Their Hidden Gem

Chapter 6

After getting a nudge from Christian and Julie, Emma walks over to Dick, as he grins excitedly. He looks her from head to foot, smiling at her with intent.

"It's good to see you again, beautiful," said Dick, walking closer to her.

"I'm Emma, Emma Donoghue," she replied, smiling at him. 

"I'm Dick, Dick Greyson," the handsome guy introduced himself.

Emma was flabbergasted. There was no way... he was... he was Robin. Batman's sidekick. She heard his name before in the news.

'You know, it's rude, to have your mouth open like a codfish," Dick commented, chuckling at Emma, who turns a shade of pink, embarrassed.

"Or if you like, I can call you cod for short," he added, smirking at her, to see her reaction.

Emma, at this time, did not know what to say, except to respond back to him. Then gathering her courage, her eyes showed determination.

"I don't like that nickname, so why don't you just stuff it," she retorted, and Dick shakes his head.

"Oh, I like this fiery side of you, cod, so I am just going to continue calling you that. Just look at how you react," he chuckles, looking down at Emma, who was a head shorter than him. Then he ruffles her head, smirking at her. 

 "Did you have to do that," she whispered, looking up at him with her blue eyes.

"How about I come pick you up on Saturday morning or you can meet me," Dick asked Emma, confident that she would say yes to going out with him.

"Why would I do that," she teased him, finding it fun.

"Well, because I like you and I would like to get to know you," Dick smirked, putting on the charm.

"How about I think about it and let you know," Emma grinned, walking away rather quickly. 

After catching up with her roommate and the intern, they grinned at her.

"I can't believe you did that," stated Julie, grinning at her.

"I can. You need to tease men, reel them in, then do it again. It keeps them on their toes," Christian remarked, as they walked to their destination.

Once at the destination, in the back room, where the computers were located, the women show Christian what he would do with them, as per his job. They could see his excitement, at updating the system on the computers.

"Any questions," asked Julie, looking at him.

"Not at the moment, but I definitely will ask," Christian replied, as they continued walking, giving him a tour of the library.

When they were done with the tour, they took Christian out for lunch at their favorite pizza place, Rudy's Pizzeria.
