Chapter 1
It was a cold night in Toronto and Gail couldn`t wait to go home. She had spent the night at the Penny with Chris and Dov and now they were about to head home. "Home sweet home" Gail thought "Where everything is misplaced, dirty socks and boys underwear can be found everywhere and toilet seats never stay down" She rolled her eyes.
The truth is Gail didn`t want to go out. She was worn out after a long and exhausting shift. But Dov needed her. Dov needed Chris and Gail. He was devastated when he found out that Chloe, the girl who stole his heart, his nerd queen, was married. And to Wes! Dov couldn`t stand the guy.
And so Chris persuaded Gail to join them after work.
"We are here for Dov" Gail kept telling herself that as she found herself holding her phone on camera mode about to record Chris. He was trying hard to keep things light and make Dov laugh. He had 7 shots of tequila in front of him
"Are you recording this Gail? Watch me attempt the impossible"
"What Chris? Are you gonna find a girlfriend?" Both Gail and Dov laughed.
"Oh ha ha! Very funny, Gail. No. I`m gonna down all these shots in 20 seconds."
Dov gave Chris a sceptical look and said "Chris, I don`t think watching you putting yourself into a coma as a result of alcohol intoxication is going to brighten up my day".
"C`mon you two can have a go after me" Chris said with the dumbest smile on his face.
The night was fun and they finally decided to leave. Gail was miles away, slightly inebriated, thinking how soft and warm her bed was going to be when she bumped shoulders with someone also making her way to the exit. The action made her almost lose balance, which annoyed the hell out of Gail. "Watch it" she said using a hostile tone.
Before she could have a proper look at the brunette who almost sent her flying, she heard the brunette`s friend saying in a very unfriendly manner "You are the one who should watch it" Gail was in no mood for this and as she opened her mouth to let a snarky comment out, she heard the brunette say "It`s ok, Lisa".
At that moment, Gail could take the opportunity to take a proper look at the brunette. She was tall and thin, her long wavy brown hair was framing her face nicely and the glasses she was wearing suited her, adding to the whole sexy librarian look. She was stunning and Gail could not take her eyes off of her for some reason she couldn`t comprehend.
"I`m so sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going" she said offering Gail a warm smile.
Gail couldn`t help but stare at those full lips and when their eyes finally met, it felt like an eternity. Not in a bad way at all. It was as if time stood still, something straight out of a romantic comedy chick flick movie, that Gail despised so much. She could also sense that the brunette felt the same or maybe she was just imagining it.
Gail managed to say after a while in silence "Hum, I-it`s ok… I`m sorry too" She offered a shy smile and walked out of the Penny as fast as she could, meeting Dov and Chris already waiting outside "C`mon losers. Let`s go home". Gail couldn`t help but wonder what the hell was that all about, as she walked back home, leaving the cold dark night behind her.
