The Cardoza/Boa Vista Experiment!
"I told you, something came up." Jesse explained to Natalia when they were alone in the break room.
"Just so you know, I bought you a drink. Then I drank it after 20 minutes of waiting for you."
"Well thank you. It's the thought that counts."
"So were you thinking of how you ditched me when you were with her?" Natalia snapped.
"I was not with her!" Jesse lied. (though technically, he wasn't)
"Well, you stood me up for someone."
"Hold on, you're making it sound like we were dating. It wasn't a date, with you."
"I know, I know, but that doesn't give you the right to leave me hanging." Natalia said quietly. She'd now made Jesse feel like an ass. Natalia turned away and started making coffee.
"I'm sorry," Jesse said wanting to hug her. Then he though about what he really wanted, "Do you want to go on a date with me?"
Natalia slowly turned back around. "I don't know, are you gonna be there?" she asked with a smirk. He nodded hopefully and extended his arms for that hug he wanted. She accepted the hug (as well as the date), letting Jesse wrap her in his arms.
"Same place, same time tonight?" Jesse whispered. Natalia nodded as he broke the hug.
"I'll buy this time." he said, patting her shoulder and walking out.
