It has been 3 weeks and 5 days since I told Ranger how I felt, and he hasn't done anything about it. I know I told him I would wait, but why does he have to take so long. I mean if he didn't want me he would come out and just say so, but he hasn't, so that must mean that he does…right. We still see each other at the office or when ever I need him, but just minus the kisses. I had come really close to blowing up another car today and Joe was getting on my nerves so I went to the mall for some retail therapy. I was on my way to my car with several bags when I accidentally bumped into someone.
"Sorry I wasn't paying attention…" I looked up at who I had run into, and boy was he HOT. He had blonde hair, and really bright blue eyes. He was built, bigger than Joe but smaller that Ranger. I was so caught up in his eyes I didn't realize he was talking to me. "Hello, I said are you ok" "huh, I mean ya, sorry about that." He smiled at me, and wow was it breathe taking. "No problem. I'm Jeremy, I just moved here"
"I'm Stephanie, but you can call me Steph"

I found out that my babe was having a bad day, and the monitor said she was at the mall, so I thought I would go see if she was ok. Figures she would be shopping, why women think buying things they don't need would make them feel better is beyond me. I haven't told her how I felt about her yet, and Tank has been on my ass about it ever since she came to me. I want to be with her, and maybe I will get up the nerve to tell her later today, see if she wants to come to my place for diner. I just pulled in and I saw her… and then I saw she was talking to some guy. They were smiling at each other and I couldn't see what the guy was saying but whatever it was, it made her laugh. They were flirting. Seeing her with another man did it in for me. I parked the car and walk right up to her. "Babe"

I was talking to Jeremy when I felt that tingle on the back of my neck and then I heard it. "Babe" I turn around to see Ranger. "What are you doing here Ranger" Jeremy looked between the two of us and spoke up. "Hey there, I am Jeremy" he stuck out his hand to shake Ranger's, and if I didn't know any better I would say that Ranger didn't like him much. "Ranger" he says; wow, I glare at him, I mean I know he has sucky communication skills, but still. "Well, it was nice to meet you Stephanie; you have my number if you ever want to hangout. I have things to do so I'll catch up with you later." I nod and he gives me this smirk that made my knees go weak before I watch him walk in the store and pull out his phone.

I called the man that sent me here. "It's done, and he seemed jealous, so I think that he got the idea he shouldn't make her wait anymore." I spoke into the phone. "Good, well done, and thanks again man, I owe you one." Tank said. I just smile. "Nah man, just meeting her was enough for me. She is one great girl. I've only talked to her for about 5 minutes and I'm already attached. I kind of don't want to let him take her." I hear Tank laugh before he spoke again "Ya, I know what you mean, Steph has that affect on people. Sadly that includes psychos as well." I hang up with Tank and think about weather or not I should give Ranger a chance. I mean if he is dumb enough to let someone as great as Stephanie walk away, then why should I not take my own chance at getting with her. Maybe.
