A Small Town Girl

Chapter 4 "Plans"

The weeks to follow after the business trips returned much to normal but both Denise and Moray seemed absent from their desks more often. Morays pay as you go bill went through the roof. Denise just laughed when he complained about the about of money he was spend on everything as she sat with him after work hours. Telling him it was his own fault and there most be a very special person for him to spend so much money on them. The number of boxes of Chineses in Denise's bin doubled. With her inbox going from 10 a day to 30 emails a day at minimum .

Denise seemed happy and she was. She had made friends in the office weekly going out for drinks with the girls much to Morays protest. She ignores him most of the time just did send the occasional annoyed/mildly annoyed texts or emails, scolding him for being so childish and selfish. She had other friends then just him in the office and she infact did have a life outside of work that did not involve Moray. The occasional time there did have a proper arguement it usually ended in some late night antics which was tight lipped about the next day infact she never really talked about it.

Friend she had never call him her lover or anything like that, he didn't know where they stood. He wanted more but he didn't want to push it to far in fear he may lose her and since she seemed perfectly happy with their situation at the moment and even though they got to properly sleeping together since that night in Italy.

However months after the conference it was bit of a different story he had thought it would just happen and when it did, he didn't question why but he could feel the spark going out of their relationship if he could even call it that.

She had called him something of a hormonal teenager when he said he wanted her again and wouldn't talk to him for days about anything that wasn't work related and even when she did actually talk to him it was always in or just a little bit after work hours. Infact in recent months she seems to be leaving earlier and earlier he guessed to avoid any awkward conversations with him they would usually have after hours. She was very much in control of that and him but soon that would all change he hoped since he had a plan.

He enjoyed the time they had spent together in the weeks after Italy when he felt like they were closer, now he felt like she was drifting anyway. Yes they were still friends but not like they used to and he didn't want them to slowly but surely drift away she was more then a work place fling to him what ? He didn't know yet but he needed that definition of them. He couldn't just go on wondering

'Cause every word and every turn

Every sign points to your hurt

With every hour your drifting futher away

AN- sorry if you felt this was short because it is just a filler chapter so was not meant to be super long the next one is longer ( I hope!) and since nearly all of the rest of the chapters have been written or have been mapped out and have been planned to be written soon hopefully if it all works out then you should get all the chapters quicker then I would have them out if I hadn't written any of them Which is always good!

However the chapters will for sure be coming out slower a full explanation can be found on my profile bit basically this is just a very important year for me and I don't want to mess it up one bit. I hope you will understand my dear readers

I love all of my readers and reviewers

Until next time
