Hey guess what? Since I don't know when the next I'll be uploading is I'll leave you guys with a few chapters to enjoy! I got a lot of inspiration when I was out of town and I've been trying to catch up with my writing and work since I got home. I hope everyone is enjoying the story thus far! Please feel free to leave feedback! I love knowing what you guys think!

I'd like that very much

Ryan stood in the locker room alone, leaning his head against Jessica's locker. How could he have been so stupid! Jessica was his intern! He shouldn't be doing this. He could get the entire department in trouble for this.

But damn it, she was amazing! Ryan wanted more, but knew he shouldn't. Maybe he should apologize for his behavior tomorrow when he saw her. But what would he say?

A thousand thoughts ran through his head and Ryan decided it was time to go home and forget the whole thing happened. He grabbed his stuff from his locker and walked to the elevator. He had to wait a while, since it seemed Jessie was still on it, riding to the first floor. He left the building and headed to the employee parking lot, and that's when he heard her voice.

"Daddy, you're never going to believe what someone did to my car!" Jessica exclaimed. "They slashed my tires! And only my tires! No one else got slashed!" She was so angry, but rightly so. The tires on her Q7 were completely flat and the car was resting on the rims.

"Would you? Thank you Daddy, you're amazing. Just tell them to leave it in the parking lot after they're done changing the tires. I can take a cab home, it's no big deal. No, don't leave work, I'll be fine. Yeah, I'll call you in the morning if I need a ride to work. Ok, I love you, too."
Jessica hung up the phone and leaned against the useless Q7 with her eyes closed. She didn't see the person approach but she heard him.

"Hey Jess, is everything alright?" Ryan asked her.

Jessica's heart fluttered at the sound of his voice. She opened her eyes to see him standing right in front of her. "No, someone slashed my tires and now I have to call a cab to get home."

"Would you like me to drive you home?"

Jessica thought on this for a moment. She would love more time with Ryan, and they might as well get over the whole awkward "We made out and it was amazing but now I know you'll never want me the way I want you" stage, since they would still be working together for the next couple of months.

"Yeah, I think I would like that very much."

Ryan smiled at her and she couldn't help but return the smile. He reached out and took her hand in his, intertwining their fingers together and lead her to a red Toyota Venza. He unlocked the doors and opened the passenger door for her. After she climbed in he walked around the driver's side and climbed in behind the wheel. Ryan's car was so spotless, and Jessica knew it was the OCD.

Ryan began to pull out of the parking lot and was about to ask Jessica which way when instead he decided on something different.

"Do you want to go out to dinner?" he asked her, "You know, to celebrate your amazing work today and all you've done for the lab?"

Jessica thought it over for a moment. How much more could he hurt her at this point?

"Yeah, I think that sounds like a great idea." She looked at him and smiled and he beamed back at her, almost like he was glowing. She wondered briefly if maybe he was trying to rekindle what had happened in the locker room.
