Chapter Seven

Monday came all too soon and Zwyk had been dealing with paperwork all morning. Even though it was his first day back after being off for a week, the mountain on his desk made it seem like it had been months that he’d been at home. He was tackling everything in his inbox before moving on to the other stacks. He might have moved a little faster if his thoughts weren’t filled with Rory.

Since the night she’d hit the blonde in the bar, they’d spent as much time together as possible. He hated that he had to return to work. It wasn’t that he didn’t like his job, but he wanted more time with Rory. Now he’d have to work all week before he’d have an entire day to spend with her. And no more late nights during the week. He’d stayed up a few times gaming and hadn’t been able to focus the next day.

Zwyk frowned. It wasn’t the first time he’d thought about Rory. And it wasn’t the first time today that he’d wished he were home with her instead. He didn’t understand why he felt the urge to spend every waking moment with her, but when they parted ways at night, he wished he was staying to hold her in his arms all night. She’d offered that night, but he’d decided to do the right thing and walk away. He wanted her, more than he’d ever wanted anyone before, but the moment hadn’t felt right. He didn’t want to rush things with Rory, even if she did seem eager to haul him into the bedroom. She’d tried luring him there every night.

“Zwyk, it’s time for lunch,” Vordro said. “And you have a guest waiting for you at the front desk.”

A guest? Zwyk frowned, not remembering an appointment for the day. He finished what he was doing and then made his way to the front of the Terran station. When he saw Rory standing there in a sundress, he thought his heart might burst. She looked so beautiful, and way more dressed up than usual. He wondered if it was a special occasion and he’d forgotten.

She wrapped her arms around his waist and kissed him. “I thought I’d surprise you.”

“I’m very surprised.”

“It’s your lunch break, right? I mean, you can leave for a little while?”

“I usually eat at the food court in the center of the station. I only have a half hour for lunch today because of how backed up my files are.”

She nodded. “Then we’ll eat here. Assuming it’s okay for me to join you?”

“Of course it is!”

He grasped her hand and led her through the station. When they reached the center, he showed her all the possibilities for lunch. There were a few Terran options and quite a few human ones. She surprised him by being brave enough to try the Terran cuisine, something none of his previous girlfriends had done. Once they had their plates, they found a table and sat down. Rory sat next to him with their knees brushing under the table.
