Amy and Blake continued to work together in the programming room all by themselves. Amy had to admit seeing Blake work like this was the biggest surprise of her life. She had never in her life, not even for a split second thought that Blake was capable of doing all the monstrous things he was doing at the moment. He was capable in his own way yes, but she didn't think Blake was a 'Wizard'.
She tried putting herself in to the work she was supposed to do, and tried as hard as she could not to look at him, even though every part of her body was telling her to.
This was the first time they were working together, and having such close proximity. She could tell that with the way he was focused right now, he'd probably look handsome and gorgeous.....more like gorgeously handsome. But despite the urge to look and ogle at him she tried to work and keep a straight face, after all he had told he didn't want her and she was yet to get over the hurt she felt when he rejected her.
Amy was too engrossed and lost in her own thoughts that she didn't notice the fact that Blake has stopped typing and was now looking at her.
He didn't even know what he was looking at, but he had observed one thing, she was looking thin. She had lost some weight and for some awkward reason he didn't like it.
She wasn't fat nor chubby, she had the perfect size and shape. As a matter of fact her slim and slender body size was what he'd like if he'd ever consider dating a woman.
After several minutes of being oblivious of Blake's stare, she finally realized the awkward gaze on her. She slowly turned her head to face him, and just as she thought he was indeed staring at her. Amy suddenly became conscious of herself. Having Blake staring at her like that made her heart skid several beats.
"Do I have something on my face?" She asked in a low and anxious tone.
"You look emaciated. I don't like it" Was Blake's blatant reply.
"Huh?" Amy eyes widened in both surprise and confusion. He was looking so intently at her.
"I mean you're looking too lean, and it doesn't suit you" He repeated himself making Amy subconsciously lift up her hand to feel her neck. Has she really emaciated a lot? If she has then she must be out of shape! Her eyes widened as she lowered her eyes down to look at her hips.
She hasn't really noticed she might have lost a few pounds. What was she going to do now?
Blake tried not to chuckle when he noticed all her reactions. She was indeed one incredible person.
"Do I look ugly now?" She panickly asked. She bit her tongue when she realized she wasn't supposed to ask him such a question. "Erm- sorr-" She tried to apologize but Blake cut her off. She has always been one hell of a dramatic person.
"You still just as beautiful" Blake told her with a small smile curving his lips. Amy was slightly stunned when he smiled at her like that, his cute and beautiful dimples were on display. Her heart suddenly changed rhythm as she stared at him. Blake always knows the right words to say to her, his words makes her heart wild and at same time it made her sad.
How could the same man have opposing effects on her? One minute the thought of him makes jelly and the next it makes sad. Sad because she badly likes him, but he doesn't like her in return.
She shook her head and quickly recomposed herself when she realized she was openly staring at him. She cleared her throat and lowered her head in embarrassment.
Blake took a quick look at the monitor and he heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed everything was working just fine, except Acrosoft of course.
He had just isolated the other softwares from Acrosoft so they wouldn't be corrupted by this mysterious malware operator. He looked back at Amy who was now looking at him.
"Can I ask a question?" She carefully inquired.
"Why do I have a feeling I know what you're about to ask me?" Blake asked back, while Amy simply shrugged.
"Maybe it's because you do. So would you let me ask?" Amy was curious and she wanted to feed her curiosity with quite obvious in her eyes.
Blake kept quiet for a while before letting out a soft hiss. "For some awkward and unknown reason I can't bring myself to say no to you, even though I don't want to answer your question"
"Then you shouldn't" She replied him, drawing a soft chuckle from him.
"Then I won't"
"How are you able to do all this? I'm trying to explain some thoughts to myself but I can't even understand myself" She told him.
"I mean I haven't even seen you in any of the programming rooms, nor the testing rooms to test a code, but here you are doing something imaginable which only a god like programmer can do. Blake I don't understand, what are you?" Amy couldn't help herself from asking such. What Blake had done marvelled her.
"Well let's just say I'm a just an ordinary guy with a little bit of skill" He casually replied.
"You call that little skill?" Amy scoffed. "Please don't be so modest, that was more than little. That was awesome"
"I'm not trying to be modest, you should see my brother work, he's awesome."
"You mean Jake?" Amy asked in surprise.
"I don't have another brother do I?" Blake cocked a brow at her.
"Surprisingly I've seen him work a few times during the coding for Acrosoft. But you- you're a whole different level. So tell me how are you able to do stuff like this and why have you been hiding yourself?" She asked, her gaze seriously focused on him.
Blake looked at her without saying anything. He had a stoic look on his face as he stared at her.
"Because it brings the side of me I don't like" He finally replied.
