Today is THE day. I mean David's party day. David is this tech guy working at CTU. He had organized kind of a weird party. Basically, he had just invited men, and each of them could only come if they were bringing a girl. That's the funny thing.
I have to confess, when I heard about it, I prayed that Tony would ask me to come with him. Okay, we've never been on a date (yet) and this evening won't be the most romantic evening ...
Anyway, he invited me in the end.
It happened on a normal day. We were at CTU, 3 pm, and nothing really interesting was happening. No one had intended to blow off the building for at least two weeks. What a relief.
I was writing some reports, and this was more than boring because I had nothing to report at all. The phone ring cut me off of my thoughts :
"Dessler ?" I answered.
"Hey !" Tony said happily. "So-uh ... have you finished writing the reports ?"
"Almost. What do you want me to do ?" I asked rather reluctantly.
"Um, could you come up to my office ?"
"Sure. I'll be right up" I said, then we hung up.
I saved and closed the report and quickly headed to his office. I'm saying quickly, because I was wondering what he was gonna tell me. I mean, it can't be business, otherwise he would've said it on the phone. So it must've been personal. Wow, here he was. Sometimes I have these little moments when I realize how hot he is.
I opened the door without knocking.
"Hey, have you finished with the reports ?" He started.
"You asked me that about two minutes ago"
"Oh right, sorry uh ... actually I was wondering ... have you heard about David's party ?"
Oh my God. He couldn't be serious. I was not prepared for this discussion.
"Yeah ! Are you going ?" Ladies and Gentlemen, this was the most shameful moment of my life.
"Uh ... I can't go alone" He stated.
"Oh !" Jesus, what an argumented speech.
"You wanna come with me ?" He asked softly.
"Sure"
"..."
"I mean yeah, I'd be pleased to go with you" I smiled.
"Wow, great ! Uh, what about I pick you up at 7.30 ? The party starts at 8, so I could take you and drive over there" He smiled back.
"Sounds perfect" And then I gave him one of my half-tenderly-half-sexy smile and walked out the door.
God, I had a date with Tony Almeida.
