Hando Signs On

Jean Sheppard came back from her lunch break to see Hando sitting in her office.

"What are you doing here?" she looked at him warily moving behind her desk.

"Waiting for you." He caught her with a look.

"What do you want?"

He smiled a little.

"Does Mr. Barrett know you’re here?"

"He sent me here." He purred. "He said you had the paperwork."

"Paper…oh about the flat?"

"Yeah…the flat."

Jean found the folder with the rental agreement and pulled it out . "You have to sign where he’s marked…" Hando’s intense stare put her off what she was going to say.

"Just give it to me." He said and took it from her hand. A quick once over and he signed it and handed it back.

"So, you’re moving in." she moistened her lips.

He watched her mouth. "Soon. I can hardly wait."

"Does, um , Boz know?"

"If you talked to him you’d know the answer to that wouldn’t you?"

"I never know when he’s awake…"

"He’s awake now, give him a call like a nice sister would."

"Sure, I will."

Hando stood up and leaned over the desk in her face. "I’ll ask him if you called." He smiled and slowly backed off.

When he left her hands were shaking. He frightened her, intrigued her, excited her making it hard to sit still when he was around. She kept imagining what it would be like and her lips parted.
