I have been working at TM for six months and since the first day I started working there, I have had the biggest crush on one of the guys. Juice. His soft eyes, beautiful smile and goofy personality makes me melt. No one knows how I feel about him. I make sure that I don't let on that I'm into him. I don't speak to anyone unless I have to. You see, I'm shy and don't really think that highly of myself.
"You have plans for Valentine's Day Sweetheart?" Gemma asks. "Just sitting at home with Netflix and a bottle of Jack." I tell her. "No date?" she asked. "Gemma, you know I don't date." I tell her. "Why not? You're a pretty girl." she tells me. "The guy that I like doesn't date fat girls." I mumble. Gemma just shakes her head and I walk out of the office to head home.
Walking to my car, I hear my name being called. "Sadie!" I hear the voice of the man I dream about every night calling my name. I turn to see him jogging up. "Here's that DVD you asked me about." he tells me. "Oh. Thanks Juice." I say, taking it from him and heading to my car.
Pulling into my driveway, I get out and head inside. Making a salad for dinner, I put in the DVD and watch it so that I can take it back to Juice tomorrow. After watching the movie, I shower and head to bed. This seems to be the story of my life, going to work and coming home.
Walking into work the next morning, Gemma smiles at me and says "Good morning Sadie." I get a cup of coffee and say "Morning Gemma." Sitting down at our desks, she asked "Do you know what today is?" I sigh and say "Valentine's Day." She smiles and says "Come on. You and I are going shopping." she tells me. I look at her confused and she says "You have a date." I look at her shocked and say "No I don't." She smirks and says "I'm setting you up on a blind date. He's picking you up at my house at seven." she tells me and I know not to argue with her.
We go shopping and head back to Gemma's. I shower and get dressed and she does my hair and makeup and when I look in the mirror I tear up. "You look amazing baby." she tells me. I hug her and say "Thank you Gemma." I look down at my hands and she asks "What's wrong?" I look at her and ask "What if he doesn't like me?" She cups my face and says "He's gonna love you. I promise."
Seven on the dot, there's a knock at the door. Gemma answers and turns to me and says "You're date is here." I walk to the door and look at my date shocked and see the same shocked look on his face. "Sadie. You look amazing." Juice tells me. "Thank you. So do you." I look at Gemma and she kisses my cheek and says "Neither of you would make a move so I made it for you. Now, go, have fun." she tells me.
Walking out the door, Juice walks me out to his truck and opens the passenger door for me, helping me in before closing the door. Getting into the driver seat, we pull out of Gemma's driveway. "I'm sorry you got roped into this Juice. I'm sure you had other plans." I say. He smiles softly and says "Actually, I didn't. I've wanted to ask you out for a while but just never thought you'd be interested." he tells me and I look at him shocked. "What?" he asked. I look at my hands in my lap and say "I didn't think you would be interested in me." He takes my hand and asks "Why not?" Shaking my head I say "I see the girls you go for at the clubhouse. I look nothing like them." I tell him. "Maybe that's why I like you." he says and I blush a little.
Pulling up to a restaurant, he opens my door for me and helps me out of the truck. Walking inside, he opens the door and even pulls out my chair. Sitting next to me instead of across from me, we eat and talk and I even find myself laughing. We even order dessert.
Pulling up to my house, Juice opens my door again and helps me out of the truck and walks me to my door. "I had a really nice time, Juice. Thank you." I tell him. "Anytime. You really are a cool chick." he says. "You know this is the first Valentine's Day I didn't spend alone?" I say. "Really? Well, this should be our new tradition." he tells me smiling. I blush. He tilts my head up and asks "Can I take you out again?" Maybe us go for a ride one night?" he asked. I look at him and say "I'd like that." Looking at him, he gets serious for a second before pulling me to him and kissing me softly. I find myself kissing him back and it's better than I could have ever imagined. When we break apart from the kiss, he whispers "You're my girl now, Sadie." I look at him and all I can do is smile as he leans in to kiss me again and all I can think is God Bless Gemma.
