Chapter 3: In denial
Laura rolls off of Paul and gets up quickly blushing. "Oh my God, Jillian that did not just happen." Laura started to walk away embarrassed.
Jillian pulls her back. "Calm down Laura, it's Paul, he's the sweetest guy, hes not mad, look." Jillian points her in the direction of Paul still lying on the floor.
Laura felt relieved yet still embarrassed.
She extended her hand and helped Paul up.
Paul laughed to himself "Phew, atleast you only weigh around 120lbs." he said smiling at Laura.
Laura laughed and hit her forehead, still in disbelief of what just happened. Her fellow creative team writer Daryl walked over. "Gee Laura, what a blonde!" Daryl said laughing and walking away.
Laura shook her head. "I'm sorry about all of that." she said not looking at Paul.
"It's alright, dont worry..." Paul said and hinted towards finding out her name.
"Laura." She said helping him out.
Jillian slowly walks away.
"Well..I better get going..have things to work on. But it was great meeting you" Laura said looking away again.
"It was my pleasure" Paul said looking directly into Laura's eyes.
She looked up at Paul and saw him looking 'oh boy' she thought to herself. Suddenly she felt weak in the knees, butterflies in her stomach and could barely talk.
Laura quickly ran down the hall to another room to catch her breath.
Jillian came in and stared at Laura. "Whats wrong hun?" she asked a bit concerned.
"Nothing, im fine." Laura said laughing.
Jillian looks over at her and nods. "Ah..ok."
She started to leave the room, then came back. "So..how'd it go with Paul?"
"Huh? just introduced myself, thats about it." Laura said looking away.
"He's sweet, isn't he?" Jillian said smiling.
Laura shrugged.
"Oh oh oh" Jillian said laughing.
Laura looked up at her "What?"
"You like himmmmm." her best friend said dancing around the room. "It's love!"
"Oh shutup, he's just a guy, I never said anything." Laura said hiding her smile.
"I know that look and that tone..you like him." Jillian said once more.
"Nope." Laura said shaking her head.
"You do, your in denial." Jillian said giggling.
