Michelle thought back to 3 days before – the day of the nuclear bomb threat...
**** Michelle was sitting at her desk and Tony came over and sat down...she still can't believe what she did...
"I was talking to Mason before.....and...."
"And" Tony replied when she paused, she was nervous – her palms had been so sweaty but she knew she had to tell him....
She finally got the words out... "Look, I know this is hardly the time but..." She had paused quickly then, thoughts quickly ran through her head....what if he totally rejects me? What if he thinks I'm dumb for asking him now, what if he doesn't like me at all? But she knew she had gotten that far so she had to continue...
"I don't know how much time we have so...."
Ok this is it she thought – after all these months she was finally gonna tell him... "I just wanted you to know...if you wanted to go out sometime..." She sort of stumbled through this... and she knew how dumb she sounded....but thankfully he quickly replied...it wasn't much but silence would have been much worse...
"Michelle" That might have been all he said....but I think he might have wanted to say more...but I was sort of embarrassed...so I opened my stupid big mouth and added more...
"No, look...you don't have to say anything....I just wanted you to know how I felt..."
"No Michelle..." This was it...the rejection - I had originally thought at the time...O gosh...he was gonna hate me forever or something like that..."
"I feel the same way"....I hadn't expected this....I thought he was gonna say something like...I don't like you, or this won't work or some sort of rejection like that...but he didn't....
"I've just been keeping my distance...because....uh"
This is when I knew what he was talking about...I knew all about Nina...the history of Nina – everyone knew who Nina was – she had used Tony and Jack for information until they had found out she was a mole...
"Because of what happened between you and Nina?" I understood his position completely...if I had gone out with someone at work who had just used me for information...I don't think I would have ever trusted anybody ever again...
He didn't really answer me here....he kind of shook his head and gave a quiet, mumbly yes...he was still so upset over the whole Nina thing...who could blame him? He had after all being the innocent victim...
Eventually he did answer yes...it took awhile...it seemed like forever...
This sort of loosened me up...he liked me, he was just worried about the Nina thing...I tried to lighten the mood a little... "So you think I just want you for your information?"
We both semi laughed at this...I don't know how I remembered this so well...I guess it's because it was an important moment for me... "So uh...what are we saying here than? Uh...If we save LA from a nuclear bomb, than...you and I get together for dinner and a movie? Or something?"
I blushed at this...I felt myself turning red, and I had this huge grin on my face...I had to change the subject...
I smiled at him, composed myself and told him I'd get a list or something...now that part I don't remember well...
I also just remember watching him walk away...I was so proud of myself...it had taken me 5 months to finally get up the courage to ask him...and in the middle of a nuclear bomb threat....just hours after a ton of people had been killed or injured by a bomb in our very own office.... ****
That was our big breakthrough moment...but there were more...I remember the first and last time we ever kissed...
My brother had shown up to my work around 2am I think....I don't really remember why he came, something to do with hanging up the phone and wanting to talk to me in person... he saw Carrie...got upset with her and started strangling her...I didn't know what to do...they took him away and I lost it...
I lost it completely...it had been a long day...so many problems, mistakes, etc...
I couldn't take it anymore...I needed time to myself...and I went over in a corner but I guess Tony had seen me leave because he followed me...I don't remember a lot of stuff we said but I do remember some...
***He put down his crutches and came closer... "Carrie's gonna be fine..."
Like I cared about how Carrie was, all I cared about was Danny...he didn't mean to hurt her....and she did deserved it after what she did to him...
"Is she gonna press charges?" This really wasn't a big deal if she did or not...but I guess it did in the moment...
"No, no I don't think so..." I don't think he actually knew...I think he was just trying to cheer me up...and it did cheer me up...not a lot but some...pressing charges could have ruined my reputation...after all he was my brother...
I don't remember parts between than...I do know that I had a mini breakdown....I remember hugging him and telling him "I'm so tired, and I'm so scared..." I really was scared...scared for myself, scared for my co-workers, scared for all the people in LA, scared for all the people around the world that knew people or had family in LA, scared because we didn't know what was going to happen...
I pulled out of the hug and just stared at him, his adorable face, the guy I liked so much, being there to comfort me in a time of need...I was so vulnerable, I didn't know what I was thinking but I just went in for a kiss....He kissed back but I still was ashamed after...I shouldn't have done that...
When we pulled out of the kiss we both heard a voice...the last voice we ever wanted to hear...
"Tony" Carrie abruptly said... "Chappelle..." I don't remember what she said...something about him wanted to see Tony...I don't know and frankly don't care – because I'll always hate Carrie and push everything she always says out of my mind...***
That was the first kiss with him....and it was great....but than I thought he'd be upset or something but he wasn't...I remember him telling me that as well....I think that day was the day I'd been the most scared, happiest, proud and upset...
*** "Listen, um...about what happened before...um......I'm sorry...I shouldn't have..."
I really shouldn't have...not really business like....and I mean he was comforting me...as a friend....
"Don't.......Don't be sorry...I'm not..."
"Really?" When he told me he wasn't sorry I was so confused....I thought he'd b kind of upset, not ok about it...maybe he was the one for me...I think after he said this...I liked him even more than I already did...
"Really..." ***
So many great moments in one day with Tony....and when it was finally time to go home...he was still great...well at first he said something about how I made a difference that day....but than he said that'd he see me tomorrow... and I just started blushing and smiling...
But the only thing is...these moments were in the past and after see you tomorrow...it's pretty much like nothing happened...I guess nothing will ever happen between us...maybe he said that he wanted to go out with me, he kissed me, said he'd see me tomorrow....just so he wouldn't hurt my feelings...
Maybe I should be fair though...after all it's only been 3 days and I was sick one of those days...
But who would love me? I'm Michelle Dessler....and I work at a counter terrorist unit...a guy's job...maybe a job I love...but most guys want a girl in short skirts that are dumb...I thought Tony was different but I guess not...
Ring Ring
Michelle snapped back into reality
"Dessler"
"Michelle do you have a minute?"
"Yeah..."
"Can I see you up in my office?"
"Ok Tony – I'll be right up..."
Michelle knocked on the door...
"Come in"
"Hey Tony...what's up?"
"Um Michelle...I know it's been a few days and all...but um...what we talked about a few days ago....are we still on for that dinner and movie?"
"Ya....of course Tony"
"Ok....good" Tony said as he smiled over at Michelle. She was so beautiful...he loved a woman that could work at a job like CTU and do a good job...
Michelle smiled back at Tony...so maybe she was right...maybe Tony didn't care if she was a dumb girl with a short skirt...
"Pick you up Friday around 7?"
"Um Ya Ok..."
Michelle blushed and turned around and walked down the stairs. She couldn't stop smiling...he had finally asked her out. It had taken months but they were finally going on a date...was she nervous? No not really....
