Snippet of a Geeky Workaholic - Talk & Talk
Alex sat on the seat next to Nate laughing her head off, echoes of her laugh being heard throughout the office. “What?!” Nate asked “Nothing” Alex continued laughing. “Okay, random fact. I wanna get a tattoo but I’m deathly afraid of needles.” Now it was Nate’s turn to laugh at Alex. “Laugh all you want but it’s true” Alex said “My bestfriend and I can’t get matching tattoos because of that.” “You won’t do it even for her?” He asked “Well, if there’s anesthesia involved I’ll do it.” She said “There’s no anesthesia for tattoos!” Nate said laughing more “Sucks for me. I can’t get a tattoo” Alex said smiling “I’ve been thinking about getting one but I kinda dropped the idea, because tattoos are forever and I think about what I’ll look like when I’m old.” He said “We’ll be like wrinkly and saggy.” “Do you know Randy Orton?” She asked. Nate nodded. “Imagine, he has sleeve tattoos..” Alex trailed off motioning from her shoulders to her wrists “Can you see him old and wrinkly?” Nate made a face, Alex laughed it off and so did he. They enjoyed each other’s company, she was content with what she has now. “Although, I get henna once in a while.” Nate said. Alex liked hearing his accent, like now when he said the word “henna” “Once I got a henna tattoo in a Star Wars convention.” Alex said “Star Wars convention?” Nate butted in laughing a little “What? I’m a girl and I like Star Wars” She said “I like Star Wars too.” He said “Okay. I had this henna, and my skin got infected so I had a rash as big as the henna!” Alex exclaimed “That happened to my cousin once.” Nate said The two were not exactly close but they do talk when they have time, and their stations are far away from each other so that rarely happens. Nate was about to say something when the phone on his station rang, Alex just nodded and he proceeded to answer the call. She was thankful that he’s giving her the time of day.
