There

Mundane?

They say, that the things that make a day great are of noteworthy importance, but in reality they aren't. Most times, little actions do even more.

It was a visibly hot day today. The sun held it's place directly above our heads, surrounded by a blue sky not a cloud in sight, and I started to dread the strain I was getting from my eyes. Everything was just so bright, I could swear that a migraine started brewing at the back of my head.

"Parker, I have a cold drink, need it?" Watson, shielding her eyes from the sun spoke up. We started walking from the mall to our office after the rain had suddenly cleared up. I, expecting that it would still be an overcast day, had suggested we take a walk instead of going for a public utility vehicle. Well, I've just proven again that regret comes at the end.

"I'll be okay Watson." I said calmly, wiping some perspiration from my forehead with my handkerchief. "We're almost there anyway, just a few more..."

"Miles." Watson cut me off as she laughed, her pace still even as she moved in front of me.

"And we may not even make it to the office on time." I said jokingly trying to lift my mood as well. Concern brewing on her face as he looked back at me, I tried to smile through the heat and the creeping pain stemming from my eyes.

"We can slow down, okay Parker?" Hints of worry started to make small creases near the corners of her eyes, and I nodded back reassuringly to keep that from developing further.

A steadied pace between us, we walked slowly but got into the office on time, I laughing like a fool as she tried to login the bio-metrics via her fingerprint. That machine never really did like her.

"Darn machine." She mumbled angrily as she punched in her employee ID and logged in manually. I tried to hold back my laugh as she directly at me. "You, I'll see you later Parker." A very serious look was set on her face, as I saluted her.

"Yes ma'am dinner at eighteen hundred." I stood as straight as a pencil and clicked my feet together.

"Indeed Cadet Parker, I will be seeing you then. Dismissed!" Replying in a stern fashion she saluted back at me and as we ended our little skit, we had beaming smiles between us.

Work flew by in such a rush that I could only remember the hazy details of the corny jokes we had during our dinner break. Believe me, you'd die if you heard them.

I waited for her like I always did, right outside her cubicle as I flipped my phone open and closed it again.

"You better not do that too much Parker, it may break." I heard her say as the click clack of her typing kept it's beat.

"And you should finish that memo so we can go home Watson." Still flipping my phone, I turned around and looked out the window in front of me. Numerous pine trees still did surround our office, but they were fenced in by numerous bars of steel and concrete pavements. A flyover was across us, and a few lamps were lined up on each of its sides.

"You're daydreaming again." Watson had crept up behind me, tugging the ends of my hair. "And you need a trim Parker." she continued.

"I could just shave it all off?" I replied jokingly.

"You could... And that would be a sight to see!" She said framing my head with her fingers. "Yep, it's a good look Parker." With her giggling loudly we started to exit the office.

"You know, I could, but only if you'd cut your hair shorter, and maybe get a perm." Waiting for the elevator I suddenly blurted out my thoughts as usual. Watson shot me and immediate look of confusion, shock, and amusement, all in one.

"We'll see Parker. We'll see."

It was no surprise that cabs came quickly for the both of us, and as we parted ways she gestured to her hair and did a sweeping motion as she laughed, I countered by doing curls on mine using my fingers. She smiled, beamed, and I could definitely see her happy, the doors closing on our cabs didn't really seem there at all, and as our departure began, a small ring brought my attention to my phone. Flipping it open I welcomed back a voice I had only heard just some fleeting seconds ago.
