. Actually the most attractive person, in town. Wait, no. Its drifting off again. Stop, stop, stop!' Sadly or luckily young Lucas failed to recognize the promise of this evening.

"Yeah there's no chance that idiot is going near those buns tonight. He might well just go to bed " little Lucas figured.

Big Lucas clearly misinterpreted Lilys behavior as the stick could only be pointing upwards if he did. Honestly considering he is a virgin it makes sense.

"Oh yeah, thanks. I can't believe I overlooked buttoning this section. I'm capable of doing it on my own. No need to spoil your day for someone " Lucas truly was a fool. To begin with he literally hadn't fastened his shirt. Moreover he didn't grasp what Lily was hinting at.

It is said that you have one shot, in life to achieve your dreams. Lucas had just let that moment slip away. Lilys expression became muted though a hint of blush remained on her cheeks. "W-shall we begin work?" she said at last after coming to terms with the event that had unfolded.

I'm such a fool. I feel awful for making him uneasy, on his first day. I suppose he might have a girlfriend or something similar. I hope he's not homosexual. If he does have a girlfriend then maybe I still have a shot.

No, dear. Neither of those suppositions are correct. However your decision was the one. Than forcing the issue it's best to allow this boy to remain in his illusions. Who can say what he might do when he encounters intimacy?

Sure. I won't offer you a lot. That's only fair. Lucas hoped for this instant.

He gave her a stack of papers and tapped the nearby box seat. Author I notice a plot inconsistency here. I believed he was scared of girls? So why is he behaving so self-assured at this moment?

Author: "He is afraid of paper with words on it more."

Years, during Lucas's peak he was quite foolish (and still is). He just scraped through his classes yet somehow graduated college with marks. I suspect his parents influenced the college board though he disagrees. Seriously why am I tasked with telling the story of this loser?

For the following ten minutes the space remained quiet apart, from the creaking of chairs. The subtle sounds coming from the bosss office. 'Wow I must shatter this quiet.. How can I achieve that?'

"Thanks by the way " Lucas murmured, a faint flush coloring his cheeks. Well I suppose it's never too late to express gratitude. I'm glad he recalled.

"Aww you're adorable. It's absolutely fine. As their supervisor I need to assist the employees right?" Lily remarked with a grin. She drank from her water bottle. I'm not going to explain its appearance.

The only thing I noticed was Lucas fixated intently on her lips. 'Amazing how her lips gently touch the bottle and the way she smooths her hair back, with her finger... Oh. A tiny drop of water just fell onto her chest. I wish I could be that drop of water.'

Lily caught his gaze. "Do you like my lipstick? I got it a few days ago." She murmured it close, to his ear then softly chuckled.

'So sexy.'

Lucas sprang to his feet. Gave a sharp salute. "Yes maam!"

If I don't come back presume I perished from embarrassment. Soon as he completed that humiliating deed Lucas understood the mistake he had made. "Uh I apologize. Honestly I'm a virg-"

"Don't worry."

I adore awkward guys. By the way where did you find that bowtie? Perhaps we could coordinate...

Lucas was amazed. 'Mom I did it. I believe we are perfect, for each other.'

"Uh this came from my mom. If you'd like I can see if she'll make one for you?" Lucas blushed deeply completely unaware of the mocking.

"It's fine your mom doesn't have to put in all that effort." She grinned, giving a wink that made his heart skip a beat. 'I genuinely adore a mommas boy. My ex occasionally slept beside his mother. Behaved like a child. Wonderful another kink uncovered.' (Please don't misinterpret my words, readers. Sleeping next, to means sharing a bed nothing )

"Uh, Miss Carter? I'm going to use the restroom if you don't mind. Feel free to resume the work while I'm gone." Lucas rushed off to the bathroom.
