The petite girl strolled down the New York sidewalk. It was in the middle of the afternoon, so of course, it was crowded. But, she was lost in her own little world. Her black hair shined in the sun and her teal blue eyes sparkled. She was on her way to her work. She worked as Nathan Petrelli's secretary and just stepped out for lunch.
Being Nathan's secretary, she knew Peter very well. Actually, they were very close. He told her everything. Even about his "Powers". She believes much in Peter, for she knows exactly what he is talking about. You see, she has a power of her own. Plant Manipulation. She can tell plants what to do. She hasn't yet told Peter yet. The timing just isn't right.
Getting lost in her thoughts again, someone shoved her out of their way and she dropped her purse. She was just about to pick it up when another man bends down to pick it up. "Here you go." He says, gently.
"Thanks," She says, gratefully. "People these days." She says, humorously.
The man gives a small chuckle. "My name is Gabriel." He says, warmingly.
"I'm Rose. Rose Greene." Replies Rose as she sticks her hand out for a shake. He gently takes it and shakes her hand.
"It's very nice to meet you." He says, a smile on his face.
Rose smiles back at him for a moment before realizing she is running late. "Oh!" She looks down at her watch. "Lord, I'm running late."
"Here. Let me get you a cab." He suggests. Rose gratefully agrees. Gabriel walks over to the curb and gestures for a taxi. The taxi comes to a stop and Gabriel opens the back door for her. She slides in and he closes the door for her.
Quickly, Rose opens her window and leaned out. "Say, what's your number?" She asked. "In case I ever need someone to call me a cab."
Gabriel smiled. "Oh, it's 503-903-7829." He said.
"I'll-I'll give you a call then." She said. Gabriel nodded and the car began pulling away. She quickly got out her cell phone and added his number in.
She bit her bottom lip as she thought about him. She almost missed her stop. She quickly got out and paid her fine before rushing into the building. She almost ran to her desk when her phone started ringing. "This is Rose Greene. Secretary of Nathan Petrelli. How can I help you?"
She was surprised by Peter's warm voice. "Hey, Rose. It's me, Peter."
"Hi Peter." She greeted. She placed the phone between her shoulder and her ear and swiveled her chair to face her computer and began typing. "What's up?"
"Nothing much." He replied, sighing. "Hey, um, you want to come over tonight?" Rose smiled. "I've got nothing better to do. And…I need to tell you something."
"That's great," She said, biting the bottom of her lip. "Because I have to tell you something too." She had promised herself she would tell him today. No matter what.
"Thanks. I really need to talk to you." She heard him say.
"Okay, well, I have to go. I've got another call on the line. I'll talk to you tonight?"
"Yeah, bye." He heard the click of him hanging up. She hung up on line one and answered line one.
