" you played flag football?!" Daniel's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Yep" proud that I did, I took a bite of my pizza

"But your so little" I finished chewing my pizza and swallowed.rolling my eyes at his statement .

"Please tell me something new " I watched Daniel take a sip of his drink, he grabbed a napkin and whipped the pizza grease off his mouth, he leaned back in his seat.

"Well I guess I can't call you beautiful then" I felt my soda going into the wrong pipe in my throat causing me to cough. Wasn't expecting that.

"Actually that would be a rare thing that I have ever heard " I looked down at my plate covered with chicken wing bones and pizza grease,then to my phone. I saw that I had a call incoming in from my boss. I press answer and place the phone to my ear.

"Hello?"

"Hey Stacey, your going to have to cut your lunch break short... I need you fix this mistake that Mr.Aarnold did with the uhh machine" what machine?

"What machine...and don't we have a mechanic for that type of situation?"

"Umm my computer and the mechanic is sick and your the only person I know that is smart enough to fix it." I sighed in frustration.

"If I'm correct I believe you have a degree in computer engineering correct?"

"That is true sir bu-"

"So that means you are qualified to do this simple request." He stated.

"I'm on my way.." he hung the phone up and I slid my phone in my purse. I looked up seeing Daniel coming out of the bathroom. I completely forgot about him.

"Hey Daniel I'm so sorry but we gotta end our lunch right now " I really wanted to stay longer so I can order a milkshake but oh well.Daniel walked up to me, gave me a hug then broke away.

"It's all good, I understand" he gave me his little cute smile then walked me to my car.

"What exactly did Mr.Aarnold do?" I scanned the computer looking at what could possibly be wrong with his darn computer.

"Well he tripped over the wires and accidentally pressed on the keyboard making it not work right anymore" He's doesn't sound so sure. I checked the wires and saw that some were messed up. I plugged in all of them.

"Is it working?" I yelled from under the his desk.

"Let me see" I felt Devin brushed passed me, causing me to jump up and hit my head under the table.

"No it's not working" Is he chuckling? I got up from under the desk and brushed my skirt down.

"Well you might just need to get a new adapter. The one you have looks slightly ripped" I informed.

"Oh really?" He lifted his eyebrows in shock.

"Yeah, I know a place where you can get another one for cheap. I'll make a note to go and get one tomorrow." I got ready to leave until I heard Mr.Gordon call my name.

"I'll come with you" I was caught off guard by his words.

"You sound really desperate sir...are you ok?" Devin looked everywhere but my face. Then he looked down at his computer then slowly back up to my face.

"Yeah I'm just anxious to get this computer back to working"
