Takes place when the characters are old enough to have full time jobs, & are maybe starting to settle down…
Alita's POV:
"Morning, Jeremy." I said as he entered the kitchen. "Did you sleep in front of the computer last night?"
"How'd you know?" he asked. He knew better than to deny it, even though I worried about him.
"You still have a mark on the side of your fore head." I pointed out.
"It was worth it. I think I figured out how to crack the encryption on the flash drive!"
"I'd love to hear about it, but it can wait until we're actually in the office." Jeremy & I had started a small IT business after we had finished our education. "Besides, I made pancakes!" I said, bringing both plates over to the kitchen table.
"You're amazing." Jeremy said as we started to eat. I smiled. I loved that Jeremy & I had been living together for the past few months…
"By the way, I'm probably meeting Yumi after work to do some dress shopping." I said. "I should be back in time for dinner, but I'll let you know…"
"Why do you need a dress?"
I smiled & held up my left hand, waving my fingers a little bit so that the diamond ring sparkled in the light.
"We haven't set a date yet." Jeremy said. He had only asked me a couple of weeks ago.
"I know." I said. "But you never know when you'll find the perfect dress…"
"All right, I'll call Ulrick & Od to see if they want to do something." Jeremy said. "Hopefully, they won't be too busy fighting over who gets to be my best man…"
I laughed. "Well, you don't need to decide right away…"
"Yeh…I'll ask both of them, but it's fun to watch them fight over it." Jeremy said as he carried the plates to the sink. "Ready to go?"
"Yep, I just need to grab my purse." I said.
"Ok, I'll bring the car around & meet you out front." Jeremy said. Parking for our apartment building was horrible.
"Sounds good." I said. I checked to make sure I had everything I needed in my bag…& noticed the keys sitting on the table.
"Alita?" Jeremy called from the front door. "Have you seen the car keys?"
"I've got them." I said, passing them over.
"You're an angel." Jeremy said, kissing me as we headed out. "So, let me tell you about the idea I had last night…"
"We're not at the office yet."
Well, we're officially at the halfway point! Thanks for sticking with me so far, even though I know my updates have been anything but regular…I'm hoping to be able to get back on track soon!
