Closer - Call Of Duty Fan Fiction

Part 8 - Graves POV

I listened to her music and it was calming, it relaxed me somehow. "Relaxing" is all I said as I drove us to a diner. "where are you taking me, Graves?" she asked annoyed, "A diner" I smiled at her and she looked at me disappointed, "A diner?" she asked disappointed and I nodded, "yea, its all American and has great food" and she sighed, "Okay"

I watched her get out of the SUV and before she could even open the diner door, I locked my car and jogged up to her and opened the door for her. She just smirked and shook her head. We got a private booth away from everyone and we were handed our menus, she looked at the menu for the longest time till she finally placed it down. "Are you ready to order?" I asked her and she nodded, so I waved the waitress over.

A bubbly blond waitress came over and said, "What will you two be having?" she smiled at me and I winked at her, "well, darling mine will be a burger, medium well, a side of fries, onion rings and a soda" I looked at Anna then asked, "chicken tenders and fries with a cola" she said, "coming right up" said the waitress and she left us.

"You don't like eating much do you?" I asked her and she shook her head. She sighed then said, "food is fuel to me so I keep it as that" and I replied, "I respect that"

I watched her sit back and cross her arms then ask, "So where to after this?" she asked and I replied I'd take her for a walk in a park, which made her smile. "Always the outdoorsy man, aren't you" she replied and I nodded with a smirk.

Pretty soon our food arrived and we started eating it but as we did, we spoke about our families and what they were like. I like that I was getting to know her personally away from work as at work during lunch we would just talk about work or catch up on work.

She was fascinating, I never knew Anna outside of work but today I was and I knew I was falling hard for her but I know she liked to keep things professional with me. I tried to be careful eating my burger but failed miserably as I had mustard and ketchup all over my mouth which made her giggle, "you got something on your..." she said and pointed at my mouth as I tried to wipe my mouth and she grabbed a tissue then said, "here let me" and she wiped my mouth gently as I stared into her big brown eyes with my baby blues.

She began to blush after that and I took the tissue off her hands, "thanks darling" I said to her and she put her head down and blushed more as she ate a fry.

I wanted to grab her and kiss her then and there but I refrained myself from doing so and I asked her more about her spare time as a way to distract her from what happened before between us.
