I wake up. This time sunlight is shining through the blinds.   I'm lay on Chris', very muscular, chest. Crap! It's 9am! And it's hard to get up, but I do. I find my clothes neatly folded on the chair by the desk, how cute, and change into them in the bathroom. I find a piece of paper and a pen and write him a note.

Dear Chris,

I woke up at 9 and left because I have to go to work now. I'll leave my number at the bottom and you can call me tonight. Thank You for last night and everything, it was a lot of fun.

I sign my name followed by a kiss. Oh wait, too soon!? I don't know. I grab my bag and leave. Walking through the cool, London streets surrounded by thousands of commuters barging away anything in their path isn't fun at all. It finally really gives me a chance to think. I know I like Chris, and I think he likes me back but the question is, is he ready for another relationship so soon after his other one ended? And what a way to end. I shake my head and walk on. Fairly soon I arrive at our offices and push on the door, I smile at the receptionist and make my way up to the desk on first floor.

"You're late!" My editor screeches.

"I know, I know. I'm sorry. It won't happen again."

 "It'd better not. How did the interview go?"

"Well. It went. Well." I stutter. I want to scream in her face how amazing it was but I resist the urge.

"Good, now get to work." 

I sit down at my desk and begin to type out the article. It's hard not to go on about how amazing Chris is. Suddenly, I hear my phone ringing in my bag. Crap! I answer.

"Hello?!"

"Hi." Oh My God, it's Chris. I have to stop myself from going bright red, his voice...."I know you're probably at work and all but I really just wanted to....I don't know, hear your voice again." He nervously giggles. I don't know what to say.

"Aw that's so sweet, look I'll call you back on my lunch break okay? I need to start writing up the interview!"

"Cool. Well. Yeah. Have fun!"

"Bye Chris." I say and hang up.

Another hour and a half and it was my lunch break. Usually I bring something to eat but seeing as I'd been staying over at Chris' last night, I didn't. I grabbed my coat and set out for a shop or something where I would be able to buy lunch. Then I remembered, I had to ring Chris. I sat down on a bench and called him. He picked up after the first ring, must have been waiting, bless him.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Chris. It's me. I'm on my lunch break now."

"Great! So anyway I was wondering if you wanted to do something tonight or tomorrow?"

"Well, I'm really busy at the moment with work, and tomorrow night we have the Christmas party so I don't know."

"Oh well, okay then. I'd ask you round at the weekend but I've got to look after the kids and erm, I'm not sure The Zoo is a place for a very romantic date."

"Granted."

"You could still, come, if you, if you'd like...."

"Sounds great."

"Oh well fantastic! I'll pick you up at 12:30 on Sunday. See you then."

"Bye!" 

Not really sure what I've just agreed to but it should be fun. I can't wait to see him again.....
