The date really started on Monday when I walked into our office and found a box of freshly baked cookies from Amelie’s and a take-out latte, with just a post it stuck to the box, an ‘S’ scrawled on it with a kiss. We managed to work alongside each other, cogs in some new but efficient machine, but then, every so often, I'd catch him watching me, eyeing my boobs and walking his eyes up to my face with a dirty smirk on his face. I’d frown at him, but all I’d get back was another grin.

And then there were his words. Compliments, about my work and not just how I looked, although there were those too, all mixed in with the odd flirty comment said just loud enough for only me to hear.

On Tuesday, a vase full of roses was on my desk when I entered, with a bar of my favourite chocolate next to it. Another note, this time with more words, was left on the chocolate.

Can’t wait for tomorrow night.

He was sitting at his desk opposite mine when I read it, and as much as I tried not to, I looked straight at him after reading it. His grin this time wasn’t dirty, it was that shy one that I knew he kept hidden as much as possible.

“Me too.” I wasn’t questioning him anymore. He hadn’t avoided me; he’d told pretty much the whole company about painting Rose’s bedroom and some story about something funny she’d said to him, that was kind of cute.

“Good.”

“Where are we going?” I’d already tried to get this out of him, but he’d just shook his head and talked about the Hartford case instead. As a distraction technique, it’d worked.

“Not telling.”

“But I need to know what to wear.”

“Jeans. A jumper. It won’t be cold but you’ll want to be comfortable.”

I raised my eyebrows. “It’s a first date. I thought it was dress to impress.”

“I’m already impressed.” He looked back at his computer screen.

“Which is very nice to hear. Are we staying in the city?”

“I’m not going to waste travel time. I’ll pick you up and it’ll be a short drive. Don’t stress about it. It’ll be fun.” He looked up and gave me another smile, this one more of a grin that promised ‘fun’ was of the adult sort, or at least that was what was going through his mind.

“Fun.”

“Yes, Georgie. Now tell me what you think of that email David sent.”
