"One vindaloo for you and a fish and chips for me." Gerry said as he lay down the take away dishes on her desk and closed her office door.
"I thought you were getting a posh dinner." Sandra replied as she picked up a naan bread from and opened the curry tub.
"Yeah but I couldn't be bothered to cook and well I drove past the fish and chip shop and thought you'd want a curry so drove to the other side of town to pick you up a curry."
"Well thank you, but do you know what'd be most helpful?"
"Are you never happy?" Gerry moaned sarcastically.
"Apparently not but helping me with this paperwork would be helpful and then we can get home quicker."
"Why the hell could Brian and Jack not do it?! You never even had a go at them."
"I'm tired Gerry, we only got back from holiday last night and I don't feel particularly well."
"Aww baby, leave the work and lets go home, you'll feel more refreshed and then you can shout at the others tomorrow and shove the paper work on their desks."
"No Gerry, it needs done. Strickland needs it by 3 tomorrow." She groaned but as Gerry kissed her she couldn't refuse, she needed to get home, she needed the rest."
"Gerry, I can't! I have work to do." Sandra cried in the middle of her sleep, she was on a conference in Liverpool with the rest of her team. Unfortunately though the twin room she was sharing was with Gerry, she'd made a big fuss about it claiming she'd rather share a room with a monkey or even a caterpillar.
"Sandra? Are you okay?" Gerry asked as he crawled out of bed and over to hers, he hadn't been able to sleep and had been tossing and turning.
"Uh Gerry what do you want?! It's the middle of the night."
"You were dreaming I think, you said my name." Gerry told her.
"You're mad in the head Gerry, of course I never said your name." she told him but the colour of her face contradicted her words. He would have given as good as he'd got had it not been the middle of the night.
"Truth now Sandra, I know you did it was clear as hell." Now she was faced with a dilemma, does she tell him the truth and well a brief overview of her perfect dream or just dismiss it and claim he's mad as she usually did."
"Fine, you were annoying the hell out of me in my dream just like you do in reality."
"Really because it wasn't really the kind of tone you use with me it was the kind of tone you'd use when your whiney." He leaned into her as he sat on her bed and kissed her.
"See that kiss told me everything I need to know, you were dreaming about me and it wasn't the first time either. Am I right?"
"Yes." She told him as she finally gave up the only secret she kept from him.
