Who Knew?
Lack of Focus
I couldn't focus. Coming in to work late was abnormal for me, and not paying attention to my work, was just as alien. I had walked in to work as casual as possible, but it was 1:30, so it was a little hard. I made an excuse to my dad- who's the head of the FBI agency- that I'd slept in late, and that when I did finally get up, I wasn't feeling very good. He didn't seem to buy it, which made sense because I was Sammy Keyes, but he let it slide. After all, I was hot shot FBI agent, and as some of the other agents liked to say, 'Daddy's Girl.'
Now, I was stitting in my office, twirling around in my chair, playing with my pencil. I couldn't get Casey out of my mind. He stuck there, and no matter how hard I tried to kick him out, he'd continuisly stay in. It was driving me crazy. So finally I did the rational thing.
I called him.
He didn't pick up his cell phone, and since I was desperate to talk to him, I called his work number. He picked that up with, "Haglund Kelley Jones & Wilder LLP, how can I help you?" I smiled at the sound of his voice; so sweet, so nice, so proffesional...
"Casey? It's Sammy..."
"Sammy? Hey! What's up?" He asked,
"um...I...I was just bored. No one's commited any murders lately. The only stuff I could do is paperwork, but I despise paperwork. Also...I was wondering if you wanted to meet for dinner tonight?" I held my breath at the silence.
"I can't help you with the murder thing, but I'll be at your place at 8." In the background I heard someone calling him by his last name, "Shoot! That's my boss. I gotta go, okay? I'll be at your place at eight. Bye!" I squeezed in a 'bye' before tossing my phone on the desk. A huge grin was on my face, but it slowly faded away when I realized something: I didn't have a dress to wear.
I snatched my phone right back up and speed-dialed Marissa.
I had to admit, I looked good. I looked at my refelection again in the mirror, my brown hair was curled, my blue-green eyes were highlited with mascara, my cheeks were lightly brushed with blush, my strapless blue-green dress that ended above my knees was ironed, and my dark turqouise toenails were tucked neatly in my silver flats. Marissa had left about 10 minutes ago, and now, it was 15 seconds to eight o-clock. Exactly fifteen seconds later, the doorbell rang.
He wasn't late. He wasn't early. He was perfectly on time.
I pulled myself together and opened the door to reveal a handsome looking face, looking even cuter with black slacks, white button-up shirt, skinny black tie, and his black over coat. When he saw me, he froze, and a smile slowly evolved onto his face.
"Wow. You look...Wow...Amazing..." He stuttered, I closed and locked the door behind me,
"Thanks. You look good, too. Handsome." He offered me a hand, and I took it, allowing him to lead me to his car. We drove for about 15 minutes before Casey stopped and helped me out. I looked at the sign above the awn: The Landmark Broiler.
He lead me in, and we got seats easily due to Casey calling in earlier and reserving them. Once we both ordered, we sat in a comfortable silence for a few minutes before he broke it.
"So, why'd you invite me out tonight?" I took a sip of my water and shrugged,
"I figured...maybe we should figure some things out. Like where we are?" He gave me a strange look,
"Didn't you see the sign when we walked in?" a confused crease in his eyebrows, as I laughed,
"Casey! I mean with us! I meant what are we going to do about us?" The crease in his eyebrows dissapeared, and his mouth formed a small 'o.' He shrugged, and thanked the waiter when he set down our food.
"I dunno. Where do you want to be?" I twirled some pasta around my fork,
"I want...I want to try us out. If you want to, of course." He smiled that cokcy, crooked smile.
"I'd like that. So...that makes you my girlfriend then?" I nodded, and now, he was my boyfriend, and I was his girlfriend.
I tugged on Casey's hand towards the door to my condo. After we'd kissed under the awning, both of us had been in the mood to kiss. I excitedly worked at the key, and when I finally pushed open the door, I dragged Casey inside, shutting the door behind me.
It was time to put my new boyfriend to good use.
Wow...I think I've update/posted 5 chapters today...Five.

XOXO
