I walked back to my desk after lunch with Marjorie, Kenjie, and Sarah, We had all had a great time catching up and laughing over our meals, but now it was time to get back to work.
As we settled into our desks and started concentrating on our tasks, I felt someone’s eyes on me. I turned to see, Nolan, walking past our cubicles with a smirk on his face. My heart raced as I realized he was staring directly at me.
I felt my face flush with embarrassment as Nolan disappeared into his office. I knew my coworkers had seen the whole exchange and I could feel their eyes on me as they settled back into their own work.
After a few minutes, Sarah leaned over and whispered, “He is cherry around you. Are you guys messing around?”
Kenjie chimed in, “Yeah, and what of your date how did it go”
I pretend not to hear what they were saying smiling. Nolan, our boss, was interested in me? It was hard to wrap my head around it, but at the same time, I felt a little giddy at the thought.
My coworkers could tell I was blushing and they cheered me on, “Come on, Alexa, spill the beans! Would you date him?”
I just smiled, thinking of how my life would change if I were to date Nolan. It was a tempting thought, but at the same time, I wasn’t sure if I was ready for all that came with dating Nolan.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
As I walked out of the office building, I felt excited. Nolan had asked me out on another date, this time to a musical theater show. We met up at the theater, and as we settled into our seats, I couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
We both ordered some light snacks and watched the show, enjoying the music and the storyline. After the show, we ended up at a fast-food restaurant nearby. Nolan admitted that he had never been to Taco Bell before.
I was surprised. Nolan had the strength to rebel against his father and go out to sing in concert openings, but he had never tried Taco Bell? I laughed and Nolan looked at me weird. He laughed at my speech about the fast-food chain.
As I ordered for both of us, Nolan seemed hesitant to try the burrito I ordered for him. I rolled my eyes at his hesitation and took a bite from his food to show him that it wasn’t poisonous.
To my relief, he chuckled and took a bite of his food, surprised that he didn’t expect it to taste so amazing. We ended up talking and laughing as we finished our food, and I couldn’t help but feel more comfortable around Nolan.
After we finished eating, we walked back to the car. He opened it for me, I couldn’t help but feel a little flutter in my stomach.
“Thanks for a great night,” he said, smiling at me.
I smiled back, feeling a little shy, “Thanks for taking me out.”
