Gavin sat at his desk with nothing else to do since he finished his work for the day and it was almost time to go home for the weekend. Gavin got up and went to sit in the chairs by the door. As he leaned his head back and started dozing off, Barbara walked through the door carrying a heavy box. Just as she passed through the doorway, she dropped the box, causing papers and folders to fly everywhere. Gavin lifted his head as the box clattered to the floor. Barbara got on her knees and began picking up the papers one by one. Gavin stood up and looked down at her, arms folded.
"Need help there, love?" he asked with a slight grin. Barbara looked up at the tall ash-haired-coloured man and nodded. He, too, got on his knees and began to pick up the papers. Gavin didn't know who this girl was because he never passed her at work but he knew that she worked here. When they got all the papers and folders picked up, they placed them in the box. Gavin picked up the box and stood up.
"Oh.. you don't have to car-"
"It's ok. I got it. And plus, it would be bad if you dropped it again, love." Gavin smiled again at the blonde woman. "So, where you taking this thing?"
"The break room." Gavin nodded and began walking. There was a short moment of silence before Gavin began talking.
"Gavin. Gavin Free," he introduced, setting the box down on the table. She looked up at him and smiled.
"Barbara Dunkelman." Gavin looked back down to her and smiled once again. He didn't exactly know what to do since he doesn't know how to talk to girls well. That and he didn't really like anyone that he knew. Well, except for the blonde he was staring at. "Anyways, it was nice meeting you, Gavin," she said, starting to walk away. Gavin's smile faded as he watched her walking away. He then smiled again and ran after her.
"Hey wait!" he yelled, trying to catch up with her. When he got in front of her, he stopped. "Would you like to… you know...um.."
"Sure!" Barbara beamed. She grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and began writing her phone number and address and gave the paper to Gavin. "Tomorrow. Pick me up at noon at this address." She walked back to her office and closed the door, leaving Gavin standing there like a blushing, smiling idiot. Gavin snapped back into reality and ran to the AH office to grab his things.
