Workaholics

Chapter 11: Cheater?

"Pick up already!" I heard Maria's voice from the kitchen.

I slide my finger through the screen and answered the call.

"Heey" I heard Elon's thick voice, which was full of excitement.

"Hey" I said back nervously and laid back on the door.

"I'm sorry I didn't called you today, I had so many things to do" Elon said.

"I had many things to do, too" I said softly while smiling and looking at my feet.

"Now for sure I stand behind my statement" He laughed.

"What statement?" I asked.

"That you remind me of me"

We both laughed for a while. I remembered the night he told me that and I felt goosebumps all over my body. The image of him with that messy hair and perfect smile couldn't leave my head. Elon's voice got me out of my thoughts.

"What are you up to?" He asked.

"About to have dinner with Maria and Giorno, you know, from the party at Dr.Farewell's" I answered and smiled

"Have a great time then!" He said and I felt disappointment in his voice.

"You can come too, if you are not busy?" I asked shyly.

"I would love to, but.." He sighed "I have a few things to get done"

"If you finish early, you are welcome" I said softly and I felt how my face was becoming red.

"Thank you, (Y/N), you are very sweet" He said quietly almost whispering. "Have a good time!" Elon continued.

"Thank you, Elon" I said.

We hung up and I looked and the ceiling.

I bit my lower lip and I was already drowning in thoughts about this morning. I realised that I was still at the door and laughed softly at myself. I haven't felt like this from a while. This warm feeling inside your chest, the excitement to hear the other person's voice and your heart beating like crazy by the thought of them. Elon saved me..from me. I was turning into someone who was only existing and the work was the only thing which was making me feel alive.

A knock on the door distracted me. I turned around and opened it. I saw Giorno.

"Good evening, Dr.(L/N)" He greeted me politely.

As I was about to say something I felt Maria running from the kitchen and pushed me on the side and jumped into his arms. They were like little kids. They kissed for a while murmuring stuff to each other and I just stayed awkwardly at the door.

"Uhm, sorry for interrupting, but can you go inside?" I asked giggling.

For a second they froze and came inside. We prepared dinner and the tension between all of us was melting, and we finally started to talk a lot about personal things. I was still feeling weird from the fact that my boss is in my home, but I was getting over it. We were having dinner and discussing passionately colleagues and patients.

"So, I understood that you and Mr.Musk are a thing" Giorno giggled.

"I, myself, don't know what we are" I said quickly and took a bite of my food.

"He is a brilliant man, you are perfect for each other" He said and looked at Maria "Just like us"

Maria smiled ear to ear and gave him a little kiss. I can't deny that they are very cute.

I wish Elon was here.

"She is just stubborn" Maria looked and me and laughed "She will realise this soon" She looked at Giorno and they both laughed.
