I headed across the street to Marie's Magical Sandwiches, a little shop that specialises in Sandwiches and rolls.
Back in the office
John waited for a few minutes before getting a ring box out from his desk, picking up a pen he began to write:
'Claire
Please accept this as a gift to a very special friend; the blue of the sapphire brings out the blue in your gorgeous eyes.
My love always
John x'
Folding the paper neatly, he slid the note into the ring box and placed the box into the drawer of Claire's desk.
Settling back down at his John waited for Claire to come back. A few minutes later she arrived back in the office.
"Here" I said thrusting a bag at John
"Oh you got my favourite, thanks Claire" John said looking into the bag.
I sat down at my desk and picked up the phone, dialling Luke's number, I hit the speakerphone button
"Babe's its me" I said when he picked up
"I've told you not to call me when I'm on duty"
"Yes I know"
"Don't you dare be late tonight gorgeous"
"I won't be late I promise babes"
"You said that last night"
"I know and I'm sorry it wasn't my fault"
"Its never your bloody fault is it?"
"I'll be in by ten Luke, I have to attend an obbo"
"What the…? You just said you'd be in early"
"I'm sorry, I've just received an internal memo about it"
"Who brought you that then John!"
"No actually Jim brought it too me" I looked up at John and mouthed 'sorry'
"This obbo, whose on it?"
"Me, John, Kerry, Deakin, Beech, Rod, Tom, Liz, Mickey, Duncan, I'm the bait" I watched John smile as I spoke about tomorrow's obbo, he has such a beautiful smile
Luke was rambling on at me again, I suddenly made a decision:
"Luke, babes you're breaking up, I can't hear you" I turned off the speakerphone "whoops he's gone"
"Wow, your Luke certainly can talk can't he?" John laughed
"Yeah too much, he goes on for hours" I paused "I must be a really bad girlfriend 'cos all the way through the conversation, I was thinking about someone else"
"Who were you thinking about?"
"You" I replied quietly
Not to sure when the next update will be but please review, next chapter will prob be in two or three weeks.
Love you all
