Try and blend in

You all went back to work. There wasn’t really any other choice - you couldn’t stay in the men’s washroom after all.

You left first, waiting to signal it was safe for the girls to come out as well as a couple of Associates were chatting down the hallway. Gemma went and picked up the files she had stashed on top of a filing cabinet when she saw your face, while you and Sabrina headed back to the elevator to go back to the basement.

Your face had soothed and cleared up, and Sabrina had only needed to do minimal wiping under her eyes to clear up the small amount of makeup smudging from her mini breakdown. You’d all agreed on one major rule of thumb at this point - you couldn’t be left alone where Joy could get at you. It was going to be the buddy system all the way, and if that ended up causing problems then the three of you would be honest about it - Joy had made inappropriate physical advances, but since it was he said-she said you hadn’t come forward.

Unfortunately, that meant that one of the girls was always going to be flying solo, and while you could try and make sure Eric and Andy were around there were no guarantees. Especially if Eric was maintaining his horny stance of wanting to try and hook up with Joy.

So you and Sabrina made it to the basement, and you were just left worrying about Gemma being left alone upstairs.

“It’s going to be fine,” Sabrina said, taking your arm and slipping her around it. It was a bit too familiar for walking around the basement of an office building to look entirely natural, but it wasn’t crossing any lines either.

“I hope so,” you said.

Thankfully the door to the storage room still had its lock projecting out and was propped open. You and Sabrina went back to work, all thoughts of fooling around well and truly out of your minds. Sure, you’d been more than a little wary of Joy going into things, but you hadn’t expected her to follow you all the way down here.

It took another twenty minutes to sort the files and gather up the garbage bags. You and Sabrina couldn’t find a garbage drop-off in the basement, so you decided to head up to the main floor which would give you a chance to check in with Becks.

Unfortunately, when you stepped out of the elevator, you realized you weren’t going to be getting any advice from your ‘inside woman’ any time soon - Joy was leaning against the welcome desk, laughing and chatting with Becks as if there was nothing wrong with the world.

It was awkward, you and Sabrina approaching and pretending to be less familiar than you were with your slightly older friend. You purposed not to look at Joy, and just walked up and asked for directions to where there was a trash area on the main floor. Becks had to have noticed your odd behaviour and gave you a look with just a slightly raised eyebrow, but didn’t say anything other than to direct you to leave them just inside the custodial closet around the corner. You thanked her, and you and Sabrina went together.

The rest of the day went about the same - you and Sabrina returned upstairs and reported to Garrison that you’d finished the job, and then went back to your regular work. You were able to relax a bit and fall into your regular patterns until about a half hour before the end of the day, when Joy returned to the intern office and made a show of looking over all of your work for the day. It was mostly grumbles and growls about needing to do more or staying focused. You had to wonder if Joy’s career path goals were to become the most frustrating middle management she could be. She was particularly harsh on - well, actually she seemed to be just less harsh on you. You thought she was singling out Sabrina at first, then Gemma, but when she went on to bitch at Andy and Eric as well you realized she was playing up an example for you of how things could be.

Ugh.

She disappeared five minutes before the end of the day, and you all started to breathe easier again as you heard Joy and her mother talking loudly at the elevators, and then silence.

Eric was the first one to sigh heavily. “Don’t get me wrong, she’s hot as hell,” he said. “But if you’re looking at the Crazy-Hot scale, I think she might actually be too crazy.”

“You don’t say,” you deadpanned.

Eric and Andy left right on the dot, leaving you, Gemma, and Sabrina alone in the conference room.

“I don’t want to be here anymore,” Gemma said. “Not today.”

“Do you want him tonight, or me? Or together?” Sabrina asked.

Gemma hesitated and looked over at me. “We, um, haven’t picked our next date,” she said.

“Um,” you said, blinking. “I think it’s your turn to plan a date if I’m remembering correctly.”

“Right, right. Wednesday? I’ll come up with something,” Gemma said.

“Sure,” you smiled. “Looking forward to it.”

“What about tonight then?” Sabrina asked.

“Actually,” Gemma said, and looked guiltily over at me. “John, would you mind if Sabrina and I had some girl time tonight? Not to exclude you, but I think we need to figure some things out and it’ll be easier to do without you.”

“Yeah, no problem,” you said, though you couldn’t help feeling a little defeated at losing out on another threesome with them. You stood up and glanced around outside the conference room doors, then quickly went and kissed both Gemma and Sabrina. “I’ll see you both tomorrow. Love you.”

“Love you too,” they both said in unison, then chuckled and smirked at each other. It was weird, but it was sweet.

You went home. Alone. When was the last time you’d done that right after work without plans to meet one or both of them?

One thing was for sure, your penis wasn’t happy with you.
