"Charlie, we gotta talk." Roger said standing in the doorway of Charlie's office.
"Can it wait Roger? I really have to get this order done." she asked not looking up. It had been a week and a half since their kiss and neither one of them could get it out of their minds. They had barely said 2 words to each other in that time.
"I really think we need to talk." he told her quietly sitting in the chair next to her desk.
"Listen Roger, what happened that night never should have happened. We were both really pissed off and..." she started before he interrupted her.
"Damn woman, do you have to over analyze everything all the time?" he asked frustrated.
"Me? You're the one coming in here to talk about it." she yelled slamming her pen on the desk. It jumped up and hit Roger in the head.
"Shit." he yelled holding his head.
"Oh my God, I'm so sorry Roger." she said getting up to see how he was.
"Are you always this violent?" he asked as she stood over him.
"Only when it comes to you. You frustrate me so much." she told him laughing.
"You find hurting me amusing?" he asked rubbing his head smiling at her.
"No, I'm sorry. It's just you are the most frustrating man I've ever met. No one's ever stood up to me like you do." she said sitting down still laughing.
"And no one's ever questioned me with music the way you do." he said smiling at her.
"Well I've managed a lot of clubs in the city and I know what reels people in." she told him sitting back in her chair.
"I'm sorry about that song. I was pissed and when I get pissed I'm an idiot." he told her making sure he wasn't bleeding from his head.
"That's OK. Everyone loved it. It's a classic." she said smiling at him.
"About the kiss..." he started shifting in his chair.
"It's OK. I mean it was a rough night and..." she started before he interrupted her.
"Can I say something please?" he asked sitting up straighter as she looked down smiling.
"Sorry." she said before looking up at him.
"I was gonna say, about the kiss. I liked it." he told her rubbing his head again.
"So did I." she said smiling up at him.
"So I was thinking. Since we can't seem to get away from it, do you wanna maybe, possibly go out on a date with me? Just to see how it goes." he asked nervously smiling at her.
"You're asking me out on a date? You're not very good at this, are you?" she asked laughing a little.
"Not really, no." he told her laughing. "So do you want to?"
"Yeah, I'd like that." she said as he leaned towards her to kiss her. He swept her into his arms as they stood up and kissed furiously.
"Charlie can I..." Mark said opening the door to Charlies office and seeing them. "Oh shit, I'm sorry. I'll come back." he said smiling as he closed the door.
"Oh man. This isn't good." Roger said laughing as he leaned his forehead to hers.
"Why not?" she asked confused.
"Him and Collins have been teasing me for months about us hooking up." he told her laughing.
"Is that what you meant a week and a half ago when you said your stupid friends were right?" she asked looking up at him.
"Yeah." he told her leaning down to kiss her again.
"Oh." she said laughing as she caressed his chest. "I really need to get back to work now. We'll talk later." she said smiling up at him.
"OK. I gotta come up with more songs to piss off my manager." he told her laughing as she laughed at him.
"You are so juvenile." she said laughing as he left the office.
"What was that I just walked in on?" Mark asked standing outside the office.
"Are you stalking me?" Roger asked startled.
"Were you and Charlie making out?" he asked as Roger walked away from him.
"Yeah Mark. I asked her out." he told him non chalantly.
"You what? Oh my God, Collins so owes me 20 bucks." he said excitedly as Roger turned around.
"What? You're betting on my love life now? You two really need a hobby." he told him surprised.
"We have one. You." Mark said laughing.
"You two are sick." he said climbing up on the stage.
"Seriously Roger, good for you. I knew you two were gonna get together." he said smiling at him.
"Yeah well, right now can I work on my playlist? And don't you have some lighting to work on?" Roger asked with a smirk on his face.
"Yeah sure Rog." Mark said walking away smiling to himself. "Go Roger." he said going to the phone.
"And you call Collins, you're a dead man Cohen." Roger said smiling as Mark laughed.
