"Taylor, it's a beautiful day. I'm tired of being stuck in this office. I want to go for a walk."

Taylor looks at me as if I have grown horns out of my head but he obviously obliges after doing a security assessment. It really is a nice day and I just need a break after the morning I had. After all, firing people because they are incompetent never feels good.

We leave the building and I'm looking around downtown Seattle for a shop to get lunch. I think I'm in the mood for a big burger.

I turn my head a little to look at Taylor to let him know what I am thinking, maybe he can recommend a restaurant. "Hey Jason, I was thinking of getting a- WHAT THE FUCK!" I scream because someone just rammed into my chest. I want to be angry and see red, but I can't. Why can't I be angry and see red? I look down to see Jason helping a small figure off of the ground. I see a chocolate haired woman dusting off her clothes when she looks up and I am stuck. My God she is beautiful. I see red now because Jason is still touching her. I need to know her.

"I am so sorry that I was not watching where I was going. I was trying to finish up a report before I got back to the office. I am usually not that clumsy". She rambles on and I don't get aggravated by it. I want to know more.

"It's completely an accident. Let's call it a draw. Hi, I'm Christian" I tell her with a playful smile. Out of the corner of my eye I see Taylor standing there wide-eyes and disbelief all over his face.

"I think that can be managed. Hi, I'm Anastasia or Ana for short" She tells me with a slight laugh and gives me a playful smile back. "Well I should get going. I have to pick up my lunch and get back to the office. Have a great day." She can't leave yet!

"Wait! I'm starving. Where are you going to get lunch? Can I come with?" I am glad to see she hesitates for a few seconds before answering.

"Sure. It's just a little hole in the wall burger place that I love. You must keep a secret though." She jokes as she whisper yells it.

"Perfect! I was just looking for a burger place before you ran me over." I give her my deal sealing smile before she gasps and swats at me playfully.

"I did no such thing. Little ole me knocking over the giant? I think not good sir," she puts on a very convincing southern accent I'll admit. "Come on. The burger place is about 2 blocks away. Follow me." She stares up at me before she starts walking away.

"Anywhere" I whisper and startle because I realized I said it out loud. I look and make sure she didn't hear me, but I just find Jason with a smirk on his face. He knows I mean it. I'll follow her anywhere.
