Judgin Amy Continues
Chapter 9
Tuesday morning
Amy walks into her office and 3 huge bouquets of orange and yellow roses fill her office. Amy smiles and then walks over to a bouquet sitting on her desk and removes the card. She opens it and it reads:
The moonlight & ocean
would like to thank you
for an evening to remember.
They think you're beautiful, and so do I
Love,
David
Donna walks in and gasps "Wow, Judge Gray are those from David McClaren?" Yes, Donna they are." Amy's says glowing. "God, why doesn't that man have a brother?" Donna says still staring at the flowers. Bruce pops his head in "who died?" he asks. "You mean who got lucky!" Donna says and winks her eye at Amy. "Donna!" Amy says shaking her head. Bruce laughs "You're on in five Judge Gray." "Ya, Ok" Amy says, hiding the card behind her back. Bruce leaves. "I suppose you're not going to give me any details on your date last night?" Donna asks Amy. "No Donna...I'm not" Amy says still glowing. "Come on Judge Gray...I live for your stories...please...throw me a bone!" "Ok just a small bone... David took me out on a huge yacht last night and he cooked dinner for me." "And?" Donna prods. "And...let's just say...we slept under the stars." Amy blushes. Donna fans her face with the file that she's holding "God, that man has class...thanks for the bone Judge Gray." And she leaves. Amy opens the card and reads it again, then she says smiling to herself "he does have class...and so much more!" Then she worries that something has to go wrong soon, it always seems to when things are going this well.
12:30 in the cafeteria
Bruce and Amy are sitting at a table. Bruce says to Amy "Mia called...she wants to take Rebecca to Europe with her for a month at Christmas...she met some guy that wants to spend time getting to know Rebecca." "Oh Bruce...that's a long time...are you going to let her go?" "I don't know yet...I have to talk to Rebecca about it... I thought that maybe I would let her go, and then I could fly out there to see her during the week of Christmas." Amy looks over Bruce's shoulder "Looking for someone?" Bruce teases. "No... I'm not...I was just seeing...she pauses. Bruce finishes her sentence "seeing if David McClaren was coming?" He jeers. Amy stands up "Excuse me Bruce... I have a few things to do before we get back to work." "You don't have to explain...I saw those flowers!" Bruce is still laughing. Amy shakes her head while leaving. She stops and buys a sandwich and then goes up to David's office.
David's sitting at his desk going over some papers. "Hey you...Mr.Workaholic...don't you eat?" Amy asks holding up the sandwich. David looks up and smiles. "What...don't tell me you cooked for me?" "Ha...no...I'll leave the cooking to you." David gets up and he shuts the door. He takes the sandwich from Amy and puts it on his desk. "Thanks for the flowers by the way... they're beautiful David." "Well, beautiful flowers for a beautiful lady." Amy gushes and then says "Anyway you should eat...I'll drop by again after work." Amy motions towards the door. David follows her then says "wait." Amy stops and leans against the door. David moves close to her and says," I'm crazy about you Amy... I can't seem to stop wanting you." He puts his hands against the door and then he presses against her. Amy closes her eyes, David stares at her and smiles, and then closes his and kisses her gently on the lips. Amy presses hard towards him. Their breathing starts to become heavy. Amy knows she has to stop kissing David but finds it hard to and says "Stop David... I have to work and you have to eat." David stares at her and smiles and then he says "you're right" he reaches for the doorknob, Amy grabs his hand, she smiles and says "Ok, just one more for the road" and they begin kissing again. Amy pulls away and composes herself, then opens the door and smiles at David "I'll see you later Mr. McClaren." "You will Judge Gray...I'll be here." David pokes his head out the door and watches her walk down the hallway, and while still trying to catch his breath, he quietly says "Wow!"
5:00 p.m.
Amy's packing up her flowers to take home and Donna comes in "Hey Judge Gray...so do you have another big date planned with Mr. Romantic tonight?" "Donna...you really need to get a life of your own, so you'll stop drilling me about mine!" "Sorry Judge Gray...I promise I won't bother you anymore...you can just give me the details in the morning!" Amy shoos Donna out the door. "Have a VERY GOOD-night Judge Gray." Donna nudges Amy with her elbow and then leaves. Amy locks the door and walks over to David's office. David's already gone when she gets there. Amy glances at her watch, and then checks her cell phone for any messages "He never said goodnight or left a message." Amy says to herself disappointed.
Amy looks at the flowers and shakes her head, then she slowly walks down the hallway and goes home.
