As you and your boss talk a little more, the conversation turns to faces. That's when it clicks with you.
"So am I really one of the old guys now that I think about it?" You say to yourself giving yourself a little a tap.
"Yes, yes you are." Michael said with a smile looking at you
"You are around the same age as me Michael. You're not exactly young either" You said with a chuckle. You swear you could see Michael blush at that.
"I'm actually older than you are, I just don't look like it." Replies Michael with a nervous tone. Was he self concious of his age?
"Oh really. Enlighten me with your age" You said with a smirk.
"I'll be 42 in a week." Michael explained as you nodded. You could see him looking down again.
You're taken aback for a moment before looking at him "We have the same age range, you're around my age too."
"Do you mind if I ask you something Michael?" You asked silently at him before you see him nod.
"Are you... self conscious about your age?" You asked and you swear you could see Michael widened his eyes before nervously looking down and nods.
"A little bit. I don't want to live my life alone. I want to have a family of my own" Michael admitted which made you nodded. You were surprised that Michael was admitting this to you. It must have been personal for him.
"You're with Jan right? From what i heard you and her are both happy together?" You asked him with a brow looking at him. He just looked at you and nodded slowly before he sighed.
"We have been friends with benefits for a year now. At first it was complicated. Jan didn't want to make our relationship public but i accidentally send a picture to the warehouse. They printed it and it hangs there for everyone to see. I dont mind that actually but Jan on the other hand is horrified at it" Michael said with a shrug which made you chuckled.
"What picture did you accidentally sent to the warehouse exactly?" You asked which made Michael chuckled a bit before he spoke.
"Its a picture of Jan in a bikini" Michael said and you looked at him with widened eyes.
"Michael! Any woman would be uncomfortable with that! I would be uncomfortable if that happened to me" You said with a frown which made Michael speechless for a bit.
"So are you planning to make it official with Jan?" You ask him with a raised brow as Michael looked at you with a confused face.
"Getting married with Jan? I mean i do want to marry her. We just never talked about it yet" Michael admitted as you nodded.
"You're not getting younger Michael. You should propose to her already" You said with an encouraging tone looking at him.
"I will think about it Carly. Speaking of which, I don't see a ring on you" Michael said with a curious tone looking at you. You blushed as you looked away.
"Well I don't exactly have any luck in that department either" You said as Michael just frowned. He just looked at you like he was studying you. It was silent for a moment before he spoke.
"Why not? You're a really attractive woman. Any guy would be lucky to have you. And you can speak Yoda and that is really rare" Michael complimented which made you blush even more.
"I dont think speaking yoda can get me a date Michael. Like who would date me?" You said as you looked down playing with your feet.
"I would date you" You heard Michael said as you looked up with a suprised look. You could see he was smiling but he wasn't kidding.
"Really?" You asked as he just nodded. This made you blush even more as you looked away.
"You must have dated a lot of guys right?" Michael asked as you just nod looking at him in the eyes.
"I have dated like 5 guys in the past 10 years. All of them just want me for my body " You said to him which he just nods as before he replied.
"But isn't that a good thing? You have a great and attractive body." Michael said as you just stared at him with a frown.
"I want to date someone that sees past my body. I want them to like me for who I am and not my appearance" You said with a shrug looking away.
"They will like your personality Carly. I like talking to you. You actually listen to me talk and not get annoyed by my antics" Michael said which made you smiled. You didn't mind his childishness as you liked that part of him. You didn't mind his playfulness as much as his others qualities.
"Thanks Michael. Jan is lucky to have you. Like I said you should propose to her soon before its too late. Don't wait much longer." You said with a smile looking at him. Michael just looked at you confusedly before nodding.
"You really think I should propose to her?" Michael asked with a brow looking at you.
"Yes you should propose to her Michael. You deserve to be happy" You said with a small smile.
