Suddenly Yours (a bang chan fanfic)

Chapter 2

"Penelope, could you get some bookmarks from the back, please?"

"Sure."

"Thank you," I reply as I sip on my coffee while looking at the paperwork on my work laptop. Chris had emailed me them for me to sign and send it back. Picking up his card, I stare at his name and then glance at his number beside it. I bite my lip as I take out my phone from my hoodie pocket and open my messaging app. I type out his number and my fingers hover over the keyboard. Do I just say hi? Do I introduce myself to him? What the heck do I type?

Here goes nothing.

A: Hi, this is Aubrey.

I hit send and keep staring at the screen as if I was waiting for his reply. As I go to put my phone down, I feel it vibrate. It makes a jump a little. I look at the screen.

C: was wondering when you would text me. i was looking at my phone all day

I blink at his message. Was he expecting me to message first?

C: but now that you have, i can finally ask

A: ask what?

C: meet me outside

I tilt my head at his message and when it finally registers, I gasp and walk out to see him standing, looking all handsome wearing a black leather jacket and black jeans. "Hi," he smiles as I walk closer.

"What are you doing here?" I ask, a little surprised.

"Do you like coffee?"

"What?" I blink.

"There's this nice little spot that has the best panini sandwiches and very good lattes."

I frown at him. "Chris, you know I'm married."

"Stop assuming I'm asking you out. I just want to have a bite to eat with an old school friend."

I contemplate my options. On one hand, I can refuse and go back inside sipping my lukewarm coffee. On the other hand, I can go with him and actually eat for once. I send a quick text to Penelope letting her know I'm going on lunch break. "Alright, lead the way." His eyes light up and smiles. I'm starting to have a soft spot for dimples.

**************************************

10 minutes later, we're sitting across from each other. He's got a club sanwich with green tea. Apparently, he's not big on coffee. Whereas, I got a chicken sandwich, a bag of chips and a vanilla latte. I take a bite of the sandwich. "Damn, you weren't kidding about these sandwiches."

He gives me a quick smile. "I'm glad you like them. They make fresh bread every day so that makes the sandwich taste more better."

I sip on the latte. "Troy never lets me eat out." I gasp immediately at the realization I said something I shouldn't have.

"And why's that?" He asks as he bites his sandwich.

I swallow. "He says it's all junk food," I lied. But the truth was he always made me cook, rain or shine.

"Seriously?"

I nod as I bite the other half of my sandwich. "Damn, these are like drugs. Why are they so good?"

He chuckles as he sips his tea. "I told you they were good."

"At this rate, I might eat another," I said as I watch him push the last half of his towards me and I look at him, confused.

"You can have the rest of mine."

"Wait, what? No." I push the plate back but he pushes it back.

"It's okay. I had a big breakfast."
