Chapter 3
This chapter picks up right where we just left Tony and Michelle in the conference room.
"Chinese." Responded Michelle, happy he asked.
"Ok. I'll call it in. Where do you want to work?
"How about I meet you in the lounge in ten minutes? I just want to check my messages."
"You got it." Tony replied as he got up and moved to follow Michelle out. He couldn't believe he was going to work one on one with Michelle all night.
--ten minutes later—
"Alright, where should we start?"
"I had an idea. I took the information from the laptop we got from Chapelle and moved it on to yours. I thought we should put it up on the big screen and just go one by one."
"Sounds good." Suddenly, a bell goes off in the background from the security office. "Food's here."
"Great. Want to eat first?"
"Sure." As the delivery man comes in, they clear off the table and begin to eat and talk about their day. Throughout their meal, Tony was pondering asking Michelle out again. He didn't want to be anxious, but had a huge crush on his co-worker. After their date, they shared an amazing kiss. It obviously wasn't there first, but was under much better circumstances. Little did he know, across the table, Michelle was wondering the same thing and feeling the same way. Finally, as they were cleaning up, he just decided to ask.
"Hey Michelle, I have a question. Do you want to go out to dinner with me tomorrow night? I mean, I know we just went out but I had a great time and....." before he could finish Michelle intervened.
"Tony, I'd love to." She responded confidently and with a huge smile. She was riveted he asked and now much more excited about getting to work with him all night.
Once they finished cleaning up, they got to work. Using the computer, they moved through each one, saying 'yay' or 'nay' to each. And, in his usual fashion, Tony made hilarious comments about each, keeping Michelle on her toes. By ten o'clock, they were halfway through.
"Alright, what about this guy?" asked Michelle "Nah, too much of a threat. He looks like your type and I want you all to myself."
Blushing, Michelle replied, "Tony that is no reason to not give someone a job."
"Well, I think it is. You got a problem with that?" he asked his counterpart jokingly.
"Yea, well what if I do?" Per her response, Tony gets up and walks calmly over to the other couch and grabs a pillow.
"Well, we will just have to see about that now won't we?" With a sly grin, he slowly creeps over to where Michelle is sitting.
"Oh my god, Tony Almeida, don't you even dare." Noticing he wasn't stopping, she jumped to her feet and ran the opposite way to get her own pillow.
"Don't even try to run!" After completing a lap, Tony caught Michelle off guard and nailed her. She took it calmly and plotted her revenge. As she went to get him, he faked a problem with his ankle to get her near the couch. When she went over to check on him, he tackled her to the couch.
"See, I got you just where I want you." As they both stopped laughing, with Tony on top of Michelle, he looked into her eyes to see her looking back. And, without warning, went in for a quick kiss. He pulled back, but saw it was requited as she smiled and pulled him back towards her, stroking his neck. They both quickly relaxed and started making out in the middle of the lounge. After about a minute, Michelle pulled back.
"Uh Tony, do you think we should get back to work?"
"Yes, but I have no where to be later, do you?"
"No."
"Ok." And with that, he went back in to keep kissing her, and she put up no argument. About ten minutes later, they both agreed to get back to work. Around 11:30, they had finally picked their fellow staff members and sent their selections to Chapelle.
"Well, that was certainly interesting. Don't you think?" asked Tony.
"Oh yes. But definitely enjoyable."
"I can't disagree. Wow, it's late. Alright, you ready to go?"
"Sure." And, with that, they both walked downstairs into the parking garage. They parted ways soon after, both seemingly happy about what had gone on during the night.
