Spencer couldn't get Jamie out of his mind as he worked. All noticed his slight distraction, but didn't question it. Spencer sighed as he walked around in the late afternoon. He decided to make a trip to the bar, to see if there would be something there. Jamie smiled when she spotted Spencer walk in. "Hi Spencer."
"Hey. You busy?"
"Not at the moment. How've you been?"
"Good. I just got home actually."
"Good or bad?"
"It ended up being a good ending."
"Good. Would you like anything?"
"Not tonight."
"What about a pop? Or water?"
"Water is fine." She got him a bottle of water and he thanked her. "How much?"
"It's on the house." They kept talking, getting to know each other.
"So, if you work as a vet assistant, why do you work here too?"
"My mom owns it. Plus, I enjoy meeting new people."
"Okay." They kept talking as she worked, getting to know each other.
"I should get going."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. I have to go back to work in the morning."
"I understand." She then slid him a note. "Keep in touch, Spencer." He looked at the note and seen her phone number written down.
"I will."
"Good. Bye Spencer."
"Bye." He left, a smile on his face.
He did keep in touch, calling her when he wasn't busy. They hung out often, going to museums, concerts and the like. Spencer could feel himself start to fall for this girl, and he didn't mind the feeling. He plucked up the courage one afternoon to call her up and ask her to go on a date.
'Hi Spencer.'
"Hi Jamie. Umm, are you busy Friday morning?"
Jamie thought for a minute. 'No. I just have to work Friday night. Why?'
"Well, I was wondering if I could take you out for breakfast?"
'Like a date?'
"Yeah. I mean, if you don't feel comfortable with it, I understand, but-"
She cut him off, amused. 'I'd love that date.'
Spencer smiled at this. "Good. Do you want to meet up at the coffeehouse on fifth?"
'Sure. 10 okay', she asked, twirling a lock of hair around her finger.
"10 is good. I'll see you then Jamie."
'I'll see you then Spencer. Bye.'
"Bye."
Spencer hung up and smiled, looking forward to Friday. Derek caught the smile and asked, "what's going on?"
"I just asked Jamie on a date."
"And?"
"She said yes."
"My man. Where are you taking her?"
"We are meeting up for breakfast, then maybe going out somewhere."
"Good. You really like her, huh?"
Spencer just nodded. Derek smiled, happy for his friend.
