Michelle glared down at her written notes as she thought back to earlier that very day when she got in to yet another argument with her co-worker, Lovino.
He drove her absolutely insane, and she couldn't get away with working with him at all.
Her boss insisted that they'd make a good team if they just tried to work together.
Lovino had mastered the ability of getting on her nerves, and they fought over every single thing; it seemed.
She sighed as she stared helplessly at her own work left incomplete by today's argument.
It looked like another late night spent away by working.
She sighed, inching towards a glass of wine or another soothing method but knew far too well that it made her mind sloshy due to her low alcohol tolerance level, and she refused to turn in messily and sloppily done work.
Her mind had to stay sharp.
When she finally turned in to go to sleep, it was in the very early hours of the next morning for her to only obtain three to four hours of sleep.
Unbeknownst to her, Lovino also didn't get much sleep the previous night due to his workload as well.
Michelle and Lovino got in to another argument that day in part due to their already exhausted and work heavy minds.
'Why does he make us work together?' Michelle grumbled in her own mind that evening right before she turned on her computer to work.
The gentle ding of her E-mail coming with a new message drove her wildly, furious thoughts away.
Lovino Vargas
'Do you know what _ means?'
Michelle's eyes widened at the E-mail that she's received.
Michelle Laroche
'Yeah.' *Link*
She was deeply relieved that she hadn't cursed him out though she was very pleased to have understood that as Lovino hadn't.
She didn't know how it began, but they started E-mailing each other casually rather than just for work.
Michelle's eyes twinkled in mirth as she tried not to spill her wine over herself as she laughed.
Lovino was actually a very funny and interesting guy; they even managed to fight less at work though the real surprise happened though when he asked her out.
Michelle's face had flushed despite the fact that that may have been kind of difficult to see.
Her "yes" came out full of stutters and genuine surprise.
Michelle surprised herself by being nervous over how to act and what to wear; they had came a long way from where they'd began.
She felt though as if something would go wrong on the date though that never happened.
Lovino liked the same types of wine that she did though he had a higher alcohol tolerance level than her; drat.
She couldn't believe that they went from arguing often to laughter and companionship.
'May be he isn't so bad.' Michelle thought as she was pulled against his body and kissed.
The rest was history or so it seemed as the dates picked up more regularly and the E-mails never ceased as they continued to socialize with each other and get to know each other better.
They still argued yet it seemed easier now to move on from it and be forgiven from their arguments though sometimes that could be rough for them yet it never dissuaded them from dating, and it never encouraged them to drop all out of work contact with each other.
