"Did someone here call for an IT guy? I heard a lady in here needs some more RAM in hard drive…"

I swivel around in my desk chair to see Teddy Masen strutting towards me chest puffed out and waggling his eyebrows.

"You have an unhealthy obsession with porn, Coach Masen," I scold as he makes himself comfortable in one of my office chairs. "Do the parents of your students and athletes know this?"

"Hey, what happens behind closed doors is between me and my DVD player," he retorts, deflating a bit. "Besides those perverts in Forks should be more worried about cleaning out their internet history, than whether or not I own 'Phallus in Wonderland'."

"Teddy we are in a LIBRARY!" I gasp.

"The setting for many high quality pornographic films," he stage whispers.

I quickly stand from my desk and give him a shove as I move to close the door to my office behind him. I can't have the entire reference section hearing the dirty ramblings of an insane man.

"Teddy, six years playing minor league ball for some farm team in Rhode Island does not mean you hold a free pass to be an obnoxious perverted narcissistic asshole for the rest of your life."

"There were a lot of adjectives in that sentence, Miss Swan. Soon you are going to make me think you don't like me," Teddy gives me his patented puppy pout and I can see exactly what all those dumb blondes fall for.

I roll my eyes and gesture for him to get on with it, "Okay Teddy, to what do I owe the pleasure? And how did you get past Mrs. Cope? She has become ridiculously strict about personal visits on work time."

"Hey, she was the brains behind the restructuring that cut your hours and benefits and vacation time last year. She can be a little flexible with your personal visitors. Not to mention it takes very little of the Masen charm to get her so hot and flustered she needs to take a hot flash break," Teddy informs me with authority.

"You make it really hard to be your friend," I tell him. "You can be such a pig when it comes to women. If your mother knew how you talked about women, women her own age no less!"

"Speaking of my mother, that is why I am here," Teddy swiftly changes the subject. "I need help buying her birthday gift. It's the big Six-Oh and I am lost."

"Okay, I am pretty busy this weekend, but I can go Saturday after work or Sunday afternoon?" I ask looking through my schedule for the week.

"Actually her birthday is Thursday and I am meeting her that night for dinner at The Wharf…" he explains.

"You need a gift in 48 hours?" I ask incredulously. "You are every bad cliché about men that exists rolled into one unfortunately attractive package."

"No," he argues. "I have been trying for weeks to find her the perfect gift and finally admitted defeat and asked for help. That's better right?"

"Barely," I roll my eyes. "Pick me up at my place after school tomorrow."

Teddy stands and leans over my desk to kiss me on my cheek.

"Thanks B. I knew I could count on you, see you around 4," he whispers in my ear and I get goosebumps on my arms.

Huh. That's new.
