Chapter 3

We walked back into the house and into the library where everyone was. "So did Josh get his foot out of his mouth?" Sam asked with a sandwich in his hand.

"Yeah, and I get the rest of the day off." I said smiling at Sam.

"Wow, Josh are you okay? Do you have a fever?" Toby asked not even looking up from his food and work.

"No, I'm being nice to Donna because I want her to have a god time tonight."

"Aww, that was sweet Josh. It almost made me cry." C.J. said with her hand, faking, wiping tearing eye.

"Shut up." Josh said with a little pout.

"It's okay Josh I believe you and thank you." I gave him a peck on the cheek. Since I was next to his ear and my back to everyone. I whispered in his ear "Thank you" then I nibbled on his ear.

I walked away and went to the empty couch with my lunch and ate. Josh, after a few seconds, came next as we ate and worked a little. C.J., Toby, and Sam had to go show Leo and the President the draft they made for the press. So I was alone with Josh, man was that a warning or what. I turned my head towards him to talk, but he had other ideas.

He grabbed my head and kissed me passionately. A few moments later we came up for air. He put his forehead on mine. When we caught our breath josh pulled his head away from mine.

"That was for the ear thing before. Do you know how badly I wanted to kiss then?"

"Well at least you are growing some patience. You used to how none, you see I am valuable to you."

"You have always been valuable to me and now that you're 'with' me you are invaluable."

"I have to say I'm speechless that was one of the nicest, sweetest thing you ever said to me."

"There is always a first, and I hope not last time for everything."

I pulled him up with me as I stood and hugged him tight.

God I love this woman, but I'm an afraid to tell her, so instead I hugged her as tight as she hugged me. I can't wait until tonight to tell and show her how much I love her.

"Okay, why don't you go take your nap now? Then I'll knock on your door at 7:00 okay?" I asked releasing her just enough to see her.

"Okay, but if you need anything you'll come and get me. Promise me okay?"

"Okay, I promise you. Now go get your beauty rest."

She kissed me and then left the room, so I stood there just thinking about her and counting the seconds until I see her again.
