Zoe's POV:
I found the receipt on the counter with the stuff Max had taken out of his pocket I was shocked that he would actually put in the effort to buy me flowers. No one had ever done that for me before not even Nick Jordan. I followed him outside.
"Max… Where you going?" I said as soon as I got outside the door he turned around and looked at me.
"Home" was his reply, I hope I haven't ruined my chances with him.
"Alone" I said back flirting with him slightly.
"Yeah you see unfortunately you are a doctor and I am a porter the gap is as gaping as the age." He was flirting back smirking and walking towards me.
"Shut up" I said flirtatiously putting my finger on his lip. We were stood inches apart now. "I haven't been sent flowers since last… forever. They're gorgeous thank you" He nodded in return. I kissed him and even better he kissed me back, I felt the spark.
"Well then I guess they were worth it" He said back to me, he sounded slightly nervous now. I smiled at him and we both turned away him to go home and me to go back into the pub. "I stole them from the graveyard by the way" He said causing me to laugh. I walked back into the pub smiling to myself not noticing everyone's eyes on me. I looked up catching all of their eyes in the process.
"Max forgot something" They seemed to buy it thank god, they nodded and went back to their drinks.
Max's POV:
I walked out of the pub after Zoe rejected me, as much as I hated to say it, I can feel myself falling for her. I'm falling for my boss, my beautiful, intelligent, sophisticated boss. I was pulled out of my thoughts by Zoe, had she followed me out here?
"Max… Where you going?" she said, I turned around looking at her shocked at the fact that she had come out after me.
"Home" I replied, still in shock. But then I looked down at her hand and she had the receipt in it, Shit she knows.
"Alone?" She said smirking slightly, she was flirting with me now.
"Yeah you see unfortunately you are a doctor and I am a porter the gap is as gaping as the age." I flirted back and started to walk towards her.
"Shut up" she said putting her finger on my lips at the same time. I wish she wasn't my boss, I know I haven't got a chance with her when she is. "I haven't been sent flowers since last… forever. They're gorgeous thank you" she said smiling slightly. I just nodded in return not knowing what to say. How has someone that beautiful never been sent flowers? Before I knew what was happening she had kissed me and obviously I was going to kiss her back. She pulled away but I could still feel the connection between us. She was perfect.
"Well then I guess they were worth it" I said back to her trying not to sound as nervous as I was but probably failing. No women has ever made me feel like this before. We both turned away to go opposite ways and I knew I needed to say something better to end the conversation. "I stole them from the graveyard by the way" Why did I say that, but it made her laugh so I was happy. I loved hearing her laugh and she's the only person I can actually be myself around which makes me happier. The whole walk home I was just thinking about her and our kiss. When I got through the door my phone buzzed in my pocket. I took it out and realised I had three texts, one from Robyn, one form Lofty and one from Zoe. I opened the one from Robyn first, 'Don't start the film without us' Oh yeah it was film night, I replied with a simple 'Yeah okay sis'. I went on to open Lofty's 'We're on our way back, Robyn doesn't trust you to wait for us to start the film, get the beers and popcorn ready will you' I better text back and get that ready 'Yeah doing it now' was all I replied before I got the popcorn and beers ready. Now to read Zoe's text, 'You busy tonight?;)' was all it said, I wish I didn't have to turn her down but I didn't have much of a choice Robyn and Lofty would kill me otherwise. I texted back saying 'Yeah sorry I wish I wasn't, tonight's film night Robyn and Lofty are getting the film now. You can come over if you want though xx' If she says yes then I'm going to have to ring Robyn but if she says no then I won't. Now all I do is wait.
