Jax's POV
I was shocked. I had no idea what to say. I sat there for who knows how long staring at my boss. He was peacefully sitting there looking back. He picked up his drink and took a sip. Never breaking eye contact. As he puts his glass down he licks his lips like he's teasing me. I clear my throat before looking away. I see a glimpse of him smiling in amusement, but I don't think anything of it.
Our food comes to the table breaking the moment and saving me from the awkwardness that could've ensued. I smile at the waiter and say thank you before looking down at my food. I look across the table and see my boss putting a napkin next to his plate before putting his fork into his food. I look back down at my food and start eating as well.
"So," I say. "Why'd you invite me out with you?" This question has been circling around my brain ever since he invited me, but I didn't have the courage to ask until he was distracted by his food. He finishes chewing and puts down his fork before replying.
"I wanted to get to know you more. We saw each other for the majority of your working hours, but we don't know much about each other. I like you a lot Jax and I wanted to become friends." He explains, but I'm just stuck on "I like you a lot." I know he means it as a friend, but I can't stop myself from hoping a little. I realize I've just been staring at him for awhile so I answer:
"I want to be friends as well," I smile at him. He smiles back and starts eating again. Not knowing what to say, I go back to eating my food.
