6. Break Away
(Modified to 'Elope', the thesaurus says they're the same D)
Sarah nervously tapped her fingers on her desk, unable to focus on her work. She turned around again, the joined desks behind her will still empty. She gave a quiet anxious keening sound, and turned back to her work again.
She glanced at the black phone on her desk, glanced back at her computer screen, glanced down at the phone, back at the screen. This time when she looked back at the phone she picked it up and began dialing Jake's number.
...Ring...Ring...
...Ring...Ring...
...Ring...Ring...
"Hey, it's Jake (and Amir!) shut up man, I can't come to-" she slammed the phone down and growled with frustration.
Neither Jake nor Amir had come into the office, nor had either called in sick... and it was just passing lunch time. She knew she should be concerned, but considering the two were together... oddly she didn't.
When Jake had woken up that morning he was struck with the random stray thought that neither himself nor Amir would be going to work today. He realized after moment that Amir was included this, because said person was currently wrapped around him; still asleep.
When he had had stepped out of his apartment building (and Amir had stumbled out rather unceremoniously), the weather was far too nice to go to work... as much as he was against skipping work, he knew the day was meant for adventure.
Streeter approached Sarah's desk, "Hey, have you seen Jake today?" he asked, "We were supposed to work on a script today."
Sarah shrugged, "Amir isn't here either." she answered.
Streeter laughed darkly, "They're probably having sex on the beach.", he joked.
Sarah had no doubt this was a nearly accurate description.
Jake figured, maybe he could be only a little late... but Amir was involved.
"We should totally play hookie and chill. That would be so ace." Amir had said brightly.
Jake frowned, "We can't skip the whole day." he said, giving him a look that said the decision was final.
Amir frowned, this got no reaction, "Come ooooon.." he whined, wiggling his lower lip. This got no reaction either, so he directed big water eyes full force at Jake and spoke with a wavering voice, "I thought we were gullies, man.", a few tears slipped out.
Jake sighed, he was caught. "Ok, two hours."
Amir brightened immediately, "Adventure!" he yelled, and ran towards Jake's car.
Seven hours later...
So... maybe they lost track of time, and maybe Amir can't read watches... And maybe, just possibly... Jake was enjoying his time with Amir.
