In the end

Chapter 7 - Choke

I was in mid chew and nearly choked when she spoke. "What are you talking about?" I tried to keep my face calm and emotionless but I immediately started to blush furiously. "Please bitch. You should have seen your face when you walked in. I haven't seen you look like that since Andy Johnson asked you out in the seventh grade." Crap. I was such a terrible liar that I could never keep anything a secret form her. "You suck. Ok fine but it's not a big deal I've only talked to him twice and it wasn't exactly us running through a field of flowers." I told her about the coffee shop and my muddy face plant, lifting my bangs to show her my now nasty colored bruise. "You could at least try to not laugh in my face." I told her with a scowl. "I'm sorry B, that's just too much. So... Has he asked you out?" "Of course not, I just met him yesterday. Besides he's way too hot to be interested in me." She frowned at me. "Did you look in the mirror before you left the house, you look smokin hot!" I just rolled my eyes at her. "Whatever, the last time I saw him I looked like a drowned rat and he was all knight-in-shining perfection." She copied my action and rolled her eyes.

We finished up and headed out, I still had a few hours of work left. "I'll talk to you later J, thanks for lunch." I told her giving her a quick peck on the cheek. "Love you B" She got into her car and started it, Beyoncé blaring from the stereo. Right before she drove off she all but screamed out the window. "Hey B! The next time you see him dust off your lady balls and ask him out." She drove off leaving me standing on the sidewalk. The worst part was how I much I hoped I would see him again.

The rest of the day was pretty quiet now that the big boss wasn't in the office and I finished up early. The weather was actually pretty nice when I stepped outside so I took off my coat and slung it over my arm for the walk home.
