"Liv!" I called out to her as she rushed down the precinct steps, in a hurry to get home, or at least, that's where I hoped she was going, or else my plan would fail right of the bat. She turned to look at me curiously as I caught up with her and smiled, tilting my glasses down as I did so.
"Uh, what are you doing tonight?" Damn, did I just stutter?
"Nothing really, John, why?" She smirked a bit. Damn, she noticed me stutter. Oh well, I can't stop now, I'm on a roll, now for step two of my "plan". Ok, so it wasn't much of a plan but...
"Do you want to go out for a couple of drinks, maybe?" I think my smile was a little flirty. That is what I was going for...but did it creep her out?
"I'd love to John, thought you'd never ask."
I guess it didn't.
Because she smiles that brilliant smile of hers I secretly love so much, and she winks at me, and even though its cloudy out, her face is glowing.
I laugh a bit and nudge her playfully on the shoulder.
"Well then, my dear, lets go!"
