Fill: Not What I Ordered J2 (1/9)jdl71February 2 2020, 01:26:02 UTC
AO3Jensen knew it was stupid to give in to office gossip, but he had had enough. He had heard the theories as to why he was single, and there had been several. He had no sense of humor. Not true, there were many things he found funny, but he had a dry sense of humor. So he didn’t laugh at stupid Memes, not everyone enjoyed seeing some woman fighting with a cat. He was heartless. So untrue; if he didn’t have a heart, it would be physically impossible for him to be a living, breathing human being. He did have a heart, he just didn’t wear it on his sleeve. He was a workaholic - true, to an extent. He enjoyed his job at Morgan Publishing Unlimited. He had developed a love for the written word at a young age. He had the ability to lose himself in a good book and preferred spending his time reading to going out. Words; he understood those. People; not so much

He just didn’t see why it was important to share details of his life. As far as he was concerned, work and one’s personal life should be kept at an arm’s length apart. No one needed to know that he lived alone, that he didn’t have pets and couldn’t keep a houseplant alive, even if his own life survived on the survival of said houseplant. Who was interested in the fact that he loved fish, but hated Sushi? If anyone asked him his opinion, Sushi was only good for one thing; bait. He certainly didn’t understand everyone’s interest in his love life or lack of one. He wasn’t opposed dating, he just had yet to meet Mr. Right

He sat back in his chair, closed his eyes and rubbed his fingers over his forehead. He heard a soft ping coming from his laptop indicating he had received an email. Opening his eyes and sitting forward, he placed a hand on his keyboard, maneuvering the arrow with his fingers to his emails. He clicked on the inbox to see an email containing a confirmation for his order. Reading that, he felt his breathing began to quicken. What had he just done? If anyone figured out he was behind his own delivery of roses, he would never live it down. He opened the email, hoping to cancel the order, only to find, to his dismay, that this option wasn’t available to him. Quickly, he grabbed his phone, punched in the number to the florist and waited, listening to the ringing as his call went through. Maybe he could cancel the order over the phone, he hoped. He listened as the call was picked up, only have his hopes dashed as his call went to voicemail

After he pulled into his parking space, he sat in his car, listening to it idle before he cut the engine and forced himself to get out and walk across the parking lot, into the building and to his office. He made sure to say hello to his coworkers as he weaved through them on the way to his office before he crossed the threshold and closed his door. He only ventured out of his office once to refill his coffee before lunch

Jensen watched as she placed the vase down on the table and he heard his coworkers gushing over her roses. Maybe this extravagant delivery would overshadow his, he silently hoped

Jensen stood up and went to open his door, wondering who Jared was and why he was here looking for him. He poked himself out of his office to see a tall, muscular man walking toward him carrying a smaller bouquet of roses in a red plastic vase. They resembled the bouquet he thought he had actually ordered last night. His lie was about to be discovered. How was he going to explain this? He could feel himself beginning to panic when he heard someone ask if the man walking toward him was J

Jared took the vase from Jensen only to place it back down on his desk. “What I meant was, why would a guy as good-looking as you need to send himself roses

Jensen’s shoulders shook as he laughed. “Okay,” he finally said as his laughter subsided. “I guess I could help you out.” The corners of his lips twitched up as he fought and lost at trying to appear serious

“Thank you for letting me keep the roses, they’re beautiful. Your mom won’t disown you if you don’t bring her those will she?” he asked as he eyed the long-stemmed roses, not wanting to give them up now
