Smoke, Fire and My Man

Chapter 3

"Hey, you didn't call me," Jake stands in the doorway of my cubical. 

"Well, I am sorry. I was a little confused about why you just randomly gave your number to me. 

He chuckles, "Would you like to go out for supper with me tonight?"

"Umm, I don't see why not," I study his face trying to figure him out.

He smiles, "Great, I will pick you up here after your shift," He smiles again and leaves.

Well, that was interesting. Just then the phone rings. I answer, write everything down and get the information to firefighters waiting ready to go. Jake and the others hop in the truck and are off before I can blink. Then I head back to my desk awaiting another call.

Of course, that was the only call today. I think this job is going to kill me, the only good part about it is Jake... wait, what? Where did that thought come from? I must be losing my mind.

I step outside to see Jake leaning on the hood of a 2017 Acura NSX. I look over it.

"You like?" Jake askes.

"Yes, but don't let it get to your head," I smirk.

He throws his head back and laughs a deep attractive laugh. He smiles and opens my door before sliding across the hood to the driver's side. When he closes the door I roll my eyes and chuckle. He smiles, obviously happy with my reaction. He starts the car and the engine makes a loud roar. I jump and he chuckles.

"Catless downpipe," He states. I nod.

15 minutes later we arrive at a nice restaurant at the edge of town. After he kills the engine I go to open my door. Before I get it open he locks it. I look over at him to see him staring at me. He gives me this look telling me to stay, before getting out and coming around to my side and opening my door, I roll my eyes. He smiles and takes my hand in his own and leads me into the restaurant. 

Jake and I sit, talk and laugh the whole time, both of us having a really good time. Jake pays for the meal and leads me out the door. When we get to the car he turns me around to face him.

"I had a really good time with you tonight," He licks his lips looking down at my own.

"So did I," I smile. He leans in brushing his nose against my cheek. I take a sharp breath in and he chuckles moving his lips across my cheek to my lips before kissing me. When I kiss him back he wraps his arms around me pulling me in closer and pushes my back against the side of the car. We both pull back breathing heavily. He smiles searching my face before pulling me in again.

"Ok," I pant, " we should get going. We both have work tomorrow."

Jake sighs before opening my door.
