The long-awaited break came, during which we could have lunch and chat in between. Now you were talking with a colleague who was most interested in discussing all sorts of affairs in their agency team. And so, word for word, a typical question came from her... “What kind of guys do you like?”, to which you just shrugged your shoulders and muttered something incomprehensible.

“But I like, you know, kind people, not these ‘alpha males,’” said the colleague. “I like these,” you said when Leon walked past the two of you, and in addition, you also pointed your finger at him, hoping that he wouldn’t notice. “You should at least be ashamed to point your finger at me so openly,” Kennedy turned and grinned, to which you snorted: “You know, it’s not my fault that you’re so attentive,” you answered Leon.

The colleague laughed quietly and casually went about her business, leaving you and Kennedy alone. You and Leon always communicated lightly, joked and teased a lot without going beyond that. In fact, Kennedy was attracted to you, but not in the same way as the other girls in the agency, many saw in him only a pretty picture, but you looked deeper, taking into account what he had experienced. “So what were you talking to her about?” - Leon asked in a tempting tone, looking at you carefully. “We were just talking about...” - you hesitated a little, realizing that now you were giving him another reason to joke. “... about the kind of men we like,” you answered, crossing your arms over your chest. “And that’s why you pointed at me?” - Kennedy teased with a quiet chuckle, and you just clicked your tongue, subduing him with a bored look. “Not if you want...” Leon began, but you interrupted him by pushing him on the shoulder. “Just shut up, Kennedy, I’m begging you,” you grumbled, to which he simply laughed.
