Waking up the next morning was more of a chore than usual, having stayed up until the early hours regaling the evening to Lukas. I picked out a fitted suit that accentuated my bust, styled my hair and put on some light make up. Arriving in the office just before nine, thanks to the beloved TFL and their failings, I was already a fluster. There he was, standing by my desk, hair slicked back into a small ponytail, and what seemed to be his staple wardrobe a tight jeans and tee combo.
"Well good morning Miss Rogers, better late than never, I've been waiting here for twenty minutes with this coffee for you I bet its cold now" he said passing it to me as I walked past him. "May I add how beautiful you look this morning," lowering his voice "and that shirt does wonders for your already amazing breasts"
"Jason! Leave Sophie alone I'm sure both you and her have better things to do" Sarah announced as she walked over towards us.
Jason took the hint and walked off looking back to wink at me behind Sarah's back.
"Don't let him talk his way into your knickers girl, I tell you he's no good that man, nice enough at first but once he gets what he wants he'll be gone! You need a nice guy, in fact I know just the person!" she exclaimed clapping her hands together.
"Nothing's going on here Sarah, it's just a coffee and I've told you before I don't want you setting me up! You maybe happily married to Alan but I'm happy on my own!"
"Oh, sure it starts with coffee," she scoffed "but next thing you know he'll have you tied to his bed having his wicked way with you!" I felt like adding it only took a few glasses of wine and for the few but fun hours I was there, there was no tying of any kind!
"Its fine Sarah I'm a big girl - in more ways than one I can look after myself" I switched on the computer and started on the emails.
That lunch, after a few glances and smiles at each other during the morning I decided to bite the bullet and text him.
Hi it's Sophie,
Fancy lunch?
Within a minute my phone was beeping
Thought you'd never ask!
Nearly finished - meet you by the lift in five.
BTW you look stunning today Red ;)
Xx
"So, since I asked you to lunch today it's my treat, where do you want to go?" I asked as we walked down by the Thames. It was a bright sunny day, the paths teeming full of tourists taking photos of the local attractions.
"I don't suppose you live around the corner do you, maybe we could go to yours and you could ravish me again?" he suggested wiggling his eyebrows.
"Alas no, and neither do you, and from what I can remember it lasted longer than the hour we're given for lunch, so it looks like you'll have to put up with a coffee and a sandwich!" I took him by the hand and lead him into a local deli I often used.

You, me, candles...!

"Hey, Lukas slight problem!" I had snuck into the work toilets to ask for advice - I really wanted to go - is this the living I've always wanted, hiding in toilets on a phone?!
"You're telling me babe, I've been paired with a right pompous arse in my stage fighting class today! Arthur his name is thinks he's the bloody king - he needs to realise only I wear the crown!"
"Oh dear, I'm sure he's not that bad! Look I've got to be quick - Jason wants to take me to dinner again tonight - what do I do?!"
"You bloody well go! Let him pay then you put out like any good lady should, if and when you come home we will discuss it all! Oh and get some photos of the stallion - good ones!" with that the phone went dead - looks like I was going to dinner.
