Hey. I fell asleep when I got home. I’m sorry. Last night was wonderful.

I pressed send before I’d had the chance to overanalyze it and change the wording multiple times to essentially say the same damn thing. I locked the phone just as quickly as I’d sent the text. I refused to be the pathetic little girl who kept staring at her phone screen in vain. I would get a notification once he replied, right?

My thoughts shifted from Arthur, his biceps, and his kiss to my meeting with Henry once I began my walk from the station to the office. My feet hurt, though it helped that they were a little numb in the slight chilly weather. My eyes desperately searched for my friends, and I ignored the many faces that had been staring at me as I walked through the office.

Deb and David weren’t at their cubicles so I decided to take David’s seat and wait for them to arrive. I’d gotten to the office early, earlier than most people, like I always did. Too bad, my boss didn’t seem to notice that enough to promote me.

I glanced at my watch multiple times, wishing the meeting was right now, so I could get it over with. Instead, it was in an hour and it seemed impossible to keep my head straight until then. I wanted the band-aid to be ripped off already, I was tired of living in suspense.

David arrived before Deb did, and his smile told me everything I needed to know about what was going on in his mind. The big mouthed Deborah Denton had told him everything about my date. That girl simply didn’t know how to keep her trap shut when it concerned the two of us. I knew all the things that David had told her about himself, so it was only fair that he knew things about me too. And right now, I couldn’t complain because I needed a friend to talk to and Deb was late like she was almost every morning.

“So, how was it?” He wanted to know.

I buried my face in my palm and rested my pointer finger over one eyebrow.

“Can we not talk about that right now?”

His grin became wider. “What else would you rather talk about?”

“I’m just so nervous.”

A quivering smile appeared on my face when I said that, then nodded when David reached over and rubbed my shoulder.

“Trust me, you’ve got nothing to worry about.”

I shook my head and asked him how he can be so sure, but all I received in return was an empty assurance that Henry was not going to kick me out.

“Maybe I fucked something up,” I shrugged. “You know I get distracted sometimes. Maybe I missed a deadline or an email…”

My head touched my thighs and David continued to rub my back till I sat up straight again.

“How can you be so sure though? Do you know something that I don’t?”

He bit his bottom lip and leaned in. He looked like he wanted to tell me something at first but then decided against it.
