ROSES HAVE THORNS PART II
Alexandra Eames sat at her desk, writing a letter to her partner. She tapped her pen thoughtfully against her chin and continued scrolling the note.
Dear Bobby,
I'm not sure if you know this, and I'm not sure if I want you to know this, or ---
Alex stopped writing and looked around. Bobby was nowhere in sight. She kept on writing.
I'm not sure if it will make a difference in our professional or personal relationship, but.. Bobby, I love you.
"Hey, Ally, what are you doing?"
Alex jumped at the sound of Bobby's voice.
"Shit! Bobby don't do that! You scared the living daylights outta me!" she said quickly, thrusting her letter underneath her desk blotter.
"Sorry, what were you so preoccupied in before, that you didn't even notice me pinching your cell phone."
"Nothing, now what's up?"
"We have a call," Bobby said. He looked at her curiously. "Are you sure you're okay?"
Alex nodded. "Yeah! I'm fine. Let's roll," she babbled, grabbing Bobby's arm and pulling him toward the door and to their car. She pushed him in the passenger side. "I'll drive."
"Okay," Bobby relented. Alex got in and got the address from her partner.
The two drove in silence for several minutes before Alex began speaking.
"Bobby?"
Yeah, Alex?"
Alex smiled. "Thanks again for the flowers earlier today."
Bobby grinned. "No problem."
Alex looked away nervously. What should I say now? She wondered. Okay, I'll just play it cool and see if he catches my drift at all.
"So, what are your big plans tonight?" she asked him.
Bobby shrugged. "Nothing much. 60 Minutes is on."
You're going to watch 60 Minutes on Valentine's Day?" Alex asked incredulously. "No big date?"
Bobby laughed. "Alex, I haven't had a big date in five years."
"Five years?" echoed Alex. "Really?"
Bobby shrugged. "Maybe my charming personality turns women off. You're a woman. What do you think my problem is?"
Alex grinned. "You never know, do you? Certain men appeal to certain women," she said, carefully choosing her words. "Some people are just meant to be together."
Bobby and Alex exchanged a look, and then Alex broke away to concentrate on the road.
