the flirting

Seeing Jacob leaving cubicles, Connie walked faster to catch up.
Walking along side him she playfully nudged his arm with hers. "Hey you." She said smiling.
"Hey." Answered Jacob slowing his pace.
"When's your break?" Asked Connie.
"In fifteen minutes, why?" Inquired Jacob holding open a door for the clinical lead.
"I have some paperwork to do in my office...fancy keeping me company?" Wondered Connie still smiling up at him.
"Errr...I don't know..." Said Jacob pretending to look unimpressed. "...I'm not sure I want to sit and watch you work."
"Okkaay." Said Connie contemplating another offer. "...how about I hold off on the paperwork."
Jacob stopped walking and made it clear that he was seriously thinking about the offer. "I don't know...." he said as he started walking. "...Ian and Jez have a basket ball..."
Connie knew he was teasing her. "I'll supply the coffee...final offer!" She told him in her no nonsense tone.
Jacob looked down smirking at her. "I'll tell the guys I can't make it...like I could ever refuse you anyway!"
Both grinning happily to themselves they continued down the corridor, without another word they parted ways.

"What?" Asked Connie as she noticed Charlie smiling at her.
"You and Jacob are back together." Stated Charlie. "It doesn't take a genius you know." Said Charlie.
"Sorry to disappoint you, but your not the genius you think you are." Said Connie.
"Lying never works." Charlie told her in his wisdom.
Walking away Charlie left a stunned clinical lead pondering his words and her actions.
Yes her and Jacob were getting along.
Yes they spent time together.
They flirted...sometimes brazenly so.
At work the only thing that was different from when they were together was the lack of stolen kisses.
Granted they didn't see each other outside of work...but she knew that wasn't through choice.
Breaking her chain of thought Connie looked at her watch picking up her files she went in search of coffee.
