For the next few minutes Michael stayed in the same spot when it finally clicked. He sprinted down form his office opting for the stairs instead of the elevator and made it outside in five minutes flat.
"Sydney!" he shouted.
Sydney turned around startled at first but then smiled when she realized who it was.
"I…wanted…to…ask you…something…upstairs." Michael breathlessly let out.
"And that would be?" Sydney asked curiously to what he had to say.
"I wanted to know if you wanted to go out with me this weekend." Michael asked as he straightened his lab coat.
Sydney smiled and nodded her head "I would love to!"
"Really?" Michael asked finally slowing his breathing back to normal.
"Yeah definitely, here's my cell number." Sydney said as she took out her business card and scribbled down her number. "Just give me a call and we'll figure something out."
"I most definitely will." smiled Michael
"Great, I guess I'll be talking to you then." Sydney said smiling back. "Bye Michael"
"Bye" Michael said as he watched Sydney walk to her car and drive away.
"Your going on a date with my dog's doctor!" shrieked Francie later that night.
"It's only one date Fran." Sydney said calmly as she washed the dishes from dinner.
"Oh please, you haven't stopped smiling since you brought Max back today."
"I just had a good day that's all."
"Yeah because you met Dr. Hottie today." grinned Francie
Sydney laughed as she started putting on her coat to leave. "That might have something to do with it."
"How come whenever I go, Dr. Weiss is there?" Francie said sadly.
"Francie! You have a boyfriend, Will, remember?"
"I know but still." Francie whined
"Ok I'm gonna go, busy day tomorrow." said Sydney as she got her back and walked to the door.
"Yeah sure get out before I start torturing you some" grinned Francie as she watched Sydney walk out the door laughing.
"Man, Mike what's with you tonight?" Eric Weiss said as he hit Michael with a basketball.
"Hey, watch it!"
Eric and Michael had been playing a quick pick up game of basketball on one of the neighborhood courts.
"If you actually started playing, I wouldn't have had to hit you with the ball!" Eric sighed dramatically.
"Sorry man, just thinking about something that happened to me today" said Michael as he sat down on one of the nearby benches, Eric following suit.
"Good or bad?" asked Weiss.
"Really good actually" answered Michael smiling.
"Oh no it's a girl isn't it?"
"Maybe" grinned Michael
"You dog! That's why you've had that stupid smirk on you face!" exclaimed Weiss as he smacked Michael on the back.
"I hate you, you know that right?" Michael said jokingly.
"I'm to awesome, not to be loved." Eric shot back.
"Yeah, keep telling yourself that."
"Don't worry I will, so what's so special about this chick?" said Eric, wanting to know what has got his friend so preoccupied.
"For your information, her name's Sydney, she's smart, nice and so beautiful." Michael sighed as he started watching a couple kids starting they're own game. "She's perfect"
"Whoa, are you feeling ok?" said Eric as he checked Michael's forehead. "I think you're burning up!"
"Haha" Michael replied dryly as he smacked Eric's hand away.
"So are you taking her out?" asked Eric
"Yeah, we're actually going out this weekend" Michael said smiling.
"So where are you taking her?"
"I have absolutely no idea" Michael said "But it has to be good."
