The Plan

Chapter 6
The Plan

You woke up at 1pm, considering the lack of sleep you got over the last 2 days you'd say it was well needed.
You got out of bed, had a shower, made some food, cleaned the kitchen then got into some jeans, a tight top which was low cut and a zip up hoodie. You tied your [H/C] hair into a messy pony tail.
You had your painkillers for your eye, unfortunately it wasn't time to take off the bandages.

You sat down on the couch, checking your phone. You noticed a missed message.

'This is Mark, plans have changed, I'm coming to get you at 5pm instead.'

"2 hours earlier?" You say to yourself. You save his contact as you couldn't do so before and flicked through to notice John did indeed add his own number. You checked the time.
It was 4pm.
Only an hour to wait.

You replied, confirming you saw the message.

For the next hour you cleaned the house down, and packed your little shoulder bag with a drink, note pad and pen, your purse and phone.
By the time you was finished, it was 4:50pm. You grabbed your bag, and your keys, leaving your appartment and locking the door, stuffing your keys in your bag.
As you walked down the hall your phone went off.

'I'm outside.'

You put your phone back in your bag and went into the parking lot, seeing Marks car. You hopped right in. Buckling your seat belt and putting your little bag in your lap. You look up to Mark, confused as to why he wasn't driving, you realising he was staring at you.

"Erm... what..?" He looks you up and down.

"We're going to plan a test, not a date."

"I'm aware...?" He shook his head then started the car and started driving away. "Fuck was that about... think I look nice or something, Detective?"

"Keep dreaming." He kept his eyes on the road.

Normally, you'd know exactly what to say or to do. But this man. This man was doing something different to you. You didn't know what to say to him. You couldn't work your usual charm on him like you could others.

"Soooo. Why did the plans change around?" He looked at you then back to the road.

"I was finished at the office, and John wanted to talk to us about another test he's running soon. Something about a gas house that will test multiple people at once."

"Right..."

"Your different to the rest of us, it took us a while to assist in the bigger tests, but you? Your being thrown into the deep end."

"Thanks? I guess?"

"It was meant to be a compliment." You smiled to yoursslf, this was your chance to try see if your spark is there,

"Aw, sweet."
He turned to look at you, smirking slightly.

"Don't flatter yourself."
Nope. No spark.

What's happening. Its only the second day since I've met this guy and he's just, taken my charm? Not only is this weird but its happened so quickly.
