Smoke, Fire and My Man

Chapter 6

I wake up the next morning on Jake's couch with his arms wrapped around me. I look at my watch. 8:30 a.m.

"Jake we need to go!" I yell 

"Huh. What. Why," He starts waking up.

"We have 30 minutes to get to work," I yelled, rushing to grab my purse. 

"Aw shit!" He jumps up and starts getting on his jacket before we both go rushing out of the door. 

Jake was late by 25 minutes but luckily I was only late by 5 minutes. When we walk in we have the whole station looking at us. I walk over to Heather at the front counter.

"I am so sorry I am late,"

"It's fine," She smiles. "You just have to tell me all about it today, k?"

I laugh, "Ok." Then I head off to my desk. 

That afternoon Heather came over for me story. She is a very beautiful woman. She has her reddy, orange hair falling softly around her round face, and thick-framed glasses. She was a fairly short girl, but she made up for that with her soft but leadership like personality. 

"Ok, so what happened?" She asked sitting down next to me.

"Nothing really, he invited me over for a movie. We watched about half of it and then fell to sleep on his couch," I say.

"Nice! I want myself a hot fireman," Heather pouts.

"Haha, have you ever asked one of the other guys out, maybe Mike?" 

She blushes, "No, should I?"

"Totally!" I laugh.

"Ok, I will do it," Heather smiles.
